The Oddworld Quiz

[Oddsville]

lol, ok Max Operation Lightninbolt. I forgot your earlier post when I was posting the answers. As for the offal thing, I always considered it poo. But, whatever it is its still disgusting.

[Oddsville]

Just thought Id bring this topic back to circulation before it went down the tubes. Max, you still gotta post the answers to your mini quiz, I can't wait any longer!!

[Wil]

Oh, all right.

1. How do Skeeters fly?
Primarily, using gasbag technology, much like the Meetles.

2. Name/identify four facilities/franchises we have heard of but have yet to see in the Oddworld games.
When I wrote this question, I had in mind the Industrial Tower, the Slig Birthing Complex, Nolybab and Mudos Arena. I was really talking about Industrial things, but I didn't consider a sports arena to be industrial. However, I will accept the Glukkon amusement parks, casinos and clubs, the Splinterz Tree Recyclers and the Slig guard towers (as seen in the Camera movement video).

I'm pretty sure I saw Alf's Rehab and Tea at the end of Abe's Exoddus, and I also remember seeing Native guard towers in MO.

Shall I accept the ruins of RuptureFarms? Er, yes, go on then.

3. What is 'Viewpoint Datalabs'?
Viewpoint Datalabs is the company that dealt with the character modeling in Abe's Oddysee. It is an Earth thing.

4. What is 'StoryDwelling Company'?
StoryDwelling Company is the company that allows the Glukkons to add moving images to information terminals and storystones. It is very much an Oddworld thing.

5. How does Splinterz harvest trees?
Mudokons, wearing fashionable hardhats, are sent out with chainsaws to cut down trees. They then take them either to Splinterz Manufacturing or a Splinterz Tree Recycler.

Yay! I got a few right!

Now I have my own quiz for you too try, it might be a little easy though...

1: What Is Digital Dialect? And what dis they do for Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus?

2: In the opening Munch's Oddysee movie, what kind of water was Munch swimming in?

3: What symbol/logo was used to represent the Slig Guard Towers, it is similar to the Sloghut logo/symbol, but not in design-wise.

4: In production designs of the Vykkers Labs what were the posts/docks (where the Blimps would dock) made to represent (an oddworld creature)?

5: Name all the Sligs/Vykkers that have differed from the normal occupation of that creature. I will except both types or the characters names.

Hope you like, and hopefully it isn't all THAT easy...

Alcar...

*Sigh* I must be getting rusty in my Oddworld Knowledge. *Tear falls from eye* Im not worthy of my title!

- 30 seconds later-

Ok, now for Alcars test! (Oh, and Max I was thinking Skrikits in question 1, and for the buildings I thought you where talking about ones whe've seen in the MO videos but wheren't really in the MO game.)

1: What Is Digital Dialect? And what dis they do for Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus?
I think that they help program the gamespeak for each game?

2: In the opening Munch's Oddysee movie, what kind of water was Munch swimming in?
Munch is swimming in the vast Ocean waters to the east of Mudos, the next day he makes it into the large and twisty turny river that cuts thourgh Mudos and that night he eventually goes ashore.

3: What symbol/logo was used to represent the Slig Guard Towers, it is similar to the Sloghut logo/symbol, but not in design-wise.
If your talking about the Bomb tower (and I think you are?) then the logo was a bomb on orangish, yellowish glass.

4: In production designs of the Vykkers Labs what were the posts/docks (where the Blimps would dock) made to represent (an oddworld creature)?
Hmmm, what where they made to represent? I seem to have forgoten, it looks alot like the Rasin (with the four eyes) but that can't be it? My guess would be a Vykker.

5: Name all the Sligs/Vykkers that have differed from the normal occupation of that creature. I will except both types or the characters names.
Well if I think I understand your question correctlly there are...
Headley- Headley is an exceptional Vykker. Trading in his surgical supplys for a monical, and auction block. Headley has auctioned off thousands of strange and near extinct creatures without any remorse...
Newscaster Slig- Very rebelious in nature the Newcaster Slig thought he had it made, untill that Mudokon terroist Abe shut down Soul Storm Brewery and ended his carrer (for the moment)
Valet Slig- First starting his career as they annoying game show host of "Name that Trauma". Once that was over he became a Slave trader, and after that he became Lulus own personal host.
Hmm, thats all I can remember right now.

Great quiz Alcar!

It is very much an Oddworld thing.

