God damn, has it been a while. Some of you may know me. Most of you probably hate me, and I can understand why. But here I am, back after about four years, and I've got a lot I want to say.

Well, first off, let me please profusely apologise about my entire behaviour back then. I'll be the first to admit I was utterly, completely stupid, whiny, nonsensical and down-right egotistical. I thought I was 'the man', the big guy who everybody knew and everybody loved. Yeah, looking back, I'm surprised most of you put up with me. I wouldn't put up with me back then.
All those years ago, I was just a kid, no older than eleven, believe it or not. Now I'm fifteen, almost sixteen, and I've learnt a lot about life in general, as well as respect, and I've got a lot more self-consciousness in regards to what I say and do now. I understand how much of an utter prick I was, and I think I've got over most of it now.

I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I will say with all certainty that I am nothing like I was before.
The only thing that I'm worse at now than before is Worms itself. I am so damn rusty, you have no idea. I'm also completely ignorant to all of the changes and new features that the great Deadcode and CyberShadow have added, tweaked and introduced over the last few years, so if anyone who can fill me in on what I've missed, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Since I've left Worms, I've gone over to Xbox LIVE for a few years, learnt some stuff, and now I've got two somewhat-successful YouTube channels, Shirdel7221 and NamcoMusicCenter, feel free to check out those if you like.
So, hopefully, I can gain some respect from you guys for the first time, and have some good games.

tl;dr I played Worms, I f@#!ed up, I left for four years, I learnt some shit, I'm back, I'm rustier than HRM's vagina.

Yup, I've only just got back and I'm already pwning the forum
Anyways, I've decided to add a little spice to the forums. I've done this by accepting nominations for The Worm Awards 2008.
I know some of you (well, most) will disagree with this, but I'm going to go through with it unless if a Admin decides to say No.
Anyway, I may only be back a little while, but I know what's going on. Ok, here are the awards, and the things/people/clans you can vote for:
