Thanks for the media coverage!
Wonderful, Thanks for posting this.
I played Perfect Stride v1. It is like a surf map but without nice surfing like in thos cs maps. You really need to work hard to collect the coins. It needs better maps.
With the trend of game developers running away from the PC exclusives i think mods will be more and more important for PC gaming, and i also think the best mods should indeed have commercial release.
i dont like you dissing ZMS
I do. ;)
Thanks for the upload of this!
Thanks!
Awesome as EVAR.
That was entertaining! Thanks for the mention.
