Been thinking about this for a wee while.

If you’ve been around the internet for longer than a day, no doubt you’ve at least heard of forums, if not joined them.

Step 6: Submit for review

Hey folks!

Now, since this is my first blog post,t ime for the traditional Oscar winning speech… I would like to thank my dog for inspiring me and helping me out during the dark moments…

Yeah I’m kidding, I don’t even have a speech prepared.

So, for my first blog, a bit of help with GMod,for those who have played GMod and tried playing on the TF2 maps, you’s will know that it looks quite,well, un-Tf2ie? Eg the windows are not there, instead covered by some black cover thing.… ...Read More
