The Lonely Side of Gmod Maps 

The minimal editing, the soft-spoken-kinda voice, I think these two simple components combined make for a perfect digital exploration channel. I am really looking forward to seeing what more you dive into in the future.

leaving another comment, this one isn't for engagement i just genuinely wanted to say i love the "could someone survive in this Gmod map?" thought experiments, it's such a fun way to engage logically with these otherwise completely illogical spaces

"it's funny to sell crack to 12 year olds" -Logan from earth, 2024

I've watched all of your videos now and you are already shaping up to be one of my favorite channels, these videos remind me a lot of The Librarian but even more laid back.

i dont know what else to say other than sitting down, grabbing something to eat and watching one of these videos is one of the best feelings ever, love this stuff dude

I CLEANED MY CATS WATER BOWLS WHILE WATCHING THIS

Logan: There will be no auditory jumpscares, your ears are safe. Me: Oh no!! There surely will be visual jumpscares!

Just watched this on a train on my way home from Chicago, it added to the liminal transit experience. Loved this vid as much as the last. My favorite part? The moment with the skeleton sitting in the chair, who looks to the melon, then looks back.

The moment that really grabbed my in your last gmod video is the part where you imagined if you could survive in the map. That is such a relatable action that i've never heard anybody say in a completely fictional spot.

When I heard "take an edible" you immediately gained my sub bro

This video is like The Librarian, but wacky maps instead of dark and gritty. I love this, PLEASE make more!

Whenever I opened an rp map that’s meant to be populated, I always think it’s really early in the morning and i’m the first person to show up in town, especially when south side came out. And famous rp maps like evocity, amsterville, downtown and paralake always felt loaded with nostalgia, especially now walking through them on singleplayer.

you deserved that last vid popping off. it was incredible and I'm so hyped to watch this one edit: it was amazing. youre the coziest guy. i love how youre just a vibey, positive, genuinely chill presence in a time when the internet is RULED by over the top overstimulation. please never stop creating

I recently logged onto an rp server and was a hobo living in the police station’s walls, making gremlin noises and eating people who got arrested. Might go back and do it again someday, it’s fun to see people’s reaction when you’re being weird.

I found this video last night before going to bed but I thought it was gonna be creepy so I saved it for later. Damn, wishing I watched it then. The chill vibes and smooth voice would have done wonders for my insomnia. The fact that you go out of your way to say there’s no audio jump scares AND you dim the video for the bright portions is 1000% appreciated. I never got to play gmod when I was a kid but always wanted to. It’s really cool to see some of that history and liminal vibes through this video. Can’t wait to see what else you’ll post in the future!

empty semi-realistic GMod maps are my favorites to boot up and just vibe in. there's this cool mountain cabin one I have with snow and rain variants that is perfect for just chilling. and especially fun for zombie invasion stuff. one night I got so caught up in the vibes I was up way later than I planned lol

I use to play on this server named EQF which was a non-darkRP like RP server, no grind, no functional way to kill another player, just solid RP. They used a few different maps, but for most of my time there it used EVO city (And another named Rockford v2), and honest to fuck... I think evo city is effectively a second home to me. I had well over 2500 hours in that server.

This is an incredible video. Your commentary and editing style was very comforting and entertaining but also somehow fit the content of the video very well.

I adored your commentary during this one, felt like 5 mins but somehow almost 3/4 of an hour had passed just listening to you. Utterly incredible work, can't wait to see what you do next!

just about to watch this video. so happy you made another one!! loved the first gmod video. hope you keep making content.

RP maps tend to be very very large, relatively detailed, and on a room to room basis quite empty. This is to allow as much possibility for player and server customization as possible and give people tons of space to do whatever.

God these videos are fantastic. I absolutely adore your way of observing the seemingly mundane and I am so excited to see more from you.

i love watching your commentary on these maps, its so fun and interesting and it feels like someone actually doing a documentary on strange places, hope you do more like these!

