Man, the old clunky gmod fnaf models are always nice to see no matter how garbage they actually are
Its a punky clunk
its stylisticly so bad its good
@@senabecool7232 It's basically "It's so bad, it's good"
@@ChampōTheRizzler Isn't most of Gmod just that
Poorly animated characters that garnered millions of views on UA-cam
@@senabecool7232 Yeah, but it's good 😁
It's so jarring as a 20 year old full grown ass man watching internet history video essays on the shit I lived through. Like I was literally there, it was my mid - late childhood. I remember the first fnaf models releasing on gmod, I remember spending hours dicking around with (my now best) friend on sandbox maps with fnaf playermodels, I remember the "stop making fnaf dupes" movement, and I remember the bullying I got from people who are now in their late 30's and early 40's about my fnaf pfp. Loved this video, it was super nostalgic.
As someone in that age range I always thought it was stupid AF to bully kids for being, you know, kids. Makes you wonder who was truly being immature. Then I saw the cycle being repeated by the anti VTuber trend and I couldn’t help but shake my head.
Ironically the adults in the community act more like children over mods that they can easily ignore. Literally most people here are pissing themselves lol
As a fellow 20 year old sharing a similar experience, I can't believe you were my age through all that and chose the FNAF profile picture life path.
Oh no! You enjoy a popular game? *EARRAPE* A POPULAR INDIE HORROR GAME? IN MY GARRY'S MOD? IN MYYYYY GARRY'S MOD? IN A SANDBOX GAME WHERE PEOPLE CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT? AHHHHH HOW DARE YOU!
I got death threats over that stuff
In my opinion, fnaf did sorta have a mass swarm over the gmod workshop. But I think the main was issue was people overreacting, sure there were so many add ons and dupes but let's be real some people were taking it way too far.
it was like a nuclear bomb
expect the radiation is slow
@@hl2betafan you could say they downloaded HBombs
idk for a while it felt ike there were just a few too many pages of *just* fnaf trash.
@@GmodDiesel i used Hbombs to make rocketship fr bruh
This is just a thing in general; whenever a new "popular enough to become popular amongst kids" game rolls around, people have the same panicked overreaction and the same mass hatred, if not phobia for anyone related to that game. Be it FNaF, Undertale, FNF, the list goes on.
That was my music video you showed with gman as William Afton. I wanted to comment at the time, you were correct in saying I hadn't played Half Life before. However, the decision to use that model was primarily my animators in 2020. Now I'm obsessed with the lore thanks to Alyx! I also no longer use SFM and create my own models for peak authenticity.
Nice
Neat
Cool :)
Great!

The idea that fnaf got younger people into gmod is funny to me. My first introduction to fnaf as a kid was seeing the models on the gmod workshop page
I discovered both fnaf and Gmod thanks to the venturian dude
@@kingdinamo2076 I learnt english thanks to Venturian Tale, and i'm well on my way to making a career out of there
Technically Minecraft is what got me into Gmod, because I used to watch tons of DanTDM and I also saw a couple of his Gmod videos and thought it looked really fun
One of mine was smg4 back in the original speggetirea video
I was in the GMOD community since roughly 2011 when I was given the game as a gift by a friend. I remember the GMOD 13 upgrades and how many add-ons were absolutely trashed due to it, but, honestly? I never saw a point in the whole FNAF Hatred thing. Garry's Mod, at least to me, was always a sandbox. It's quite-literally one of the gamemode titles. In a sandbox, anything and everything that can be used should be allowed and welcome. Sure, it was annoying to have tons of servers filling with kids screaming into the microphone, but that's just the way videogames have gone. Videogames are no-longer seen as these niche things that only weird nerds play. Part of GMOD's pull for me was just how much could be done, and I remember those old FNAF models becoming inside jokes in my friend group, where we'd hide one somewhere in screenshots. FNAF brought people into the GMOD and Source communities. It got being coding in LUA and creating maps in Hammer. Sure, it was aggravating at the time, but it was ultimately good for the longevity of Garry's Mod, but that's just me.
