My cousin is visiting from New York.

He's a lawyer, and his work is busy, so I see him about once every ten years.

He's staying with us, and I found out last night that he plays Half-Life 2 also. I watched him play my single-player maps for the first time.

It was one of those things I've been waiting for all my life--to watch someone who had already played Half-Life 2 to play my map for the first time. I get to see his reaction as he tried to avoid my traps.

I've been waiting all my life for this moment, and it happened so unexpectedly. I had no idea that he is a gamer before.

The best things in life are unexpected.

Let him play Half-Life: Uplink Extended. Remember your drool when you first played it? :D

It's always good to actually see someone's reactions to your work. And I second that motion on Uplink Extended! :)

When I went to uni, I was susprised to find a few HL2 modders. I was able to test their work and it was interesting seeing how others mapped in person.

I wonder if I've got a chance to encounter at least 1 mapper or modder for halflife 1\2 , giving the fact that most romanians spend all their day on hi5 and yahoo messenger.

I love romania for its landscapes, otherwise I hate it.
