Playing Illegal Versions of GMOD

[@cakeeee4]

Those 50 extra maps were all HL2:DeathMatch maps I think. My father spent hundreds of hours playing on that 9/11 map on some community that I think is long dead (If anyone knows of this HL2 Deathmatch community that played the 9/11 map and what happened to it let me know.). It was a free for all deathmatch server that had various weapon spawns all around the map along with invisible ladders on the corners of the towers that could be camped. It was such an interesting map because it turned into a IRC chatroom free for all server that never really restarted often. My father was named Mr. Rodgers on there and had a little soundboard keychain of Mr Rodgers he would play whenever he killed someone a lot.

I think the stories this next wave of people are going to have about their parents playing games like this are going to be very interesting. I played with quite a few people who would talk about their children all the time, and this was about 5-10 years ago, so their kids will likely be commenting like this soon too. It'll be cool to read (and see the art) of these kids whose stories weren't dad playing Mario Kart with them, but rather reflect the popularity of PC gaming and games like this.

I made that modern warfare 2 intervention on toybox when I was 15 or 16. Never thought I would ever hear about it again. I broke either the normal map or the reflection map when I was uploading it and didn't know how to take it down and reupload. It was still a really popular download and I remember it being featured in a post on Garry's personal blog broken textures and all lol. I really miss playing gmod with my friends and making addons around 2010 to 2014

[@firey_icy]

DUDE, The map at 16:36 just sent me WAY back. I only wish I could remember what it was even called.

so do i honestly

What's the map called?

[@HOGANANIMATIONS]

​@@tones3dferretYOU MADE IT?!

[@nekosareamazung843]

I think that one of the biggest things that made gmod so sucessful is the old gmod content creators (yknow DasBoSchit Kitty0706 and the other divine beings) because when you say gmod people like them are the first thing that comes to my mind ALSO HOLY, IM REALLY NOSTALGIC LATELY AND YOU JUST AMPLIFIED IT SO MUCH

[@AverageMichaelJordans]

I recognized a couple addons from the modern Gmod workshop, it's good to know some of those cranky ass addons are still out there, being used by someone

Haha... The nostalgia... Thanks for the video. Everything you said was top notch

[@ketakris]

15:48 "having way too much fun messing around with the intervention from Modern Warfare 2 and shoop-da-whoop'ing Kleiner NPCs" i swear, add teletubbies to that sentence and you would have mostly summed up my entire gmod childhood lmao

[@creamydot3366]

i would sit in my room with the gmod toybox for hours on end man, i recognise so many of these old ass maps too

[@Trameiro]

08:44 this map... I just remembered when I spent all afternoon playing zombie mod 1.0, I think it was 2010. That mod gave weapons by points when hit zombies, never found a server like that again, all the others gave weapons by killing zombies. And I barely remember a nice guy with a nick like "vin p99".

[@Sasha-ff5ce]

all the extended construct maps were by far my favorite. pretty certain they’re the reason i liked liminal spaces so much. those, and playing empty GMOD maps just exploring.

[@shaeshizzle1091]

im really loving the vibe of these recent videos, keep up the great work!!!

[@vadnegru]

My friend were obsessed with GM. He was good at programming in it so he made a casino and had some cut from a owner (of course virtual cash). He later went on to make SAMP UCP and when we actually met he helped me with a gig. He studied for a year and went to work full time (dropping out from uni, obliviously)

[@VAMP1RISMM]

Damn, I remember playing that big flat grass/construct map when I was younger and messing around in Toybox. I miss those days of Gmod Might have to take a chance and find that Toybox Archive for nostalgia’s sake 8:47 - I remember playing that map on the old zombie survival game mode 😭 GOD THIS IS BRINGING BACK SO MUCH

7:48 Alyx: "Nooo" "Gordon" (has that funny Russian sound to it, doesn't it?) "Oh God" The Rebel dude: "I'm sorry?" (idk. I'm not a native. Could be also "sorry" rebels sometimes say when you bump into them in HL2).

[@theepicrandom1681]

Правильней будет Excuse me*

[@RedRender666]

Yeah you're kinda right (i am native)

[@Ksavputin]

i believe, the "excuse me" line is weird because of old botched pirated half-life 2 translation which was witnessed by every russian gamer at the time. maybe the track files were accidentaly "shifted" because tight deadlines (gotta deliver the translation first for some fat ruble stack, you know)

[@KrazyIsHim]

" it was a national tragedy... anyways! CRASHING onto our next game!"

[@chitan1362]

I remember downloading a pirated version of GMOD which was mostly vanilla apart from a naked Alyx Vance.

[@EvilSantaTheTrue]

What did it look like don't say too detail

[@chitan1362]

@@EvilSantaTheTrue It's been more than like 13 years but iirc yeah it was very very detailed lol

[@n00b1n8R]

13:21 - The weird floaty thing is a hoverdrive. It's a wiremod entity that you give a map coordinate to and it teleports itself and anything it's attached to (like your spaceship) to that location. I played with that thing all the time in Spacebuild. My brother made a mingecage with it. So much fun.

[@stealth7225]

I recognize a map where your in a house but from a mouse perspective and there was a rocket launcher in a legit mouse trap so you had to be quick to grab it. Also pretty much every good weapon had some type of trap to it.

[@nothingishere_32421]

i guess garry’s mod will never die, even though there’s no construct 14

7:51 dude literally said "sorry" as if he's making way for Freeman

[@smurgerburger]

You know you could use a virtual machine for something like this.

[@LOLMGS]

7:52 bro said "sorry" after getting murdered. How polite of him

[@MrOmega7109]

That space ship 7:15 was from Stargate: Atlantis. I'm pretty sure it was called a "puddle jumper".

[@PlayerZeroStart]

I never pirated GMod, but I can definitely relate to seeing that $10 price tag as the fence as you watch the other kids play outside. I definitely knew at least vaguely how piracy worked at the time, I had previously done it with Portal 2, but I guess I never realized GMod was a game it could be done with. Makes me wonder how differently my GMod experience would have been shaped had I started with the bootleg.

11:35 this just made me so nostalgic aww

[@JeanneFeisont]

What I miss most about the mid to late 2000's era of Valve gaming, is playing those Half-Life 2 Deathmatch maps where there's a bunch of different doors leading to different puzzles and stuff, and everyone had to try and finish them all to unlock a final level that everyone had to try and beat. Often times it took the server all day to get them all done, and if you were around for that final boss or final death run to the end, you were absolutely blessed because there was no telling when all the levels would get done. There was just something comfy about it.. Everyone was sorta doing their own thing, then sometimes you'd see someone else trying to beat the same level as you. It felt incredibly satisfying to be the one who gets the toaster (I feel like it was a car battery but I always thought it was a toaster) to plug in and solidify the map's step towards being completed. I remember one in particular was a big maze with many Antlion Guardians ready to chase you and destroy you. That one wasn't particularly my favorite but I hella remember it for some reason. I feel like I'll never get the feeling of those old levels ever again...