@@MadWatcher Exactly! The funny thing is, when the new Fnaf game Security Breach came out last year, some people in the Fnaf community were crying that Fnaf had become a child's game, which it always was.
Well, I don't think FNAF started out as a game targeted towards kids. But now that be have things like security breach and the massive amounts of merch yeah, that has probably changed
@@MadWatcher the old ones were focused not on kids, but since probably SL or Pizz. Sim it was just focused on kids
@@CF77 no, that’s not the same. The main games were developed to be quite scary and terrifying, it’s popularity just happened to cause a lot of children to make up the majority of the fanbase. Whereas with Security Breach, the developers intentionally tried to tone down the “mature” elements, such as blood and death, or even *reference* to blood and death (“Gregory, you’re broken” being an infamous example of last-minute “sanitization” of the game for younger audiences), as well as the *fear factor*; the entire game suffered because of this “child-friendly” mindset.
It’s fine if a mature game series becomes a magnet for a younger audience, but that does *not* mean that series should sacrifice what makes it mature-and often what makes it so likable-in order to appeal to that audience. Do you get it now?
@@JimBobJoeB0b You are absolutely right about that. But I still think that some people get too carried away and boycott a whole range of games because of it. I played Security Breach and I think it's a very good game that unfortunately, like many other games, didn't realise its full potential.
My guess as to why they made SB so "kid friendly" is that maybe the studio got scared of a controversy like "Oh my god, there are kids playing a game where robots are trying to kill a kid" or just went with the crowd.
But as a newcomer to FNAF, I would like to tell the old fans not to think that FNAF is finished, no it's not and we might see a 3D FNAF game in the future that is also scary and maybe gore. I really hope that Steel Wool will bring something back with Ruin, I mean they got enough feedback from the community.
Thank you for your kind feedback on my previous comment.
the mentioning of venturiantale made me genuinely sad. Like, I remember when I was a kid and I discovered them back when they only had a small handfull of videos on their channel and no-one knew about them. as a kid, I saw the channel go from a bunch of videos of siblings goofing around, to a soulless channel focused on making money. And with bethany coming out talking about the abuse she and her sister went through, I just cant really think about htem anymore
Wait hold up what happened with Bethany and her sister being abused? And what about them being greedy? I knew the channel fell off hard but I didn't know there was greed and abuse involved.
Ight I just watched a video going over the whole situation no need to tell me. Shit is sad.
Ah, venturiantale. A long time since I've heard that name. Sucks what happened to them.
Ik like the moment he said their name I thought of basically the same thing
Same :(
Seems like a lot of people got into animation through FNAF Gmod. That's actually pretty cool.
It was my introduction to hobbyist 3D animation with Source Filmmaker, I started even before SFM had it's own workshop FNaF models, I remember porting the Gmod assets to use. To this day I still occasionally hop onto some old SFM projects to finish piece by piece just for fun.
@@yume5338 sum tells me u upgraded to sfm 👀
fnaf kids pretending skibidi toilet is bad will always be the funniest thing to me
Mods can't ruin a game, especially when it's up to the player to install or ignore mods. You don't have to install and play with them, yeah it can annoying when the waves of stuff flood the workshop, but what does it matter if you're hunting for something specific? I think people need to calm down, it doesn't ruin a game to bring in more players, it helps it. That goes with any game
That's a very good point. FNAF addons, like literally every other addon on the workshop, are entirely optional. If you don't like them, you can simply choose not to install them.
@@nerdybirdy2002 But you can't opt out of every other item in the workshop being FNAF related.
@@stitchfinger7678 FNAF-related addons are still a minority compared to the thousands of addons that are not FNAF-related. :^/

Knocked the part 2 out of the park man, you brought up some things I haven't even considered until now. Great video pal
I don't think people using source characters in FNAF stories is a bad thing, keep in mind there's not that many models of FNAF human character's in the gmod workshop mostly because people have no reference to go off of.
