Out Worms a.k.a Co\|/.
The cow page looks
like it was made by
two completely different
people with different
intentions, then again,
it probably was. The
navigation menu is
just simply gorgeous
- it's great looking
and very fun. It is
written in shockwave
- while it takes time
to load, it is worth
the wait. It has seven
categories with many
sub-categories. It's
very easy to navigate,
even for a newbie.
When you click on
a category, many sub-categories
animate to the left
of it. Excellent -
what can I say?
When
you look at the main
frame, it's like someone
took all the glory
of the menu and covered
it with trash. It
doesn't even compare
with the menu - the
main frame and the
menu do not have any
resemblance at all.
The colours do not
match and it is indeed
very ugly. It also
does not have a colour
scheme. Something
is brown, something
is blue and something
green. The fonts are
all in bold but that
does not bother me
much. The thing that
is wrong with the
fonts is that they
are too big. And that
makes it even more
ugly. Let's go on,
shall we?
The
news has not been
updated for a while,
if you actually take
the time (or accidentally)
read them, you will
see that SunDog posts
mostly about his personal
life. It also uses
a lot of rough language
- this definitely
does not do the page
any favours.
The
management page explains
about the members.
What they do, how
they are etc. The
funny thing is that
they use political
ranks like Prime Minister,
President, and WACL
Minister...
The
member's page just
tells you who the
members are and how
they are graded. No
biggie. The grades
page is mostly for
clan members - you
get school grades
depending on how good
you are. For example:
to get a C you just
join the clan. To
get a B you have to
pass any two of the
tryouts or something
like that. For an
A you pass three tryouts.
For an A+ you beat
BaZZeR in a roper
or Beat 2k in a BnG.
To get +A+ you have
to be the Elite of
the Elite. It also
explains the tryout
system.
The
COW conduct is one
of the funnier pages.
The introduction is
a part of the bible
translated into worms.
TEAM17 represents
god and so on - very
funny. That page also
explains what rules
you must obey if you
are a COW member -
nice and simple.
When
you get to the Graves
and Flags page you
wish you would be
on the Official Site
downloads. There is
a lot of flags but
not so much as on
the Official Site.
There are only a few
good graves. Mostly
there is just South
Park and Pokemon (god,
I hate Pokemon) graves.
The flags are only
for member's cause
they have those weird
COW grades on them.
The
terrain page is one
of the best. There
are exactly 21 terrains.
Not only are they
great looking but
are also very useful
and fun. There is
a roping terrain [I
think MattmrHat gave
me a tryout on one
of the ropers a couple
of years ago for WAW.
I didn't get in =(],
a darksider terrain,
rope racing etc.
There
is not much to say
about the soundbanks
- there are exactly
five soundbanks that
are made only by members,
lets just say I recommend
the Official Site
soundbanks instead.
The files feature
your usual worms files.
Wormsnooper, W:A Winamp
skin, SchemeEd - the
usual. By the Fiddler
3.2 download I could
tell that it has not
been updated...well...since
Fiddler 3.2.
The
message board is the
GAMERS.com message
board, there is nothing
wrong with that. The
thing is that not
only most, but all
of the messages are
by members. The league
category features
Post Results, View
Results, View Games
and View Rules. Those
sites are mostly for
members so you are
probably not going
to visit them anyway.
I like the neat way
they keep their games
and ranks organised.
Training
Tips, Cheats and Deathmatch
*sigh*. By viewing
this I can say that
Jon Skeet is without
doubt the most popular
man in those sections.
Almost every site
has his tutorials
and COW is no exception.
The Links page is
also on of the better,
many links to many
sites.
The
COW site has a great
menu and it is easy
to navigate through
it. However, the site
also has an ugly design.
Some content is average,
some below average
and some above average.
An average site gets…an
average grade.
Grade:
3
