I realise that this is most likely a spambot or someone who spammed and will never return, but... You sir, are hilarious. You must tell me when you are doing stand-up. Paying for something that is readily available for free? I have never laughed so hard.

Thank you.

I don't see why people think this is a spambot; paid video tutorial sites aren't all that uncommon and if someone was already a member of the site in question, it could be quite useful.

It does seem rather ridiculous to post it here though, where most threads are full of people teaching each other how to use the software, and there is a big shiny "Portal 2 Mapping Wiki" link up the top.

But there ARE so many GOOD, FREE tutorial sites. You have the VDC, Rocketrascal34 (TopHATTWaffle), Solarchronus, etc. They really make all those paid tutorials irrelevant.

no need to excuse :wink: a lot of us just think the site you were referring to was a waste of money.
You can also find a lot of tutorials in video form on youtube, so we're not impressed about the site :sad:

However, if you finished your first map feel free to show it to us :biggrin:

So I'm going to go ahead and lock this. No offense JMcK, and we appreciate you posting helpful things, but we're not really that keen on advertising for sites that charge for freely public information. Feel free to contact me via PM if you so desire.
