Lumbricidae Park

I don’t know about you, but when I think of earthworms I think of dumb and blind little tube-like creatures that do nothing but process organic matter into dirt. Now I’d expect their ancestors to be the same, but according to Tino Poutiainen not only are they dumb and blind, but also very, very, hungry. Let’s just hope that they’d rather make dirt instead of human remains should a Jurassic Park situation arise.

Worms

I was just thinking about this game a couple days ago, and thinking "gee, that would make a cool set of MOCs". Well, builder SuckMyBrick clearly heard my wish and granted it (now I'm thinking about a Toyota Tacoma TRD in grey BTW, with the bed full of cash). I actually had a friend that worked on this game, the only thing more fun than playing it was hearing stories from the studio that made it.

Earthworm Jim

90's video game platformers were ruled exclusively by a chubby plumber and a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog until an earthworm named Jim, uh, wormed his way into our hearts. Earthworm Jim left a huge impact on the video games industry with bizarre art style and quirky, slightly off-color story.

Daiman has done good job of imagining our slimy invertebrate hero into LEGO brick. I especially like Jim himself and his trusty, over-sized red blaster.

Ultimately the popularity of Jim and his super spacesuit just couldn't keep up with Mario and Sonic, leaving Jim just a fond memory in the hearts of millennials everywhere.

Mr. Worm Is Packing

I loved the game Worms. Many don't remember it, but if you enjoy Angry Birds, you owe some gratitude to Worms. This is described as a "quick, 30 minute build" but it goes to show that with great skill and inspiration, time is not really a factor. Nice work Nick.
