Yeah, I remember the days of ZDTV and I was sad even when it became TechTV, although I'm not entirely sure why. I thought TechTV overall was a damn good channel (although they did tend to replay a bunch of crap over and over again throughout the day, which could get old quickly). While the only show I really enjoyed was The Screensavers, Call for Help, Unscrewed, and XPlay were all great shows in their own ways. I'm just sad to see what it's become at this point.
I'd like to make a Rainbow Six style mod using the Source engine; I think that would be really fun. Kind of like office for CS:Source, only bigger maps and stuff. I know that there was a mod out there that was kind of Rainbow Six style, but I never played it and haven't kept up on whether they're going to port it to Source. T'would be fun though.
That's bull. There are tons of people switched over to CS:Source. Just check the server list. It certainly isn't Half Life 2: Multiplayer, I'll agree with that, but that doesn't mean that CS:Source sucks. They made some graphical improvements, yes, but they also made some gameplay improvements as well, i.e. smoke grenades are actually really useful now, flashbangs are far superior to their counterparts in 1.6, you don't get damaged through walls and such by nades, etc. Now, the only complaint I have is that the headshots seem to be rampant in Source, but whether that's just crap or a valid observation, I have no proof for. Still, overall it's a great improvement over CS 1.6, and once the map support is there, and now that the SDK is out, it will definitely take over 1.6.

He's right; I judge books by their covers all the time. I only read pretty books.
