Well, it's time to introduce myself.
My name is Andrey "LaZermaniac" Bolgov. I am Russian, and I am 15. Ok. I'll tell you an epic story on how I started mapping.
It all began when I met this guy, named Nick, who was drawing something on a piece of paper. It was a test in my English class and apparently we both finished it. I asked him, what was he doing and he told me that he's working on a Half-life map. I, having just finished the HL single-player, got interested and started asking questions. It turned out he was working on a NatSel map, and I really suspect that it was ns_lost. I remember trying to get him to add a dropship there and him telling me that that would have a big face count. After that, he gave me links to the Handy Vandal's Almanac, a link to the Valve ERC and a link to ZHLT. Back then i was already screwing around with game models (still can't forget my garg-sized snarks and snark-sized gargs, done with HL Model Viewer dB-| ) So i decided to start making HL maps. I am thinking on putting my first map online for people to admire how much I sucked back then. I officialy started making maps in October 2002. So here is my life story.
I am currently working on several things:
-Making maps for a dead MOD, Scientist Slaughterhouse.
-Making a small Spirit-based mod (no coding, as I can't code).
-Trying to get through high school (I am a sophomore).
Anyway, I am also on the XEN REBELS development team, and if you check the prefabs section, the Xen Mines is my work.

OK it is as completed as I can get it. Shotgun_Canyon is done!!!!

I made my own RES file toooo!! Ain't that special?

If you read the .txt file you will know why I created this small DM map for HL.

far from classy.
Up above, in my molecules.
From my hair, to my folicles.

Hello people, I am a wise mapper, I am a game designer, I just installed Half-Life and DLed Counter-Strike, but only because I'm a cheap bastard and it was 10$ at staples! I am not a n00bie, I am not an (idiot) l33t hax0r, I am a mapper, you dont like it then whack yourself and roll over a pier into the water, I dont give a crap, nor do I give my crap if you hack open my maps, put one thing on, and call them yours, I map for fun (no... I was high of writing) .

alright i love my new avator...the letters in matrix style took me longer

I've been making Half-Life deathmatch maps since Half-Life was released. In a slow-mode now...have made over 200 maps...waiting for HL2.

Im a intermediate mapper, but dont have many ideas.
I know how to model to (more fun than mapping) but that milkshape
was only 30-day shareware. I wanna get into c++ to make an own mod, but have no compiler (since DOS-based program dont work in XP)

People on this own and help me alot. there really should be a commendations page :/ cause people on this help alot and get nothing for it. well map is in final stages of development.Burlybrawl = first map ever = should especially be like by matrix fans and also other people wil enjoy it too. ( The map contains some crazy stuff dunno y i put it in there? ) lol
