All the items in the Team Fortress Workshop, and in fact Team Fortress itself, are a testament to how amazing the community’s creations are.

Please reply A.S.A.P it'll be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

There is a discrepancy in the definition of the set of natural numbers. Some people say the set starts at 0. Others, like myself, define the smallest element as 1. So it was a little unnerving to see that this tutorial series starts not at 1, but at 0, which by my definition is not a natural number but, by others' definition, is.