They do now
@@PretzelSage I mean yeah, but that's mostly in sprites from the games many of the characters don't show up in the graphic novels
True. The only canon human models we have rn are Vanessa and Gregory

I feel like the Fnaf and Gmod collision was one of the things that made me unconsciously explore different game series since I can go back to certain videos and go: "WAIT, THAT SHIT IS FROM *insert game*" I would call Gmod the gateway to many other things.
GMOD and FNAF 100% got me into animation. I got introduced to so many valve properties such as TF2 and I wanted to try and make my own animations. Especially with FNAF and SFM.
Same here,but it was my cousin who introduced me to fnaf.

it's nice to see I'm not the only one, I used to find it kinda embarrassing
@@jethrogiak3292 same
Gmod > SFM > S2FM (HL:A) > Gmod again. Gmod seems more versatile. Ya there's the SFM workshop, but Gmod has so much stuff to begin with imo.
SFM crashes about 50% of the time when I go to spawn anything I got from the workshop (pretty much everything since I don't play/care about making TF2 stuff, and not even the HL2 maps are there.
Tl;dr: Gmod > SFM
@@Freemelon07 Animating in GMOD makes me want to tear my face off.
As for the point about ruining Half-Life characters, Gordon Freeman himself is not a vanilla model in GMod so his image and legacy remain relatively untarnished to those who haven’t experienced Half-Life. Way I see it, he’s the glue that holds all these serious characters together as the main protagonist to a serious game franchise. You can still play the HL2 games today as a primarily Gmod fan and still take the games seriously as Gordon Freeman.
I started playing Gmod in 2006 at 10 years old. I'd argue getting into it was like getting into legos. Its beauty is anyone can enjoy it, but you can also get as technical as you want too. You could be 3 and stacking your favorite colors, or 50 and building a perfect replica of NYC; just like you could be messing around with ragdolls or building server communities. Gatekeeping the age misses the point. And like a parent seeing their kid play with their old bricks, I'm just happy they're keeping the flame lit. If anything, my hope is that they pull enough interest back to this game to get a revitalized sequel made.
Beautiful analogy!
you should look up s&box if you don't know about it yet, its basically a sequel to garry's mod made by the same people
@@duddybuddy Not quite.
At this point it is more like they are doing the job Valve should be doing, which is to make a usable Source 2 SDK for the public. Because that is what it is.
7:30 reading this is really funny considering even HALF LIFE doesn't always take itself seriously. This is the franchise that gave us "STAHP", "NO" and "Do you know who ate all the donuts?"
This is one of the reasons Hunt Down The Freeman failed as a mod... alongside other things... yknow what I mean.

As someone who grew up with GMod FNaF and is now an animator, I really am happy that this happened.
I don't believe Fnaf ruined GMod. It introduced a lot of new people to the GMod and also a lot of people started doing SourceFilmmaker animation. Thanks to Fnaf, I found my passion for the animation
true but im not using sfm just for the animation because you can install some models to sfm so im not animating im having fun in there
Yeah i was introduced FNAF and GMOD in 2014.
fnaf is shit
Those people are the problem. The problem isn't that there is a shit ton of FNAF workshop content, It's that a bunch of children and other people undesirable to the existing community were invading their space and destroying their already existing culture. We see this all over the internet, where undesirable people (often with absolutely no social awareness) appropriate a platform from it's already existing user base. It's the reason youtube is shit, it's the reason 4chan is full of redditors and it's the reason twitter is full of tumblr users.
“You’d be hard pressed today to find GMod content that isn’t expressly catered to kids.”
Tha Vanoss crew would like to have a word with you.
Also, I’m pretty sure a large reason behind this has less to do with FNaF taking over GMod, and more to do with UA-cams stricter policies. People who didn’t make child friendly videos on the platform would just end up being thrown off of it.
