- I wanted to show off some cool maps that people made for GMod. The map-making community is insanely talented and exploring these has been a lot of fun for me.
Here's the links to the maps I played in this video:
Poolrooms: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Places from your dreams: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Macey State Psychiatric Center: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
The Librarian's video on MSPC: • GMOD VR: Exploring Mac...
I apologize for the weird aspect ratio. I think I’ve finally realized why this has been a problem for me and I’m hoping I can fix it soon.
Music used (some slowed):
Silent Hill 2 - White Noiz
Silent Hill 2 - Prisonic Fairytale
Silent Hill 3 - End of Small Sanctuary
LISA The Painful - Welcome Home
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Twilight
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence - Fog Enshrouded Nightscape - Hry
Thanks for the shoutout and for checking out the map! . I love your narration and the use of soundtrack in this video, you set a really nice vibe as you explore. Just scrolled through your channel and there's a bunch of videos I'm excited to check out later. Subbed! I'll answer some of your questions/observations in a reply to this so I don't show spoilers unless people want them.
1. You actually found a way in that I didn't anticipate, which is really cool because I was hoping people would figure such things out. There were actually chairs near the dumpsters that could be used to climb on top of the garage on the same side and enter through a window, which is what I thought you were doing at first, but you surprised me!
2. There is indeed a sound that can play in the tunnel, which is related to the story of the tunnel ghost on the workshop page. It was supposed to be unlikely to trigger (like a 1/4 chance), but it happens waaay less often than I intended. It also only has one chance to trigger, so walking back and forth won't make it happen. I may patch this at some point. (It's a whisper in your ear that asks, "Do you have my hand?")
3. There's nothing to the legend of the forest maniac. I just figured that not every legend should have any truth to it.
4. The tree with no hitbox is just an oversight on my part. I made the small pine trees not solid because they had a weird and restrictive hitbox, and I must have done that one as well by accident.
5. You're the first video I've seen that found the hidden comfy room! I normally didn't want to require noclip for anything, but I figured such a thing wouldn't mesh well with realistic exploring, so I just made it so only those who were really curious about the barred tunnel would find it.
Cool to see you here, Librarian! ^^
Love your videos, cool to see you enjoy other similar creators too ^^
woah I watch your the long drive videos
Hey, thanks for stopping by and explaining some things about the map! I love your videos and I loved playing this map
Yooo absolutely love your stuff librarian, awesome seeing you here.
4:54 the perspective and reflections here make it look like there's a giant eye, staring right at you. I really love that
Wow, I had never seen it that way, but now that you mention it you’re right. That actually gave me chills looking back with that perspective
godzilla scene 😅
Imagine someone making Gmod stop motion video in this room.
thats actually probably exactly what hes feeling. his ape brain going "ITS LOOKING AT YOU"
The librarian usually does these kind of videos exploring in VR, i think seeing these maps in your perspective is cool after seeing his walk through
Got such mixed feeling about that guy!
He chooses very interesting games (and maps), and has some good observations, but I had to give up watching him do playthroughs - he just talks too much. He talks over important audio clues, and misses things entirely because he is trying to figure things out before the game gives the clues.
Still, he seems a nice enough guy, and I still watch his videos exploring things - just not his playthroughs! ;-)
Thanks so much for playing on my map! Love the comfy vibe of this video.
Thank you! It was a great map!
@@dialko2596 I appreciate it! I just watched your video about creepy stuff in old Minecraft yesterday and then this appeared in my feed. Crazy odds lol
The hospital reminds me of this abandoned complex me and my friends used to hang out in. One of the buildings had steel shutters with a person-sized hole in the bottom, like you would have to crawl to get through. Inside it was pitch black but with a torch you could see a mattress in the middle. We were too scared to ever go in. Once we did hear someone coughing while exploring and I've never run so fast in my life lol.
