Welcome back, Khanz. Clones are against the rules, but as I recall at the time we all understood why you had to create a second account, and allowed it. Why the third account?

Long time no see - enjoying what you're seeing of Stranger?

sligslinger... quite sad you putted your adress on the picture I found... Should I do the same for ALL the picture coming on TAOO (and so spoil them)?

What struck me then was that Bawhnee Sue McUgly and Unkle TurkeyToes are the most piss-taking things I've seen in Dear Alf since he said the next game would feature Agent Abe and Agent Munch as they battle an alien invasion. Piss-take, I tell you! And a hilarious one at that, especially since so many people seemingly fell for it.

Nay, his name is Unkle TurkeyToes i say!

***Wil*** · #34 02-07-2004, 10:18 AM

lol, sure Esus. That would prove that OWI have lost their nomenclature skills. Why would they name someone after an Earth creature, hmm? OWI should have learnt that lesson from MO.

Oh, and Jacob - they all have two legs. Even the Wartslog. Mind you, I remember some loof complaining about how they were fed up of one-legged creatures as MO was coming out, tee hee hee.

Oh yes, and I've just remembered, I couldn't spot the rat/scorpion/spider creature from the card in the image.

And SS, I didn't notice that before, but that wasn't a nice thing to do with Xav's image. I can understand forgetting to give him credit, but why superimpose your URL on it?

At first I thought Alf was making fun with the names "Unkle Turkey Toes" & "Bawhnee Sue McUgly". But now I am considering that these names could be real... I am keeping an open mind about this game as it probably won’t relate to a lot of things we consider "Oddworlds Style". Its not part of the Quintology... so anything can happen...

I didn't mean to put that on the picture, I just put it on there to decide whether or not it would fit with my site, but I knew it would be exploited since i was borrowing it. Sorry

***Xavier*** · #37 02-08-2004, 12:44 AM

hmmmm... TAOO should realy be here faster, but nothing is moving since Alcar is away.
TAOO will be the ultimate guide to ALL the pictures...
Too all Odd-Web-Masters, be sure to forget the galleries on your sites, this will blow you away!

Sekto Springs · #38 02-08-2004, 03:27 AM

With TAoO and all coming--should I even put up an image gallery? Or should I just give a hyperlink?

***Xavier*** · #39 02-08-2004, 03:36 AM

just give an hyperlink...

and pray Alcar will come back soon
in fact TAoO will contain ALL the pictures I've got (Picture Request was only a glimpse)

Sekto Springs · #40 02-08-2004, 03:47 AM

That's one hell of alot of pictures to put on one server! Or is it to be hosted by multiple servers? Is that why you're waiting for Alcar?

***Xavier*** · #41 02-08-2004, 03:56 AM

Abe Babe made the design (It rocks!)
Alcar has to do all the code plus he's the Server Gourou
and I will Upload and class all the pictures

at least I think that's it

Sekto Springs · #42 02-08-2004, 04:18 AM

what i'm saying, Xav is that you had to put all your pictures on CDs because you dont have enough memory, how could you fit almost 3 CDs worth on one server?

***Xavier*** · #43 02-08-2004, 04:26 AM

hmmmm...my CD's aren't 100% full with pictures (7cd's now)... there are video, texts, flash, websites (that's right, I saved the VykkersLabs.com).
and if I can't put everything on I'm sure we will find some solution.

Sekto Springs · #44 02-08-2004, 04:30 AM

I know that not all your Cds are pics, that's why I said "3 Cds worth".

***Xavier*** · #45 02-08-2004, 04:32 AM

true... well Alcar was doing like there was no problem at all, so lets hope there wil be no problem at all

paramiteabe · #46 02-08-2004, 05:32 AM

You have the right picture SS of the shell man but your thumbnail is wrong. here is the picture I am talking about. He is green and you can't make out his face and he looks as if he is wearing sort of a red ribbon type of thing around his face. I dunno what the heck that red thing is. This is the guy I am talking about. This has to be the shell man. Look closely at my attachment and you will notice that the head of this green guy looks very closely like the head of the shell man only at a different angle and green. The shape is real close and I have no doubt it is shell man. I think Shell man is going to be in Stranger as one of the poachers and thats my own observation.

Whoa! That's weird. I thought cloning was...not allowed.

-oddguy

I would call this a special case.

Sekto Springs · #48 02-08-2004, 06:11 AM

Thats some large backpack or something. If you look you can see that the straps wrap around the guy below him and that it's being carried on his back, what i'm saying is that i dont think that's a creature, It's some thing that he carries on his back with red straps.

***Xavier*** · #49 02-08-2004, 06:47 AM

PA, I don't think that's a Shell-Creature... Even if his style and desing would fit in the whole new Stranger Game look

I still think that concept was for Munch's Oddysee, and was later scrapped. But who knows yet, it could be implemented as your suggesting PA in Stranger. We just have to wait and see.

***Xavier*** · #51 02-08-2004, 07:01 AM

hmmm the concept was spotted in the period when lots of reporters could go inside the studio and make reports, it was part of the promotion compain of MO... but I can't recall if MO was already done.

But by OWI, if something isn't used directly, it won't be trowed away. It will make it in a later game.

You do have a point. And I'll be glad to see hopefully a lot of the stuff left out of Munch Oddysee, in perhaps Munch's Exoddus, or later.

Khanzumer · #54 02-08-2004, 07:47 PM

I don't understand why OWI isn't using some of their older concepts, such as skeeters, meetles and octigi. Some of those old designs were very unique and would add more diversity to the characters we have seen in Stranger so far. Maybe because they want this game to be so seperate from the rest of the series... But I definitely think they should stick a huge gloktigi in a future game as a creature Abe is able to possess.

I think that they are still using them, but were created for a specific role in the Quintology, which would explain why they aren't there. Stranger's game wasn't originally planned, so they want to reserve the debut of these creatures for when they're needed (i.e. Munch's Exoddus). That's what I think, anyway.

Oddsville · #56 02-10-2004, 04:15 AM

Hey at school right now, but just went to the OWI site and they've put a new pic in place of the old one for the Stranger game link....not that big of news but just wanted something to do while I sit here...yep..*walks off*.

***Xavier*** · #57 02-10-2004, 05:51 AM

Thanx Oddsville...
hmmm it's less informative then the previous one:

paramiteabe · #58 02-10-2004, 06:03 AM

Mann I can't wait to see the gameplay of this game. We saw portions of it in X-Factor and they looked amazeing in detail. Odd knows what it looks like now. I am looking forward to playing in that lush envirorment depicted in the picture. I know its most likely a CG movie but I am pretty sure there will be gameplay in that area. As I drool thinking about the new Oddworld game!

Al the Vykker · #59 02-10-2004, 11:33 AM

Yeah I agree, I want to see some actual gameplay footage, and not that early test stuff. We allready have seen just how good the CGI FMV sequences were a year ago, I can only imagine how far they've come from that point.

Sekto Springs · #60 02-10-2004, 12:30 PM

yes, and imagine that it was only the incomplete rough spin!

The imagery is brilliant! Just imagine the results of the final spin! My mind can hardly comprehend it!
