    I played TF2 a good amount in highschool with my best friend at the time and loved it.

        I had pretty much the same reaction to Hammer after a few years of not using it, but recently something clicked and I've been enjoying it again. It's a fun, creative outlet where the barrier to entry is so low that most anyone can create a map. And with this update, I think that'll be possible for much longer, maybe in a similar spirit of how ubiquitous Doom is.
