Last night Justin and I tried out Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. Holy shit was it fun. Not the best DM game ever, but a hell of a lot of excitement for someone not that great at FPSs. I strongly suggest you check it out if you can.
In related news, I have [what I believe is] an awesome idea for a HL2 mod. I don’t really want to announce the details at the moment, for several reasons, but if you’re interested or have any desire to work on such things, let me know. I’m looking for someone with some experience in modding to help out, since I’ve never done a damn bit.
