Hey, I was the finder and uploader of the first Russian cd bootleg, thank you for giving it more exposure, I think that everyone should play it to experience these old gmod maps.
Nooo waaayyy is this really you ? I see goblins things on an account that date from 2022 so sorry if i doubt cause these 2 signs reunited generally means the persons behind the account is pretty young. However how does this crack needs visibility ? I mean eit has bean played by soooo much people back in the days ! Thousands, probably millions of people
Those 50 extra maps were all HL2:DeathMatch maps I think. My father spent hundreds of hours playing on that 9/11 map on some community that I think is long dead (If anyone knows of this HL2 Deathmatch community that played the 9/11 map and what happened to it let me know.). It was a free for all deathmatch server that had various weapon spawns all around the map along with invisible ladders on the corners of the towers that could be camped. It was such an interesting map because it turned into a IRC chatroom free for all server that never really restarted often. My father was named Mr. Rodgers on there and had a little soundboard keychain of Mr Rodgers he would play whenever he killed someone a lot.
I think the stories this next wave of people are going to have about their parents playing games like this are going to be very interesting. I played with quite a few people who would talk about their children all the time, and this was about 5-10 years ago, so their kids will likely be commenting like this soon too. It'll be cool to read (and see the art) of these kids whose stories weren't dad playing Mario Kart with them, but rather reflect the popularity of PC gaming and games like this.
@@Alexander_Grant my dad grew up playing cod, gta, and arma and always resented consoles and laptops due to their inability to be upgraded. he didnt like source games tho cause you couldnt ads in them
Russian piracy scene was fucking wild back then. Big stores selling the legit and the pirated product on the same shelf, never knew 100% what you were going to get. It could be the thing that you wanted or something entirely different lol
nah nah nah, you always knew where was licenced game, legit copies were (mostly) in plastic boxes priced around 15-90$ and pirated games were always around 3-7$ back then. I remember my stingy ass wondering why Mafia 2 was on sale at the store for 70$ (2199rub), and there was Mafia 2 for 5$ (150rub) at the kiosk just across the street
you mean Nintendo Nes bootlegs in Russia called Dendy right? one of the first bootleg scenes ever in Russia, even some of those games are made in their communism friend China also South Korea is kinda behind the time, i remember seeing an article said they still sell tons of bootleg usb drives full of cracked and pirated games. Also Brazil is full of pirated things and exclusive consoles like Zeebo and even much more rare ports like Street Fighter 2 Game Gear exclusive port
Man, i still remember playing pirated gmod through hamachi, though, i did buy it by the time gmod 11(or was it 12?) update released, i'd probably have 800 hours in it instead of 500+ if those spent on pirated version were to be added up, fun times.
Same here I had most of the time a not original copy I am unsure what version 2014(meant 14 not 16) era around it was fun still but at around 18 I bought it in steam and have maby 60 hrs on it max in steam but at all 200+
Going through these custom maps is the equivalent of visiting an abandoned children's playground. You weren't there, but you can imagine the potential amount of fun times that were had and there's a sense of bittersweetness you feel even though you literally never been there before
To be fair, normal gm_construct even has that vibe, to a degree, though less abandoned and maybe just a bit more unkempt, but still with many visitors.
I think that at this point, ratlobber needs a second channel just compiling all his intros. Best on the platform imo. Music, editing, vibe, it's all just perfectly done. Keep it up ratman.
JAubrey, Nexpo, NerdCity, and JCS Criminal Psychology also do amazing ones! Someone needs to compile the best of the best, because I have too many screen recordings of just banger intros on my phone
9:56 - Myself and a couple other classmates actually made this version of GMDM as a group project for an Info Tech class in high school lol. The version shown in this video is a very early version of our mod... mind you, we were just teenagers, so it didn't get too much better lmao. But we did add more weapons, items, effects, and better maps in a more "final" version of the mod. It's hilarious tho to see that it somehow made its way into a bootleg copy of Gmod xD
Still have that Russian bootleg CD of Gmod 10, gifted by a friend. Probably won't ever forget my 13 year old self reading on "how 2 update gcfs". Bloody witchcraft, good times though :)
That GMod 12 bootleg was incredibly nostalgic, I distinctly remember the dismemberment mod and the sentry radio weapon as a cornerstone of my early GMod experience lmfao
This video genuinely warmed my soul. I think everyone who was born early enough to remember the early 00’s and 10’s has at one point downloaded a Russian virus that changes the default internet browser to Chinese Yahoo while trying to download Minecraft or Garry’s mod for free.
