I'm probably the only person on the forum to have played these games, but they are my childhood, and I have to admit that I even prefer them over any Rayman game. I just heard a new game is coming in 2012. So, here it comes:

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!

ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON 3D!!! :D

Thank you for your understanding.

J'adore Roller Coaster Tycoon! Back when I was six or seven, our family picked up the Roller Coaster Tycoon board game (which was my introduction to the series). Then a (sort of) friend of mine back in grade three (8 years old, 2003-2004) lent me Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, and I didn't even know it was a video game til then, I had a lot of fun. Then one time when I was extremely ill in grade 4, my cousin gave me Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 near the launch, and I played it night and day for like two years. Within that time I bought both the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs, and that just made it all the more awesome. Sometimes my friend and I still play on it, and we do utterly ridiculous things. Do the names "Jon Wardely" and "David Braben" mean anything to anyone? :hehe:

Same here. I once killed 900 guests at the same time. :P

My favourite game has got to be RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. I still play it daily.

I've played the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and one of its expansion packs for about a year, but quickly did I figure out about its sequel. RollerCoaster Tycoon2 and both of its expansion packs became part of my life. Hundreds of parks have I played through. I eventually was introduced to downloading fan-made rides and stalls. I still have a park which I am rather proud of. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, was for me, a bit disappointing.Like many other I couldn't get into it. After all those years of playing the original two games this one seemed too different from the other ones. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D is predicted to be based on RCT3, but is also said to have the ''touch of the original games.'' I seriously can't wait for the game. :D

Today our school made us paint houses for people with economical problems. We managed to paint about half of the house, and the guy who lived there said we made a mess and was upset because we didn't finish the job. Then he started screaming at us. HOW THE FUCK IS IT OUR FAULT?!?!?! IT'S ALL MY SCHOOL'S FAULT, GODAMMIT!!!!!!!
Also, I'm making pancakes!

Edit: get on youtube, enter SoldierKnowsBest's live stream on the iPhone 5. Half the people commenting on it are Israelis!!! Yep, Jews like apple. We're not as smart as people say.

From my experience, moderately wealthy people are much nicer than poor people.

Yes, that's the general feeling I have.

Today my gym teacher screamed at me because I was 'disrespectful' and did not listen. Am I supposed to listen to a fat man leaning backwards and doing absolutely nothing? I mean, the fact that he gets mad at people when they can't do 100 push-ups in a row is rather ironic. :?

Agreed with that; the lower class seems to have gotten to abusing the rights of the people who feel "sorry for them." Most of my lower class friends constantly seem to try to get me to feel bad for them, when most of them are as happy as clams. They do it just because they can get away with it.

And aren't Coldplay releasing another album? Called Milo The Xylyphone or something? x.x
I'm a big Coldplay fan (they're my second favourite, closely behind Muse), though I can't confirm that because I don't like to absorb all the details of something before it's released. I am very excited though, I hope they take me on another journey like they did when Viva La Vida and Death and All His Friends came out. I know a lot of people didn't like that album so much, but personally the album as a whole told me a story, whereas most of the other albums seemed like a collection of wonderful songs.

Heh. I never go to gym class. I do enough sport on my own, I don't need a balding fat man in his 50s to tell me what to do, how much and how. And are you serious about the 100 push-ups? If I'm not mistaken, that's considered excellent for an olympic champion! My brother's been doing push-ups regularly for a few years and he can only do about 60.

Edit: I've seen the new iPhone, and it sucks. Also, the stylization "iPhone" or "iPod" with a lowercase i and a capital P is starting to annoy me!

My high school gym teacher was doing exercises(?) with us only once. It looked somehow like:

... yeah.

I've never used to go to gym class either because of sick leave. It's good to have a doctor in family :mryellow: Altough, she yelled at me because of that.

You shitting me? It has dual A5 processors, that's almost three times faster and more efficient than the iPhone 4, making it one of the most efficient Smartphones on the market. I also don't see how it's "beginning" to annoy you, as it's been like this for nine years.

The Galaxy SII is still better in every way.

galaxy SII was banned here because it had copied the iPhone (even the cores and stuff) :confus:
