GMOD: Elevator Source (Randomized Elevator Trip)

[@TheLibrarianYT]

I am in absolute disbelief that Content ID didn't give me more trouble with this.

[@mrk893]

well that's good to hear

[@kingofdisabledbadgers9673]

I think it's because the game makes the music muffled, making the Content ID confused.

[@midnightZer0]

Granted some music was from Sonic Adventure 2

[@SuperCaitball]

Surprising to me too, given how trigger happy Nintendo has been lately.

[@wazzzup2579]

I actually got nervous for you when I heard Daft Punk in the beginning as well as other Video game osts

[@sheperdsfireworks]

"GM-Towers" is a relatively old Gmod gamemode that was kinda like a MMO. Dozens (sometimes hundreds) of players on a large Hotel-like map could play games and have their own customizable room/apartment.

[@CaptainAwsome]

It's been shutdown for a while but still exists in Tower Unite on Steam

[@ClassicShocker]

I remember that gamemode, used to play it all the time back in the day.

[@Immolator772]

don't forget the cinema maps too, you were pretty much chilling with strangers and watching KZbin vids, on a really well detailed map.

[@ThunderUnrelenting]

i miss it so much..

[@totallynotabot6003]

Remember the billboard easter egg?

[@BigothyArchibaldBusiness]

I can distinctly remember the fact that this level created an entire genre of custom map on basically every platform that had a freeform level editor. Its actually ridiculous how much this accelerate the genre of "Random Events In Elevators" Genre. They were all over Roblox back in the day.

[@Kaslidaughterofchaos]

I even saw this exact gmod map ported to roblox some how.

[@Ashwevim]

@@Kaslidaughterofchaos Me too, I think there was some drama happened with the original Roblox porter and now it's by a different user.

[@Exel3nce]

to think that there isnt a "real" game with this kind of setting, and also in vr

Yeah, the main one was called "The Normal Elevator"

[@KaixoDenek]

We can make an entire anime story with this

[@DunestrikeMorgan]

@@KaixoDenek im not much of an anime fan but i would genuinely watch that.

[@physical_insanity]

I'm still amazed how that bit with Isaac (or Father Grigori) actually scared you. Like there's very few actually scare rooms the elevator stops off at, and the atmosphere is usually an indication of what type of room it is, with the scenery beyond basically being a tacit encouragement to check it out. Honestly, this just proves that two things I've learned from your videos is that you're curious when you should be cautious and you're cautious when you should be curious. Not sure if it's a good thing being a walking horror archetype, but it does add a uniqueness to your videos.

[@watch_kitty]

This, so much this. You're a bit too overanxious and overanalyzing.

[@genericwhitekidthesecond4330]

I mean he has said that curiosity drives him alot at times where it doing that works against his own survival. So this is just reaffirming something he himself said.

[@MineSlimeTV]

I somehow imagine librarian character as a transdimensional curious explorer of antique ancient or curiously macabre. An explorer yet with no actual objective. An investigator with no clue but many thoughts! It's a cool idea I imagine!

[@unluckycatfish6866]

I'd shit myself too if a mentally unstable shotgun wielding guy just walked briskly at me

[@RealityRogue]

I think its about perspective. Going in he was in the mindset for spooks, and had no knowledge of what the floors would be like. It was the first floor too so it was fresh. Suddenly something from the shadows started walking towards the elevator. Honestly I jumped too. I had NO idea what it was that was approaching so suddenly.

[@SammyTheRat]

I love how you looked at Father Grigori like “we’re friends now. We’ve been through thick and thin” and canonically in HL2 in one section he helps you fend off a whole hoard of zombies and calls you his “brother” and stuff. Total badass

[@TimSlee1]

If they update this map they need a Stanley Parable section with the narrator. I.e: Narrator: "Stanley stepped into the elevator." Stanley: *just stands there* Narrator: "I said Stanley stepped into the elevator." Stanley: *still standing there* Narrator: *sigh* "I really didn't want to have to resort to extreme methods but you leave me no choice." *violently ragdolls Stanley into the elevator*

[@sammy_wills]

Oh my god that is actually the best idea i have EVER heard for this map! XDDD

[@WOKEchair]

this

[@ContoniaCosmo]

you can actually make your own levels using the sdk in the description of it!

[@GlacialSkyfarer]

"Listen, I'm sorry Stanley but this is a multiple person experience, and I really need you to cooperate, so I'm going to have to..."

[@Grandmaster-Kush]

Man this is a nostalgia trip, the first piece of GMOD content I ever saw 10 years ago now!

[@Zipperskull_]

Same I remember seeing this play by alot of gaming horror content creator back then. So many memories 😄

[@breezy5797]

No way it's that old? I feel so old

[@ZaroYuki]

I remember Vanoss crew played this

[@ocamoriechan]

I met a friend in the elevator source servers, he was cool, one time we did the elevator in a mp pier to pier thingy and it was either in sand box or he figured out how to get weapons I also had a blood mod on and we hit each other or it was manly him who hit me but the elevator had so much blood everywhere it was awesome. :)

[@YUN6_V3NUZ]

I can't believe you've been into gmod for this long but never heard of this map! It's such an absolute classic. The guys who made it also worked on gmod tower and later tower unite.

[@mordecaijackson461]

I can't believe he hasn't heard of Gmod Tower.

[@ootahcanadiensis]

i can't believe Father Grigor- i mean Isaac shot that ghost without pointing his gun

lol that moment of confusion at the beginning when he doesn’t realize he needs a gamemode to make it work

[@themagic8ball]

4:25 Normal person: walks to elevator Librarian: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

[@Zipperskull_]

I was like "come down" when he was freaking out 😂

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

Father Grigori is far from a normal person.

[@Kipwich]

Well, a normal person with a gun. I feel like a lot of people would be surprised

[@lemone12]

💀: walks to elevator Librarian: :0

[@Trippy-Fox]

Strobing lights/pictures at 2:25 can cause seizures in epileptics, just a warning for people who are susceptible to that kind of thing.

1:40 "I've spent a fair amount of my life doin- Obamer? 😺"

[@AzzieEquinox]

I also highly recommend playing Jazztronauts, another Garry's Mod addon. It's not exactly a singular map, but a gamemode that will allow you explore many more maps in ways you otherwise wouldn't be able to, all while having it's own little story and characters. It's like it's own game. Definitely one of the best addons on the workshop. (Edit: And yes, it has a few spooky elements depending on what ending you try to aim for.)

[@1brilliantkid]

that would be a good idea.

[@mushroomcrepes]

oh damn that's one i have scrolled past many times and just noticed it a few weeks ago so I gave it a try, definitely one of the most unique experiences I've had on gmod

[@melodycloud3570]

I remember when Jazztronauts first came out the stuff it does is insane to think that the source engine/glua can do that stuff.. Think some of the devs or gm tower and tower unite..

[@timnbd545a]

Jazztronauts is the single best mod I have ever played. It feels like a game in itself. I also feel it gives off a “A hat in time” atmosphere

[@Angel_Flash]

I second this. Jazztronauts is the perfect Gmod gamemode if you have any sort of nostalgia for the game at all. I played through the entire campaign with 3 of my friends and it was amazing.

[@DoubleAyeBatteries]

My favorite part of this game mode is that at the very end it lets you off at what is basically a hangout spot; it’s an absolutely perfect end for an adventure with some friends.

[@TubbyFatfrick]

My headcannon for Hamlet is that he's just wearing an unusual, and is getting increasingly pissed off as you continue to slander about him. He did not spend 700k to be called "Satan."

[@falloutgamer347]

But he sure as hell will be called satan

[@Unoriginal____Starwalker]

I watched venturiantale play this like 7 years ago lol, memories are sorta flooding back from back then. Watching your content is much more than entertaining.

[@yeboxxx_channel_2505]

I also remember Venturiantale playing that epic Mech mode with Mech vs Tank. Then there was a whole Battle Royale from another KZbinr with the same mechs.

[@Doobiusphantom]

His reaction to father g startled me more than seeing father did lmao

[@Yveldi]

I don't know why, but the affection in your voice when you said "Isaac!" caught me VERY off guard :D

[@NephilisThylord]

A moment of silence for Issac and Darwin, please.

[@Techhunter_Talon]

7:36 Yep and I love them. Honestly, I always like it when a game lets you look down and see your body or legs. Kinda gives more of a sense of you taking up space rather than just being a floating torso with arms.

[@Zipperskull_]

I remember alot of youtubers would play this back then, this map is really well made for its eerieness and weird floor levels.

[@HamazuraGOD]

I have such fond memories of UberHaxorNova playing this

[@HamazuraGOD]

Holy God in heaven this is a trip to the past. I was OBSESSED with this map as a kid, especially the end room. This really is such a well done map and I wish there was some sort of sequel or large update or something.

[@FIRERocket340]

Holy crap, I think I've seen a recreation of this on ROBLOX. It was quite literally named The Random Elevator before it was deleted a few years later.

[@toufusoup]

Absolute classic. Almost as if Sark, Nanners, and Nova uploaded their respective videos on this yesterday. Too bad their games were bugged, but this was a throwback regardless.

[@lemmyspeaks]

You said Nova We need a fuckin mediiiicc

[@Exel3nce]

man, the idea of a randomized elevator horror trip with s1 or alone, in vr, as a good looking game....god, what a thought damn, so many ideas pop up in my head. god damn it, why isnt there anything

[@Ky-Nas]

Holy shit, I can't believe Skeletrex's forces extend all the way out to this interdimensional elevator. The Bone Brigade's got some _reach_ huh?

[@clowntown5768]

I remember the guys at VenturianTale playing this game 9 years ago. Those guys were the best kids entertainment on youtube back in the day. too bad they got exposed for something i dont remember about. thanks for the nostalgia, Lib.

[@openedrocket7837]

This reminds me of when Vanossgaming and his friends played this, nostalgia overload.

[@bernardocarvalho5004]

I went to a friend's B day party when o was a kid, at one moment me and other kids where in the elevator and for some reason it toom us to the last floor, there was problem with the lights and the whole floor was dark, it still got that weird feeling of something that shouldnt happened, i didnt remmember this until i saw this video Keep the great content and sorry for the english

[@DonnaPinciot]

Oh my gosh, I used to play this map all the time with friends, just to see what wacky things would end up happening (and to play in the room at the end of the ride). Such a nostalgia trip seeing familiar events, and it's especially interesting to see it from someone coming at it with fresh eyes.

[@degiguess]

I miss playing this map back in the day when servers ran it. Being in this wacky elevator with other players and all of you, from what I remember, actually being able to die was amazing.

[@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizard]

Darwin origin story! Also,funny how we met a Hamlet here, theorized to be the devil himself And then, fast forward a year or so, we now have another Hamlet, arguably even more possibly evil as this, who comes in and sticks around, though, unlike this Hamlet, he's taken prisoner involuntarily

[@doubleabattery8099]

man this map really takes me back to the first time i saw gmod!

[@KitKat-ui1gc]

oh... i used to absolutely LOVE this map as a kid, i played it almost all the time, especially the ending room, god the memories...

[@bushman6354]

You should play anemoiapolis. It's not a gmod map but it handles liminal spaces beautifully. But these elevator maps are so charming.

[@makoto3874]

100%

[@FriskyD.]

But it's not done yet

[@humanthingymabob]

It just feels like Isaac was just a normal person on the elevator and he was just standing there making sure you were safe and Darwin was evil so he just got rid of Darwin or he couldn’t stop the elevator from going to that floor and Darwin was good it just feels like Isaac was some type of God

[@thatsnothowthatworks9177]

The apartment/suite that you arrive at in the end, if I remember right, you could interact with the remote and you could play videos on the TV, like those movie theater maps where you can request videos by copy pasting links I believe And I’ve only been on the map a few times years ago, but I think there are some rooms/events that I haven’t seen yet. I don’t remember the room with the robots on conveyor belts.

[@Eira_]

you could also combine different food (and also bleach and skulls) into the blender to make drinks with various effects depending on what you blended. That was always my favourite part of the map to mess around with

[@Vigilant379]

If you never played this in its hayday with 20 randos, you really missed out.

[@SirAroace]

Wow, this is a classic, to bad some parts don't work anymore

[@sir-scudio]

eyyy elevator source. this is a classic and i'm glad you got around to covering it.

[@gordon_freeman2542]

Elevator Source is nostalgic, I remember watching VenturianTale play it.

