Thanks
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
I would like to thank Valve for a terrific game.
I would like to thank Chet Faliszek and the other members of the
Passing DLC team for providing me with some awesome feedback.
I would like to give props to everyone on the Steam Forums and
everyone that posted a tutorial. Without your help, this mod would
still be a long time coming.
I would also like to thank the people who helped me playtest
Mike Rielly, Paul Bono, Patrick Hunt, Richard Patchak, Sirdangalot,
SuicideAngel.
To my Lovely Wife, Leah, for being so supportive of all my creative
efforts.
To my son, Tristan, for just being you.
Thank you, you are all great!
