That rope strat PJ did was unbelievably swag.

vv See, this is the cool thing about Wind Waker. It has the appeal of the older 3d Zeldas, where it's broken as gently caress and you can fly around at ludicrous speeds, but it's also a modern and more "polished" game, so each bug has taken longer and longer to puzzle out and seems to meet resistance from the game itself. Watching the game slowly get shorter and more optimized is really quite something.

I guess that's one way to shut up the people who said that he'd been surpassed by other runners. He just needed to actually play the game.

Kotaku wrote an article about Cosmo breaking the WW WR again, but they linked his old run. Comments are about what you'd expect.

It's funny because he has an even newer route and the WR run had a bad ending anyway.

Aaaaaaaaaaand now I'm the proud owner of a copy of Worms Reloaded. I was initially bummed to see that it's $20 on steam but I found it on Amazon for $5 (Game of the Year edition, too!).

Is there any reason to buy a new worms game when Worms Armageddon exists and is still being maintained? Have they actually managed to release a better game yet?

I bought Worms Revolution in the steam sale and while I like the new physics and presentation of the single player, the AI is just as bullshit as it was in Armageddon and Reloaded. Every match just has them throwing grenades that take eight bounces and land right next to you, or shooting rockets that hit perfectly across the map. It's either that or taking shotgun shots at walls. Why can't they just make a good single-player experience??

I'd say Reloaded is the best one to get into today. It feels like a modern version of Armageddon, though I'm no Armageddon purist or anything.

If you're more interested in the higher competitive aspects of worms, probably not. Reloaded is pretty great in the "really dumb fun" department; that's what the PJ and friends crew really play it for. It's a great way to blow off steam when our respective games (or in my case, one game and After Effects/Premiere) are being "less than cooperative."

I think if PJ & co played Armageddon on a RubberWorm scheme they might erase WormNet from the Internet so it's probably for the best they stick to Reloaded.

Armageddon will always be the most customizable version of Worms since it's continually upgraded via WormKit, but it's all bolt-on to the ancient UI.

One or two of his friends were involved. I think 2dos was the name, or something like that.

If you tuned in late, you probably missed the ridiculous battle where he lost 3 continues to a team of confusion users.

Holy poo poo, Dice just broke the Dustforce WR by a full minute. Definitely a runner who deserves more attention.
Reminder that Denferok used to run Dustforce but decided it was too frustrating compared to IWBTG fangames. Seeing someone take this game down at all is impressive to me.