[@battlenugget_2154]

This is a classic map for me, I remember seeing venturiantale play this map. Also im pretty sure this what the normal elevator from roblox is based on

[@Aksen0076]

A map dear to my childhood, I used to play this over and over again, I love this map. By the way you can actually blend with the blender at the end of the map, you can put in different ingredients to make different drinks, each with different effects.

[@zeronicles]

first game mode ive ever played on gmod and my favorite brings me back

[@abysmalist4761]

i loved the part where you were looking at a giant board with "Instructions" written on it and going "i have no idea how to play this"

The origins of Darwin. It all began here.

Natural Selection really didn't like Darwin, it seems.

[@immrsmoothy4434]

[@filmgunproductions4448]

This is a little off topic but, I find it very funny how everyone in gmod (including myself) naturally talk with their mouse and keyboard by pacing and accentuating their words with wrist movements. It genuinely looks like your character is talking like a puppet in first person and it's weird how we all do this naturally after playing gmod multiplayer for a few hours.

[@GreenFloyd]

remember playing this in 2012/2013. replayed it a lot just to see new stuff, got spooked too and looked forward to the spooky ones to show friends. good times.

[@XyzzySqrl]

This REALLY makes me want to see you play Jazztronauts, which I believe one of the creators of this map worked on. It'd be a bit of a long haul of a game, since it calls for you to go to other Gmod maps and collect things, but it could be fun... and the NG+ ending is a really good fit for this channel...

[@limenade444]

The Love Cat part was so funny xD

[@rabidslimes]

Just found your content recently and just.... I don't know why, but your Gmod videos are so nice to listen to. It's not overly loud, it's not annoying, it's just a normally informational, fun and calming time.

[@ashtongiertz8728]

What would be really interesting would be if various floors had triggers for the NPCs, so the same floor could have a slightly different experience depending on who's in the elevator at the time.

[@SuperCaitball]

"GMOD Towers" was basically the primeval version of Tower Unite. Basically a social simulator MMO / arcade.

[@EnderVulpes]

After watching this i now get why you call every skeleton Darwin. Also the bone bergade joke

[@Sharty_McFly]

Damn, I completely forgot about this. The first time I saw this was on Uberhaxornova's channel WAY back in the day. This unearthed so many memories.

[@NaeveSnowsTavern]

Gm tower was a mod made by pixeltail games. It's hard to explain..... You play games, earn money, and buy gear for yourself and furniture for your apartment.... I guess it was sort of a social game. It shut down years ago and became tower unite, which you can find on steam today.

[@ThatGuy-cl8gc]

I discovered this addon very early in my gmod career and it was my absolute favorite It holds a special place in my heart, also I know this is 2 years late, not only can you play billiards and slots, you could also make drinks with the blender and random stuff in the cabinets fridge and on counters

[@oriyo899]

Fun fact! On the top floor, theres various items in the cupboards, fridge, and around the room that you can place into the blender to create different potions and whatnot, atleast from what I remember, that couldve been native to the server I played on.

[@TTHBLOX_]

Omg this is trippy.. played this map yesterday and was planning to put it in the discord to reccomend to you! Wow

[@TechNinjaSigma]

I have now been inoculated, thank you Librarian, very cool

[@hunters79]

What a delightful trip you took us on. Definitely reminded me of my first time on this elevator, because I did the exact same thing you did, making up narratives for the characters and I even think I started to make alliances too! It was great to watch someone else react the same way!

[@V0ID_X5]

This was oddly creepy and oddly beautiful at times! The amount of creativity in each room is astonishing! I would have loved to stop and visit some of the rooms... This is probably my favorite video you’ve done

[@IronBoy-hf2lp]

Personally speaking, it's good if you go back in the description and annotate your references or something. Throws a bone to people who don't get it without sapping the fun out of it for people who did.

Oh my goodness. I can't believe I didn't give my like to this video the first time I watched it nearly a year ago!! This has to be one of my favorite videos from The Librarian. This map is so unique, I love it! (and I don't even play Gmod, I just watch videos about it) The very idea of a magical elevator that takes you randomly to different worlds that can be either silly, weird or downright scary sounds like something that Gravity Falls would come up with! In fact, now that I think about it, it feels like a smaller version of Infinity Train, just replace the train with an elevator and there you have it.

[@an-average-box]

Your such a unique KZbinr, you've never made a bad video keep up the great work librarian