As someone who’s been playing gmod before fnaf and the kids that are obsessed with fnaf were even existent, I can definitely say that fnaf had a profound impact on gmod and the workshop and still does today.
My thoughts on this has massively changed over the years. I was one of the young teens upset that my 'cool' space was invaded by annoying kids, would constantly get upset over the idea that the community i'd been apart of first might have seemed diminished as a result of kids discovering and enjoying the game due to some new trend amongst them, then receiving far more attention than any of us had at that time. Bear in mind this was during the time period where it became increasingly more obvious Half-Life 3 wasn't happening, at least not any time soon.
I like to think I've matured since then, at least a little bit. Honestly, I don't think it's my place to decide who gets to enjoy such a phenomenal game, I hope they found Gmod as a gateway towards the wider Source community - I know it was for a lot of people and that is nothing but a GOOD thing if you have any shred of respect for these games, but even if not? I can't be too upset that these younger kids, probably now in their early teens, aren't too keen on playing decade old games.
that’s a good way to look at it
FNAF gmod stuff was the real shit back in the day for me, it was awesome. I've grown off of that obviously, but sometimes it's still fun to load up those old maps every now and then
Having seen the end, you nailed it at least for me- I'm s blender modeler now, in fact my first one was recreating the OG FNAF Bonnie model... It comes full circle, doesn't it?
Hearing Venturian Tale makes me kinda sad cause I remember hearing about something happening that split up their group
Yeah, Rip
Reminds me of what happened with SFM community as well. Workshop overfilled with FNAF contents, a lot of circlejerks and arguments on the discussion forums, and full on hate on any FNAF contents, videos and posters that got filled with hate comments. I still remember some people demand someone to create a FNAF-focused SFM asset site like SFMLab and even someone tried to make one but failed.
I was personally dislike the FNAF content on the SFM workshop due to some if not most of them are low quality like shitty FNAF "OC" models (re-colors mostly) and high-quality yet unoptimized models with extremely high polygon count that would crash SFM. There was even a drama about whose made the best FNAF models that is 99.99% accurate to the games and who owns these particular "OC" designs.
It's all in the past now, and the SFM community is pretty chill right now.
grown up "adults" try not to get mad at children having fun (impossible)
Despite the reputation both FNAF and VenturianTale have in their own regards, I'll always give them full undeniable credit for introducing me to Garry's Mod, then eventually Half-Life, and then the entirety of Valve's catalogue of games and the Source engine... and that's been almost a decade ago.
Time sure does go by fast, doesn't it?
The only thing that bugs me about FNAF dupes/saves is that it makes things very samey. The save/dupe sections were always full of low-effort stuff, but at least the type of stuff (vehicles, buildings, character poses, etc.) varied.
Tbh the dupes section has always been full of samey stuff
even before fnaf, I would usually see the same dupe/save reposted over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. Or dupes and addons with a posed grigori titled "PLS PLS PLS LIKE PLS PLS PLS" or something. Not to say there isn't cool dupes or saves, its just that fnaf didnt change how varied the dupes were, it just reskinned what we already had.
@@leo_the_v.3847 The destructible tower dupes we’re so good atleast.
A lot of kids played Gmod, I remember thinking that Half Life 2 was just Gmod's inbuilt campaign mode.
I'm so happy to have a new video put out by my favorite freak named richter blobertime.
Also I love VINNY and JERMA so goddamn much
Agreed.
Without FNaF SFM's, I wouldn't have discovered my passion for animating, I wouldn't have discovered TF2, Portal, Left 4 Dead or Half-Life. I owe a lot to that fast bear.
I also owe it to Friedrick Fitzgerald Fastbear
@@Xs1v-__- Damn straight.