I really love that "aesthetically right, functionally wrong" take on the feeling hl2 asset spaces evoke - for me, I always imagined spaces like these are what an alien intelligence would produce trying to be accommodating to an otherwise trapped 21st century person, factually understanding what human structure looks like but failing to capture the more, like, esoteric, friendly, and well, human aspects of stuff made by humans. Something meant to offer a feeling of security that just misses the mark because what made it can't quite understand what it feels like, so it just feels uncanny. Sometimes peaceful, sometimes entrapping, but always uncanny.

50 thousand people used to live here, now it's a ghost town

servers with pac3 were one of my favorite servers to join, just because of some of the creativity that people had using that mod.

i love the way you're able to create interesting and fun videos without needing to be over the top or loud. definitely an underrated channel

I once played on this HL2RP server named Combine Control. Basically, you'd be doing slice-of-life roleplay from the perspective of everyone in HL2 that isn't the main characters: the citizens, the Combine forces, the rebels, etc... So I'm sitting in my dingy ass apartment cooking bleach-based drugs to later try and sell to the citizens, so I can earn a couple bucks. I leave the building, three jugs of the stuff in my inventory, and all of a sudden I get approached by a player in a Civil Protection uniform, who proceeds to take me aside for questioning. I then panicked and _consumed everything I had on me_ to make sure they find nothing to arrest me for. Well, turns out they were a rebel in disguise looking for potential recruits, and I freaked out for nothing. The recruiter later left me in that street corner, while I was suffering a major stunlock from the entire periodic table burning through my system. It lasted for like two or three minutes.

This channel is a gem, gotta binge watch all the videos now

This is definitely my favorite kind of video genre on yt by far. I've also watched your other stuff since my last time commenting and that's some good stuff! I'm happy to see whatever comes next :^)

I love the whole comforting & laid back documentation vibes. *"We shall watch your career with great interest."*

I got high as hell and came back to this vid and man you have the best vibes on youtube right now dude. i absolutely love just chillin and exploring with you also nice job finding the cow room

I love this kind of video so much! Very much hoping to see more, your narration and commentary are fantastic.

NEVER apologize for longer videos please!! so long as you're having fun and enjoying and aren't doing it to fill a quota and straining yourself, the longer videos are always welcomed!

Keep up the awesome work dude! Can't wait to see more from you.

This is a really weirdly comforting video ty for uploading!!

Your voice is really soothing. It makes me think of what has happened in these maps. What you say influenced some of the things I thought but I mostly had my own thoughts

These videos are so oddly comforting, they make me wish there were more content like that on RU-vid. You sir are innovating here. It might be a niche thing, but it's my thing regardless, and I enjoyed. If you do make more content like this, I'll be on the look out. And thx for warning about this video not having any jumpscares. It puts my mind at ease and into the mood to watch a video like this.

i love this so much, this guy makes gmod so real and down to earth

Hell yeah I'm glad asf to see your channel blow up, great video again!

Every now and again youtube will recommend a random channel’s video, and today they did not disappoint. I look forward to seeing your videos in my recommendations more often😁

Please do more, this is literally the best content i've seen for months 💀

I'm really glad that the algorithm just slapped me with your channel. As many others have said, the laid back vibes from the editing and narration are definitely something that resonates with me. Not only that, but the whole idea of exploring Garry's Mod maps in general is something that was almost kind of therapeutic for me, and it's pretty damn cool to listen to your thought experiments about the survivability of certain maps, I'm sure it's something that I'll be noticing a lot more on my own journeys around the gmod workshop lol. The little cinematic footages are also great. If you are willing to make another video or even start a whole series, I'm all for it, and I'd like to suggest a really tiny map that I've explored a few days ago called "zs_lens", really reminds me of the last map shown in the video. Also, if all the warmth I've gotten weren't enough, the Sunlit Earth track from SOTC at the end is a real bonus :)

This might be my new favorite channel keep the good work up man I’m loving it

I like the videos because I can see the creative thought put into them, I like that you think and experience the maps the way you want to and share it with us in the most simple way possible.

