GMOD VR: Exploring rp_NYCity 

You know it's gonna be an epic night when Duke Nukem is the cab driver.

Duke Nukem being a cab driver is quite possibly the most Gmod thing I have ever heard

I like how Duke Nukem gave hella lore, and Librarian just ignored it and tried to feel up his muscles, lol

Duke Nukem showing up in a beat up taxi cab out of nowhere, before coming to a screeching halt looks like a cutscene ripped straight out of Duke Nukem: Forever

trying to feel up the cab drivers muscles was hilarious lol

the "empty but distantly inhabited city" aesthetic is something pulled off extremely well by both Silent Hill 3 and Cry of Fear

It’s crazy to believe a map of this scale and detail was possible in Gmod, especially when most of us grew up playing rp_downtown, I can imagine this place bursting with people with cars and helicopters and in all those streets and little stores in one of those 50-75 slot servers like that used to exist a few years ago…

this has to be the first time he's interacted with another person in a map.

The taxi driver asking you if you've ever seen "door opens" in subtitles at night, then speeding off. I would've quit

Matthew as Duke Nukem was absolutely brilliant hahah

I genuinely think that RP_NYCity_Day is way better. It has such a nice feeling, like a cold day in 2000 New York City. This is my favorite Garry's Mod map, actually, just source map in general. The amount of detail and love put into this map is surreal, there are times where the map looks like Grand Theft Auto IV, whilst there are other times (mostly in in-closed space) where it looks like GTA V

0:02 wake up Mr freeman wake up and smell the ashes

Duke Nukem as a taxi driver was the last thing I expected to see in a Librarian Gmod video

44:37 The Librarian trying to get a grasp of Duke's muscular arms made me laugh too hard in the middle of the night

"Every night, all night, every night, only night, no day" Duke Nukem got dem poem with rhymes aye

I swear librarian deserves more subs this man is golden when it comes to content : ) edit: thanks for the likes I've genuinely never had this many. :)

29:51 As an Italian, this statement is hurting my Italian soul. Tomato sauce is basically what most of the Italian food is made of.

For some reason any NYC map with the old WTC just feels a lot more New Yorky.

VR RP in this city... on a mass scale would be breath taking

The map starts on a moving train, im already intrigued 😂

there is a alien isolation movement tracker device that I think adds a ton of creepy atmosphere. most of the time the display stays empty but if a creator placed a moving npc somewhere and the tracker suddenly starts detecting it's so eerie

Your Voice is so suiting for being a narrator, And your videos are interesting. Keep up the good work, man!

Libraian: "Don't walk? Well that sign can't stop me because I can't read" Also the Libarian: "You guys said in the comme-"

22:14 That's definitely the alley that the bouncers would throw you out into for trying to get into the VIP area, because that's where the mob boss and his crew would hang out.

My friend connected his laptop to the TV and played this map with a Chuck McGuill Nextbot and it was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced

Bro it's almost 2am here and I was like "since I have my chores to do I better find something to watch" and this was the first thing that popped on the main page. I absolutely love your timing

I've always thought what it would be like to be the last human alive and explore a city all on my own and this will definitely scratch that itch :)

I absolutely love the Deus Ex vibes. The Dojo @ 1:14:10 reminded me of the one where Morpheus trained Neo. Upstairs boardroom reminded me of Pierce & Pierce where they showcased business cards. Very 2000's. There are so many stories and thoughts that occur when exploring such a place. This mod is a masterpiece.

I am definitely extremely impressed by this map! “ GMOD VR: Exploring rp_NYCity” A few places that you didn’t go in that I’m sure are open areas. The Twin Towers and The Statue of Liberty. Also, you didn’t check inside of the river if your character in VR can swim. But other than that. What an awesome amazing looking map on Gerry’s Mod. Whoever the Developers of this map is. They did a really excellent job. All it’s missing is AIs and Vehicles. Other than Duke Nukem as a Taxicab Driver. That was hilarious to see. Duke getting lost driving you from point A to point B.

Now this is gunna be awesome, I've had literal DREAMS of this map cause of how much I enjoyed it

The hilarity of the guest appearance being weird duke nukem XD

My man duke nukem really pulled up in a cab. You should include these kind of scripted player encounters in some of your exploration maps

going through a really tough time rn and im so grateful to have your content to help comfort me. your voice and personality and commentary are all just really comfy and makes things feel less bad, even if just a little. thank you

librarian's voice is genuinely so relaxing to me for some reason

Oh heck yeah, two videos in one day! Plus, this map has been a looooong time coming.

That intro with the train driving off and Librarian saying "...rpNewYorkCity" perfectly timed was just so cool

Thank you for another long video for us to get enveloped in.Also thank you whoever made this map if you’re here in the comments

I used to walk everywhere on my own time, in gta4 just to explore little nooks and crannies. Urbex the destroyed buildings, for the most part I don't know if the ghosts that harm you in the decrepit sprunk factory actually would hurt you but it was fun to test myths in that game, creepy and comfy have a place in that game. And wow, having recently gone to New York, Time square looks spot on in this map!