That’s crazy! Irl jumpscare
Honestly I really resonate with the beginning. Me and my sister been going through a really though time in our lives, so we'd been playing Gmod alot together, messing around. We'd go around looking at creepy/beautiful maps and just explore them, and now thanks to the video we got new maps we can explore together. Thank you :)
I was genuinely like "no way" when I saw The Librarian's map
I haven't played gmod in forever, but I feel like I'm still linked to the game. It's such a unique experience. I remember exploring a lot of maps for the atmosphere and the interesting concepts. I'm not easily scared, nor am I much of a horror fan, but sometimes I'll find maps that make me a little uneasy. Not necessarily because it seems scary, but more because it feels like I'm exploring a dream- a dream composed of many little aspects and experiences throughout my life. Sometimes I feel a little guilty for exploring some expansive atmospheric maps (plus the liminal space meme) because the environments feel so close to me. With all of the unorthodox structures and features in places they're not supposed to, it reminds me of how confusing dreamscapes can be. Just as the brain throws buildings and assets all over the place, creating a unique world, gmod map creators create their own creepy locations in-game. It's strange seeing how weird people make their maps, especially with those horror sound effects. Also, I like the maps with huge buildings and villages. I love that psychiatric centre, for example. I have done some urban explanation, but I have never been inside one of those buildings nor have I been inside of an operational one, yet there's something about it that feels familiar. Plus, it's such a beautiful map. It's extremely well made and I could see it being the setting for a turn-of-the-millenium horror game similarly to Silent Hill. Personally, I have found some really cool maps on gmod that I kind of want to revisit. There was one that looked like a village in a castle and there was also one that was a monolithic structure that looks like the artstyles of Shadow of the Colossus and Bloodborne came together. It was ornate, yet imposing, and it really stuck with me since I first saw it.
In conclusion, I love this video. It reminded me of perusing the lists of maps and exploring every crevice of some interesting structures, whether realistic or uncanny. Another added touch of nostalgia is the Silent Hill 2 music. I hate to admit it, but that almost made me tear up. It's such a beautiful game, and personally I think it's the best horror game I've ever played. Thanks for this return to my younger self and the strange nostalgia of seeing that engine again. You did an amazing job.
sorry for the essay lol
Well said!!
It was so funny hearing you go from "there is nothing inherently scary in this map" to you seeming to dread going into the dark spots on that first map.
Also it's cool to see someone's perspective on these maps that doesn't have thousands of hours in the game. Gmod was the first game that really hooked me when I was younger and I saw so many crazy things. Back then you had to go to a website to download addons and maps and manually put them in the correct folders. Joining servers you REALLY had no idea what you were going into.
Your videos are some of my favorite content on CZcams. Just listening to someone talk sincerely about something they enjoy or find interesting is pleasant. The narration on your videos is relaxing too, feels a lot like a casual conversation. I'm really glad I found something like your channel.
It's always a pleasure when you upload a video like this. I find myself more fed up with the constantly energised videos with subtitles and snappy cuts every three seconds as time goes on, and as it becomes a more common form of content, it's lovely to have stuff like this that just cruises along at it's own pace. It's a really relaxing and nice change of pace. Literally.
This kinda reminds me of tf2 trade maps, they often feel lonely and liminal, even when they are populated with players. They are so massive and contain so many areas that even though you could get jumped by some scout at any time they still have this immense atmosphere.
i love the vibe of these videos, im excited for the ride of this video
To me one of the most interesting thing about liminal spaces is that it's a thing we've all felt and seen for years but didn't have an actual name until recently
a few of the sounds used in the second map are actually unused sounds found in the 2003 half life 2 leak. theyre spooky, really showed what they were going for.
great video too, i love running around in these kinds of maps
After first trying out SFM a few years ago, I was pleasantly surprised how intricate maps could be and wanted to eventually give Gmod and its' maps a go. Sadly, my PC died before I had a chance to explore it myself so I appreciate the casual and chill tour without hammering in on the "uncanny eerie backrooms" angle that has been annoyingly milked to death. The urge to explore these lovingly designed locations full of subtle details is so engaging. Would love to do maps myself one day.
Watching this feels like a friend is just showing me something they really love. 😅 I miss that. Thank you for this video. Subbed.
It's odd seeing video game environments not trying to scare you with le big screaming monster and still being disturbing and creepy. Guess it's the GMOD magic at work. Nice video Dialko 🐔👍
it feels like i have a lot to say but i just cant really find the words for it. not really new for these kinds of videos as ive went into so much detail on the atmosphere before so it would feel like im repeating myself. either way, thanks a lot for making this and sharing some of your personal experiences with us. ive noticed that a lot of people connect these kinds of maps to places from their childhoods that were usually old, like their grandparents' house.
my grandparents used to have a pretty weird house that i couldnt really fully wrap my mind around as a child, but it did result in some really weird dreams back then (and some more recent ones), and the fact that i was surrounded by really old tech and old media really amplified it.
i also have the concept of an old yet still operational school having a really comfortable atmosphere but some pretty weird secret rooms or passage ways stuck in my head. its been there for a really long while, actually, and im glad that there are other people that have similar ideas in mind.
other than that, i just love to look at places like the abandoned psychiatric center and imagining how it was while it was still operational and not abandoned. i like to imagine how it was at the start, during its prime and what lead it to close down in the end. it makes me wonder how the people there lived and how their minds would possibly have worked and other dumb shit like that.
Thanks for the comment. If you’re interested, I recommend the Librarians video on the psychiatric center map (link in desc). He talks a bit about that perspective of what it would have been like when it was still open
The Librarian my favorite, cool to see him here.
These maps have such a cool “Beginners Guide” feeling. Like you’re trying to get into the mindset of the map creator in order to get around the map or understand it.
dialko your my favorite youtuber now because you make the videos everyone needs deep down, the videos that peoploe who have been online for a log time itch for, exploring the abandoned and old minecraft theories or old gmod maps and perfect narration to bring the vibe together, thanks for everything you do
There’s always been a strange feel to the super straight and brutalist architecture, the rusting ruins, the empty spaces
This video was strangely relaxing. Nice commentary and cool visuals.
16:30 I always loved the Deus Exyness of all the paths and ways of getting into different maps in Gmod like in Jailbrake and all the other maps.
I love these kind of videos so much!! And omg what you said about having dreams where your house was flooded and like exploring it, I used to dream of the same thing when I was a kid!!
Also I was one of the people who watched your lucid dream video, was really good and spooky
Another hood classic from Dialko
Your content scratches such a specific itch for me. Lucid dreams, beta Minecraft, “liminal spaces” (as sadly overused as that term is), urbex, the feeling you get from listening to the Silent Hill ost. I can’t put the feeling I get from all of that into words, but it’s something nostalgic, and a little spooked, and maybe womblike, and infinite in a way. Like how dreams let us create an infinite internal universe. I’m rambling. But thank you for your content, I think it’s important to put this sort of feeling into a physical format, for future generations to understand. Someday people won’t have that nostalgic link to Betacraft or Silent Hill or Gmod, and these videos are important to get that feeling down
same
It's like the embodiment of the wonder of my childhood
knew this video was gonna go nuts when end of small sanctuary was playing 👍🏼
fr tho great vid, it's crazy how gmod is used as a medium for art like this and it's weirdly cozy to hear people talk over all these surreal (and sometimes frightening) spaces.
I’d love to see more videos of you playing through GMOD maps. Your thoughts on them are very interesting. Also I dunno why but I got really creeped out while you were talking about hearing that sound effect only once in the tunnels. Really enjoyed this video!
I could watch 2 hours of you exploring maps like this. It felt peaceful and enjoyable, especially for a night viewing
I’m so mad this didn’t get as many views as your Minecraft videos, only because this is by far my favorite! I hope you can continue to make long form content about liminal spaces or any abstract topic like this💯 this was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable videos I’ve ever seen
You deserve to be bigger man, These talk over videos are so nice to put on in the background and cruise to! Keep posting and good luck
I can definitely see the resemblance to Librarian's created building, it sure does take inspiration from an early 19th century Asylum, the Pipes in the basement are like heating/ducting to reach separate areas of the underground complex, very realistic comparing to real life Asylum's.
man i love love loooove the whole narrative you’ve got, I also adore water being included in any dream core/liminal map! A few years back, a mall at where I live got flooded so seeing the pictures was so cool,, plus no one was there so it definitely was liminal. Great video!
Great video! I really love how simple yet comforting it is. It’s like exploring with a buddy as he tells you stories, very cool!
Never knew I wanted this type of content till now, this video was rad man. I feel like Gmod has always had that kinda creepy factor, especially playing these maps alone. Like you know that there's no real reason to be scared, but you can't help but feel it.
