Scott spent more than three hours this afternoon learning Source mapping.

He already knew the basics, but I taught him creating prop_static, creating water (with proper cubemaps), placing NPC (with info_nodes), creating displacement surfaces, and application of overlays.

He already knows more than me. Same name, too.

I have a good feeling about this one. He will be a master.

Can you have Scott get on Steam to help me with my displacements and overlays?

I wonder how will he feel about this when he'll grow to an adolescent. Will he thank you, or will he ask himself if he had free will in choosing what to become?
If he'll become passionate about computer games though, he will most likely be thankful :).

Show us his first map when possible :P.

He begs me to teach him mapping whenever we have some free time together. I would rather have him run around outside, but he really enjoys mapping.

He won't have any maps worthy to release for a while. One thing I am teaching him is to have a sense of quality standard. Don't release any old map you make. Only release the ones that are truly great so other people won't waste time playing a boring map.

Then of course you also have to teach him what is a boring map in the first place.

ps. once opon a time she asked me about a drawing software so i launched Paint after a few days she asked me it is possible to add trees, bushes etc.. so i launched GIMP and she liked it :o

You shouldn't even be part of the human race.