The saddest thing is that I can never watch these videos for the first time again 😮‍💨

Almost 2 hours of the Librarian?, HELL YEAH!

Having occasional cameos in videos is actually really neat! Should try fitting some more in on occasion.

Compare to the Union City and Southside, this one is a combination of 2 twos. I like that 90's vibe including the part where i could see the original WTC before 9/11, the daylight version seems to be much better with better visual and shaders

That map seems to be filled with easter eggs and hommages. 1:06:14 definitely gave me vibes of the chinese place from kill bill, though it lacks the multi-story layout. Also a little bit from the first map of the first hitman game, though more in general style than actual layout 1:36:26 is the entrance hallway from the matrix showdown, only without the metal detectors.

I have been longing for you to review this map, and the wait has been worth it. I didn’t even realize I was watching an almost 2 hour long video. And a few things to note; the US government building you entered is actually labeled as the Men In Black Headquarters on steam page as you stated when you were in the elevator. Though you did miss a few buildings such as the Crackhouse, I understand, it’s a big map and you just can’t get everything. RP_NYCity is a great map for Roleplay and I can’t wait to see servers using it if they aren’t already. Edit - Jan. 2024: I just realized there are bridge controls, THERE ARE BRIDGE CONTROLS. ITS LIKE A LIFT BRIDGE.

This map is a lot of fun when me and my friend play on it, we like to drive around in the GTA 4 simfphys cars and try to escape from the Recklessly driving Kleiners, they are pretty terrifying when theres a lot of them trying to chase you down in these big streets and narrow alleyways.

One of my favorite maps! I’ve got a save where I decorated a lot of the places. I snagged one of those swanky lofts as my home, and fully furnished it. It definitely feels like the comfy part of comfy and creepy. I put a bunch of supercomputer cabinets in the blue room atop the Japanese skyscraper-I figure it’s the AI that actually runs Z corporation. In the bank vault, I spawned in a bunch of pallets of money. The new and used car dealerships have cars for sale. I even added donuts to the desks in the police station. I think you found most or all of the interesting places in this map. I absolutely love the night clubs in this series of maps. Lots of RP maps have them, but these ones actually have working DJ booths. Why rob stores and banks when you can just party instead? Oh, and you though it was strange that the hotel rooms didn’t have bathrooms? The MANSION doesn’t have one! Even those squalid tenements have a toilet in each unit to take a dump, but Rich Cashdollar has to go out behind a tree or something.

This map is just amazing!! The detail is amazing! Many of the places on it are reminiscent of places/locations from other maps/games you played on the channel; even the shorter job simulator games. Other places look similar to locations from movies; the vault towards the end reminds me of an Ocean's Eleven movie or some type of movie of that ilk. It looks very familiar. The dojo 1:14:00 *definitely* reminds me of the dojo from The Matrix where Neo first learns to download Kong Fu; it looks similar, certainly the vibe is similar due to the lighting and the geometry of the room. -This was fun, thanks for playing it!

I like how nobody has commented on the use of Max Payne textures and door sounds, along with a few models.

The thing you said about how maps look completely different depending on what you're trying to do reminded me of how a while back I got bored in GTA Online and started riding a BMX bike around the city. I found so many little areas and pathways that were just too tight or rough to be useful for a car.

the amount of times he pulls out a glock when asked for his ID is kinda scary

I feel like duke nukem as a cab driver is just your friend pretending to be an NPC just for entertainment purposes😂😂😂

The construction site and the hospital uses Max Payne 2 assets and textures. I love it.

"You said you've been doing this a long time!" "I never said anything" "True" I'm laughing so hard I'm about to cry omg

29:56 - Well that’s news to me. I’ve always noticed the tomato sauce in pizza; it’s one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.

the librarian’s content style is such an odd and enjoyable experience. i started this channel with the my house.wad video an with each piece i watch it feels like i’m listening to an audiobook. such well made pieces of content and this one is no exception. amazing video, amazing channel

1:32:13 I mean, Duke did say it was always night, no day. So it makes sense that the clock is stopped.

I've been waiting for the Librarian to collaborate with Duke Nukem

19:30 Let me give you my experience with a "psychic". Well, technically, tarot reader, but same thing. So, I was there for business. I was called there while working as a delivery driver for Jimmy John's. This place has been there for as long as I can remember. This is the first time I have ever gone in there, and will likely remain the only time I ever step foot in that business for a variety of reasons. First thing I notice. The overwhelming smell of urine. Oh, she had so many dogs, man. I instantly hated being in there, it stunk so bad. Second thing. I was standing on a covered porch. This was her home. Which leads me to believe she's been there for a while because every other building in this area is commercial property. The lady was nice enough, though. If I am remembering correctly, the tip was also moderately decent. Tarot lady tipped better than the nurses I delivered to, that's for sure lol.

I’ve been awaiting this map to be reviewed by yourself Librarian, glad you got around to it.

