The Oddworld Forums were down for a while today, while Abe Babe updated vBulletin to 2·3·3, the latest version.

I found a thread in the Xbox Solution Gaming Forums about Oddworld 4—​or rather, as some people still believe it’s going to be called, Oddworld: Steef’s Oddysee, which will feature a main character called Steef and be part of the Quintology. If anyone’s a member, would you please set things straight?

However, the most incredible and important news of the day must surely be that of the earthquake that struck California today. It measured 6·5 on the Richter scale, and affected the area between San Francisco and Los Angeles—​which includes the county and town of San Louis Obispo, home of Oddworld Studios. The epicentre was not far from Passo Robles, which was the worst‐affected town, and is where the only two deaths caused by the quake are. Let’s hope Oddworld’s century old housing above Ross Dress For Less is intact, and that everyone from OWI, San Louis Obispo, and California is as alright as circumstances allow.
