GMOD VR: Growing Map (Delightfully Weird) 

Oh my god thank you so much for playing my map!! Updated the maps page for clarification.. Is it ok with you if I add your video to the page? Also nice to see you got the rare spawn that's right next to two jumpscares

"Growing" was a social project turned into a map. People could ask the creator of the map to add something to the map in the comments, and they'd do so, constantly updating it (or growing it.) until the event time is over. I found it when it was still new on the workshop.

The Room you enter at 7:10 looks like one of the first Rooms in Doom, which explains the ammo you found there

This reminds me of a stick figure animation community project from way back then before Hyun's Dojo even existed. The idea is that a character will go through a series of interconnected rooms each animated by a different person. It was interesting to see how the difference on an artist's take on something can provide something new to the main idea.

1:08 holy crap i never thought a human face as a gmod decal could scare more than any horror game ever has, that made my soul jump out of my body i aint even joking

1:37 Did this man just lean up against a virtual wall?

Comfort NPCs are a whole mood.

This map was great. And you know what's amazing? Librarian never found the source of those explosions, and never went down the dark hallway at the beginning. There's more map.

Growing Map is, from what I remember when it first appeared on the workshop, a map created by one person, who ported other people's rooms into it. Basically: it's a map collaboration, but people created their own rooms and stuck them together.

1:35 I like how you put your hand against the wall even though you were probably just hovering it irl lmao

If you freaked out that badly over kleiners lab alone, you should try playing some other HL2 maps in gmod VR. They work perfectly aside from the vehicle levels.

36:40 my favourite part of the entire video

As soon as he walked into the pitch black room at the very beginning of the video I got a mint mobile ad where Ryan Reynolds appears in a pitch black room with only a flashlight illuminating his face. Truly the scariest part of the video so far.

Man you made my day, i love your video!!!. 04:12 And the npc reaction when you throw a middle finger, he look to his friends like "wtf this dude think his doing".

4:26 Librarian after two heart attacks in first 3 minutes of playing the map and having 2 annoying npcs go with him: *hello?🥺* God I love this map

5:42 Literally, you spawned in right where ALL of the jumpscares were located. XD

Dear Mr. Librarian, Thank you for sacrificing your heart, mind, and soul for our amusement. Love, Your subscribers

"Comedic moments like that" points at pyramid obama.

I like how you accidently flipped off the citizens near the start.

Dev: just adding stuff people ask him to add Librarian: this all feels like a weird dream

that part with garfield in the padded cell reminds me of the flash horror game where garfield goes into the scary mansion :D

"Not only are these disconnected spaces like we've seen in other liminal space maps but..." "Obamer?"

I think this map broke him, one moment we had our calm, all be it, scared Liberian. After three back to back scares, he embraced the madness, taking comfort in the man who scared him, the man who isn't scared, the man who gives him ammo: A Man Made OK ...I think this map broke more than our Liberian...

10:02 I think I was the guy who asked for this room (or something very similar), just checked, it wasn't me BUT. "Add a room with Mario 64 infinite stairs effect leding to a compilation of everyone who took part in this" -Me, 15 of December.

This was a great video to watch, got a few laughs from it especially the part where you were talking about liminal spaces then just immediately cut-off by the sight of the obama prop.

Librarian: "Friendship Cactus!" Zombie: *grunts* OOOooooh Librarian: "you'll eat it when you're ready" Zombie: "ALRIGHT!" that is the wholesome moment tho lmao

