Hi.

At about 00:28, my friend's worm landed on an oil barrel, which subsequently exploded out of no reason.

I've never seen this happen before. Is it a known bug? The update readme says nothing about it.

As can be seen from the extracted log (http://dump.thecybershadow.net/771691c52ab6df7fed960850636c0c29/2009-07-11%2018.00.43%20%5BOnline%5D%20FrN%2C%20%40BarmaN. log) and this screenshot (http://dump.thecybershadow.net/ee242ac4afae573d95651215aede14f2/screen0423.png), the worm fired Fire Punch just as it landed on the barrel (possibly in an attempt to disable the parachute).

Should a barrel explode if you Fire Punch from on top of it?

Looks like he was just at the corner... that could make it explode.

I must say though, it takes quite a person to accidentally blow up a barrel as soon as you land on it.

I used that move intentionally in a tool-assisted mission replay:
