Hello to all. I am a dedicated gamer who has long been facinated in the creation of games. With my first computer I had a MS-DOS game called ZZT. With the editor I made some incredible games and mini-adventures and found that this was what I enjoyed more than anything. Then I bought Half-Life when it was released and have been mapping ever since. Now my skills have widened to include many platforms and skills. I am now a semi-good Half-Life coder, basic modeller, average model animator, good mapper and an average graphic designer. Over the last 10 years I have been mapping for Half-Life. The last 4 years have seen my skills increase to cover games like F.E.A.R. and UT3. I love being out in the gaming community, learning and teaching all at the same time. There is no better way to play...

OMFG! This game is just so unnessarily hard that I just HAVE to beat it. I'm stuck on the green worm game (as in the pic above). I can't help but get killed by the plane, there is nowhere to go.

Sorry if this idea has already been done, I tried to read through all this =)

(Not to be confused with Smoker from L4D)

Idea: Tounge Grapple
Ability type: Special
Pros: Tounge sticks to most surfaces (can make certain surfaces unstickable, ie, glass, some metals, ect) as well as players and uses tounge to slingshot towards stuck surface/player. If stuck to a player, player is momentarily stunned (only a few seconds) and Necrotroph can slingshot into player causing damage and knocking them back. Can cover great distance quite quickly.
Cons: Necrotroph is momentarily rendered motionless while launching tounge and preparing to slingshot towards target. Necrotroph is also unable to detach from target mid-flight (maybe) and their course cannot be altered. Said Necrotroph is also small and light so very weak.

Probably because not all are multiplayer suitable, i think there were a few but not many.
