Well, I've finally gotten started on my second map, "Mappy 2," an obvious remake of Mappy. This time around I'll have a lot more architecture and smaller rooms, plus more humor. I'm shying away from making maps with a purpose until I get a better grasp on this whole mapping thing. Hopefully Mappy 2 will look better, even though all I have now is the beginning hallway.

A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
Tech support: Are you running it under windows?
Customer: "No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The
man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine."

Fourteen
Service Description:
The Training 05 System in the training room is not booting up. It stops on the Hard Drive check.
Closing Comment:
PC can boot up fine. Only problem encountered was that the mouse was not functioning, as it was not plugged into the machine.

Oh dear school is so boring... I have nothing to do!! (i could work, but that dosen't really count...)

Whatever skill I use to have at mapping is gone with Source lol. I can't seem to duplicate to realism of other peopls maps and all I can make is blocky bad maps that look like their from HL1. I dunno maybe my maps werent even good back then but oh well. I've tried to make a couple maps for source but ... It gets so frusterating because about half way through the map I just look at what I made and imagine what comments I'd get from it.

Just updated my site, now has full IE support. Fixed several problems with links not showing up.

I am currently building my first official, for-the-public mod. Even more surprisingly, its a Deathmatch mod - and the gameplay is unlike anything you've ever seen on Steam, I guarrantee you. However, I will not reveal ANY information on it until it is finished - trust me, it's for a good reason. Instead, I wil offer you cryptic riddles to solve, which may help you understand what I'm up to.

You can find my first teaser picture here:
