As far as I remember Rayman 1 and 2 were very popular in Poland (maybe it's because they're colourful and ashdglfahsdf? ... or maybe Rayman reminds allitle of moomins - that shit was riddiculously popular back then... dunno). Same for Neverhood/Skullmonkeys :T

Good times, yo. Good times.

BRILLIANT OBSERVATION!!! QUOTE OF THE CENTURY!!!

I'm surprised by how many Poles and Dutchmen there are here. I think they make the majority after Frenchies and Brits.

Europeans seem to be the majority of the fanbase.

Are we supposed to be proud now? I think so. :proud:

But it is a lie that the Rayman fanbase is missing. Rayman Pirate-Community keeps alive and active since it was founded. Even during the peak of the Rabbids, the forum still rolled on.
Yeah, you're right, rayman fans aren't missing at all, the reviewers just didn't search enough to find this website, lol. We just stopped our "activity" because rayman became inactive (stupid rabbids). I'm pretty sure that rayman fans appeared immediately when origins was announced, and the fanbase seriously grew up A LOT, for two reasons:

*The rabbids. People who love party games and wii, loved the rabbids. Some of them had some interest in rayman and then started playing the franchise. I was one of them.

*The art style of Origins: Cartoony, fantastic, fastpaced and colorful, with amazing music. It's just an addictive game, you don't have to know the story of this guy to get excited with this game.

So yeah, a lot of people are saying on youtube or ign "this is my very first rayman game, and I'm excited"

Just like how yesterday I heard my first Led Zeppelin song and got excited. God, it's a good band.

Ah, yes. The Moomins. They are my childhood. They're so popular in Israel that if an Israeli doesn't know what they are, he's considered a freak and is sacrificed to the mighty Jehova... yes, we do that. :mefiant:

Trolls? XD Wow, never would have thought that.

No, I didn't read the books, and the show wasn't on alot here so I didn't think about it much. (or even realized there were books of it)

I would imagine that your condition must have coloured your experiences, regardless of whether you were aware of it.

At least you guys had someone to talk about Rayman with, beside my family, I was never able to talk to others about Rayman until high school. when I finally met some other dudes who were into retro games as well, then, we would talk about games, though we being who we were often ended up talking about PC's and such as well.

Indeed I did, now I demand PAYMENT :D
Not really, hopefully it will increase awareness though.

My point is that asking a transsexual what it’s like to attend an all-boys school is very likely to get you an unusual and unrepresentative answer.

I try not to let that happen, and I apologize if it comes across as so, but only about 1/3 of my post could have been affected by it. The rest was just my rational opinion on the idea. My main point was that mono-ed is a system originally created based off religious beliefs, and parents bring their kids to them usually for the reason of getting them to focus on their academics, often ignorant of the other consequences.

But how didn't she know she was a trans when in high school?
