fishy-stinky

many ppl have been whining about their desires for TFC / TF:Source etc... others complain here about hw problems, others complain about valve here. but I'd just like to say that HL2DM was a blast last nite at midnite... I played and played until I finally killed somone with a toilet. That was the most satisfying thing ever. HL2dm is kinda a gibfest but it was tons of fun thanks Valve, not everyone is mad at you.... Thanks for working your asses off after releasing your game to give us what we want instead of jetting for bermuda (as a software engineer, i sure would have, i bet your ppl are burned out)...
