SOW Third Week of August

Here is a cropped image of an accomplice and I rocking out in TF2 as pyros. I don't actually play TF2 much, I am more of a CSS/COD4 person, but I do enjoy unlocking the new weapons (I have all of them so far). Valve is apperantly releasing a new update soon.

SOW - Second week of August

Mass Effect is yet another great game I have played this year. In case you didn't know, you CAN go to the original human solar system (it is called the Local Cluster) and although you cannot travel to Earth (darn lazy developers) you can go to the Earth's moon and jump around on the Mako (which is really fun on any planet). This is a screenshot of what Earth looks like from the Moon.

SOW - First week of August

This also had to be done. Cod4 is also a great game. I won't say anything more lest I give away the story.

SOW - Final Week of July

This had to be done. Assassin's Creed is such a great game. It may get a bit repetitive, but at any time you can still step back and realize that you are having fun. I am also a fan of Parkour, so the fact that you can use parkour to move around the cities adds a huge bonus to the game.

I am back (again), and owe you three SOWs...

Yeah, I completely failed and forgot about my blog. Following this post are two blated SoWs and one for this week.

I made my first YTP! Behold!

Source SDK Ideas?

So I have gotten myself back into the mood for making maps in Source SDK. Lately I have just been messing around making random maps and experimenting with the features (I still have a lot to learn about the program). Above is a spiral staircase I made (admittedly the hard way, make a few blocks, spin them the right way, rinse & repeat + copypasta) What I really need is a good idea for a map. I am thinking of either a single player hl2e2 level or some kind of css arena. If you have any good ideas (or even a good intermediate-level tutorial), post them in the comments and I will give them a try. I am always open to stealing other people's ideas!
