Hey there, Bluesky.
I am Urby, a level designer working primarily in Goldsource. I have worked with Unity and Unreal 4 in the past, but the majority of my experience lies with Half-Life.
I've also lent my voice to various mod projects, such as the TWHL Tower series. I am also ASTOUNDINGLY unfunny.

Not going to lie... That's a pretty funny important notice.

Listen to me attempting to reminisce about my gaming past while playing a game I only slightly enjoy.
Ok, so Duke Nukem 3D: Nuclear Winter is mostly a terrible a game, but the annual playthrough is something of a Christmas tradition for me.

NHS: We would suggest you do not get pregnant again.
Wife: That's not a problem. We're done having kids.
NHS: Great.
Wife: Actually, since it would also solve my chronic pain issues, could I get a hysterectomy?
NHS: Oh no no no, you're far too young. What if you wanted more kids?
Wife: ...I'm sorry?

My whole schtick (which I assure you, everyone finds utterly hilarious) is being overly wordy and pretentious in my posts, comments, jokes and stories.

Character limits are a direct assault on people like me that can't elucidate a point in less than 5 paragraphs

As a father to a girl who is rapidly approaching her teens, anyone who can excuse this is just as repulsive as those who participated in it.
Unfortunately, we seem to live in a world where power and wealth overrule justice. Only those with more power and greater wealth can fight for these victims.

I've made contact with a sentient office chair... Apparently it's feeling fine.
I shall continue to probe for information throughout the day.
I hope it likes farts.

I can't quite believe that TWHL Tower 2 will have been out for FIVE YEARS next week! From the humble beginnings of the first TWHL Tower, the submissions for this sequel were just ridiculously well made.
Now is a fine time to check it out... or revisit it?
