I was introduced to Oddworld when I was thirteen years old. My favourite is New N Tasty! P.S, I wasn't really born in 1981, i was actually born in 2001. This is my Mum's account. Oh, god....where do I start? Okay. Here's my story: I first knew about Oddworld one day in early 2015, when my mother downloaded this game called "Oddworld New 'N' Tasty" for my two little brothers, named Shane and Tyler. (They are also Oddworld fans BTW even though one is 5 years old and the other is 3.) I was more interested in finding out how to get Garry's Mod for the PC. (I'm finally getting it for Christmas) but my passion for this game franchise did not start with Abe, no. It actually started with the Sligs. Well, back in my earlier years, I saw the sligs in a gmod youtube video titled "A Rabbid Underdog Story" when I was all like "Ugh, who the heck are those guys?" Little did I know i would see them again in 2015. And I thought "So THAT'S where these ugly green things came from!" And in one cutscene for this game, I saw him for the first time. When I first laid eyes on Abe, I was reminded of aliens. (no, not the amazing 80's sequel to Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic) just...basically any alien. He looked odd (GET IT?!) and i know people say he's hideous, but to me he looked beautiful and adorable. I could say I got interested. So one day, I decided to play it on our PS4. I actually took a liking to the game pretty fast. The story was captivating and inventive, the characters (well, not the Glukkons) were lovable, despite their...ugh...features and the cutscenes were AMAZING. One fond memory I recall was when I came across the wells to Paramonia and Scrabania. I decided to go to the latter first, It was a desert, with those....weird...red...things called "Scrabs". It was a long and painful journey, as I thought "How did Abe even get past this stuff?!" At the end, I was treated to my most favourite Oddworld moment ever so far: The temple cutscene. Ya see, it goes like thi... well, you'll just have to go to the page "Scrabanian Temple Cutscene" and see for yourself. I loved that bit, seeing Abe fearfully crossing the rope with his arms hanging out, seeing him whimper and gulp as he tried to get back on to the top of it but failing, I was on the edge of my seat, eyes fixed to the TV, heart beating rapidly. I felt this feeling in my gut the whole way through. From that day on, almost every time I went onto my Xbox One copy of NnT, I would watch the same part over and over and over again. And let me tell you, folks: It's still pretty intense and rewarding for me to see that cutscene. It took me months and months to complete the game and I had finally got the Good Ending (seeing Abe actually smile for once and Molluck getting what was coming to him was satysfying to no end.) I also tried to see If i could rescue all 299 Mudokons. In the end, I did! (hurrah for me!) And I got and completed the Alf's Escape DLC in October.

So that's the story of how I got my love for Oddworld. I'll never forget how I fell in love with Abe and his cute wee voice, I will never forget the way he goofily smiled at the end. Because he is forever etched in my mind, along with that one cutscene I explained earlier. I am so proud to be a member of the Oddworld Wiki. Hopefully one day, Riotpixels or OWI will create a render of Abe, clinging on to the rope, upside down with his ponytail dangling like a cord with that scared look on his face. Sorry, I just love that scene. Thank you so much, RadicalEdward2 and TigerXtreme for being so nice and helping me get a fresh start on the wiki! Stay Odd!