Cactus sighting timestamps: note: I probably didn't get all of them but I got most. 5:23 - The Librarian and the Cactus meet for the first time 8:22 - I didn't notice it at first but there's a Cactus beneath the glass on the floor 8:34 - Garfield asylum room Cactus 9:14 - Room suggestions room Cactus 10:05 - Portal Cactus (assuming the cactus is in the test chamber) 10:22 - Empty waiting room Cactus 11:00 - The Librarian gets revenge on the cactus 12:47 - Cactus in the living room 12:56 - Dark room Cactus 13:20 - Cactus on the couch 13:50 - Cactus on top of the wall (honorable mention: Obama pyramid) 14:14 - Traffic Cactus 14:41 - Deathrun Cactus 15:35 - Gmod Museum room Cactus 17:10 - Don't ask room Cactus 17:48 - Interrogation Room Cactus (assuming it's behind/under the table 17:55 - I think there's a cactus on the table but too hard to tell 18:05 - Pool Cactus 18:46 - Locker room Cactus 21:28 - Giant elevator Cactus 22:27 - Infinite hole room Cactus 23:18 - Toilet hallway Cactus 24:11 - Box room Cactus 25:39 - Comment room Cactus 26:27 - SCP facility Cactus 26:54 - Fight Club Cactus 27:20 - H room Cactus 33:04 - Shooting range Cactus 35:00 - Dr.Kleiner's Cactus p.s. did The Librarian ever go through that door at 13:58 on the right?

I love how the map is just so weird and random

You thought your commentary wasn't on point, though fun fact, your normal live reactions are exactly what we love. Never feel bad about not being as formal as usual.

I found this RU-vid channel after trying to search for “The librarian ghost” from ghostbusters. I think this is my new favorite RU-vid channel, and I found it by accident lol. It is so refreshing to have a RU-vidr to watch who keeps it calm and quiet. It seems like every single RU-vidr nowadays screams into the camera, has sponsors everywhere, flashy screen pop ups. You keep it super chill, I like that. Definitely gonna be watching every new video when they come out. This channel really brings me back to how videos were back in the early years of RU-vid.

The scared hello at 4:27 made me laugh

At 7:20 I straight away recognised it as the part to your left at the very start of e1m1 of doom 1. With the stairs leading up and the two pillars

I like how Cactus was a running gag for the rooms.

I'm genuinely surprised there wasn't a single garden gnome anywhere given the mix of creepy labyrinths and random yet humorous situations like the infinite Combine vs Zombie fight . Unless ofc you may have missed a special trigger or easter egg of some kind that reveals one looming over the skybox as the final hours theme from Majoras Masks starts playing and it slowly descends onto the map (Not that anything very specific like that is there at all). Oh and I also see a black eyed baby on the texture of the miniature gm_flatgrass model.

The room at 19:37 is my suggestion for the map. What’s happening is Barney gives you the beer he owes you but if you take it, he’ll disappear with the beer as in like he steals the beer you deserved.

The way your voice cut off before you said "Obamer?" Made me rewind twice because it was funnier than it should have been

We're gonna take them by surprise- *"Freeman, Ammo!"* *brshc*

My brain pumps out like 4 months worth of dopamine whenever I see one of these exploration videos

"I'm not going to get trolled by this map." Proceeds to walk into never ending elevator.

Somehow watching these videos is more immersive than actually playing those maps/games. The presence of someone who's constantly giving insightful thoughts on what we're both seeing helps me pay more attention, I think. I barely notice that almost an hour has gone by. Keep it up dude, you do some awesome work!

5:51 that is worse than the room full of zombies. Those guys are Combine. They hunt Freeman in half life 2 so their bad news

Being terrified of Gaben's face was absolutely incredible. A true highlight of this video.

*walks into playground* "Obamer?" 13:50

As a wise man once said, "Freeman, Ammo!"

I'm so glad to see Librarian having fun killing a platoon of Combine and dying over and over, just enjoying himself in the weirdest set of maps ever to exist in Gmod, such a pleasant change from his usually so descriptive and sad state and almost visible rage (Vivo) and jumpiness.

32:54 He shoots that combine soldier with a rocket and the combines gun flies at him and he picks it up, talk about an action movie shot.

