Not four Globoxes?
I'll certainly be doing that too, I'll put it here in a bit.

HOLY SH!T YEEEESSSSS!
Sorry for my outburst, I just want to admit that the video is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen here.

That four Raymen thing is just so funny and a creative idea! I like it! I especially like how all of them appear at once after each and every one of them showing up and how there becomes more and more of them.

Here's another with 4 Globox's.
EDIT: Apparently there's no sound so I have to fix it

Here's the Globox one again, but with sound this time!
How many times have you run into one of those, Steo?

Mentions of Polokus's name? Well, it turns out that there are multiple mentions each time you unlock one of those Electoon path levels!
I've been thinking about what a dark game Origins really is. You've got this creator deity who's losing his mind, and so you have to offer him these little creatures, Electoons. To get these Electoons, you've got two options: rescue them from cages (fair enough), or buy them from this really shady trader (Ales), who pretends to be your friend but keeps making sinister remarks. To buy the Electoons, you need to trade in life force (Lums) – you get currency by killing (bubblizing) your enemies, and twice as much by killing them twice (popping the bubbles). And as if that's not enough, you get even more from death coins (I know they're called "Skull Coins" in English, but death coin sounds even more sinister).
It's all really really screwed up, when you think about it…

I was never aware of those mentions because the nymphs never say it the first time, you always have to walk away and back again a few times to make them mention Polokus.
I guess it really is strange and screwed up, but it still is a really amazing game either way.

Yeah. Of course, the Direct3D is also screwed up, in that it acts so funkily with those long sprites. Speaking of which, I've given it a try with D9VK plus the proprietary NVIDIA driver, and it's better than wined3d, but not as good as Gallium Nine – the sprites have lots of "holes" in them. Maybe I'll make some comparison screenshots soon…
EDIT: OK, the DX9VK screenshot seems not to have worked, so I might try again tomorrow…

So Ubisoft is giving away free copies of Origins for watching ≥30min of a Glackum speedrun ahead of E3 (10th June)
Heres some articles:
I love that Rayman Origins is still relevant nearly a decade later.
Pushing 40 Bit is even doing it right now at their game-of-the-month.
They have this funny nature documentary parody for Rayman

What?? It has not been nearly a decade! It's been, what, seven yea- jinkies, that is nearly a decade, isn't it?
Still, it hasn't been as long as it had been since Rayman 3 when Origins itself came out, and we were still holding a candle for the franchise here on RPC…

One way would be to play all sound through speakers, and record it back with a stereo microphone, while a guy with a blender is making fruit shakes in the next room.
