Oddworld Questions & Answers IX

[Holy Sock]

Agh! Amazon EU S.a.r.L. lied and said they had 2 paperbacks available! Was supposed to come between 21-30 August and it's Not Yet Dispatched!

[Job McYossie]

What does UXB stand for?

[Manco]

UneXploded Bomb.

[Hobo]

Hey, I have a question! What are these 'Engines of Destruction' that I've read about?

[Xavier]

Where have you read about that?

[Scrabaniac]

Quick Question.. How come Oddworld & JAW gave away a signed poster on eBay.. But hasn't sorted the posters out for the contest winners? :S

[Nepsotic]

Wil gave me a free one at Play Expo. lololololololololol

[Crashpunk]

I got one when I visited JAW. However it's not signed.

I'm sure they'll give them away eventually.

Because the contest winners won a poster of the boxart, not the Jonny Eveson posters, and I haven't been able to sit down and actually design them yet, let alone get them printed and distributed.

Mine has official JAW-punched pinholes in the corners.

[Xavier]

I'd love to have one of those signed posters as well. I wonder if they will be made available to buy at some point.

[Crashpunk]

Oddworld merch is something we've all been wanting forever now. And Limited Edition signed posters would be a perfect thing to start selling.

[SIADmander]

I want some irl oddworld merchandise of in-game oddworld merchandise.

Scrab cakes would be an easy snatchup. I'd order 2, one to eat, and one to shelf.

Feel free to make your own.

[Nepsotic]

That looks rank.

That looks rank.

I actually made these for my girlfriend one time, I'd never eaten nor prepared crab meat so I wasn't sure what I was getting into.

They actually turned out okay though, better than expected atleast.

[Jordan]

I've literally just realised Scrab cakes are meant to be savoury.

It took me a long time too, they look so pastry-like.

[MeechMunchie]

I'd always imagined them as some kind of sickly meat French Fancie. Thick sugary icing with a core of gooey Scrab purée,* possibly with spongecake inbetween.

The idea always struck me as gross (as intended), but not totally outrageous. Back in þe day when meat was considered a luxury, it was very common to put it in puddings, candies and the like.

See: Sweetmeats, mince pies.

* which I imagine tastes somewhere between crabmeat, locusts and human flesh

Band Name of the Day: Spongecake Inbetween

This one doesn't have a recipe, but it's closer to what you were describing:

[MeechMunchie]

I'm not sure that one's even edible. It looks like plastic.

[Nepsotic]

It looks like a squeaky dog toy.

[Crashpunk]

Looks like a Haribo sweet.

[SIADmander]

Looks like a cheap fake-spilled-food thing from Spencer's.

[Scrabaniac]

Looks like a Haribo sweet.

Thats it. If Oddworld starts producing a type of Haribo-Mix, (scrab cakes, paramite pies, elum chubs, mudokon pops etc) I would love them forever... Not that i don't already..

[SoulStorm64]

If they ever print out a SoulStorm brew beta logo poster they can take my money.

What's next for oddworld? Any new games coming out anytime soon? I want to get immersed in the oddworld atmosphere again but nothing new coming out (for pc at least).

If you guys are going to start making a new game, you can use unreal engine 4, it looks absolutely fantastic and should help to make a great looking game relatively easily.

[Holy Sock]

New 'n' Tasty is coming out for PC at some point. If it does well they'll probably start working on the Exoddus remake.

[Nate]

And the PC version of Munch's Oddysee HD.... bwahahahaha! I can't say that with a straight face.