13:56 made me lose my mind, I’ve been admitted into an insane asylum, so thanks

When seeing the name of this map I thought of so many other maps with this similar concept, but one in particular was astoundingly cool, a map that would randomly generate itself! I forgot the name but examples like this, are present! And I thought that it could work! not for VR due to the random value, but still possible

Plot twist: You only explored a tenth of the map

I get a LOT of doom vibes from this map, from a smidge of the beginning of E1M1 at around 7:30, to alot of the more lighthearted terry traps that the game had to offer... Though the level has horror elements to it,

this feels like the kind of weird map that id make in a rainy saturday

I remember suggesting a room for this map. It didn't get in, but I still love the map.

Love the agency between the atmosphere and scripts with the enviroment and charecters. Connects with the gameplay situations and personifications.

I played this map last year, and I nocliped. It's randomly generated. Or at the very least, it was when I played it. The rooms are in a random order. Oh, and I know that you missed some stuff. There were at least a few things I remember finding that you didn't. Let's just say that there's entrances and exits other than doors...

25:23 * slowly applauds * brilliant

Something about watching VR exploration is so appealing to me compared to real exploration. You never know what to expect in a virtual environment. One minute you could be walking calmly down the road and the next thing you know you're teleported to the 7th level of hell.

you should try gm_boreal, it’s a really big map with alot of detail, just don’t stop in the vents

I think this map uses multiple different forms of scares. Flat out cheap jumpscares, and random events that could be considered jumpscares, but werent meant to be, ambient creepiness, and other things.

You know if I had never found this channel I would have never found out about all of these cool GMod maps that The Librarian has played whether in VR or pancake mode.

Room times: Simple walkways with features, (30 seconds or more) Rooms with ambience/moving parts, (1-2 minutes) Corridor access points, (2-3 minutes) Main rooms I.E, beginning, (4-5 minutes)

Here’s something you could do, you can explode the cross in the church room in the sewers, a surprise will happen, and also jump through the missing texture sign

the beginning of the video had a severe lack of safety glock

Very clever move there in the backrooms at 27:45, following the left wall instead of wandering aimlessly

OMG that guy that keep giving you ammo at the begining is killing me lmfao

4:26 That is legitimately the most terrified “Hello?” I’ve ever heard in my life

This one really does tear you away, into different directions. Thanks for sharing this. :)

Only 15 views? This video deserves more

Your videos are amazing dude. Vr gives gmod such an... uncanny realistic vibe. Still, it's super cool to watch you explore (I used to dream of exploring my favourite games myself when I was a kid and this brings back memories).

The leg room comment did it for me. I cant even. 10/10 pun.

Finding this VR exploration series inspired me to go ahead and try out VRmod as well. It really surprised me with how easy it was to get working, and I haven't experienced any real technical issues from it. The only complaint I really have is that going up and down stairs makes me violently ill, and I have to close my eyes until I get to the top or bottom of them. I wish there was an option to smooth them, so they act more like a ramp, rather than bumping me up and down with every step. Also, there's a mod that adds some vr hands-on functionality to the Half Life 2 pistol and SMG. It's called "Catse' VR Guns", by, you guessed it, Catse. You can reload it by hand, cock it, that kind of stuff. The only issue I have with it is that it makes opening doors with the left hand a bit of a faff because you don't have to reach for your belt to grab a mag. You just kind of press the trigger and it appears in your off hand. I'm using a Quest 2, though, so it might be different for you. I know the patented Safety Glock is nice, and comforting, but there's something to be said for the immersion of having to reload it the "proper" way. And I know you're all about immersion.

