Half-Life
With Half-Life's release, a passing interest in level design turned into a full-on addiction. While I originally cursed this strange "Valve Software" for buying Worldcraft, by the time the game shipped I eagerly jumped back into familiar software and began dabbling.
I finally finished a map for the first time in 1999 for a LAN party with some of my friends, but it wasn't until shortly after I graduated from high school in 2001 that I hit the ground running and started down the path that would eventually see me working professionally.