Days of the jet engine powered family computer where the browser had 20 extra search bars and a hidden extension that overlays it's own ads onto every website
i've never played gmod and probably never will, although it intrigues me. but, i can relate to this memory because i got a bootleg version of rpg maker from some freewebs site, back when i too was a poor child. i would never be the same. i'm sure that this has happened to my same generation with gmod, and the younger generation with something like minecraft.
I can see why, a simple keylogger can easily steal any login or credentials; as virus scanners are not really made for pirating. back then it was quite easy to steal serial key, log ins, account logins(steam, which people complain, why was my account haxed..)
@@pabblo1 damn now that you mention it, i'll never forget the countless of hours ive spent playing minecraft bootlegs or the actual pocket edition demo when it still existed on my phone, just aimlessly breaking and crafting shit, trying to replicate sick builds off youtube videos. Its quite a relief that most popular games these days are f2p, even if not the best pieces like minecraft.
so many of those russian maps are actually so insanely familiar and nostalgic to me that I'm convinced I must have downloaded the same totally legal gmod version as a kid. I never put 2 and 2 together that the first map was supposed to be a construct clone. Also iirc there was some weird shit if you noclipped under the pool but I can't for the life of me remember what.
I had a cracked version of GMod 10 back in the day, and to say it was awesome would be an understatement. It had a license spoofer in it and would allow you to play online with your Steam account and even use the workshop even if you didn’t own the game.
You were completely right about the kid with no money thing. This was back before they added Paypall and my family didn't have credit cards. I remember a bootlegged version which played Daft Punk's Harder Better Faster Stronger. I downloaded a bunch of Stalker props, a background and replaced the song from one from the Stalker game files. Fun times.
my parents had credit cards and i knew where my mom left her purse when she was not using it. i learnt of gmod from a friend in middle school and bought it for my brother and i in 2012 with my mother's card without her permission. crazy how i felt like a huge late comer to the gmod world back then but now people are nostalgic for that period, its also crazy how my entry into gmod is now much closer to its release date than it is to the present day, 2004-2006 seemed ancient back then. i have 2000 hours on it now but haven't played properly in years expect for a little resurrection of my addiction at the beginning of the pandemic on a depressing note, my brother and middle school friends stopped playing after like a year or two and most of my time was spent alone or with other people who frequented the same servers as i did
12:16 Man, hearing that intro dug up some old memories. I used to play this map a lot back in the day, especially when building Wiremod nonsense. I think later versions of the map added more features? I think I remember a garage or something over the water.
@@BRD-Senpaithere's already 12 toybox map pack ports under the name "gm pack", and the have most of the maps I seen in the last part of the video (except for 16:38 as I cant find jt)
I remember a super-polished version of gmod13 that I used to play with it's own launcher, etc. After the project got shut down, and after I finally got a decent PC, I could finally buy the game on steam. Good times
If you follow Facepunch's devlogs, you'll know Deathmatch is always the first thing they make when they want to test a new engine feature. In Gmod 10, it was a bunch of new features they added to the LUA api. In S&Box Unreal, it was to test networking. In S&Box Source2, it was one of several projects made to flesh out programming and the various editors.
Wow, seeing that weird Diglett multiplier thing brought me way back. Honestly, it's kind of wild to think back to GMod 12's Toybox and how much unique stuff was up on there that doesn't seem to exist on the Workshop now.
The DNA from Melon Racer did eventually make it's way intro TTT with the spectator ghost props & the punch-o-meter. It is fascinating to see the threads of live game design.
man. gmod toybox being dubbed the golden age of gmod rings so true for me. I was 11 or 12, had just gotten the bundled counter strike source and gmod ( just because it was the same price and you "needed" both for the cs assets) and grabbed everything that looked cool off the toybox and went to town. great video!
