I personally think Abe is getting too familiar. I think we need to add an extra arm onto him and change him to a nice pink colour. And he should speak with a Brummie accent.

I think Shrykull is a great name. Shriek-ull. It says it all really.

Yea, I also find Shrykull a wonderful name. I personally find it far, far more original than "Abe", if I may point out ;) Not calling Abe unoriginal, but just less original, measured against "Shrykull".

I pronounce it (Shra-ee)-kuhll, if that makes sense. Never said it Shriek-ull. A y for me is always an ai sound (a-ee), I guess. Go figure, I ran around for ages being called Py.


- TyA
(gasp. I just realised. My "rule" doesn't apply to TyA and Akrya... this calls for investigation... ;) )

Yeah, I used to say Shr'I'kull, but then I realised Shriek-ull would make much more sense.

The trouble is, we've never actually heard the name spoken in the game. Unless it was mentioned in the Abe's Exoddus movie.

No, I don't, although it certainly would be nice.

What I was saying is that since I don't have it, I can't be certain whether the Shrykull was mentioned in it.

You're very welcome, MunchOnThis. I just hate it when people just all of the sudden attack other people for no reason! The only reason he did that is because nobody will agree with him. I am awaiting the banning ceremony.

I think I know what MMA is doing. Since he knows he's gonna leave for double posting, insulting, and all of that other good stuff, he started to be horribly rude. He just wants to leave with "style." Although, I don't think it's working very well...

Style is driving a burning car off a bridge into a canyon/rive hundreds of feet below. Of course it can also extend to other ridiculous stunts that usualy involve death or extreme pain. He gave a bad name to style

:
Abe's Exoddus: the Movie was nominated for an Oscar in 1998 for "Short Animation". Unfortunately it did not win the award, but it did see Oddworld as the first video game to gain Oscar Nomination. An Oscar nomination required the movie to be shown in a cinema, therefore it was shown from October 27-29, 1998 in Los Angles. Just imagine seeing Oddworld on the big screen!
only a limitated number of tapes came out and it wasn't realy I movie like OWI wanted to do.