Same here
@Fireman Sam Boy 2008 That too
I discovered Gmod and by extension the Source engine through the FNaF craze, carefully leading me into discovering my still uncontested favorite game of all time, Half Life 2 (I played it merely just by the pure curiosity of the strange assets Gmod had by itself, ended up loving it), on top of helping me find my most passionate hobby, being 3D animation introduced with Source Filmmaker. I definitely owe a lot to the hype back in the day, the simple novelty of exploring the FNaF locations and models in 3D alone was enough to sink my teeth into this engine like no other. While I already was a Portal and TF2 player, FNaF really was the last straw for me being obsessed with this crazily coded yet simply enjoyable engine and by extension, Valve's iconic and near perfect catalogue of games.
While I lost interest in FNaF and it's lore after Sister Location, and by extension have long since lost touch with it's community, I still have great memories of fucking around with friends on the first Gmod FNaF maps, copllabing, teaching and making friends with animators in the early days and creating things I would have otherwise never been able to create by myself if it weren't for Gmod and the Source engine. I owe a lot to Valve and Scott Cawthon. I could go on and on about 2014 and my relationship with the FNaF universe, the Source engine and it's community, but this sums it up pretty well.
the moment you said "VenturianTale" a wave of nostalgic memories flooded my brain... bro that guy and his siblings took up a lot of my childhood....
Honestly, when fnaf mods on gmod got popular on UA-cam. It was how I actually discovered gmod. Eventually I found youtubers like vanoss gaming and just loved the game since.
This video brought back so many memories over simpler times when i was introduced into fnaf and seeing these creators inspire me with their work got me into art and 3D modeling.
I can never thank enough the creators and artists who made these videos 8 years ago. Saying its been 8 years feel so funny to me, iam no longer the dumb child being hyped after coming from school to see if my favorite creators made something. And now heading to college, hopefully making something thag inspires someone out there too.
hey richter, the creator of CoF (and AoM) was a cringe nae nae teenager when he developed those games. i know this because i am the same age as RuMpel. seeing a screenshot of the old forums REALLY brought me back, and further cementing the notion that the youth should be free (and defended) to make asses of themselves in our shared creative spaces. it’s only fair, because we all shit up the place at one point, and someone was patient with us.
The person behind Cry of Fear did have a point though. Sometimes you want to protect your characters from getting the improper legacy than the one they deserved instead. You did mention how they ruin G-man's character by making him a child killer in their edgy videos, and in the similar fashion, he wouldn't have preferred to have Simon turn into someone's Gacha OC.
>how they ruin G-man's character by making him a child killer in their edgy videos
Of course, *entirely* different from the other things done to him before, after, and at the same time :V
I feel like some of the people say "fNaF rUiNeD gMoD" are the same people who take Gmod waaaay to seriously
I can't unsee that they fucking Ruin G-Man into William Afton.
Even though the Fnaf community thought he was wearing a Purple suit.

“And there have been channels like VenturianTale which have built their careers off the back of this phenomenon”
Ouch, I remember VenturianTale way back before FNaF was a thing, how time flies.
Back in 2014 or so, a friend of mine and I went into the GMod workshop and tried looking for the first page to show up that DIDN'T have anything FNAF related.
We went on for about 50 pages before giving up.

@@KlazGuy what au
Good video but felt like bringing up the Cry of Fear topic without context is just an attempt to play off Andreas Rönnberg as immature despite him having a good reason in being upset over people screwing around with his original models and posing them in wacky ways. He's a dev who's games touch pretty grim topics that are pretty personal for him and one of the models mentioned, Simon, was even textured using his own face. I would honestly recommend playing through Afraid of Monsters and Cry of Fear and look into Andreas a bit more so you could understand what headspace he was in when he wrote that post back in 2012.
I’ve played both games and I love Afraid of Monsters, I even bought a replica of David’s hoodie. I still think his post was super rude to his fans and pretentious
Rönnberg's behavior was utterly inexcusable in 2012. I hope he's better now, but he was awful. He was a homophobic incel and groomer who mocked religious people and banned critics of his game. I don't care if he was depressed, that's no excuse. This is coming from someone who was inspired to go into game development by Afraid of Monsters btw. But I know how to separate the art from the artist.
