:D
Been looking forward to this, hope it's retained its charm. :)

http://www.achieve360points.com/game/worms/ for the achievements.

Yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay \o/

This will definitely be the next game I buy from the arcade, it's going to kick ass over XBL, without a doubt :D

[Haly]

4 player Worms next week :D

[Daz]

Count me in :D:D

It's gonna be 1200 points though. Need to get some in!

[Haly]

Hmm have to see if I can find some crap to trade in and buy the points in Gamestation.
I wanted to keep my crap for Swansea's gamestation though :(
Yes I have store loyalty :p Although possibly not for the regular reasons ;D

[Davey_Pitch]

Yes I have store loyalty :p Although possibly not for the regular reasons ;D

I'm guessing there's a fit guy working there? :p

[Haly]

I'm guessing there's a fit guy working there? :p

2 :D
And a little un that flirts with me in a very nervy way who seemed keen when I mentioned I'd be in there all the time once I was back in Swansea ;D

Yeah I'm shallow :p

Seems to think it'll be 800 points rather than 1200, fingers crossed :D

[Daz]

Pleasantly surprised :) Especially with Lumines being 1200, and with Worms being the arguably bigger/better game/franchise.

Looks like there's less weapons than in other versions, so I'm wondering if it might be a mixture of a few worms games.

I'll still be getting it though. :)

[Daz]

Ditto, if these bloody ebay sellers would get back to me anyway.

[Davey_Pitch]

Bah, no Holy Hand Grenade, that was my favourite special :( Still, the game will surely rock regardless :D

[Daz]

Sheep was always my favourite :D For comedy value I always loved that old granny as well, though it wasn't very good so I'm not mourning it.

[Haly]

Wonder if this might be one of the most anticipated games to come out for the marketplace? Seems like it at least, although it might be equal with Street Fighter 2.

[Matblack]

Concrete Donkey!

[Daz]

Do we know if you can have 2 players in a Live match on one console? I know Dee will want to play this and it'd be good if we could both play on Live at the same time :)

[petemc]

So so so getting this. I bought the original on the Amiga as soon as it was out and loved the franchise. I loved their voices. Brummie worms!

[Haly]

It's Wormsday :D

[Daz]

Who's playing later then? :D

[Haly]

ME :D
Just downloading now. It's downloading pretty fast too.

[Davey_Pitch]

I'll play it tonight definitely, I'll be nipping home at lunch to download it, and if it comes down inside 30 mins I'll have a quick blast as well :)

[Haly]

Took me about 10 mins :D But it is early yet.
Just noticed my mate on my course (As in the one other guy on it) who didn't show up this morning so I got stuck on my own, has been playing Worms all morning.
I wonder why he didn't show ;D

[petemc]

Downloading too. I think I'll have to go to Game and buy a card for this.

[Haly]

My aim sucks so badly at the moment ;D
And I have a suspicious feeling I should be doing something productive, but ah well :p

[Daz]

How big is it Jen? Surely something ~50mb couldnt take that long to download?!

[Haly]

42mb. :)
It probably took less than 10mins, it was just an estimate because I was getting some food at the time.

[petemc]

Twas quick for me too. Had a quick blast and it brought back so many memories. Nades to the face, stupid jumps, the voices \o/ Got to the end of the game and we each had 1 worm left. So I'm in a tight spot and I use the jet pack. Up I go.... down I go... slid off the snowman and landed in the water! Noooo.

[Daz]

LOL, played :D

[leowyatt]

Cack need to buy some MS points, must....get....worms :D

[Davey_Pitch]

Downloaded, bought and played during 30 mins at home. A lot of the funny voices are gone (though may well be added with downloadable updates), but the charm of the game is still there. Won a quick game easily enough but had to leave before round 2 could start. I'll definitely be up for kicking some ass tonight :D

[Haly]

I noticed it's got an option for downloadable content so be interesting to see what comes out.
I don't really mind if there's a lot of it if it's good stuff. :)

I'll be about tonight for a game. :D

[Daz]

Did you guys know that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original arcade version) should be out this month? :D

http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/2007/03/06/542216.aspx

Loved the arcade game, this has online co-op - Bargain at 400 points.

[Haly]

Yup, read about it the other day. Not sure why I didn't post about it.

Should be good fun :D

[Dee]

So what time are you playing? Daz is itching to get his ass kicked ;D

[Haly]

I'm waiting for food to cook so probably be about after about 8.45ish, then about for most of the night :)

[Haly]

I'm about now but no one on my friends list is playing worms now, damn you all :p

[leowyatt]

Sorry Jen but I don't actually own it :(

[Daz]

I'm waiting for Ugly Betty to finish :D

[Haly]

Cool :) I'm just sorting out my NBA achievement and another guy with his. Then I'll be about.

[Davey_Pitch]

I'll be about soon, just watching the end of the AC Milan - Celtic match.

[Haly]

I'm about whenever now :)
And I found my headset :D

[Haly]

Anyone up for this tonight?

[Daz]

I am, we need to set a time though so it actually happens. 8pm?

[Haly]

8's good with me :)
Going to have to vanish at 9 for an hour though.

[Daz]

Has anyone reached the last challenge yet? Finding it really hard, think I'm going to have to try and win it in Sudden Death.

[Haly]

I got stuck on 11 and not played it in a few days. Noticed you playing it all night last night though :D I thought I'd play some quick games just to regain my ability to aim before trying the challenges again.

[Daz]

13 is a hurdle, look forward to that :D

[Haly]

Oh dear ;D

[Daz]

DLC announced:

http://news.mygamercard.net/2007/04/16/worms-content-announced/

Lots of free stuff, and can I just say - ANGRY SCOTS AND SCOUSER VOICE PACKS :D

[petemc]

Scouse worms! Ar eh mate :D

[Haly]

Excellent news :D

[Daz]

It would have helped push me over the 20,000 point damage limit - if it hadn't been reached for me the other week by some surprise guests :D

SCOUSER! :D

[leowyatt]

Well we now have 2100 MS points, well ok we don't as we just bought worms but if you guys fancy us 2 joining in that would be awesome :)

[Haly]

I should be about a bit :)
Not sure when as I keep being knackered in the evenings but send me an invite or something. :)

[Daz]

Random bump to say there's an update coming out very shortly. Some bug fixes, some balance 'fixes', and groundwork for DLC:

[Haly]

Cool :) Glad to hear the ai will make decisions faster.
I've still got to complete all the challenges sometime.