I ADORE your channel!! I'm soooo happy I found it! I LOVE liminal spaces, but your content is so perfect because it just goes through these maps with so much thought behind it! Just subscribed and I'm really happy I did. Thank you so much and much love from Latin America!

I absolutely love these vids dude, I hope you make more

Dude, I love these videos.

This channel is so nice, i can't wait to see what you have planned for the future. :3 Thank you so much for these lovely videos.

Great vibes man, great vibes. You've definitely found a win-win-win formula here. ^^ Looking forward to more.

Love your content dude, cant wait to see your channel blow up!

Thank you for making another one!!! Love the stuff

Great voice, perfect amount of editing, good jokes -- I hope you go far!

Just discovered your channel, LOVE this content. Keep it up man.

I cannot believe you have under 10k subs, your videos are SO good. I can't wait to see what maps you explore next. Definitely saving these for when I'm battling insomnia, too.

These videos are so... comfy.

I've really been enjoying these GMod Exploration videos. Very relaxing and quite tremendous! I would not mind seeing more of these at all.

That Evo City map was my most favorite RP map ever, and even just messing around on the map in single player and exploring everything and imagining all of the RP potential was really fun for me. It's really nice to see it again, it brings back so many memories.

I genuinely like your personality and editing style, you earned a sub and I will watch your career with great interest ;)

Holy shit another one! I will keep watching these as long as you keep making them.

In one dark RP server: A *dude* with a small PM of an anime character tried getting my attention, and I made the mistake of letting my guard down and giving them my attention. Apparently the guy had an accomplice (also with the same anime girl PM) who snuck up behind me and knocked me out while I was distracted. By time I regained consciousness, I find out that I’ve apparently been dumped into the sewers… Long story short: I got knocked out and abducted by anime girls, and I got dumped into the sewers before regaining consciousness. Only in Garry’s Mod

Really glad you made another one of these video i was hoping you would

Phenomenal video. Your commentary is both insightful and entertaining and gives a lot of interesting perspective on the maps as well as inviting further thought on them. As always, it's refreshing to see such a casual yet thoughtful exploration of Garry's Mod content, and to have such a long duration is an absolute treat. This was a pleasure to watch.

I really enjoyed the more cinematic sequences in this one! That shot of you sitting on a bench at 30:15 really stuck with me for some reason, it has some great wallpaper potential.

I was recommended your previous gmod video it was great and this one is awesome too I love gmod I've played gmod most of my life and you explore maps like I do keep up these awesome content

for evocity, people called the massive high rise with the resident evil basement the nexus. it was commonly used as the police/government building, at the top was where the mayor sat. It was so fun sitting at the top of that tower of doom as mayor.

Bro, glad you got some traction. I was here when you put your first video on Accursed Farms subreddit. Keep it up.

Legitimately popped off when seeing this video show up in my subscriptions feed.

Nearly 3k hours on GMOD and probably 2/3rds in DarkRP. Most of which running my own servers at 13-16 years old. I could tell you endless stories.

Huge square paintings always make me want to jump inside… I have been banned from multiple museums already !

Found you through your last video and I also loved this one. Have a nice day:D.

This video is amazing, the soft spoken voice the minimal editing, it all comes together perfectly, no offence but I could probably fall asleep to this video, great job

I agree with the others. I love the “can you survive/live on this map?” It takes weird places and makes them feel cozy in a way. Like I imagine someone rearranging furniture, collecting the water & food, making a daily routine, etc. reminds me of the youtuber Pretzel who has a series about surviving in video games like Mario 64 & ocarina of time.

i find it quite surprising that you havent played through any of the map entries in the voidplaces series yet, those are great and id love to see them get more attention anyway great video, introduced me to some nice maps, and the thought experiment is great too

I really love the cinematography when you do third-person camera shots, especially the hypothetical sequence about the secret lab.