@@RichterOvertime Oh, that's nice to hear! As @GasMaskedGaming replied to me, he truly wasn't in the best headspace when writing that post or even most of the stuff. I still remember some of the "weirder" stuff he posted to Moddb which by now is removed but it got him a certain reputation back then. A reputation GasMaskedGaming mentioned and I somehow didn't want Andreas' return to those days and him possibly writing something weird on your video. Since you're one of the few guys (Along with Dacoobers and Ratlobber) who do Source related videos that feel like a blast from the past, as in, actually entertaining videos with your own personality. So I didn't want this mention to start some useless drama. But judging by his recent posts and replies to people he seems to be doing better. So here's hoping Andreas did put his past in the past.
And please never stop making videos, since the first ARG videos you made I have greatly enjoyed everything you have put out.

Gmod has been around for a LONG TIME. I don't think Fnaf caused it to be ruined, some things die out in popularity at some point.
i love how both games kinda came together
Why would people overreact to FNAF dupes being spammed in Gmod workshop, when you can make the most offensive scene imaginable using something like, oh I dunno, *Hitler*
*I have a story: Everything was normal before FNAF was released in the summer of 2014. At that times, the TF2 expiration date video came out plus Love and WAR! And then when I finished 3rd grade elementary school, FNAF came and then after the summer ended, FNAF 2 came And when I was in 4th grade everybody was playing FNAF 1 and 2 on their Phone plus even using phones in elementary school was forbidden. Scott Catwoon, what did you do to take over the world in this state in one go? plus even my best friend yusuf plays a lot i still remember going from night 4 to night 5 plus when you accidentally left the game he went back to night 4 and everyone congratulated it was disappointed... and unfortunately my favorite friend yusuf was 12 august 2016 due to heart disease He passed away at the age of . :-( and our cellar didn't even know about this incident. Of course, we saw it only after 1 year and we couldn't believe it. History wrote like this. Mid 2010s. For some it was a golden age, for others it was a nightmare or a nightmare. Scott Catwoon got him to this point, and so he did all of these.*

Venturian played a huge role in my interest in GMod. I didn't watch most of their FNaF related videos, but their use of the models help contribute to my eventual purchase of the game.

“I’m about to murder 5 children Mr. Freeman And You cannot stop me [insert G-man laughter here]”
Honestly in my opinion - what truly is destroying the gmod, its community self - I dont want add so much details, but examples: toxicity, racism, attacking people with different orientation and more. I know, there gonna be fine servers; which having normal players and don't attacking self - but its minority. The most servers of gmod is just... Toxic, Dark city rp? Oh dear god, no. SCP? Polish servers are good example about how they treats the players and using n-words or slurs. But honestly u even notice somebody warn player for writing n-word? Because I think I played a lot servers and even Zombie mod; then nobody care about these slurs.
If that's gonna be tolerate and nobody will doing to stop that - then Gmod popularity will change drastically to being known as toxic community.
I want hear your opinion Richter about it, if you reading the comments ofc ^^'
Btw, cool video
i can make an entire mile long list of everything wrong & bad in fnaf and most certainly in the fandom, but the pure fact that i have been sucked into this series since the beginning, watching EVERY SINGLE matpat video on it, watching dawko since then, and being able to experience all the fangames, fan models, community interaction, and growth with my own two eyes had solidified it as my completely personally biased favorite series
in my opinion
no
Garry's Mod is a sandbox, which means it's main focus is creativity
meaning Five Nights at Freddy's being big on Gmod is NOT... a problem whatsoever
6:59 gman had to take some new carreer paths during the gap between HL2 and Alyx
I remember making a crappy "tutorial" video as a response to a thread on Gmod's steam discussions forum about how to cure the "FNAF Virus" at the time of this trend's peak. The video was simply just setting a filter on Gmod's workshop to show "add-ons" instead of all the FNAF dupes and other spammy content.
