    That ‘semper’ myth is interesting because 4-5 years ago my gmod game was corrupted or something and for some reason the only maps I could play were the base maps and my player models could only be that weird Gordon Freeman. It was like this for like 3 months until I got a new pc, I had no clue what that was about, probably just a bad mod.

    • @schmecklin377
      @schmecklin377 Před rokem +56

      For a while something with my mods was messed up so everytime I started a new game I would spawn in third person as the semper Gordon freeman model and be unable to move or anything until I used the console to kill myself and respawn.

      @brainfullest0 Před rokem +6

      I've actually seen it quite alot when playing gmod altough very rarely,
      One time I was playing on gm_freespace 13 when I spawned in `semper` was just standing where I spawned. Then after a while it disappeared and I didnt see it for the rest of the session. I thought it was just some mod I haven't deleted but I didn't have any mods that could add an entity or npc or something else that follows the player like that maybe my Gordon Freeman playermodel is corrupted.

    The Gman Virus is a very real thing, I fell victim to it back in 2010 by joining a random RP server, it scared the living bejesus out of me and just forcibly shut down the computer with thankfully no further infection. Unfortunately I do not have picture or video proof, it just caught me off guard like basically all people who have gotten it.

    • @Sancoraa
      @Sancoraa Před rokem

      Ashkore's a friend of mine, he just sent me the video. I have also been victim of the Gman Virus the same day as he did iirc, but I was on a standard sandbox flatgrass. It was in the morning, I was something like 10 or 11 years old, was minding my own business and suddenly, Gman Virus. In my memories there was also a loud noise aswell, though I am not sure. I had to force shutdown my computer aswell, couldn't access task manager or anything. Computer didn't get infected neither, but I remember not launching Gmod for a few days and went back to Counter-Strike: Source instead. I am 24 now and I still remember it very clearly, this has scared the shit out of me.
      I swear GMan Virus was real, at least the screamer part, the infection part did not happen to me so I can't tell.
      A theory I have is that it was an E2 script (Expression 2, part of the Wiremod) that was used a lot back then to make screamers to anyone that would approach it. Maybe there was a vulnerability that would also allow to crash people game, over-saturate the memory, thus explaining why I couldn't access the task manager and has to force shutdown the PC.

    • @daylineli
      @daylineli Před rokem +59

      i dont even think anyone would have been able to screenshot it, and even if they did the virus would apparently crash your computer entirely, the only way i think you'd be able to screenshot it and upload it would be to quickly whip out your phone and take a pic of the screen during the virus, but i doubt anyone ever thought of that, due to the player being distracted or probably busy shitting their pants in terror to do so, lol

    • @Sancoraa

      @@chip6ag It's like a jumpscare. It happened randomly, I was minding my own business when the GMan texture popped in fullscreen. I can't remember if there was a sound coming with it, but it's really scary nonetheless since never you'd though to get a screamer when playing on a map and mode you've already spent hours in

      There is an amateurish flare to it that makes the video feel nostalgic and roomy. I vividly remember seeing a lot of these conspiracies and myths covered on CZcams when they were in their prime. One I can remember off the top of my head is the ghost girl in the GTA 5 tunnels or something like that way back in the 2010s.

    the source engine aesthetic and vibe is what makes gmod creepy or etc when ur playing alone, when u load into a map, u had fun at first, then u start questioning is there something in the map that i dont know about, i find it interesting that most gmod map that are creepy for some people are generally maps with buildings or a city/town map

  • @theblob1716
    @theblob1716 Před rokem +29

    I think the reason why the “semper” myth exists is because when you download a addon that uses a corrupt playermodel the model it resorts to is the Gordon one and people were seeing other players or a npc with that model thinking it was a ghost or something. But I’m not sure because I’m not familiar with how models work in the source engine. I just heard that from somewhere and I don’t remember where I heard it from, Probably a gmod iceberg or something

    • @pawekowalski1249

      @iuploadsometimes5028 Před rokem +2

      Semper is a placeholder player model which is used if you don't have any player models. I'm pretty sure HL2 and HL-S used it as the model for Gordon.

  • @mkultra6161
    @mkultra6161 Před rokem +5

    I saw semper in game. I approached it and I was like “oh must’ve just spawned it in” and did a cleanup and it was still there. This was when the whole “scary figure in gmod!!!” so I literally laughed at the idea and continued to spawn other stuff and went back to playing.
    This was pretty late at night too so normally I’d be freaked out but when I worked a shit ton and was sore all over from work I wasn’t gonna let some weird thing freak me out and stop me from relaxing.

    I believe in 'Semper' as one time on Flatgrass, specifically the second time I ever went on it, I was messing around with my mods spawning NPCs in, and I saw Semper far in the distance, it went away after a few seconds, and it wasn't like a mod not loading correctly or something, it didn't act anything like a mod, it's creepy even thinking about it.

    The GMan Virus is actually real, it would show gman's face when you opened the game, then it would open multiple shock and porn sites. It is now broken since a lot of patches happened since but you can still find it in some places of the internet.

      so those gory sites and porn at once? No wonder porn gets bad rep.

    Fairly certain the Semper myth exists just because of in-game bugs. It's pretty easy to get set to the Gordon Freeman model because it's the default model of the player in general I think, considering the game was created within the Half Life 2 engine (and as you said, Gordon Freeman model). Someone probably just had corrupt models or a bad add-on at some point, got turned into Gordon Freeman and spun a myth around it.

    I have seen Semper two times, once in a Half Life 2 map, and a custom map, first time did sort of catch me of guard, he did teleport way first time, second time he just stood there doing nothing, and this is when I had not internet, he is nice tho.

    Grey Ball can easily explained as a bug. I haven't looked at the code or textures, but I could easily see a bug causing a ball to spawn in without a determined colour value.

    "semper" is technically real.
    If you install gm construct 13 beta (not a real beta, it's just a map with funny scares in the dark room and stuff) semper will occasionally spawn and teleport around and he can also show up in other maps if you have the mod installed.

    So, about Semper, I once experienced it, but in a map named "gm_fever_dream" while I was playing around with nextbots, at first I saw it with the corner of my eye, then when i recognized it i despawned everything in the map and just looked at it until it disappeared. I just thought that maybe it was a little easter egg in the map but every single time I've played the map I never found it again, not even a single time.

      maybe you have gm construct 13 beta enabled, I’ve heard it infects other maps.
