So anyway for those of you who want to learn mapping I started here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Getting_Started
It's noob friendly and I really haven't left that whole site to learn all my shit and I'm still learning from it.

Yeah for tutorials I find reading easier, fuck your videos off . And agree with the voice thing, maybe we should make tutorials and hire a professional voice actor?

The cheapest voice actor that i know (for tv and commercials) comes out to about $200 for 1.5/2 mins of voice.

Medic will do it for us for nothing... apart from maybe a BJ here and there...
Medic is a voice actor and acts in theater fyi...

I've got some projects where he is going to do voice overs for me

Your best bet to learn mapping is to use these resources:
- Valve (as you said) - Edit life for Info on Entities as well as downloads - Interlopers for a variety of tools like: error checking, beginner intermediate and advanced tutorials. - YouTube is definatly your best bet if you are hopeless with following written tutorials, also because it has the most tutorials on it. - NewGuy because I have a lot of time to kill and I like to teaching mapping/scripting.
