I've finally released this port of Quake 1's DM3; a map any Q1 player surely remembers. This map was actually finished quite a while ago, not long after CS:S was released, but I never thought it worthy of release. I'm glad I finally did it though, as I now play it regularly on my server with other old q1 players. On a similair note, my other map, fy_farcry, is seeing a bit of action as well. I've actually had people reffer me to this map, not knowing I was the one who made it. That's pretty cool.
I released one of my CS:S maps today, which was a big pain to do. Making it was easy, a couple of hours tops, but getting it ready for release... Nightmare, won't be doing that again.
I've just spent two hours pedaling the ignition on the Piaggio NRG2. It took more out of me than a week's worth of weight lifting at the gym, but it payed off. Nearing success (but not yet realizing it), I remember thinking how insane what I was doing was, and that nobody at their right mind would keep at it for more than 10 minutes, nevermind two whole hours. Luckily, I'm a very stubborn man and in that last fit of rage I had while hammering at the ignition, the damned thing started. Overjoyed, I proceeded to annoy the entire neighbourhood by driving at max speed on a VERY loud motorbike, not ten meters away from their dinner tables.
On a side note, it appears I'm in the top 14% CS:S players on csports.net, which came as a surprise to me. I generally suck pretty bad at Counter-Strike: Source, so this must mean there's people who are absolutely awful at it, yet they keep playing. Some people...
My girlfriend (Ur¹ka) treated me to a concert yesterday. It was Anastacia, so my expectations were suitably low, although that turned out to be unjustified, because she put on one hell of a show. You could tell it was her first tour, because she looked like she was enjoying herself and didn't make it seem like hard work.
I almost didn't make it to the concert, because I came down with something rather nasty, but I couldn't get a hold of Anastacia in time to reschedule, so I packed some serious handkerchief firepower and went anyway. I guess she owes me one.
Oh, and respect to whomever had to clean up under my seat afterwards, I imagine that took some courage.

Today marks the day of my first true ownage in CS:S. Sure, there have been other instances when I did really well, but today I went 20:5 on a 40 man server (with one round AFK, but I know that's no excuse so nevermind). Pure ownage? Well yeah, for a player who wastes no more than 15-30 mins a day with this thing, as oppposed to people who've been at it since 1999, I'm pretty impressed with myself.
Here's something unique about me. Today, I started the day by freezing my behind (and quite a behind it is) off at the bus stop, waiting for, well, the bus. This bus then proceeded to take me to yet another bus stop, where I continued to freeze my behind off until another bus came along and took me to a completely different location, which facilitated further freezing of my behind. Off.
After a while of freezing, I took the car, had it washed, returned it and then decided to find the nearest bus stop and resume from where I left off. Freezing my behind off, of course. After another session of this activity at a completely different bus stop, I returned home.
I'll bet you I am the only person in the history of the world who can stake a claim to this story.
I have travelled forward in time, met my older self, took a picture of him and returned with photographic evidence that I remain beautiful even at the age of 70+.