Reminds me of the tales of CS1.6's "iconic menu theme" being from CZ Deleted Scenes but added in a pirate version (I myself also didn't know that until a year or so ago), and the "Russian SADX" which had almost every music track replaced with a single song (Windy Valley 1) in order to reduce the download filesize (O remember fondly the MYTH cracktro song included) lol
At 7:51, the rebel is saying (I think) "простите", which means "excuse me", so it's not a death dialogue but rather you got too close and he was about to get out of your way. Also, I remember MelonRacer being on the Steam version of Gmod ages ago.
That Digital Zone version made me loose my shit!!!! That was the only way I had to play GMOD, as at the time it was ver y difficult to buy Steam games in my country (and the fact that I had 13 years and no money didnt helped a lot) My god! it broought a tear to my eye... I remembered how much i struggled to get mods working and wishing that I had CS Source objects
I'm never gonna not appreciate all of the little Y2K era styled title cards, intro/outro sequences and segue cinematics. They feel like genuine TV recordings from the early 2000s and I love it.
"I'm not even gonna make a joke about it because it was a national tragedy and there's nothing funny about it." Just a second later "Anyway, crashing on over to" This dude's humor slays me
That really early version of GMDM is something I thought I might've completely imagined as a kid. I haven't ever been able to find any information on it since. They removed it from the game before I ever actually got to try playing it with somebody, but maybe now I can give it a shot. I have plenty of old computers laying around I can run these things on. Thanks for bringing back memories once again, man. I really love your content.
Man I remember that red gmod installer so clearly, back in 2011 I had no money and probably one of the worst pcs of the time, yet I still had so much fun playing it like at 15fps, thanks so much for the nostalgia trip!
Also if you wanna do this in the future i'd recommend doing it in a virtual machine. Doing it on your regular pc even with antivirus software can still lead to some bad stuff happening to your pc, and even though the viruses from 10+ years ago are likely not even going to work even without an antivirus, it can't hurt to use a VM for safety, so if you use a VM then if you do get hacked they at least won't be able to find any of your credit card details.
I remember playing on a Half Life deathmatch server called "Phoneburnia" where through commands you were able to play a really scuffed version of GMOD, was basically just spawning things through commands then freezing them in place with a command, have so many good memories from that.
honestly, i still find insane that i had so much fun with pirated gmod cracks, pretty much limited addons, some not working, really dated, broken scripts and many others, but it's bizarre how much fun i had with how limited it was.
15:39 OH SHIT! I MADE THAT MAP! rp_fortlongcat! my very first attempt at a roleplay map!!! I remember how I tried to experiment with blending indoor and outdoor spaces and sometimes you could see the map clip with the outdoor skybox! also ratlobber's standing inside of a giant "Shoopdawhoop" in that frame!
Upon you playing the old GMod 12 bootleg and the maps you were showing I saw some maps I use to play back in the day in Gmod 12, I had an immediate rush of nostalgia briefly seeing those maps along with the mention of the toybox system (which I still think is superior to the Steam workshop TBH).
I still remember back when the very first version of gmod was released it wasn't even a mod yet, but just a map with the possibility of spawning melons and barrels. The crazy thing was Garry had his mail written in the readme file and i actually managed to talk to him on msn messenger. I remember i only asked him "Hey do you think it would be possible to spawn ragdolls to mess around with them?" And he promptly answered "No".
Flatconstruct? Darn, I miss that map...I was playing very cool pirated GMOD, with many CSS custom weapons and mods, nukes, bombs, zombies, bikes. Even mod to replace phys-gun with HL2 Beta gravity-gun!
That Glados line unlocked some deep memory. I may have played that map long ago. To this day, I'm expecting the legit version to have that placeable dynamite. Only with hindsight do I realize that was probably a mod in the yo ho'd version from my pre-Steam days.
all the extended construct maps were by far my favorite. pretty certain they’re the reason i liked liminal spaces so much. those, and playing empty GMOD maps just exploring.
