Yep, well done REGNARTS. I've updated OddBlog, and uploaded a larger scan onto OddBlog. In the meantime, I'll move the topic to General Discussion: this is something EA want everyone to see.

Woobles, I updated OddBlog for the first time in yonks.

Ah sheesh, you are right: the link in my signature does still lead to the old URL. I remember I had changed it, though, so what more than likely happened is that I exceeded the maxinum number of characters in my sig, and it wouldn't change. Many thanks for pointing it out, though, I'll see if it'll alter now.

In the ad, notice that the armoured character doesn't seem to be one of the four species/breeds represented on the GDC Outlaw cards, but a fifth type, like the one Esus posted in another topic.

Breed eh? this could be interesing, and confonfusing. I thought about diffrent breeds on oddworld, it could acually be true. Remember OWI said there will be more Outlaw cards coming soon.

One of those images seem to be snowie.

I wonder why the link doesn't work...
this ad makes me think of the "forbidden pic".

OWI only said they might do some, the didn't say they would do it for sure

Indeed; he has the same hooves, a hunched back, same shaped horns on his head and eyes in the same place.
By the way, you mistyped the url for the link to the ad on oddblog. it should be 'stranger' not 'strang' in the file path.

You're right, Esus. I spotted it a second ago thanks to oddguy; I'm correcting it right now, should Blogger ever choose to respond. In the meantime, you can see the larger scan here.

The forbidden pic... I guess it doesn't matter, as we have a picture of superior quality now which has been posted in the public domain. I suggest not posting the ‘original‘ just in case.

the hick talk is a bit annoying, but I think it doesn't realy matter, OWI is just having some fun

I simply hope it won't be massivly used in the advertising campaign

Blogger has actually died on me, lol. If anyone asks you about the broken link, I'm sure you can direct them to the right place until Google fix up their service (apparently Blogger's been failing quite a bit recently). I'll try again later.

Oh yeah, and you'll probably notice OddBlog…s missing its background and the URL all look horrible and underlined. This is what happens when you fiddle about with CSS and stylesheets with little time to correct your mistakes. It doesn't affect our news-reporting, though, so stay tuned.

Why is the forbidden pic is still forbidden? It's the same, almost.

I'm confused. Are you saying that the forbidden pic is similar to the one in the ad or similar to something else entirely?

Sorry if this was mentioned somewhere else already (I try to avoid the spoilers forum), but is that supposed to be a different breed of slog with horns and a hoop through its back (presumably for a leash?) in the front?

Also, the art department cheated a bit by having some of the clusters of enemies repeat themselves in the front line

You can't expect them to draw 1000 original characters.

I mean who (obsessives like ourselves excluded) is going to look that close at an advert?
