    So in 50-ish minutes, we find out what exactly that "something" is. 
     
    I'm just glad they're finally removing  that "New site coming soon" splash page. My only hope is that they're replacing it with a 1920x1200 image of Lorne Lanning's head. 
     
    What do you folks reckon it'll be? A full page ad for Stranger's Wrath HD, details on an all-new Oddworld project, a redesigned logo?

    Oh lord, 11 minutes to go. 
     
    Time to prepare myself for a disappointing Strangers Wrath appearance, or a fresh pair of pants and a new chair if somehow Oddysee 2.5D is announced.

    My timer went away too.  Maybe it was a legit website problem and they anticipated to have it fixed by now.  That would suck.

    The website was just huge "coming soon" picture prior to this, so putting a timer on a maintenance thingy and getting all our hopes up when it's just a problem with the website would be evil.

    And the website is up, with a blog post announcing something vague known as "oddmobb":

    With that in mind, we have currently been looking at social networks, games and online media in new and inovative ways. Our time over the last eight months Lorne has been focused on establishing a new company Oddmobb. This company will be focused on giving fans the ability to communicate and experience the web in an entirely new way. It will also power some of the new projects we will be building at Oddworld.

    Sign up to hear more about what is on the horizon and also have the chance to be a beta tester for Oddmobb.


     That's... interesting I suppose. But with the vagueness, it's hard to get excited about it.
     
    Although it does have a page for the OddBox (the PC ports of Munch's oddyssey and Stranger's Wrath, bundled together with Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus) which was announced for a 2009 release, and we've heard little about it since, so it's good to hear that they're still working on that (especially since I never got to play Munch or Stranger since I didn't own an original Xbox). So that's something, at least.

    @MattyFTM: Yeah, I'm pretty glad that thing still exists. I remember the disappointment when Munch's Oddysee went from PS2 exclusive to "on the  Xbox as well!" to Xbox exclusive. The pain of it all...