Four McDonald's sandwiches? Mate here in northern Europe I'd probably pay 13€/$14 for a double burger and a coke. Fast food is as expensive as lunch restaurants by now...
Yooo melon racer! That's an unlocked memory! And laughing with my friend at dr haax... I first started playing a pirated version of GMOD 11. The nostalgia is real
I recognize a map where your in a house but from a mouse perspective and there was a rocket launcher in a legit mouse trap so you had to be quick to grab it. Also pretty much every good weapon had some type of trap to it.
As a 33 year old who spent his formative years on 4chan. The latter half of this video was painfully nostalgic. It's strange that I can feel nostalgic for memes that looking back on now, weren't even fucking funny. Desu~
I remember asking my dad to buy gmod. Back then he was so skeptical of typing in his credit card I had to beg him for weeks. Finally, I got it and was able to play it on my grandma’s dinosaur of a computer
I recognized a couple addons from the modern Gmod workshop, it's good to know some of those cranky ass addons are still out there, being used by someone
Damn, I remember playing that big flat grass/construct map when I was younger and messing around in Toybox. I miss those days of Gmod Might have to take a chance and find that Toybox Archive for nostalgia’s sake 8:47 - I remember playing that map on the old zombie survival game mode 😭 GOD THIS IS BRINGING BACK SO MUCH
16:45 Holy shit, seeing that triggered some serious memories for me. That gun model is the ACR from the game Homefront. I ported it to Gmod when I was in high school, I'd just learned some basic lua scripting and how to rip assets from Unreal 3 so I was going to town grabbing guns from other games and making "sweps" (scripted weapons) out of them.
My friend were obsessed with GM. He was good at programming in it so he made a casino and had some cut from a owner (of course virtual cash). He later went on to make SAMP UCP and when we actually met he helped me with a gig. He studied for a year and went to work full time (dropping out from uni, obliviously)
I made that modern warfare 2 intervention on toybox when I was 15 or 16. Never thought I would ever hear about it again. I broke either the normal map or the reflection map when I was uploading it and didn't know how to take it down and reupload. It was still a really popular download and I remember it being featured in a post on Garry's personal blog broken textures and all lol. I really miss playing gmod with my friends and making addons around 2010 to 2014
Fun fact: gmod 9 is actually a free version of gmod. Basically being an, well, *actual* mod for hl2 or cs:go (or cs:s i think?) you can also play it without hl2. But, i think you need source sdk 2006? Idk
13:21 - The weird floaty thing is a hoverdrive. It's a wiremod entity that you give a map coordinate to and it teleports itself and anything it's attached to (like your spaceship) to that location. I played with that thing all the time in Spacebuild. My brother made a mingecage with it. So much fun.
I could say the best moments I had with the game were with a pirated copy, I also remember being able to connect to the steam servers for some reason lol good ol' 2009 steam, I also used Hamachi, met one of my oldest friends there, we still speak to this day, might share the video with him when he wakes up. I want to try to search for old maps that I played in those days, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to find them.
08:44 this map... I just remembered when I spent all afternoon playing zombie mod 1.0, I think it was 2010. That mod gave weapons by points when hit zombies, never found a server like that again, all the others gave weapons by killing zombies. And I barely remember a nice guy with a nick like "vin p99".
What I miss most about the mid to late 2000's era of Valve gaming, is playing those Half-Life 2 Deathmatch maps where there's a bunch of different doors leading to different puzzles and stuff, and everyone had to try and finish them all to unlock a final level that everyone had to try and beat. Often times it took the server all day to get them all done, and if you were around for that final boss or final death run to the end, you were absolutely blessed because there was no telling when all the levels would get done. There was just something comfy about it.. Everyone was sorta doing their own thing, then sometimes you'd see someone else trying to beat the same level as you. It felt incredibly satisfying to be the one who gets the toaster (I feel like it was a car battery but I always thought it was a toaster) to plug in and solidify the map's step towards being completed. I remember one in particular was a big maze with many Antlion Guardians ready to chase you and destroy you. That one wasn't particularly my favorite but I hella remember it for some reason. I feel like I'll never get the feeling of those old levels ever again...
