I do believe that Valve's official Half-Life 2 DM mapping competition ends today. Can't wait to see what comes out of that, I've already seen some high quality work and I imagine the best haven't even shown their map online. Hopefully Valve won't take too long judging all the entries. Would be nice if Valve released some new content of their own as well. de_tides is a step in the right direction but it's hardly the CS:S map that everyone was asking for.

  • Two Stories for you this evening:

    First up: My Drunk Story from Last Night!

    So I went out to the bar last night with all of the people that Ive ever lived with, and we all know each other real well, and its the first time that Ive been out with them since Ive turned 21. So, during happy hour (half price everything) we run up 70 bucks at the bar for a bunch of carbombs, beer, and jack and cokes, so we are all feeling alright.

    Then my chick friend calls me up and says they are having a party at their place! Its about midnight, so we all saddle up and walk about 10 minutes over to their place. The tap was having problems, and it was only working with the cups all the way to the ground. So Im feeling saucy and work the keg for about a half an hour, meet a bunch of people, and have a good time. Just pouring beer with this one other guy who was drinking Rebel Yell from the bottle. DJ shows up, turns out to be my friend from freshmen year (lived on our floor). So I jump off the keg, and I start dancing with this one girl. Lots of dancing. Like an hour later, Im sort of making out with her on the dance floor. Fun!

    So after more dancing, the music breaks for a minute, shes like "Ive gotta go see someone." Im like, well okay, no sweat off of my back, and I sort of follow and Im like, "Who?" Reply: "My boyfriend."

    Turns out, bf was cool kid I was pouring beer with. OOPS. So Im like, well alright. Turns out, didnt actually change anything. More dancing and making out ensued. And in the end she gave me her phone number and shes like "Pleeeeeease call me."

    Well, probably not going to call her, but still fun! Yes, Im an ass, but the most random thing thats happened before.

    Second: How I Almost lost the game for the Steelers

    Watch first few minutes from work. 3-0. Leave work, go have dinner with the roommates parents at Damons. Cant see the TV. Can only hear from the bar. No bad things. Get to Damons. 10-3. After we all get settled ina nd ordered, my roommate and I go head over to the bar to check up on the game.

    Immediately: Santana Moss punt return for Touchdown. I cry. Jets fans in the corner sing their joys. Realizing what we have done, roommate and I immediately leave the bar to rejoin the table.

    Outside of the restaurant, listen to the radio that they have out there describe the Interception return for touchdown. DAMMIT. Two times Ive checked the game and immediately bad things happen.

    We institute a no-talking rule about the game until we get home. Still 17-10. We get home, still 17-10. Decide we need beer for the four of us here. Roommate and I run out to the distributor. Walk in the door to get a case, IMMEDIATELY JEROME BETTIS FUMBLES THE FOOTBALL.

    I cried. Then we came home, and watched the ending. Then I had a heart attack. Fun!