I've since set the video to private. What a fun time the Gmod workshop was then.

FNAF didn’t ruin gmod but it did have a very large impact on it, especially when both games were very popular at the same time.
You saw gmod fnaf maps being played by big UA-camrs even markiplier, you had maps, npcs models etc made after fnaf. I wouldn’t say it ruined gmod because now adays you see very little of that era, I don’t think I could find a fnaf map on the first few pages of the top maps of the gmod workshop.
Point being that whilst it was a big and explosive impact, the fallout didn’t last for long.
Jerma was the ORIGINAL v-tuber.
I discovered Gmod through animators like Kitty0706 and DasBoSchitt, and TF2 through Criken2's L4D2 play-through as Sniper. It left such an impact on me I wanted to pirate Gmod so I could animate like them. Then SFM came out, and my hand at animating is, ultimately, a bit lacking. However, I will be remissed to say I didn't have fun, even if my range was "absolute dogshit" up to "Dingo Pictures" quality.
God that last one is true. I remember watching a tf2 demoman meme in class and some kid said "isnt that the guy from that fnaf video?"
I was one of those die hard FNAF fans back in 2014, which was what got me into Garry’s mod in the first place. Now here I am, in college for 3D animation and modelling, working to get into the film or video game industry. I would’ve never chose this career path if it wasn’t for five nights at Freddy’s and Garrys mod.
🙏🙏🙏 impressive
Neat but sad trash fnaf is what started it
@@Folfah As if a large chunk of gmod cant be considered "trash" too, FNAF is fine :V
Look, as a member of the fnaf community (I'm 17) call me a cringy kid I really don't care. Kids are going to infest every single community out there, they did it with fnaf, then fortnite, then gmod, and it's just gonna keep going, there's nothing that you can do about it
very true
*insert male_07 and low poly Freddy fazbear model kissing*
I'd argue Gmod ruined Half Life 2 and especially the characters. As someone who played Gmod before knowing what Half Life was, it felt weird seeing the ragdolls I threw around, blew up, posed and made dumb faces talking seriously, and these "Combine" guys weren't really... scary or anything as I killed thousands of them with various guns. When I finally got to play HL2, it felt like I was playing Gmod, minus being able to spawn models. Don't get me wrong, I love the Half Life universe, it had its time but now it's old news. Let's not kid ourselves, Gmod has many terrible things in it, FNAF wasn't the first, and it won't be the last.
Me personally, I think FNAF ruined SFM, because in that workshop, people were posting the same models, claiming they were more accurate to the in-game designs, and those creators who dared to share the more accurate models were hounded by thousands of children, begging them to release the models, and ultimately forced the creators to hide everything behind either a paywall, or private and only to be shared with their closest friends.
Nice video, never thought Gmod had this amount of lore behind it. Thanks!
The hatred was kinda unjustified. People seeing as cringe though? Yeah it kinda was.
fnaf and sfm are really what introduced me to gmod
FNAF did actually ruin Garry's Mod since my brother cant stop being a PM or spawning a ragdoll or npc and i just keep ignoring him and he said to my pm (ofcourse that was a tactical anime pm) said this "hey man i dont like that pm could you JUST change it" though he had raise his voice and i said to him "No." i was so angry he knew i didnt like it so i didnt talked to him for a week till then and till this day i never talked to him.
im sorry to say this to Fnaf fans but Fnaf is ruining Garry's Mod.
end of story. not replying to people that will insult me.
Did Fnaf turned gmod into a kid's game? Yes
Did Fnaf ruined GMod Content? Yes
Did Fnaf ruin Half-Life characters? Yes
The Bonnie jumps jumpscare at 3:58 didn't get me, the ad right after did lol
I'll never get used to the fact that some of the UA-camrs I watch are just younger than me, especially since I saw this new form of entertainment rise when I was young
It's great seeing you making so many great videos
You grew so much
@@RichterOvertime didn't knew you'd reply to that!
