As some of you know i've been gone for a little while, 2 and a half weeks to be exact but it was a great trip but i'm glad to be back. Now just to clear the air here i have been stranded on a deserted island with only a bottle of water and a knife where i survived off hunting buffalo and escaped by building a wraft and sailing to LA where i spent a nice relaxing even before returning home. So i may not be up to date on the latest news or updates but don't worry i'll catch up.

Anyway for other news i am finally been able to start working on my Left 4 dead 2 campaign so expext some updates in the near future and my computer is now free of virus's. I don't have anymore major plans so i should have plenty of time for games, work, and other news updates so for now lets kill some zombehs and terrorists with the returning hometown hero.

Today i am leaving to go on my camp trip for 2 weeks and as i am typing this i am sitting at the airport waiting for my plane. I won't be back until about the 19th or 20th so if you see my account go online than don't try messaging me because it will probably be someone else. For any problems contact any of the other group leaders and i'll be sure to announce when i'm back.

As many of you know, an update to css has been in closed beta for quite some time nowand has finally been released for everyone. One of the primary features of this update is that the engine has been updated to the orange box engine. With the new engine comes better lighting, and particle effects. This update is also very similar to the Day of Defeat:source update in which achievements and the domination system are incorporated. Not only that but there will also be stats displayed on your profile with lots of information such as your kill/death, win/lose ratios as well as most used weapon etc. Even if your not so found with these additions don't worry, as server owners can remove the Domination and killcam system on their server if they wish.

Hope you guys enjoy the update
