exactly why i mostly hear a bit of the music, then skip the stage to the juicy bits of plot. Also, yikes the guy posts fast.

EDIT: also, as I'm new, how do you make spoilers?

I found an interesting article on Rayman Origins from a week ago:

http://www.dealspwn.com/love-rayman-82754

The guy who wrote it clearly drew most of his information directly from RayWiki, which I thought was pretty funny.

(The evil teensie with the top hat was confirmed to be Mr. Dark on the website. Mr Dark is not dead, the Magician was Mr. Dark the whole time, he was just faking a friendship with rayman for 16 years to steal his tings, and recently, his lums, to gain energy for his weather-manipulating factory)

I will certainly try - though I think they're stored like this (as we saw in the daily bubble):

Heh, just like the first game :)

Well, we'll be able to construct some cool pictures with them - I love doing that with the Rayman 1 sprites :mrgreen:

[Are you sure about that? The script contains the line ‘I always wanted to be like Mr. Dark: mysterious, dark!...um, dark and mysterious..’, which I assumed would be spoken by the Magician, meaning that he is a Mr Dark admirer and imitator rather than Mr Dark himself (whom I supposed might show up later). I guess it’s possible that there’s a Mr Dark skin, and that the line might be spoken by the Bubble Dreamer when he sees it.]

There is actually a huge amount of dialogue in the script which revolves around The Reveal – [a certain character rants about order and reason while discussing his Lum-powered robots] – though none of it seems to be in the level itself. Maybe it’s been cut, or maybe it’s been relocated to some kind of final confrontation in the Land of the Livid Dead.

No-one can, I think something went wrong when they uploaded it. Hopefully they'll realise that something went wrong soon...

I watched the credits, and like the original game, Origins features only four voice actors.

Christina Batman, who has perhaps the coolest name ever, Lisa Jacobs, Doug Rand, who provided Mr Dark's sparse vocalisations in the original game, and Gabrielle Shrager, whom we all know is the game’s lead story designer.

Or it may be still "work in progress". On Facebook site of RO there is no informations about #18 Daily Bubble yet.

Or maybe it's because there's no DB #18. You may as well change the URL at the end to 19 and have the same result. It might be a placeholder of sorts because there is no DB yet.

If you go to the blog, they have a link to issue 18 that was posted today, complete with an image of what it should look like. So it does exist, they made the post...and then forgot to put the newspaper up....

No, the stuff you say, sergiomonty, is just awful. It's even worse than Rayman.x.Uglette. SERIOUSLY. Not shocking, more of "I'll screw what you know so you will be distasted". I seriously hope you are misinterpreting this. Even previous "fanon explanation" was better.

(Maybe the Bubble dreamers says that (I always wanted to be like Mr. Dark: mysterious, dark!...um, dark and mysterious..’) he usually talks weird and stupid things like that. The final boss is supposed to be Big Mama, I think we won't see Mr Dark during the rest of the game. Also, it's kind of weird that mr. Dark and the grannies are completely opposite poles and not related at all. Perhaps you're right, and we'll be able to play as the magician (maybe he's the last character to be unlocked).
Also, I read the names of the Teensies who wear as rayman and globox. One is called Teensie Ray, and is supposed to be president of the Rayman fanclub, and the other one is Globteen, a Teensie who cos-plays as Globox. (TVTropes). Also, I read about a robotic teensy, who the Bubble dreamer confuses with a Robo-Pirate
