Oddworld News Chunks

I'm going to dump here Oddworld related articles I come across but that don't necessarily require a thread on their own .

Feel free to post some yourself, if the discussion grows large I can always split the thread.

Let's get this started. Here are a couple of entries:

I know this might be a stupid thing to mention, but I "like" pages such as The LAD Bible and Uni Lad of Facebook, which are both extremely popular in the UK and have a combined viewership of nearly 5 million people. One recently shared a photo of the Oddysee box art once and it massed thousands upon thousands of likes with people reminiscing about "the funny noises" and "how scary it was" and yesterday the other shared a video of the Playstation boot up sequence, and one of the top comments was someone who had posted the "Now loading so get over it!" screen from Oddysee, which set of the reminiscing again.

But on both of these instances no-one seemed to be aware of a remake being made, there was no mention of it any of the comments, so I was thinking, would it be worth JAW contacting these pages and saying "Look what's going on". These pages are full of people who, like myself, were playing Abe then and are still avid gamers now, I'm sure they'd jump for joy if they knew they could play that random scary game again. Or JAW might rather stick to the legitimate gaming sites for publicity, which probably fit the demographic more.