That livability thought is one of my main obsessions with liminal spaces. I hunt for liminal spaces in vr and one of my main things is looking for the main necessities for survival food, water, and and anything that could be used as a bathroom. the potential to survive and thrive in a space made by something that sees human structure but doesn't place said structures in a human manner is a utterly satisfying thought for me.

Making my mark so people know I’m an OG when you blow up

I haven't played gmod in a while, but I used to play it almost every week with my friends. I don't really have any friends that play it anymore so its mostly collecting dust in my steam library. But every once in a while I like to boot it back up and just explore old maps while listening to music. Its an interesting experience, it feels like a whole different game if you just treat it like a walking sim lol

Another masterpiece, I loved both videos

i remember seeing one of the first proto/primagens in a mlp dark rp server like years before they became popular. They were magenta and cyan with combine props and sounds

Very nice, enjoyed the commentary keep it up.

Take this as a compliment, your voice is perfect to fall asleep too.

another great video i just love it

Hey man, just wanted to say this is great stuff and that your channel size is just absolutely *criminal.* Love the vibes, will totally take an edible to one of these sometime like you suggested lol

Your scripting, tone of voice, vibes: excellent

thanks for high quality content

You remind me of "Any Austin" who does oddly-accurate reviews on how employed each city is in videogames like Skyrim. He goes in-depth with a calm and non-chalant voice and picks at little details in a positive way and always tries to find interesting little things about the games he reviews, even though most people ignore those stuff.

16:50 The skeletons' reaction to You breaking that unidentified geometrical object made Me giggle with tears

I love all the edits to the skeleton player model!

My favorite Gmod RP story was on this DarkRP server that had zombies on the map (not zombie rp). I was a money printer, and the cops heard about my operation, and so I shot the one cop they sent to my apartment and grabbed my money printer and got the hell out of dodge. I ran through the wasteland and found another abandoned town, and thanks to the printer, was able to fence it in and turn it into a safe place. Some bandits, other money printers, and other criminals flocked to this city and after a while we had so much money we armed like 6 people with M9K miniguns, and marched back to the main city where we raided the police precinct.

Doll house remind me to that slenderman game where you need to find notes in a monochromatic town

HE UPLOADS! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Glad to see more from you, man. I like your content. :) Also EvoCity is still somewhat active, although to a lesser extent compared to a few years back. Last time I played a DarkRP server it was on EvoCity, and me and my buddies started a melon syndicate.

I would exclusively play gmod in single player or with at most one other person. Making deathmatch/survival maps was my bread and butter

This was awesome!

Oh man, when it comes to DarkRP I've got so many stories and memories. From around 2014 to 2016 me and my friends frequented one specific server pretty much daily. We varied in our career choices, but the most lucrative was being the kingpins of drug trafficking in the town. Eventually the server fell to hackers, we got bored of gmod, and that was the end. Haven't been on darkrp since probably 2017. Lots of good times though for staying up til 2am on a school night selling drugs.

Thank you for being my RU-vid trip sitter

this bro tells you to get high before you start. Okay, I'm subscribing lol. also yes, gmod maps are lonely, beautiful, and liminal edit: how do you not have more subs? your so chill. I love it.

24:42 - I think this is a reference to Douglass Adams’ So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, as there’s a character in that book that realizes the world has gone mad and decides to build the Outside Of The Asylum, which is an inside-out house that is decorated to “soothe” the “inmates” (those living in the outside world) of the Asylum.

I got this video recommended to me after watching a video by The Librarian. You guys actually have somewhat similar chill vibes.

You've hit a niche and promptly found your stride. I appreciate the cinematic-style scenes you put in. You help put the 'R' in 'RP' for this video. I'm a bit hopeful to see your channel grow and how you adapt your videos over time
