I had seen AO around and it looked interesting but I didn't buy it because I thought I wouldn't like it (back in those days I was pretty much only playing lucasarts adventure games). Then I saw it as a platinum edition cheapie so I decided to get it anyway and fell in love straight away.
Not long after I was in a game store thinking that I should check for the next game in the quintology, not really expecting anything new yet, when I saw AO looking extremely funky in its bright orange box. And that game was even better in many respects.
I visited ow.com a few times but I wouldn't say that I became a real fan* until the lead-up to MO. I think I tuned in not long before they switched to the xbox.
*fan here defined as someone who cares about the company and takes an interest in the greater mythos and ethos of Oddworld.
