Believe it or otherwise, I was actually sucked into the vortex that is the Oddworld universe before ever playing one second of the game (Demos don't count). I simply came to the site and researched the world that Leorne and co. created...and I was totally blown away. The creatures, the locals, the rich sense of history. They didn't make a game, they created a whole world. I immediately connected with it (I was attracted to anything bizzare and out of the ordinary). A few years later, I actually hunted down and bought AO.
Since then, Oddworld has become my favorite game series, even eclipsing the long time runner Sonic.
