Hey, I'm Moot

[Moot]

I very rarely hop on forums and actually contribute, but the Soulstorm ARG has got me mighty intrigued! There's only one other major-ish forum I used, and I left it months ago due to drama. I wanna see if the Oddworld forums fits my fancy.

So I'm Moot, nice to meet you guys!

(Insert obligatory humorous waving .gif)

Edit: I'm bad at introductions.

Hey there, and welcome, fellow Ontariarian!

No relation to the creator of 4chan right

Hey, you're not Moot, you're great!

I get that a lot! Moot derives from Kalamoot. People referred to me as Moot instead, so I use the name whenever it's available, or I default to Kalamoot.

So the answer is, thankfully not!

[Varrok]

Welcome to the forums!

[Vlam]

Hello, Moot. What is your favorite Oddworld game?

[Moot]

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks!

Hello, Moot. What is your favorite Oddworld game?

By far Exoddus, it was the first one I played. Strangers Wrath is real good to me too. I'm currently playing Oddysee, but finding the dated mechanics to be a little frustrating (compared to Exoddus). I've been getting an itch to play Exoddus again recently!

[Varrok]

What about NnT?

[Crashpunk]

I'M NOT SO MOOT!
AND WE'RE THE MOOT GRUMPS!

Em. Sorry about that.

Welcome! It's nice to see an increase of new members. Hope you enjoy your stay!

[Xorlidyr]

I have rainbows packed for you.

[Moot]

I have rainbows packed for you.

I'm colorblind

Welcome! It's nice to see an increase of new members. Hope you enjoy your stay!

Thanks, me too!

What about NnT?

I'm yet to pick it up. I just really like the dark grimy style, and it looks a lot brighter! I'll have to try it out though.

[Xorlidyr]

Then let you just enjoy love here.
Kisses.

[Varrok]

I'm colorblind

Prove it!

Um. Don't get your hopes too high, if you like dark, grimy styles (I do, too!)

[Moot]

Yeah, from what I've seen it looks far brighter, and actually a little daunting considering my colorblindness. That is, from what I have seen, the mines are really difficult to spot!

Proof, what proof! I was stuck for a good 2 hours on Paramonian Temple in AO, because I had to dismantle three flashing mines in a row.. thankfully I just learned the sound pattern, and managed it (;

[Vlam]

It's almost impossible for me, without being visually impaired, to dismantle flashing mines in NnT.

[Varrok]

Proof, what proof!

I actually posted a link behind the "Prove it" text. If you didn't notice it because of the golden color... hey, you passed the test! I believe you now! You can click it anyway, thought!

I don't want to sound *too* negative about NnT, but you're gonna have even more problems with NnT mines

Edit: Vlam's right, the mines are broken in NnT

So... deuteranopia, right?

[Vlam]

Let's be positive about NnT: visually impaired or not, we're all in the same boat.

[Varrok]

Always an optimist

We can love a game and still criticize it! I love me some Drak Sools, but Dark Souls 2 wasn't anything compared to the first imo. Doesn't mean I hate, I just see its flaws.

And I noticed it was a link when I quoted you actually (I didn't realize it was a different color until right now, since you've mentioned it ;-; ), and the ad-campaign is interesting. But I could still barely see it said "Life", and had to look at the comments to see what it said.

That aside I believe I have Monochromacy. I originally took the test when I was very little (we believe it was red-green, since that was what my Grandfather had), and didn't get retested until only recently, and it seems that's what I have.

I have only played DS1 to the end, and DS1 is pretty much perfect. DS2 seems much easier and has heal items that are bonfire-independent, which sucks, it's like a step backwards to Demon's Souls.

Well, that's tough.

I just feel DS1 is intelligently difficult, while DS2 just used a lot of enemies, and unforeseeable traps to make it difficult. I still liked DS2, but I'm very excited for DS3 in hopes that it'll go back to its roots, in terms of difficulty.

And it could be worse, I could be blind! And besides it's not like I ever really notice colorblindness.. cept for those damn mines! ;-;

[Xorlidyr]

I just wanted to tell you that you perceive the world in a much more emotionally beautiful way.

[Varrok]

Have you done DS1 solo, or with help? I'm redoing my playthrough, now online, and coop makes this game a cakewalk

That's a good way of thinking about it, I suppose!

I've played it alone, I've played it in co-op, and have helped my friend play through it. But yeah, co-op really does help, especially if the person who's helping knows their way through. There's only one boss I need a partner for - the Four Kings ;-;

[Nepsotic]

Co-op makes DS much more fun imo
I'm planning on doing the Dark Souls 3 chicken wing challenge.

[Varrok]

Note: Nepsotic sucks at Dark Souls. Vyrien did all the work on his playthrough.

I just googled it, and jesus christ you need to wear gloves if you want to hold them! They're going in your mouth, what are gloves going to do!? lool

Edit: Recently I played through DS2 with my girlfriend, and she absolutely carried me through a good half of the game, because I was busy messing about.

[Nepsotic]

Idk, I'm just going to shove them in without thinking about it and try to finish all 20 before my mouth disintegrates.

I started out bad at DS1, but playing with Vyrien I got pretty good pretty fast. Varrok is the one who took 15 minutes to beat the Taurus Demon.

[Varrok]

Git gud nep

Welcome to OWF, home of that weird Abe picture Crash keeps posting that always makes me laugh anyway.

Enjoy yoursmellf.
