Spags, Spade and Spadge all said it.

I like to think "Spags" is an affectionate pet name for you.

well i'm rather lazy and its less letters to type ;)

This is great news. Will see it on XBLA in the next two hours, right? :) j/k

Gosh, I doubt it.

Someone in the other thread about this mentioned that it might take a fortnight.

release worms now ffs, we dont want to wait another 3 weeks for a free xbla wednesday slot :mad:

I know its not team17s fault, but it sucks :(

MS know how much its wanted by xba customers, hopefully they will release it alongside another game if theres not a free wednesday soon(2moro lol)

Gosh, I doubt it.

Yes, I realize it will take awhile to release. I was just saying it jokingly.

well done ! i'm happy :)
maybe worms will be here next week ^^

Woo hoo its certified! Does that mean its an 18 with all those guns and violence?!?!

Well done team17. Cant wait.

Spags, Spade and Spadge all said it.

lol sorry Spadge, didnt mean to calll you a spade.
Doh, one of those days mate!!

I like to think the guys at team 17 have done a good job, and so wish you guys all the best (and hope you make a **** load of money in the process)...I for one will be throwing my microsoft points in your direction.

If anyone wants a game, my gamertag is Kung Fu Russ

Thats great news Spidger.

Really pleased for everyone at T17 & XBLA.

Well done Splodge.

I've not done much to be fair, apart from whinge & bleat at people :)

Beers are on me tonight!*

















*Offer only valid to those in the same area code

Way to go Spodge! ;)

Time to get really pumped!

Mabye, but the majority of the Team just sat down in front of a large screen all day, with very littlephysical activity whatsoever!
So don't think bad of yourself. Unless it's in your choice of career!

Oh, and way to go, Splapp!

Great to hear, Badge!!! Finally, we know we'll have a concrete date for Worms!!!! This is a big relief.

I guarantee that, short of a big disaster, I will buy this game. This really is the most I've looked forward to an Arcade release yet. I'm sure that I'll get killed more often than not online, but I still can't wait to play this again.

How soon will you guys at Team 17 be able to spill all of the beans about this game now that it is certified? Like the extra Marketplace content, price of the game, etc.

I'll bet you guys are even more relieved than us gamers.

Good news,
Thanks for the update spodge.

And there was much rejoicing. Yayyyyyyy!!!

Thanks for the good news, Sploop.:D

Hooray, good work Splurge

Thank God, I don't know how much longer I can wait. I better go run out and buy a Microsoft points card so I'll be ready. :D

Great news, hope it will be out next week though that might be a little too fast...

I really hope that Whirlms will be available soon on XBLA. Great news, Inspector Spadget. :)

Hey Spudge, since the game is certified now would you mind asking Microsoft to put a Worms section on their forums? As far as I know they will not add a forum without the developer asking for one.

this has to be the most anticipated xbla game ever

Hey Spudge, since the game is certified now would you mind asking Microsoft to put a Worms section on their forums?

Because where else could we discuss Worms?

Edit: "Spedge".

I've not done much to be fair, apart from whinge & bleat at people :)But that's the best part!

"Luther, what the heck is that supposed to be? I could dig out a worm from my backyard and it would look 100x more realistic than that piece of materialistic computerized model! Just for that, I'm cutting off your beer supply and making you work 26 hours a day! I'll keep whinging until I see you sweating polygons!"

good work Spacker

Considering that you only signed up to write that, go you (Y)!

Why'd you leave mine out?!:( :(


:D

DGood one sphincter! Seriously tho, well done to all involved. I've not been a true worms fan since the first incarnation due to friends having families and jobs etc, I sort of lost touch... Now this is on live (well almost!) and I have a decent set of contacts on live this should be great!

Bring on the wormfare! :-)

Must try harder than that.
is it wise to challenge them like that?

We will know when we have hurt Spocks feelings

is it wise to challenge them like that?

Sticks and stones etc.

Well done Spadge!
Whooops I killed the joke. I mean, it's not like it was dead already. :rolleyes: :p

Also why are we congratulating Spadge for making an announcement? :p

I did point that out. 5-6 people and the original code/art team of WOW made this happen (not to mention the legacy of 10+ years of Worming!)

Spadge, I know there's the 50mb limit on the game, but what kind of limit (if any) is there on additional download content?

To be fair to Martyn, he does take all the flak too. Plus he regularly lays his liver on the line to spread the word at conferences worldwide.

so he sits on these forums whinging(his words) and then occasionaly goes out and gets rat arsed at conferences.

Apart from the conferences bit he could be one of us lol

None that I'm aware of.

I visit the forums periodically, more so when certain projects are active and I'm monitoring interest and reaction. Conferences are part of what I do and most of my time at them is actually doing business development, whether you believe it or not.

Occasionally this gets misconstrued as alcohol abuse, but trust me, plenty of business actually gets done down the pub as opposed to intense board rooms - at least in the games industry that is.

Call a Spadge a Spade, that's what I say ;)

That explains a lot.