I think that one of the biggest things that made gmod so sucessful is the old gmod content creators (yknow DasBoSchit Kitty0706 and the other divine beings) because when you say gmod people like them are the first thing that comes to my mind ALSO HOLY, IM REALLY NOSTALGIC LATELY AND YOU JUST AMPLIFIED IT SO MUCH
I never pirated GMod, but I can definitely relate to seeing that $10 price tag as the fence as you watch the other kids play outside. I definitely knew at least vaguely how piracy worked at the time, I had previously done it with Portal 2, but I guess I never realized GMod was a game it could be done with. Makes me wonder how differently my GMod experience would have been shaped had I started with the bootleg.

my parents had credit cards and i knew where my mom left her purse when she was not using it. i learnt of gmod from a friend in middle school and bought it for my brother and i in 2012 with my mother's card without her permission. crazy how i felt like a huge late comer to the gmod world back then but now people are nostalgic for that period, its also crazy how my entry into gmod is now much closer to its release date than it is to the present day, 2004-2006 seemed ancient back then. i have 2000 hours on it now but haven't played properly in years expect for a little resurrection of my addiction at the beginning of the pandemic
on a depressing note, my brother and middle school friends stopped playing after like a year or two and most of my time was spent alone or with other people who frequented the same servers as i did
12:16 Man, hearing that intro dug up some old memories. I used to play this map a lot back in the day, especially when building Wiremod nonsense. I think later versions of the map added more features? I think I remember a garage or something over the water.
I need that toybox archive, I'm so glad someone saved all of that
now we just need to port that shit to the workshop (or atleast the ones that weren't already)
@@BRD-Senpaithere's already 12 toybox map pack ports under the name "gm pack", and the have most of the maps I seen in the last part of the video (except for 16:38 as I cant find jt)
Is there a link to it? I wanna check it out
I remember a super-polished version of gmod13 that I used to play with it's own launcher, etc. After the project got shut down, and after I finally got a decent PC, I could finally buy the game on steam. Good times
It could even be used to play on regular MP servers, too
do you mean the red garry's mod or the gmod 13 beta made by radioman
If you follow Facepunch's devlogs, you'll know Deathmatch is always the first thing they make when they want to test a new engine feature. In Gmod 10, it was a bunch of new features they added to the LUA api. In S&Box Unreal, it was to test networking. In S&Box Source2, it was one of several projects made to flesh out programming and the various editors.
I haven’t played since 2012 so seeing this old build takes me back to having friends
Wow, seeing that weird Diglett multiplier thing brought me way back. Honestly, it's kind of wild to think back to GMod 12's Toybox and how much unique stuff was up on there that doesn't seem to exist on the Workshop now.
The DNA from Melon Racer did eventually make it's way intro TTT with the spectator ghost props & the punch-o-meter. It is fascinating to see the threads of live game design.
Hearing the huge gm construct glados voice and seeing melon racer brought me back to like 2009
man. gmod toybox being dubbed the golden age of gmod rings so true for me. I was 11 or 12, had just gotten the bundled counter strike source and gmod ( just because it was the same price and you "needed" both for the cs assets) and grabbed everything that looked cool off the toybox and went to town. great video!
Reminds me of the tales of CS1.6's "iconic menu theme" being from CZ Deleted Scenes but added in a pirate version (I myself also didn't know that until a year or so ago), and the "Russian SADX" which had almost every music track replaced with a single song (Windy Valley 1) in order to reduce the download filesize (O remember fondly the MYTH cracktro song included) lol
HUGE FLAT CONSTRUCT! Ive spent countless hours playing on that map back in 2009/2010.. Crazy how time flies..
This NPC spawner was crucial to make Zombie RP work so that people earn money e.g. in events. Great video as always!
At 7:51, the rebel is saying (I think) "простите", which means "excuse me", so it's not a death dialogue but rather you got too close and he was about to get out of your way.
Also, I remember MelonRacer being on the Steam version of Gmod ages ago.
no he said sorry (formal)
@@andevy1 Well yes. I've heared it being used as "excuse me", though, and in English, "excuse me" isn't but a different way of saying sorry anyway.
