1-year, at TF2maps

Sooo... I just realized... I've been here a whole year. A year and 5 days, to be exact...

I've seen a lot of stuff here. I've seen people come and go. I've seen people come and stay. I've learned a lot of stuff here, not just as a mapper, but... as a person. I've nearly left the site, twice, and, well, without any better way to describe it, I had to put myself through a bit of shit, but I'm still here, I'm still mapping, and, let's just say I'm glad for it.

I'd really like to thank everyone here, as, you've all been great friends to me. Hell, I even met someone on the site, Ades, and he's basically one of my best friends now.

And you know, now that I've gotten myself into this deep, monologue... it really sucks, being an introvert in highschool... I've been teased quite a bit, I get called the usual stuff, nerd, geek, most of us have been there... I'm even kind of wondering if I have Asperger syndrome, I mean I do have friends, over here where I live... but... it's nice, having a place to go to, to just, relax, talk, and be yourself. Not just some quite kid over by himself.

Because... it's very easy for some people to forget... this is a place. Sites... on the internet... are a place... and more importantly, there are people... at those places.

People that you almost never have to be afraid to talk to...


But, anyway, I'm starting to ramble a bit here. I figured it would make sense to do something here to celebrate, so, I've posted a link to every TF2 map I've posted on this site, excluding joke maps. (I can't quite remember the order though)

I've been here longer than you, and the only thing i'm working on so far is a weeny little arena map, what amazes me is the amount of different styles and different game modes you've tried out.
But you've never seemed to finish any of them

Hey, that's your thing. Keep working on your arena map!

I'm just more of the kinda guy that's like: "Let's make a map now! BWAAAAAA"