Just got done watching this and your creepy minecraft video, and I have to say I'm loving how you put your videos together. They're so cozy and atmospheric, and your tone of voice helps a lot as well. Could watch shit like this for hours
What a great video!! I can't wait to see what else you have in store for the future and I'll be sure to check out your previous videos too
Outstanding work on this video! I didn't know Garry's Mod could be so atmospheric. I always brushed it off as a meme game. Very cool to see your review, hear your thoughts, and listen to your stories. Nice work! 🙂
The Macey State map reminds me of an old map called like Mesa State Hospital or something like that, an old creepy urbex map also set in psychiatric hospital (maybe different maps but based on the same place?). This video reminded me to find that map again.
11:11 Jesus christ, I felt a pit in my stomach when my brain just registered _movement_ for a second, even after I realised what it was.
I only just found your channel last night while I was up very late, and your videos I find to be very relaxing. As a person who finds it very difficult sleeping at night, you and the Librarian both help me relax with your narrations and the tone of you videos. I've only recently gotten back into Minecraft but I was very pleasantly surprised to see you cover Gmod, which is a game I'd love to see more of from you.
I also didn't know much of anything about the Minecraft Beta until your videos, so you've definitely helped me learn. I hope to one day be able to make videos with a similar tone and effect to yours, thank you for your lovely content
Thank you for the comment. I’m very glad you like this! More Gmod is definitely a possibility…
Genuinely love how raw and lucid this video feels. Keep being you man
great video, love the channel. your commentary kind of has the same energy as this other channel, AnyAustin. it has a casual depth to it that i find relaxing. you're the only two channels i know of that strike this sort of tone
Thank you! Man I love AnyAustin’s “unremarkable places” videos; I think about those spaces in video games all the time
Bro, you know EXACTLY what you're doing with that Silent Hill OST. So perfect for the vibe
This was great and your voice/style of narration is so calming. I would love more!
To see the two worlds colliding is such an interesting feeling.
Librarian is my favorite CZcamsr and i also watch videos about old Minecraft on here.
I love you for putting some silent hill goodies in here, thank you
LOVE YOUR HOBBY AND VIDEOS! keep making these!
More good stuff all around! Also a great find about TheLibrarian! I love his vids!
There's something about this video that scratches my brain the right way. Great stuff!
Same
I love exploring Gmod maps. Great video that gives me nostalgia
I really enjoyed this video. It took me back to when I was in elementary school taking a week off because I had a fever and just explored gmod maps alone. Not realizing what I loved about them was that liminal feeling. This video makes me want to go back and scratch that itch again all these years later.
(Also, I just realized you have a Judeau profile pic, and Berserk is the greatest piece of fiction of all time.)
this type of video format is my favorite thing to watch on youtube
I can tell that you're passionate about this stuff. I too find the topic of dreams to be infinitely fascinating. I too fondly remember dreams from my childhood; perhaps this is the reason why I love the works of David Lynch and Charlie Kaufman. Moreover, as a young gamer much like you, I'd also often spend hours trying new maps for unreal 2004; vaulting through community made environments, completely bedazzled by the amount of heart people would pour into their work. Just as you are, I'd take my time too, amazed by the tiny details, the sound effects, and easter eggs. It almost felt as if I had the ability to jump between worlds--strange, alien, foreign, and often times beautiful.
really enjoyed this vid, excited to see more of these exploration videos
awesome video, i really like your channel, your videos are pretty relaxing and its nice to know im not too crazy for liking stuff like this.
I'd love a full game where you're just exploring spaces like this, trying to piece together some mystery
i 100% agree with that parallel between gmod and minecraft, the only games were i experienced that "lonely" feeling was in minecraft especially in older minecraft and in source engine games like gmod
You're really good with the horror/creepy related stuff broski. More of that would be great!
This is a phenomenal video, thank you for sharing these places with us
8:30 I think this is kind of close to what a room looks like when you're preparing a show of some sorts. Things are just covered with sheets and the vanilla room hasn't been converted to a different place via illusions.
2:20 - I did the exact same thing! I loved swimming and, in particular, swimming underwater as a kid, so the idea of being able to do that throughout the halls and rooms of my home was uniquely captivating.
