Rayman Pirate-Community

When you go to an unhabited island and reminds you of the inflatable desert island from Rayman Legends or even Rayman 2's Alternative Ending.

Ugh, I don't like deserted islands since I met Rayman 2's Alternative Ending on Internet.

When you paint a child's face at a fair and you just painted its face to look like the Teensies' instead of what the child wanted.

When you get Raymans haircut to fly like him.

When you shave your all of your hair of to copy Globox.

When you paint your lips green every day to look like Ly.

When you paint almost your whole body in blue with darker spots to look like Globox.

When someone asks you what is your favorite series and you will answer that your favorite series is Rayman: The Animated Series or the untitled Rayman-inspired animated series, depending on the opinion you have between the two mentioned series.

It has happened to me when I was talking with an American redhead in a English class when I said that my actual favourite series is Rayman: The Animated Series, while many of my classmates' favourite series are simply live action series such as Stranger Things, Money Heist...

When you join CoD lobbies and tell all the 12 year olds to go play rayman

When you have had a runny nose and annoying cough for 3 weeks and Rayman has nothing to do with it.

...when you draw your own custom cover art on the back of your copy of Rayman for the Gameboy Color, only for it to get mostly scratched off because of how often you play it.

That's beautiful! Do you remember the year you painted that?

That's really an amazing story and I agree with Dave - it looks beautiful! You should totally restore it.

Here's my case:

When as a kid in the nineties you write a comprehensive guide in poor English for Rayman 1 PC, because none is available online. And then you publish it "as is" 15 years later when it is hopelessly outdated and no one needs it anymore.

That’s very creative! I can’t believe I never thought of doing that

Thus, some characters and items may not be named according to the Rayman canon, as this canon was not yet established at the time this guide was compiled.

Some might argue that it still hasn't been established…

I love it!
That actually reminds me how I used to add extra pages to my Thomas the Tank Engine books (or did once anyway)

Wait you were a kid when you wrote it? I always imagined you being in your 20s at the time of writing

Well, if that reads like the writing of someone in their twenties, then I guess I wasn't so bad?

I think it was more that you stated you started your collection in the mid 90s and played stuff like DOOM made me assume you were born in 1978 or earlier

Back in those kids started playing Doom younger.

What am I talking about? My son got his first taste of Doom when he was 5 or 6.

You raised him correctly

Sometime in the early to mid 2000s, I think
