Speaking about Apple, I can't figure out if my headphones fucked up or it's my iPod nano that's fucked up.

NOTE: My iPod nano is 6th gen and the headphones work fine, just the buttons don't respond or do anything.

Isn't the 6th gen Nano touch screen only?

Ah, funny how they're beginning the whole smartwatch craze now, when that iPod Nano had the whole wear tech as a watch thing down already.

I have an iPod Nano. I've actually been using it (A LOT, as in, at least an hour using it every day) for several years. My first iPod though, dunno what kind, didn't last as long before the buttons stopped working.

I should at least try some Apple product at some point. I haven't yet, as I stuck PC to avoid having trouble adapting to a 'different' OS than Windows.

Although when considering W8, maybe I will try some Mac/iPhone in the near future.

And yes, you can call me 'lazy': I didn't try Apple products at all because I was lazy. Same for Linux stuff.

I got into Apple tech because of my dad. I basically inherited his laptop after he got a new one and I loved its functionality and swiftness. Also: no bullshit slowdowns simply because of the way the OS functions.
I realise the downsides; don't think I'm blind. But overall, I prefer Apple now (though I go Android all the way when it comes to phones).

Huh, you're right. I remember using my nano as a modern day pocket watch.

Hah, Worms Armageddon. I once bought that game only to find that inside was Worms 2 instead.

Worms 3D is pretty good, although I dislike your disability to teleport inside structures, while the AI clearly *can*.

Can they? and can't you? I thought if you just get the camera angle right you can pretty much get it anywhere

Yes, if there's like a window, but in places like the submarine in Submission, you can't teleport and they can. Or if you create a custom level with for example a blimp in it, you can't get in but they do. It's a really annoying and useful tactic against Air Strikes. :P

Haha fair enough, I can't say I've ever remembered them teleporting into bits like that.

I remember the death matches towards the end were absolute bitches

Worms 4 is love, Worms 4 is life.

I found Worms 3D good, but the sequel was way better. The deathmatches in that one were pretty easy apart from 6 and 8, and the very last one was incredibly easy.

Although I must say I got gypped by Team17 on Worms 2008 on my phone. It promised me space and I get grass.

There was one, I believe it was called Helter Skelter, which I've never been able to complete.

Is today your lucky day or what. I managed to write a walkthrough on Worms 3D that stops at the challenges. (I really should get round to finishing it.)
A long time ago, I wrote:1. Collect the three Weapon Crates on the helter skelter, then fire a Bazooka at JAMES.
2. Fire a Bazooka at GEORGIA.
3. Hit IRA with a Bazooka. Chances are you won’t kill him.
4. If he’s still alive, Parachute down to IRA and drop a Grenade next to him. Don’t Parachute down to him if the wind is strong.
