Nate interviews Lorne Lanning
Earlier this year, my fellow administrator of the Oddworld Forums, Nate, was travelling through California and had the great fortune to be able to meet up with Oddworld creator Lorne Lanning and ask him several questions, including several suggested by members of the Forums.
Nate has teamed up with OddBlog and allowed us to publish his transcript of the interview. The entire article is several pages long, and so we have elected to divide it into eight segments, to be published every Friday over the next two months. Part 1: Citizen Siege and current projects is online now. A full listing of the upcoming segments is available on the Oddworld Forums.
Lorne talks E3 with IGN
Episode 13 in IGN Insider’s To Catch an Editor video podcast features Lorne Lanning talking to Michael Thomsen and Dave Clayman for 90 minutes about E3 and other game conventions, game pre-release visibility and funding, retail and Steam, merging interactive and linear technology, voice acting in games, the gaming press, and democracy in corporate media. In fact, the interview is so long that it only ends when it does because the interviewers ran out of space on their hard drive to record the audio. Lorne offers anecdotes about his experiences with Oddworld at E3, and even brings up Penny Arcade’s Oddworld comics.

The Oddworld Cinema on YouTube
The Oddworld Cinema, the Library’s repository of freely downloadable Oddworld videos, has opened a new branch on the epic video sharing website YouTube. This new channel will allow some of our videos to be streamed, a service the Cinema doesn’t currently offer. Due to copyright restrictions, not all of our videos can be uploaded to YouTube, but everything we have will remain in the Cinema for download.
