I spent most of the night playing games that are old, I haven’t played in a while, or never bothered to play even though I had them for years. Most importantly, Half-Life 2 deathmatch. Some of the most fun I’ve had in multiplayer gaming ever. The screen shot above was of me using the gravity gun to pick up a very large metal cart shortly before I chucked it at my friends head at about 200 mph. But it doesn’t really say it until you kill them by throwing a toilet at them.

We did manage to squeeze in some Dark Messiah multiplayer, and while it has it’s moments, it ends up just being horribly unbalanced between the classes, and the maps are too big, and movement too clunky. But it was fun to see Ian’s reaction when I popped out from around the corner with a charged up lightning bolt that 1-shotted him.

The majority of our time was spent on the good old Counter-Strike: Source

It’s still a fantastic game, and loads of fun to play, even the same map for hours on end. Especially when you sneak up behind your friend while he’s not paying attention and perform the duty of removing his head from his body for him.

Apparently my reaction time is just too fast for him to respond to. Even when I stopped using automatic weapons and stuck to the pistol all the time, I was still wreaking serious havoc.

In all fairness, I did mostly get my ass handed to me in HL2, but it was my first time anyway, so it’s all good.