That Digital Zone version made me loose my shit!!!! That was the only way I had to play GMOD, as at the time it was ver y difficult to buy Steam games in my country (and the fact that I had 13 years and no money didnt helped a lot) My god! it broought a tear to my eye... I remembered how much i struggled to get mods working and wishing that I had CS Source objects
I feel your pain bro
I had that version but for Half-Life:Source, was absolutely floored at the time when I managed to find something that worked.
Happy to have somewhat contributed to these versions :)

That really early version of GMDM is something I thought I might've completely imagined as a kid. I haven't ever been able to find any information on it since. They removed it from the game before I ever actually got to try playing it with somebody, but maybe now I can give it a shot. I have plenty of old computers laying around I can run these things on.
Thanks for bringing back memories once again, man. I really love your content.
Man I remember that red gmod installer so clearly, back in 2011 I had no money and probably one of the worst pcs of the time, yet I still had so much fun playing it like at 15fps, thanks so much for the nostalgia trip!
It still exists, albeit it's a very old version of GMod 13, predating the custom viewmodels.
Also if you wanna do this in the future i'd recommend doing it in a virtual machine. Doing it on your regular pc even with antivirus software can still lead to some bad stuff happening to your pc, and even though the viruses from 10+ years ago are likely not even going to work even without an antivirus, it can't hurt to use a VM for safety, so if you use a VM then if you do get hacked they at least won't be able to find any of your credit card details.
You can't play games in a VM.
@@n646n you can
@@n646ntechnically you can, but cursor locking doesn't work
I remember playing on a Half Life deathmatch server called "Phoneburnia" where through commands you were able to play a really scuffed version of GMOD, was basically just spawning things through commands then freezing them in place with a command, have so many good memories from that.

8:50 is a zombie survival map i used to play back around 2007. everyone always tried getting to the top of that tower to survive.
Upon you playing the old GMod 12 bootleg and the maps you were showing I saw some maps I use to play back in the day in Gmod 12, I had an immediate rush of nostalgia briefly seeing those maps along with the mention of the toybox system (which I still think is superior to the Steam workshop TBH).
I still remember back when the very first version of gmod was released it wasn't even a mod yet, but just a map with the possibility of spawning melons and barrels. The crazy thing was Garry had his mail written in the readme file and i actually managed to talk to him on msn messenger. I remember i only asked him "Hey do you think it would be possible to spawn ragdolls to mess around with them?" And he promptly answered "No".
9:21 That transition was dirty 😮💨

as a russian, that's pretty stereotypical.... but also completely true. i personally like playing rickroll on every and any screen i come across.
Flatconstruct? Darn, I miss that map...I was playing very cool pirated GMOD, with many CSS custom weapons and mods, nukes, bombs, zombies, bikes. Even mod to replace phys-gun with HL2 Beta gravity-gun!
That Glados line unlocked some deep memory. I may have played that map long ago. To this day, I'm expecting the legit version to have that placeable dynamite. Only with hindsight do I realize that was probably a mod in the yo ho'd version from my pre-Steam days.
when i was younger i downloaded a gmod toolbar that i legitimately thought was how people played the game but obviously it didn't work
"young-ass jit" was horrific tbh
all the extended construct maps were by far my favorite. pretty certain they’re the reason i liked liminal spaces so much. those, and playing empty GMOD maps just exploring.
i was a week old when those russian gmod 10 screenshots were taken

Nah it's 20:11 for me.

*PLANE TRANSITION*
Holy shit at 8:52 i loved this map on the zombie modes. That was a nostolgia hit right there.
I recognize a map where your in a house but from a mouse perspective and there was a rocket launcher in a legit mouse trap so you had to be quick to grab it. Also pretty much every good weapon had some type of trap to it.
As a 33 year old who spent his formative years on 4chan. The latter half of this video was painfully nostalgic.
It's strange that I can feel nostalgic for memes that looking back on now, weren't even fucking funny.

