Top wop, I'd wait 'till I see it before condemning it. Most reviews I've seen have been glowing and it is a spielberg movie. That alone warrants giving it a chance.

That was my first thought when I played worms 3d. The controls sucked, the weapons were boring, there was squat in the way of customization, and it had none of the appeal of the 2d games. But as far as this new one goes, don't knock it 'till you've tried it.

Looks like the demo I found is out-of-date, and not intended for release, but the new one comes out tomorrow. I guess I foolishly assumed fileplanet wouldn't freely distribute a leaked demo. Although it seems there's barely any difference between the old and the new, so it's alright.

If you've never heard of worms 3d, that's because it wasn't very good.

If you've never heard of worms 4, that's because it hasn't really been advertised at all. I only found out about it because I was cruising some site or other for trailers.

Looks like a simplified descent-ish game in which you may only play hoard. I see the engine supports water and reflections, though. And why do the pilots in the video refuse to slide, except when indoors? Although I do like how they called it an "innovative flight shooter".

Fairly simple. I google searched for catnip, found the chemical. A little reading and a couple searches later, I found the ants. After that, it doesn't take much creativity to figure out what happened.

Mystery solved. The chemical found to have the narcotic effect in catnip, nepetalactone, is also present in certain forms of small black ants. Both the plant and the animal use it as a protective measure against insects. A bird landed at an anthill and ate a few of the occupants. Then the bird flew ...

Yeah, the black texture areas are going to give you problems.

No, it'll complain in verify room, but once you attach the room to the mine (thereby making one of the faces in question a portal) the error should go away.

Of course, you could just skip that little spot of heartburn and put the extra face in after you attach the room.

Doesn't really matter. If you took that room with the two duplicate walls, attached it to the level, and then verified the mine, it would show no duplicate walls, because one of them would be a portal.
