I doubt most people looking at that thing realized it could be crouch jumped up until they saw someone else do it.

Don't we all just try and climb everything when we play a map for the first time?

Dear god... so bad that it's good

Nothing official, but grats to the coreans as most of the maps put forward in this video are from here

Any estimates on when the next operation is? I'm guessing late december/mid january?

The legal fight with gambling is back with Valve and the gambling commission essentially calling a game of bluffs with eachother

GC - You're breaking gambling laws mate!

Valve - Oh yea!? Prove it!

Seems at this point the GC's problem with Valve is their lack of action past the first wave of C&Ds, sure Valve went after a list of sites, but they left a lot of them off the list, I'm still seeing ads for skin gambling sites on youtube today.

One thing people tend to forget is valve looks at old maps as well. Everyone is compiling lists of the latest submissions

My favourite series on YouTube for Counter Strike is /u/3kliksphilip's "Making of de_sparity". I loved his explanations of each stage of development and why he made the map to the point where it is today. From there I looked at other videos of this type and found a few, but not many. That series motivated me to start mapping.

This is where my interests turned to a video type that is absurdly absent from YouTube. At least not consistently. Workshop map reviews/showcases. Sure, there is a few videos here and there but not a strong series(If there is I'd like to know). 

I started a YouTube channel to showcase and give opinions about decently produced maps (not day creations). So in this way it is not reviews of maps that have a strong chance of being in the next operation, but to amateur creators who are passionate and have put some time into the map. It is a way to present a map that would normally be buried by high class mappers and give feedback. Personally I feel it is a great idea, benefiting mappers greatly.

Another video style also relatively absent is CS mapping videos, I started a live series (posting as I create the map, rather than post) of my map making journey.

(And yes I have seen the few workshop map review videos)

 

I would love your opinions and suggestions about this and hope you check the videos out.

If anyone is interested in editing the Valve-made maps 3klicksphilip got you covered!

I was far to lazy to edit those func_details myself...

CSGO skin gambling is the bane of my existence, I cannot look up any game information without this being a common sight

In that one video alone, the guy vocally advertised two different skin sites, flashed up two skin sites on the video, alongside those two ads built into youtube. Don't know if there was more, I just dropped out of the video and pissed off.

 

Edit:

Fucking hell! I just noticed the recommendations section as well.

Christ that looks horrible. Get yourself an adblock and don't click videos with titles in all caps xD

[RivFader]

I am actually surprised people still fall for these all caps, Tv salesman/telephone gambling type videos. It's not the 80s or the 90s anymore, almost everyone should know this is shady af....