Imagine waking up in VR unknowningly and just are in this map, it really would feel like a fever dream till you realize you're wearing VR gear.

this dude could do just like a qna and i could fall asleep his voice is just so calming

I think that if you pick up all of the cactus in each room. That is also an Ester Egg. 13:49 The Kids Playground you could have checked in VR by trying to grab the Monkey Bars or the Swing or the Slide. 18:06 You could have tried to swim in the pool. 20:13 The locked door where the random dancing guy is in the hallway. You could have used No Clip Cheat to see what is locked inside. 20:26 The Room that looked like an Infinite hallway, maybe doesn’t go forever. 23.25 the baby doll on the floor you could have picked up. 24:15 The Room full of boxes/crates has doors in front of the door that you opened and on the left and right side. 25:22, the room with the Zombie Legs has maybe 4 hidden doors. 29:13 The 7 GMen Room! T-Post You could have tried to touch any of them to see if they would talk or move. 30:14 The Armory Room with the H.E.V. Suit. You didn’t walk close to the walls with the weapons on it. 34:58 Doctor Kleiner’s Lab. Behind The Teleporter there was 2 Double Doors that you didn’t try to check out. 37:09 Outside. You could have tried to walk on water. Which was your favorite room?

23:40 one of the coolest things. Far away war and chaos while your in a expanse of nothing, while feeling safe from danger. The eeriness.

I would love if you do more weird maps like this!

This was awsome btw.. THIS MAN COULD DO A KILLER KERMIT THE FROG IMPRESSION!

I love how this isn't even a horror map, but he thinks it is, moreover he is sure it is, making it so.

i think the cacti serve as markers for what are community made rooms and which are the spaces added inbetween to link them together

The shotgun ammo was a reference to the beginning to the ultimate doom, where you got the shotgun

Btw, by playing in VR you kinda lost the little tid-bit from the map- on chat it shows you the names of rooms and who contributed them. And there is also a second Growing Map that got finished like... month or so ago, hope you gonna check it out :3

new librarian vid s the perfect way to start off the evening

It's all fun and games until you get a GABEN! Speechless haha!

1:09 I JUMPED OUT OF MY SKIN LMAO, I wasn't expecting that considering I haven't been subjected to a jumpscare in YEARS.

You should do the backrooms horror map, it has levels 0-6 and a reference to another liminal space you've seen.

holy shit, I completely forgot I watched this, came back maybe a year later and was fucking terrified by the sudden jumpscares at the start. I got so used to seeing the usual warning in the beginning of the video for jumpscares and the like, but since this one is older, there wasn't any so I wasn't expecting any jumpscares.

Watched this while blazed out of my mind a couple months ago One of my favorite memories on this channel

this was the craziest one yet! this is definitely one of my favorite episodes now, seeing how quickly it could go to funny and wacky to genuinely terrifying worked so well with your commentary

There's a addon called "Campaign mod" it is a gamemode which disables cheats, enables hev suit function and permits weapons you are only meant to have. It's very usefull for roleplay, campaign or scary maps where you need immersion instead of having the firepower of 4 Somalian drug lords and the abilities of a orgy of super villains.

22:27 this is my suggestion :D so cool seeing it in one of my most favorite youtubers video

If you haven't already, look up Skeleton Creek, its a transitional-kid to teenager creepy book series that has passwords to a website at the end of every chapter. These passwords can be put into a search engine and they show you a video. Basically one of the characters records videos and those videos often contain something creepy, and get the characters deeper into trouble with their parents/authority. Its written in the form of diary entries. I think you would absolutely love it and the videos would be a great addition to the channel

nice, i was just looking for a new video and boom! here it is, love your stuff dude!

what was horrible that I saw in that traffic section was a vehicle moving on its own without a driver (like being driven by a ghost)

That first scare is just terrible. It's literally a JPEG approaching you.

The firefight with the 50 combine had me laughing so much, it made my chest hurt

survival instinct was rly fun, I think ppl just had high expectations bc TWD had a lot of hype at that time.

the first jump-scare made me skip to like half way in the video LOL

Remember the room where it looked like it was being torn into 2 pieces? if you enter the door at the end of that room it brings you into a graveyard. if you shoot the G in the Graveyard sign a little secret will happen. (use a shotgun when breaking it that should insta break it)

1:10 was a shitpost jump scare and I love that you still jumped at it lmao

Best VR Series On RU-vid

i love how you overthink everything.
