TBH the midna tribute is kinda nostalgic to me. See, In Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, a game not much older than GM, we had maps called Trickjump Maps. In these maps, sometimes, you would have the ENTIRE FUCKING MAP plastered in tits and porn. There were also maps with tributes to characters like Midna, even ones that only modified Swia Oasis, Railgun and the other vanilla maps. These maps were ones I found as a kid and while they were extremely confusing, this kinda gives me that same vibe... just, yknow, not on as large of a scale. Shoutout to the many oldschool trickjumpers who blew my mind as a kid, the MLB mapping trio for *many* memories, Grey Matter Interactive and all the old-school mappers from 2003-2009
I've seen similar maps in Killing Floor 2 going as far back as 2018, I joined a random endless server, and the entire map was a single path, plastered with pics from Playboy on the side.
Even CS and TF2 had a ton of maps that were "map, but with wall textures replaced with nsfw" floating around, just waiting for a server owner to download and implement into their server. For maps that have tributes to random characters, I could at least get the point of those. But for the life of me I can't wrap my head around titspam maps aside from "sex funni XD!!".

04:46 Yes! This is the video that got me hooked on Garry's mod! I was a casual CSS player when it was still new and was talking to a friend about how sophisticated this engine is and imagined what you could do with it in a sandbox-like game, and then I was told, "Well, actually there's this mod for CSS where you can fly planes!".
Early Garry's mod had an amazing feeling to it. You always wondered what would come next in the updates, or what new maps would come out. Seeing some of this stuff brings that back.
So crazy to see gm_construct_yasv2 on here because this has legit been my default since 2006. I liked the improvements to the lighting and the extra rooms added a bit more fun to messing with character ai, so to me, this didn't feel forgotten at all. I've kept moving it from PC to PC manually.
The thing at 4:01 is actually in Half-Life 2! Or at least, the way props behave inside it is. In the final Citadel chapters where you have the super gravity gun, you can come across a Combine device in which you can throw enemies and they'll float around like that, complete with blue particle effects. I assume that the mapper extrapolated that behaviour from the base game, just like they lifted the functional crane from the coast map.
always loves you content (specially that ones from gmod) ratlobber make me feel good and enjoying my day much better, the same feeling once i have a long time ago, 2000-2012.
gm_funzone_b2a honestly reminds me so much of the old build maps for HL2:DM. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually meant for that game and was ported over to GMod.
Honestly, one thing that I have come to appreciate with Ratlobbers videos has been the editing and style of content he produces, it's so aesthetic and almost nostalgic to watch.
GMOD is a such a big rabbit hole when it comes to maps, ARGs, lores, creepy pastas, you name it. The community and the history of the game will thrive on and on.

"Pool's Closed" mene explaination: it's a Habo Hotel event where a group of people from a website adorning a clover and the number 4 just blocked off the pool on Habo Hotel. Usually with a character designed with black skin, tuxedo and an afro. The excuse being current events from around the time 2005 - 2009. The meme was considered legendary at its time, nowadays its known for the poster "pool's closed" and people just scratch their heads in confusion.

this makes me feel old the fact that theres some kids watching this that have never seen/experienced some of the stuff from the gmod wtf map is crazy to me cause thats the stuff i grew up with.

At 14:25 when Ratlobber doesn't recognize a Stargate - THAT is the mark of a generational divide.
I have no idea what Stargate is but still recognized it because of another Garry’s mod video I watched when I was a kid, about Stargate-
i recognized it i swear