I really love this map too, so much RP I did there with my friends (and by myself), good to see a 1 hour video about it from you!

dude you've gotta go driving around in the daytime version of this map its surreal

all the max payne1,max payne2, gta3,gta 4 nostalgia😭😭

God the twins were beautiful, what an iconic skyline

With maps like these, I can't help but subconsciously looking both ways before crossing the street. I guess even a Halo Reach Skirmisher (my preferred player model) must concern themselves with traffic. Never know when a rogue Spartan (or a washed up Duke) might come speeding along and almost run you down. :P

I thought the snacks in the gas station sounded familiar, but when you started reading off the fake magazine titles I knew it for sure- the magazine rack (and probably some other faux-brand assets) is taken from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines! The fake products in that game are incredible, "Coot Ohoculo" for Count Chocula has been living rent-free in my head for years, along with Chin magazine :P

10:03 "well, what are you gonna do about it?" Libby said calmly.

I remember that episode of Courage. For the longest time I thought I just dreamed it up, and I think I did have a dream based on it, so that didn't help. That show always had a dream like feeling to it, like what went on in the mind of that poor anxious dog. I definitely could relate to that as a kid with how severe my anxiety has been until recently

As someone who works in NYC this is so unsettling. I'm all for it

0:00 kinda more amazed on how they made you spawn in a moving object

If i may make a suggestion on a map, i would suggest rp_UnionCity, it is made by the same person who made NYCity and SouthSide, has a functional metro system and would complete the exploration trilogy on all of Fishke's maps

Watching this during a thunderstorm. Also, my dad turned on a walkie talkie to listen to fishermen discuss the storm without telling me, and I was standing alone in my room in the dark and head "thank you" out of nowhere 😅

1:44:37 Did he really just call Bethesda "Batheesda?"

my favorite map since its release, he is more than 1GB and runs perfectly on my celeron notebook lmfao, hes not just giant but also very well optimized and polished

Looking at the sheer expansiveness of the city, I figure the Map would've been perfect for some sort of like Dark Fantasy/Horror type setting. Vampires & Other creatures.

hm, love the half life 1 feels when a game opens with a tram section thru an interesting enviroment. Aside from that, I really love your content; been around for many months now, enjoying most of the gmod explorations, some urban exploring and the From the Fog series as well. Your relaxing voice, commentary and recollections of your experiences are just as good for winding down afer a long day, as game walkthroughs have been years prior. Thank you kindly for so much content, it is very apprechiated. Take care and I hope you don't feel burned out yet. Edit: the good old pop dog billbord gave me a nostalgic smile, I miss 1.6

Has just explored this map recenently and was hoping you would do a video on it, so happy to see you did, great work as always!

19:18 oh! I know someone who is a professional psychic, the way it works, (at least how it did for her) is that there's a business who hires people to be psychics, the psychics themselves don't own it but instead work there, she's not been doing that for a while but iirc she could technically do it whenever she wants

20:46 i was like you WHAT until you explained it was because of john wick

The size and level of details for this Source map is ridiculous. Imagine the amount of hours put in creating it. Crazy.

I wish there was actual good RP on these maps. They have so much incredible detail and cool interactions, with Union City, South Side and this map all combining it could be fun playing all three, but no servers run them

Random thought, but a laserpointer swep would be kinda funny for these videos. Have the flashlight out in dark areas, then whip out the laser pointer when talking about something like you're giving a presentation in a boardroom

I gotta say if anybody else did this type of content i wouldnt watch it, But for some reason this candle man has me hooked

Seeing the WTC is sad and nostalgic at the same time

hell yeah, an urban environment at night is always great to watch!

1:26:00 Oh man I remember once I was playing scp rp and I was hand cuffed to a desk for like an hour in a medical area and for an hour there was this guy doing intensive roleplay surgery on a surgery table with a ragdoll like he was pulling out all types of drugs, diagnosing all types of things like it sounded like he was legitimately doing surgery but the entire time he was looking at a male01 ragdoll

As a person who lives in New York this map is a 9/10 Not enough piles of garbage on the sidewalks for it to be NY

The map looks so cool the fact that every building is 3d modeled is crazy

I'd watch at least seven more of these. Amazing detail on this map too.

perfect map to test my plane mod!

Babe wake up the librarian just dropped a new Gmod VR exploration

This is one of the most detailed gmod maps I've ever seen, it's insane!

I would be careful, especially with how taxing I imagine vr is but background NPC’s is a wonderful mod

A lot of the assets are lifted straight from GTA 4 by the looks of it

I just love the feeling of these maps, this one in particular is just mind blowing

I know what that man references. I play with subtitles and yes I do see a Narative telling me a door has opened when I never touched any doors myself.

I absolutely loved this. This video has made me a subscriber. Also, this map is incredibly cool and large. I was so shocked that you could actually go in the Brownstones. I'd loved wandering this map or seeing it in actual use.

No guns or firearms are permitted The Librairan: BET

"Not quite ready to knock out yet ..." the librarian's a drinker like me lol

Wsg librarian, lately I've been feeling a bit down but ur channel is really cozy and interesting that makes me feel better. Love ur content

this map makes me feel like I was late to a rapture
