4.5.5 The Worm

[Ophelia Gurin]

HistoricallyWorms has been extremely easy to pick up but difficult to master, and the tradition is kept very much alive in this iteration. Your chosen worm will sluggishly scoot along the ground when you use the left stick, whereas the right stick will slide the camera about the stage. Pressing square will cause your worm to perform a small leap, and double pressing the same button executes a back flip with added height in order to better negotiate the randomly generated landscapes. Selecting a weapon from the menu with the circle button is easy and slick, but aiming and firing (with the X button) is still a true test of skill and experience with these games.

Team17 also has a history of making games that are just fun to listen to, and Worms Battlegrounds is among the best. The weapons and explosions all sound appropriately voluminous and crunchy, and the large set of Worm voiceovers are all hilarious (my favorite voice set so far is the Commercial set, where the Worms advertise and brag about their skills in the same vain as any radio or TV advertisement) in their execution. During the short single-player campaign, the tale is advised and narrated by a woman named Tara Pinkle, whose care-free delivery fits right in with the games vibe.

It is almost as if the series is impervious to failure, as each installment enhances or changes the experience just enough to keep the series moving forward. The inclusion of a short campaign serves as a tool to familiarize yourself with the workings of various weapons and equipment, cleverly disguised by providing a narrative by Tara Pinkle, who seeks your expertise to secure a sacred Stone Carrot from The Museum.

In addition to the expected Deathmatch mode, they have brought Forts along for the ride as well, so each team can hammer at one another until their base is nothing more than a peg in the middle of puddle of water.

The larger ribbon tail worm has replaced this model for many applications, but it is still a great lure for catching spotted bass. Try this style of worm when bass are holding over the top of submerged weeds or rock ledges. If bass are ignoring your 8- or 10-inch ribbon tail worm, scale down to the sickle tail worm as a finesse presentation to trigger more bites.Pick a 4- to 6-inch curly tail soft plastic worm and match it with a 1/8- or 1/4-ounce jighead with a weedguard. Swim the worm on 6- or 8-pound line over the top of moss from the shoreline to 15 feet deep. Let the worm skim over the top of the grass beds or barely reel it to let the worm kind of swim and dart up and down over the grass.

I love the idea of the book, but unfortunately, there is not much of a content for this book. No storyline, no suspense, no surprising twist, no cute texts or interesting illustrations. The contents are pretty average. We read about the worms came out to play in snowy days, hiding in pipes, in an egg and in a slice of cake. It would have been a cleverer book if the finger worms can participate in some exciting worm adventure.

Neovela Flea and Worming Treatment for DogsNeovela is a convenient, monthly spot-on treatment for dogs and puppies. Neovela is used for the treatment and prevention of fleas, flea eggs, flea larvae, ear mites, biting lice, sucking lice, and heartworms. It also controls flea allergy dermatitis in dogs and puppies. Moreover, it is a waterproof treatment, so there are no chances of the solution being washed off if your pup comes in contact with water. Neovela is suitable for dogs and puppies 6 weeks of age and older, as well as breeding, lactating and pregnant dogs.

Neovela is a topical flea and heartworm treatment for dogs and puppies. When you apply it on your dog, the selamectin present in it penetrates their skin and enters the bloodstream. Selamectin present in the bloodstream and tissues prevents heartworms. Selamectin that gets distributed into the skin from the bloodstream kills fleas, flea eggs, flea larvae, and other external dog parasites.

However, if we need to arrange for special shipments for some regions which are not covered by our courier partners, in such cases, the charges will be levied depending on the weight of the product and the zone defined by postal partners.

A meteorite carrying alien organisms lands in the New Mexico desert and the alien creatures begin to multiply and evolve at an alarmingly fast rate, threatening to take over the Earth.

With David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott and Sarah Silverman. [1:37]

SEX/NUDITY 4 - There's one romantic kiss. A woman begins to take off her shirt and we glimpse her bra and cleavage and a woman stumbles and we see the top of her garter belt. A man moons another man and we see his bare buttocks and heavily shadowed private parts. A man asks a woman to remove her shirt. Party scenes show women twirling their bras, bras dangling from a statue and a bare-chested young man. There is a lot of sexual innuendo, including language that can be translated sexually: a man grabs his crotch, there are references to foreplay and to people desiring other people, a man thrusts his hips and moans, a man is seen with a plastic doll, a man describes showering with the women's team that he coaches, a man has a bug extracted from his rectum (we see a flash of the man's bare hip) and a man makes a sexual reference about the procedure. A woman falls face first into a man's lap. A woman tells a man how she could have satisfied him sexually and a man and woman get into a fire truck while the man promises her satisfaction. A bug has a buttock-shaped behind.

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - The army, in tanks, overruns a town in order to destroy alien lifeforms with napalm bombs; the explosions cause the lifeforms to grow rapidly into a huge worm which comes up from the earth and chases people, causes explosions and crushes people with its tentacles. A meteorite is shown hurtling toward earth; when it hits, it explodes leaving a few little fires and a huge crater, and a man runs as his car is hurled a great distance. A huge, growing, worm-like organism is seen in a lab. Lots of flatworms wriggle on the floor of a cave as a group of people walk amongst them; flatworms are seen splitting into two in a jar and worms ooze up from cracks in concrete. We see lots of bugs and creepy crawly creatures. A man steps on a bug and it squishes into slime and other bugs come and pick up the pieces. Alien creatures attack other creatures, and we see bugs eating and attacking other bugs. We see a bug crawling under a man's skin (a doctor threatens to amputate his leg but then extracts the bug from the man's rectum as the patient yells and moans). A creature attacks a group of people by jumping on them unexpectedly and hitting them in the face; it backhands someone (he is knocked down) and throws people in the air. A creature in a water-filled tank rushes against the side of the tank with teeth bared and scares a man peering in. A creature in a lake nearly bites a man's hand as he dips into the water and then the creature walks up from the water and grabs the man's legs and drags him into the water as he screams. We see the corpse of a creature. A seemingly cute creature opens its mouth and a hideous creature with a long neck and many teeth comes out and bites a woman's hand. Twice we see a field of dying dinosaur-like creatures. A creature vomits a sac and another creature breaks out of the sac. A creature flies into the plate-glass window of a store, runs through the store chasing people, grabs a girl by the back and flies through a mall with the girl dangling from its claws as people run, scream and some people are knocked down by the creature's dangling claws. A man shoves a hose into a creature's orifice which sucks up the man and he returns covered with slime; the worm explodes into slime and gobs of matter. A man shoots a creature many times and then three men shoot it a few more times and another creature is hit with objects and then shot many times. People are nearly caught in a cave as alien lifeforms grow. A man has a spot of blood on a bandage on his hand. A man tries to draw his gun to attack another man but is restrained, and a man tries to choke another man. A man puts a plastic doll into a shack and sets the shack on fire to practice a firefighter's rescue. A man is hit in the crotch and is shown holding ice on his crotch. A man chips at a meteorite and it oozes green slime. A man yells in another man's face.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
