The common rule of mutting the micspammer, is that in doing so is a confirmation of your own homosexuality. You must respect the man who micspams, as he is generous to be the DJ of the server.
@@somerandomkid9976Depends. Is he playing good music? The DJ here is playing some good music, so muting him would confirm homosexuality. Anything that’s not good allows you to freely mute with no repercussions.
I really appreciate the dedication to eloquence in this thread. We do not simply say, "(Insert racial slur.), you gay." 🤬 No, we communicate: "Dear fellow, you felt it wise, at this time, to publicly confirm your homosexuality?" 🧐
This video goes extremely hard. At first I thought it was a server plugin but it turns out it is actually micspam of the highest quality. Very nice. Of course it's ryan gosling too.
I love the goofy fun you can have in multiplayer matches like this. Playing them made me realize how soulless and devoid of feeling newer multiplayer games and communities have become. I hope Valve updates the other games like this so we can have a resurgence!

You don't get experiences like this now.

Hey, I was here when it happened! You can see my name in the killfeed or chat sometimes, I was the guy going by the name Gordon Freeman. With Steam P2P bringing back the chaos of Half-Life, I think nature truly is healing at last. Hope that magnificent micspamming bastard, Ryan Gosling, is doing well! There were a few times that other rival micspammers tried to take his spotlight, but none of them could compare.
0:41 i was 7 years old when i first played half life deathmatch and some dude was playing that song for the whole entire game i never thought i will ever hear eminem rap over half life 1 gunshots again
Every GoldSrc game server aiming for this kind of throwback vibe needs a Mayan cell phones guy babbling in chat, if it really wants to be period accurate
reading the comments and witnessing & listening to the songs of that time in the video, really brings out a Wow feeling like viewing a window into the past, this is what many childhoods grew with, some people referencing games ages old and that one guy recognizing the gman squad series this was the life, the stuff back then wow wow wow wow man posted this a week ago but it feels like an unearthed time capsule i can just grasp the feel of that time, the era that i never existed in and it's just micspam
The only thing he was missing are the weird curveball picks people had. French Canadian rap, Russian hardbass, some god-awful country song they like that’s never even charted - etc. Also, Creed
Man the mic spamming really made me nostalgic lol. What a better, simpler time, no MMR, no tryhard competitive, just playing the game for the sake of playing the game.
Man i miss spamming HLDJ. The perfect 50/50 love hate relationship with whatever shitty music teenage me spammed, jamming so many source mods. Truly was a lifetime ago
Man, even though I never played this back then (console gamer), this era of music combined with just a purely for fun free-for-all deathmatch gives me massive nostalgia. I've tried a lot of the new multiplayer games- Fortnite, Overwatch, Valorant- but none of them have the same vibe older games had. People played just for the fun of playing in the past, now it feels like you play to grind a battle pass or to gain a rank, and even if you want to play for fun the gamemodes always suck (I swear any gamemodes with teammates always either have me angry, or my teammates getting angry at me). I might have to download Half Life deathmatch again and give it another go, there's always at least a few active servers.
yes our games were actually fun want a new skin? just put it in the proper directory no cash shop and you could say the gamer word all you wanted in fact i'm gonna say right now
The cultured Gen Z-ers headbang and groove to these beats. Listening to these songs on CD and growing up without internet to rot my brain was one of the best things that ever could've happened.
Nature is healing. Now, Ryan Goslings are returning to their natural habitat of blasting shitty early 2000s music through their mic in multiplayer lobbies
Valve should honestly continue the half-life series using the old goldsource engine and i bet everybody would be happy with it because retrogames are in right now.
I love seing more and more half life videos pop up, such a great game and it seems a little bit more people came back to it and even some new players. I love it!

calling playing music micspam is very disrespectful to the person who had to set that up

I saw a similar thing in TF2 when it had a big playercount spike recently, tears in my eyes man
@@facing_w0rlds I'm a zoomie but playing in tf2 servers riddled with micspam honestly just added to them

Almost like the early 2000s suddenly came back or something. Definitely brings a tear to me eye. :')

This makes me miss 2007 Halo 3 lobbies
Its just not the same in MCC, no one uses the mic on PC

It's 2000 tho
some of these song are post 2000
This was literally me in 2019
We all had this experience up until around 2012ish things started slowing down in the half life/source engine world.

I can't decribe how happy I am to see HLDM exploding in popularity again. It's like the early 00s all over.
for sure, good memories
Based pfp
Probably because people are getting bored of battle passes and other mumbo jumbo in modern fps games. This is just pure fun.
With such music taste I wouldnt mind the micspam
I love how he plays 2000's song, it feels like playing half life in 2008 while listening compressed quality song I got from LimeWire
truly this dj is a work of art
Every lobby should have its own DJ.

It absolutely is a one time thing.
I think the game will continue to have a bigger playerbase than it did before the update.
This feels so warm and familiar.
You know you are in for a good time when you play HLDM and see some guy named after a celebrity mic spamming.

With the low quality of the songs i doubt it
i never experienced HL until like 2013+, and even though i never lived the 90's this is somehow nostalgic
maybe this is what we were made for
reading the comments and witnessing & listening to the songs of that time in the video, really brings out a Wow feeling
like viewing a window into the past, this is what many childhoods grew with, some people referencing games ages old and that one guy recognizing the gman squad series
this was the life, the stuff back then wow wow wow wow
man posted this a week ago but it feels like an unearthed time capsule
i can just grasp the feel of that time, the era that i never existed in
and it's just micspam
I literally encountered that same Ryan Gosling guy playing music in voice chat, needless to say it did make the goldsource experience even more golden
mans a legend
The only thing he was missing are the weird curveball picks people had. French Canadian rap, Russian hardbass, some god-awful country song they like that’s never even charted - etc. Also, Creed

And I thought TF2 was crazy... Boy, how wrong I was. THIS IS THE PERFECT 90'S BRAINROT GAME!
HLDM is a magical experience when you join the right server
Now that the servers are actually filled with players, time to try your luck!
I'm glad someone is documenting the authentic 1999 experience 👌

I downloaded video to save this epic gamer history documentary

Can't be a HLDM micspammer without What is Love played at least once... and Clubbed to Death.
The kind of micspamming you can't even be mad about.
Amazing tracklist.
I will hire this DJ for my wedding.
mic spammers blasting music are a rare treasure, bless the admins for not muting/kicking him.
Thanks for the epic soundtrack Ryan Gosling (literally me)!
Ryan Gosling needs his own Pandora station and call it Gyan Rosling I'd listen to it while I slept
It would be so cool if this guy was just blasting these from vinyl on their stereo in the background.
Damn, that took me back to those wild-west times. Free mic, lobbies with varying skills (without caring about the skill gaps), and just good ol' fun.
Playing some DM while someone micspam Crazy Frog is truely amazing
Well... I got a guy who was playing Numb from Linkin Park on full volume and it was a pleasant surprise for sure , since i enjoy the band