Oh, really? Whoops. I guess I goofed on that one. Sorry about that.

[scrabinator]

1. Something to do with the gameplay.

2. A lake.

3. It looks sort of like a raindrop.

4. Glukkons.

5. The only ones I can think of at the moment are Headley, Toast, Valet and Newscaster Slig but I have a feeling there's more.

I hope I did alright!

1: What Is Digital Dialect? And what dis they do for Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus?
They converted Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus from the PlayStation versions to the Windows versions.

2: In the opening Munch's Oddysee movie, what kind of water was Munch swimming in?
Salt water, indicated by its greeness. To be more precise, it was in the ocean to the Death of Mudos (using proper Oddworld compass points, of course). The Map of Oddworld Alf gave us would have us believe he then made his way up the delta of a meandering river, although this same map has many discrepancies that make us ponder its validity.

3: What symbol/logo was used to represent the Slig Guard Towers, it is similar to the Sloghut logo/symbol, but not in design-wise.
I think you're talking about the industrial building we saw in the Slig Toss video. In that case, the 'symbol' was a huge orange-yellow stained-glass window fashioned to resemble a bomb. The Slig Guard Towers have no symbol, and can only be seen in the Cmera Movement video.

4: In production designs of the Vykkers Labs what were the posts/docks (where the Blimps would dock) made to represent (an oddworld creature)?
Vykkers. They did in production design, and they still do. If earlier production design was different, I don't know about it.

5: Name all the Sligs/Vykkers that have differed from the normal occupation of that creature. I will except both types or the characters names.
The first Vykkers that springs to mind is Headley, the fancy-speaking sophisticated Vykkers who has left his career in science to execute more exotic and subtle pain on creatures by emptying their wallets.

On to Sligs, I assume you're taking the 'normal' Slig occupation to be security guards and soldiers. It may interest you to know that Sligs are also the secretaries, assistants, personal slaves, administrative staff, public relations and masters of ceremony for the Glukkon civilisation. However, taking the guard/soldier as typical:

There's Crig, once a columnist, now a Meep herder.
The Gameshow Host Slig who wears a dress and works on Name That Trauma.
The Newscaster Slig, who is a news anchor for the Magog On the March current events program.
The Operator Slig, scratcher of underarms and presser of buttons.
Skillya - well she's not a security guard, is she?
The Stock Broker Slig, temporarily replacing the Chroniclers hile Maggie remains in their bad books.
Toast, personal assistant/slave to Molluck.
And the Valet Slig - slave dealer, TV host, personal slave and stand-up comedian, though not all at once.

And lest we forget the Albino Slig Larva who needs to escape the Slig Birthing Complex to avoid being rejected by Skillya, although you could hardly call that an occupation.

In addition, there's the Sligs in the Sloghuts who, although armed, are employed to train the Slogs, and the Foster Sligs that look after newly hatched Mudokon labourers.

Then there's the Brewmaster's assistant.

And the Signaler Slig.

And Phleg's Pure Bone Brew PR Slig.

You probably get the picture.

I don't like to awnser the quizes... only look them and find new infos... sweet

[Oddsville]

Jeez Max! You make me look like the Oddworld Phamplet (please don't call me that)! It seems latley my Knowledge has been in a slump, but hopefully with time it will regain its status.

[Alcar]

1: What Is Digital Dialect? And what dis they do for Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus?
They converted both Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus over to the Windows/computer version.

2: In the opening Munch's Oddysee movie, what kind of water was Munch swimming in?
Fresh Water that's why it was green, I know this because I've read it through interviews with Lorne the man himself.

3: What symbol/logo was used to represent the Slig Guard Towers, it is similar to the Sloghut logo/symbol, but not in design-wise.
I was going for the stained glass thingy, so the answer was a bomb.

4: In production designs of the Vykkers Labs what were the posts/docks (where the Blimps would dock) made to represent (an oddworld creature)?
Vykkers. Simple as that.

5: Name all the Sligs/Vykkers that have differed from the normal occupation of that creature. I will except both types or the characters names.
Well, I really was only looking for the ones that we know so much about, so if you have these then you'll be fine: Headley, Toast, Gameshow host, Newscaster Slig, Crig, Valets, Brewmasters assistant. Most of the others that Max had said I would class them as Valets, but it seems that I missed some too!

Alcar...

Oops, I might a slight mistake there. Oh well.
