Vote for Oddworld Stranger's Wrath!

Howdy! Will you strangers show EA what stranger game you are hoping for at their US site? Not telling you to vote any stranger than you normally would or to feel stranger about it or anything stranger like that, but if you are feeling stranger and would like to support something stranger, then head on over there and vote for whatever you think might be stranger!

Already voted for! Consider it reported on OddBlog, too. And hey, I might as well get onto spreading the word to other places of interest... GameFAQs, the Exoddus Club - it's all good.

Ouch. Looks like Need for Speed has quite a head start.

Don't forget the ea uk site. We've dropped to 28%! www.eagames.co.uk

On UK EA site: 28% - Second
And on French EA site: 8% - Tied last with Timesplitters

Eeeeek! Stranger's Wrath IS being pulverised. Poor thing... I've voted as many times as I can, on as many computers as I can so far.

Thankyou for the heads up Alf

Thanks for your support! I know the numbers are low, but this is just for the pre-order, so the fact that we're on the list with these other titles is cool in and of itself. Keep up the great work! Thanks for posting on some othe big fan sites, Max! I believe that the voices of the fan community speak louder than any marketing campaign, so keep spreading the word! Spread it like jam baby! Ya! Mmmmm.... jam....... stepping out for some breakfast... see ya!~

Same here, and on top of that, they take ages to load. Whether its their server, or my computer taking an incredibly long time to load javascript files, etc, I'm not sure.

Either way, I've discovered I can't vote the way I used to on the EA UK website, by omitting the 'www', counting as a seperate domain, ang thus a seperate cookie. Damn EA, they have everything covered.

Entirely my belief, Necrum Miner. I guess there's nothing can be done to save the souls of the cultish (which is what we are, according to Computer and Video Games, hehehe).

Consider my vote added for Stranger

Seriously though, the way the poll is made for Stranger doesn't give it good chances. It asks "What game do you want for the holidays?"
The Stranger option reads "Pre-Ordered Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath."

What kind of kid wants to open up a gift on Christmas and see a note saying "I got you an Oddworld game that you'll have to play with after Christmas"?
I wager "What the hell?!" or another expletive replacing the "h" word would be the gift receivers response.

Needless to say I of course voted for Stranger, and Oddguy has got a point. Sure I would like a pre-order but thats only because I spent all of my extra money on high quality printing paper for the Unoffical Oddowrld magizine (you know the kind that the make most magizines out of) and couldn't afford it right off the bat after also buying a LE. That would a good Christmas present for my but thats only because I have been an Oddworld fan since 1996 and have to have everything envolved with Oddworld, but no adverage Joe is going to want a pre-ordered game for Christmas

SW is still in the same palce in the french one, but in the USA he's 2% which is better than LOTR 1%

And I had another chance to vote.
