  • WormNET is incredibly gay...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Nothing but uber 31337 ropers who do nothing but play the fucking game all day, and when they get bored, they go out and practice playing the rope over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Seriously, doesn't anybody get sick to fucking death of playing nothing but ninja rope games? "Hi, I have skill because I play the same type of game over and over again." It really gets to be boring when you're considered to be a n00b just because you can't fly across some big hill, get a crate, and drop some bazooka on your enemy (with only your rope) at the other side in less than 15 seconds.

Whatever happened to playing the game the way it was supposed to be played? Nobody is going to play Diablo and say, "You know what? Fuck items. This game is sooooo fucking easy that I'm going to play through it with only my starter items. Anything I find, I'll throw away in the trash. For that matter, I'll play a wizard and not use any books." Maybe it's just because it's a fairly old game (Worms Armeggadon), but it's like you have these 16-year-old kids who got the game when it first came out 3-4 years ago, and they've been playing it ever since, as if it's the only game in existance.

The chat room is just as horrible:

ubereleetdude: Shopper?
$%s@5S8&vV[ET]: Warmer?
joe: Anybody hosting?
punto: Se habla una gamera?
brad: Rope race?</div>
