Want a soufflé? I love soufflés.

Then, I realise, it's because, for all the insanity, the members are quite cool.
Right then, 95 posts more, and my six month ambition to ascend to a guardian is complete.

95 posts more?

Aww, thanks Haruka! Onwards and upwards, next stop: Umber!
I think the transactions page is broken again: transactions.php

Oh, hello! I didn't know that existed. Now that's why there's a 'Reason' field... interesting.

Why is this list public and not personal? xD

Argh, I had gotten so used to you having the Skops avatar. This is going to throw me for a loop every time you post now.

'Tis the never ending climb to the esteemed Origins rank, though whether or not I'll make it there, remains to be seen.
However, I've had many a good discussion, and I genuinely do like it here, even with all the zaniness.

Judging by the cover boxart of Rayman 2, zany is the excellence of all true Raymanic nature!

Why broken? I can modify the number of Tings of anybody without changing the number I have. And who said it was me giving that rank to you?

you are right o great sacred replacement watch men of the book of knowing and a good one at that

Something I just realized after playing Power Stone 2 is that there is a French chef character in that game called Gourmand whose special attack is turning into a dragon and breathing fire. In Rayman Origins, there is a world called Gourmand Land which has Dragon Chefs that breathe fire. Hmm...

Well, Origins had a good lot of references to other games, it's entirely likely it wasn't a coincidence.

You can see it at various points in this video, first time at 1:03: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfX55Mio ... 8&index=11

Yep, it most definitely seems like the Dragon Chefs are a Power Stone 2 reference.

When RO was planned to be a prequel, Ubisoft intended to do references to other iconic video games.

Like this one, but sadly it was ultimately scrapped:

I am so upset they scrapped that. It would have been perfect.

Many got upset, because the Tetris remix was pretty cool.

I'm not upset, but it would have been nice.

What disappointed me was the lack of interactive humor like this. Unexpected things that simply happen and make you laugh. The random Tetris cameo was pure genius, and I wanted to see more jokes like that... but even the Tetris joke didn't make it into the game.

I wonder whether it was legal reasons which made them scrap this particular reference, the owners of Tetris IP are insanely "protective" of their rights. I guess that something like this happened to many of those references if they weren't scrapped early; this left the other ones out of place and so they were removed.

Actually there are still some references, but they're not that clear. There's a Pac-man reference in the Sea of Serendipity, an Angry Birds reference in Jibberish Jungle and a Breakout reference in Luscious Lakes.
