I've been waiting for this.

To be honest, Necrum Mines is probably my favourite area of the current Oddworld line of games. I don't know quite what it is, whether its purely nostalgia from playing the demo a ton as a child or whether it's the sheer blue cavey atmosphere this place has, I always have time for a run through this place.

I can't remember if Metroixer bought it up in the first video or not but Exoddus is FAR more forgiving in the secrets area than Oddysee ever was. I still can't believe they did that one thing in the Scrabanian temple with the whole slowly rising Scrab rope lift platform thing.

Anyways, I won't go in to any more detail about it, because it'll be interesting to see who picks up on it.

I don't know what to say. Necrum Mines just feels like video game home. They are some cool places later on in the game but I hate the next area and aren't too fond of the last area.

Where did the jungle come from?
If I were to guess, the other side of the mines?

I agree its sort of weird the game starts in a desert, enters a burial site/mine and shoots you out into a jungle. The only other guess I could have is that the forest is on top of the mines? There is a screen or two in one of the next areas that looks sort of similar to the mines.

this also applies to Angry Mudokens, hit one, and he lashes out, and if he hits another guy, he'll lash out, and it will carry on until one of them dies.

Then he turns Depressed, and the cycle continues. :v:
This may be something to keep in mind. Anyways, screw fleeches. Pretty much the only part of the game I don't like.

I'd rather have one big video as well, but can respect keeping it as two videos to keep it similar to the first vault.

Yeah, the vault trial music is probably my favourite track in the game, though there is some nice stuff in the second disc as well.

So the LP may be dead, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to put this.

Oddworld Industries were happy enough with New 'n' Tasty's sales that they are planning to start working on Abe's Exoddus HD soon.