I recognized a couple addons from the modern Gmod workshop, it's good to know some of those cranky ass addons are still out there, being used by someone

16:45 Holy shit, seeing that triggered some serious memories for me. That gun model is the ACR from the game Homefront. I ported it to Gmod when I was in high school, I'd just learned some basic lua scripting and how to rip assets from Unreal 3 so I was going to town grabbing guns from other games and making "sweps" (scripted weapons) out of them.
Its a national tragedy that i wont make fun of.

Love the showcase of old "digital playgrounds" and imagining how much fun people had in them many years ago. Thanks for sharing ratlobber

I made that modern warfare 2 intervention on toybox when I was 15 or 16. Never thought I would ever hear about it again. I broke either the normal map or the reflection map when I was uploading it and didn't know how to take it down and reupload. It was still a really popular download and I remember it being featured in a post on Garry's personal blog broken textures and all lol. I really miss playing gmod with my friends and making addons around 2010 to 2014
Truly a ratlobber experience!
mostly based memory videos.
I truly feel ratlobber coming inside me
Fun fact: gmod 9 is actually a free version of gmod. Basically being an, well, *actual* mod for hl2 or cs:go (or cs:s i think?) you can also play it without hl2. But, i think you need source sdk 2006? Idk
That space ship 7:15 was from Stargate: Atlantis. I'm pretty sure it was called a "puddle jumper".
It'd be amazing to see someone pick up everything these builds had and put it on today's workshop for everyone to (probably) enjoy.
i guess garry’s mod will never die, even though there’s no construct 14
13:21 - The weird floaty thing is a hoverdrive. It's a wiremod entity that you give a map coordinate to and it teleports itself and anything it's attached to (like your spaceship) to that location. I played with that thing all the time in Spacebuild. My brother made a mingecage with it. So much fun.
I could say the best moments I had with the game were with a pirated copy, I also remember being able to connect to the steam servers for some reason lol good ol' 2009 steam, I also used Hamachi, met one of my oldest friends there, we still speak to this day, might share the video with him when he wakes up. I want to try to search for old maps that I played in those days, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to find them.
08:44 this map... I just remembered when I spent all afternoon playing zombie mod 1.0, I think it was 2010. That mod gave weapons by points when hit zombies, never found a server like that again, all the others gave weapons by killing zombies.

What I miss most about the mid to late 2000's era of Valve gaming, is playing those Half-Life 2 Deathmatch maps where there's a bunch of different doors leading to different puzzles and stuff, and everyone had to try and finish them all to unlock a final level that everyone had to try and beat. Often times it took the server all day to get them all done, and if you were around for that final boss or final death run to the end, you were absolutely blessed because there was no telling when all the levels would get done.
There was just something comfy about it.. Everyone was sorta doing their own thing, then sometimes you'd see someone else trying to beat the same level as you. It felt incredibly satisfying to be the one who gets the toaster (I feel like it was a car battery but I always thought it was a toaster) to plug in and solidify the map's step towards being completed.
I remember one in particular was a big maze with many Antlion Guardians ready to chase you and destroy you. That one wasn't particularly my favorite but I hella remember it for some reason. I feel like I'll never get the feeling of those old levels ever again...
I remember downloading a pirated version of GMOD which was mostly vanilla apart from a naked Alyx Vance.
What did it look like don't say too detail
@@EvilSantaTheTrue It's been more than like 13 years but iirc yeah it was very very detailed lol
I think that one of the biggest things that made gmod so sucessful is the old gmod content creators (yknow DasBoSchit Kitty0706 and the other divine beings) because when you say gmod people like them are the first thing that comes to my mind
ALSO HOLY, IM REALLY NOSTALGIC LATELY AND YOU JUST AMPLIFIED IT SO MUCH
Haha... The nostalgia... Thanks for the video. Everything you said was top notch
I never pirated GMod, but I can definitely relate to seeing that $10 price tag as the fence as you watch the other kids play outside. I definitely knew at least vaguely how piracy worked at the time, I had previously done it with Portal 2, but I guess I never realized GMod was a game it could be done with. Makes me wonder how differently my GMod experience would have been shaped had I started with the bootleg.
11:35 this just made me so nostalgic aww
