Finally, my ten-year-old son has become a worthy opponent for me in Half-Life 2 Deathmatch.

I haven't had this much fun for so long.

Wow, that's really nice. Lots of funny moments going to happen, I'm sure.

This reminds me of the countless hours when my brother (who was 5 at the time) and I played CS 1.6 and Sven Co-op. It's unfortunate that he avoids them these days. :/

It's so crazy that I remember Scott being born on TWHL, toddler updates on gamingparents and now he's moments away from kicking his old man's butt at HL2DM.

So awesome. I have such fond memories of LAN games with my dad when I was his age. Elite Force was the all-time favourite.

Can't imagine a better role model for him to have, Satch.

Thanks, Archie. He's also playing Portal 2 and TF2. I am waiting for him to complete the single player campaign in Portal 2 before we attempt the coop puzzles together.

The Portal 2 puzzles I designed are still too challenging for him.

It's hard to believe he's already 10, but then again it's hard to believe I've been part of TWHL for 9 years as well.
Time flies...
