I feel like Albert Wesker forcing people to fight for their lives like rats in my maze of horror, all for the cold, calculating purpose of data collection before the test subject goes prime time.

So I took the gameday and the pregameday logs and found a parser to run them through, and here it the outcome.

As an idea of just how long 5 years ago was, I quit when WorldCraft, which you know as Hammer, was released as 3.4, allowing mappers to see models withing the mapping program for the first time. I remember a picture of a scientist sitting on a toilet, and it was the most amazing thing ever. Steam wasn't around. Yeah, old.
