Hi guize

[Vyrien]

Hello! I'm a disgusting lurker who's just this minute plucked up the courage to make her first post.

I'm 18, live in England, have been a big fan of Oddworld since Abe's Oddysee (which also happened to be the first game I ever played). I love all the games, even Munch but my favourite is probably Exoddus simply because it did so much right, as I'm sure many of you will attest to. The art book also deserves a special mention because of how wonderful it is.

I draw a lot of stuff, Oddworld and non-Oddworld related, which I can foresee myself posting in the fan corner if any of you are interested.

As for games, I'm very into the RTS genre right now so I'm pretty hyped for Hand of Odd, whenever it is released. My favourite games, Oddworld notwithstanding are: American McGee's Alice (the original), Serious Sam: The First/Second Encounter, Caesar 3, Shadow of the Colossus and Quake 3.

Thanks for reading. Hopefully I can be integrated without too much trouble.

How disgusting?

[Steamer_KING]

Oh WOF, you and your sexual innuendos.

Anyway, welcome aboard the forums, Vyrien. Enjoy the hellish ride.

[Vyrien]

I have prepared myself by reading all 90 something pages of Abe HD ideas and suggestions. My mind and body are ready.

[STM]

My mind and body are ready.

No, STM, no jokes.

Welcome to OWF. A fan of RTS eh? Gotta love AoE!

[Wings of Fire]

But I didn't say anything remotely sexual.

[STM]

Everyone just assumes the worst in you now WoF. =(

[Vyrien]

It's probably best to just always assume the worst, that way you can be pleasantly surprised when something different happens.

AoE is great but I played AoM more because my friend had it. Totally forgot about it until you reminded me though, thanks!

[STM]

Heh, I used to think like that. Then I had a mental breakdown.

I was never a big fan of AoM. I prefer DoW and AoE, my two favourite RTS series'.

[Wings of Fire]

AoM had a staggeringly better campaign though, and better balance all around.

I liked the way the different religions played in AoM, but it was too easy to spam military as the Norse. I liked that it wasn't rock-paper-scissors, but at the same time it would have benefited from that a little. All of the religions still had mele/ranged/horsemen and counters for each.

Hello. You have good taste in games. If you like Quake 3 you should really try Warsow.

Enjoy your stay. Don't try too hard and you'll be sure to find a place here.

Yeah, and my friend always cheated and spawned Nidhogg a million times, really irritating.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of Warsow before but from looking at screens I like what I see. Really like the cel-shaded style as well.

Welcome.

Except in norse vs norse battles which would always degrade to an orgy of throwing axemen.

[Phylum]

What about the Hersirs?

Warsow is a bit like CPMA but with the best bits of QW and Q3 thrown in. It's faster than Q3/QL by a long way, but doesn't feel as stressful as QW.

I like your way of thinking.

But I didn't say anything remotely sexual.

Yeah, sure. Keep telling that to yourself.

It's not really worth it. The suggestions are dumb and the people are idiots

[Dynamithix]

Hi.

[Vyrien]

I know, I became quite annoyed whilst reading it, then shared with with a friend who isn't even a hardcore Oddworld fan who became utterly enraged.

Nice of you to put down our community within your first day. It's not as if we can help being simpletons.

I get the credit! I said that first!

[OddjobAbe]

I get the credit! I said that first!

Your comment did not go unappreciated.

Sorry :s

I should hope so. Let this be a lesson.

[Varrok]

You got me worried for a while, OddjobAbe D:

[STM]

Give it a few hours and he'll have forgotten who you are, then you both get a fresh start.

[Mr. Bungle]

Fact: reading Oddworld discussion will not get you ready for anything.

[Phylum]

That thread is the most OT has spilled into OD since Sprout Gas.

I made a good picture for sprout gas

Oh god, do you mean this?

[Dixanadu]

Welcome anyway.