God bless you man
Keep on the good work 💞
As a fnaf fan myself yes fnaf introduced me to gmod
Crazy that you've played gmod for 13 years, truly a dedication
Honestly, this video just reminded me of something primarily unrelated to the topic that happened to me once in high school and the mid 2010s after five nights at Freddy's became popular. I had just beaten Half-Life 2 for the first time and because I was a high school student who didn't have a job I decided to ask my step brother to pirate half life two episode one for me so I could play it and see what the rest of the story was, so I was playing this pirated copy on one of the school computers in the library during homeroom period, And these two freshmen walked up to me and asked me If I was playing Gmod. And these kids wouldn't stop back to gaming me talking about how two security cameras that were offline saw me and that combine soldiers were going to come and get me, of course that didn't even use the word combine so. I basically just ignored them put my headphones back on and kept playing and then they left. I wouldn't be surprised if those kids were familiar with Gmod through five nights at Freddy's so to be honest, but you can't be sure.
The fnaf community has to stop flooding the workshop we can all agree on that
Except they always will, because it's always being flooded with *something* dumb :V
I mean tbh it's similar to the influx of MLP stuff added during the early 2010s
Once a fandom becomes super popular for a few years it's going to flood the workshop with creations
That’s what I’ve been saying, people must be too young to remember the brony era
Tbh, without FNaF I probably wouldn't know what Gmod or what the source engine is and I probably wouldn't be here writing this comment or be subbed to ur channel
Controversy aside, I think my gaming career peaked when, playing through the battle of City 17 via GMOD, I freed an imprisoned Bonnie who didn't even get to finish his promise to follow me before some random-ass crate decided it didn't want to physics, and promptly obliterated him right in front of my eyes.
Since then, I have never come closer to actually pissing myself while gaming.
"there are worst places for your kids to be"
Yeah like 1940 Germany rp.
my first ever contact with tf2 hevi weapons was when he completely obliterated mangle with a shotgun and then got killed by a bloodlusted foxy looking for revenge. Ahhhh good times...
To be honest I don't think Garry's Mod can really be ruined or be killed there's a massive Community dedicated to it and people still play regularly
fnaf is the reason i know what all the valve titles are and how i became an invested gamer. i owe those funny furry robots my childhood.
Today I learned that Jerma was the original Cheerleader.
I remember playing gmod the year prior to fnaf coming out. It was beautiful chaos and it was full of nonsense. In all honesty, not much has changed.
FNaF did not ruin Garrys mod I think it Popularize it.. twice if I did not know what FNaF was I would never have known what G mod was..and
I hate when like haters say “ the 6 year olds” or “5 year olds” it’s stupid our fan base is not just children.. I’m not 6 ..im 13 almost 14
bruh richter is born in 2004, so he is 18 now
I knew he was 17 or 20
8:40 " There's probably worse places for your kid to be spending time online." Watch Bub Games' videos about Fnaf rp and you'll do a 180 on that statement lol
as someone who has casually played gmod for over a decade, hardly participated in the forums and only really played on sandbox servers, I hardly ever saw FNAF content in game or out or talked about it with other people. Of course I watched a few Markiplier, Seananners and Vanoss videos back in the day, but they also covered TTT, Prop Hunt and Hide and Seek. I don't care for FNAF, I have never played it or participated in fandom spheres but it also doesn't bother me that they exist for other people to enjoy. I do kind of like Friday Night Funkin, I don't play it but it makes me happy to see old Newgrounds characters like Tankman and Pico continue to be relevant.
i personally think it was more than one fandom coming into gmod at the same time
No, FNAF didn't. Shitty nextbot/meme spammed addons have.
Nothing has ruined this game if you don't like to complain about petty things.
Edit: nope nvm now i see it
I agree. I can’t even find new and interesting addons without seeing annoying nextbots and spam.
