That reminds me of the time I was on a roll with one of the maps I made then lost everything when Hammer crashed. You know you've done too much mapping if you forget to save.

I've seen many misaligned floor and ceiling tiles in reality, for which I would have been yelled at if I had made those in Hammer.
