    Oh man. Used to love the Rayman games so much. Played the 2nd alot, and Rayman 3 even more. Sad to see how the series totally fell of with Raving Rabbids, I have no idea why'd they do that with such a great platforming series.

    you can do all this? piece of s--- i hate you. not really im just mad i can't do half this s---. But then again game developer hierarchy is a bit different and is shifting to a better direction imo. I could become a vital asset to a game's development purely from painting textures and nothing else. but still want to know everything about 1 aspect, while still knowing a bit about the other aspects.

    Yeah the rabbid games are terrible, i might give them another shot when they bring out that mario/rabbid crossover game thats coming though, just cos nintendo

    The rayman legends and rayman origins games were pretty neat though 2 and 3 will always be my favourite

    Yes, for I am the great autismo
    Es gud to know lots of s--- for game stuff if that's something ur gonna do. More skills to offer is always a +, not to mention it's just cool as s--- to be able to say you can do not just x, but y and z as well

    Did you ever play this game? I remember having my friends give this game to me on a floppy disk so that I could play this at home. :')
    God I loved this game. Probably the only Zelda game which I loved.

    To answer OP, I reckon the Crash Bandicoot series was one of the most important gaming series that shaped my childhood and family. Oh and Pokemon of course. :wow5:

    it was held at lambeau field in the atrium. here's how it worked: you had to pay a small fee to play in the tourney, but it was only like 10 bucks to get in. there were about 500 people who played in it that day and only 1 person could win.

    basically, they had all these ps2 stations set up throughout the atrium. some ppl had to wait to play, but the wait wasn't too long. it was single elimination and the quarters were only 3 minutes long because there were so many people playing. now i went to this event just because i like to play the game and i love to compete. winning the tourney never even crossed my mind.

    i used the vikings every game and eventually i got down to the last handful of people in the tournament. at the time, i didn't have a car, so i rode with my friend (who also played in it) up to the tourney. my friend got eliminated very early in the tourney, so he had to sit and watch me play for a looooong time, but he didn't mind because i was winning. this tourney started early in the morning, and we didn't start driving back to milwaukee until about 7 or 8pm that night. we were there all day. i beat about 12 or 13 opponents in a row to win the tourney. and when i won, i didn't show much emotion, so people thought something was wrong with me lol. i'm a very stoic person

    basically, 1 person won from each city. there were a total of 30 winners. 1 from each city. and all of these people (including me) won a FREE 3 day trip to las vegas to compete for 50 grand. now of course i didn't win the 50 grand, but just making it there was impressive--because only 30 people made it that far and LOTS of people tried

    i got eliminated right away--in the first round :emoji_slight_frown: and it was to a guy i had played before (online)

    but its all good--i enjoyed the experience and the 30 people who competed for the 50 grand got a lot of neat free stuff throughout the weekend---one of those things was that 100 dollar debit card i posted.

    plus, all 30 of the people who won in their respective city got to bring a guest--my mom went with me lol---i was only 17 or 18 at the time