7:51 - This is a great observation, and I actually had a dream which illustrated this principle just last night. In the beginning it was set in a natural environment (trees, rocks, water) but at some point it abruptly switched to the interior of a concrete brutalist construction. What was especially interesting was that the location was in some sense "the same"-the space was structured identically; more than that, its "internal logic" or "identity" was the same on a metaphysical level. It was like I was seeing the same place from a different perspective, or perhaps one underlying Platonic ideal expressing itself in two different ways.
Love these maps, will definitely consider adding them as an option for our communities. Could be nice places to wander around while waiting for your friends.
Your voice and the way you talk is very relaxing so the Judeau pfp is really fitting
heard about the creepy maps recently. was hoping someone I trust would make a video discussing them and boom, there you are
Surprised to see this has only 3000 views, after watching the full thing I really expected to see the number in the hundreds of thousands. You really deserve to be way bigger man.
I love this video dude! I'm not even a huge fan of G-Mod but this video was very interesting and engaging to watch and see all of the different maps and their uniqueness/ambiance. Keep up the good work on your channel and I can't wait for your next upload, whether it be more Minecraft or another game/topic, I'll be there to enjoy it!
P.S. you're definitely gonna hit 100k subs (or more) by the end of the year no doubt, and one of those subs is me :)
Thanks! Hope you do enjoy future stuff :)
@@dialko2596 No problem and I will!
Such a nice, comfy video, I love these sorts
Your videos are so soothing to watch and listen to
I love your channel, this restful atmosphere
Perfect game for your channel!!
I love your videos so far, hope you'll deliver more of the content very soon!
this probably won't get as many views as your minecraft videos, and so i want to say that i really like this video and hope you continue to make more videos about random stuff that interests you!
Really great video, thanks for making it :)
2:32 also had similar fantasies in childhood, and to this day I often get dreams where I just see a familiar location from real life but it's flooded, sometimes to absurdly high levels of water (couple of stories) which probably would not be possible even if all the icecaps in the world melted
great video, ima join you in your hobby lmao i found myself also having such interesting thoughts and memories come to mind
what you were saying about wishing you could explore your house flooded, i felt the same way except i always wanted to explore my house as if i was shrunken down to the size of a mouse. for some reason the idea of that was so cool to me, and whenever i played video games back when i was very young i used to always find modded maps that were like oversized bedrooms just because that idea was so cool to me
Well that was a nice video with you exploring and stuff. I think I wanna do some exploring myself too if I find some more maps that is.
Dialko is becoming my favorite ❤ love the silent hill music.
Oh and the Judeau pfp❤❤l
why does every CZcamsr use the silent hill 2 and 3 soundtrack but never 4? 😢 that game has my favorite silent hill soundtrack of all time
It’s possible 2 and 3 are more popular so their music is more well known. Full disclosure, I’ve never played any silent hill, so I just use the music I’ve been exposed to. I will check out 4’s soundtrack though
@@dialko2596 you gotta play sh2, one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had
For me liminal spaces and whatnot can be a tiny bit eerie at times but for some reason it's mostly calming and fascinating, just walking around maps like "places from your dreams" or even the poolroom-like maps really makes me feel good.
4:53 That room though is quite spooky, and I'm a skeleton.
Really liked the video! I like the way the music was used. I'm curious, do you usually write your stuff? or do you record and improvise? cheers!
Unscripted; though sometimes I’ll write bullet points
Nice video posted on my birthday!
I thought i was the only one who dreamt as a child to want to play gmod alot bcs of Vanoss and VenturianTale and when i finally got gmod i started doing what you were doing and it honestly is pretty fun
Dialko this is an awesome video, Thanks for making this. I am going to sleep to this video
I used to enjoy exploring random maps too. There was one I found that was a sort of buildmap but it was really obscure. It was an expanded flatgrass with one walled 'city' that had 3-4 tall buildings, then garages which had elevators that would take you and a vehicle down into an underground area meant for land vehicles. It also had a circular sort of silo door in the center of the 'city' that the garages all faces towards - it wasn't a large city like the other popular build maps, and it was also completely flat. I lost my install and could never find that map again but it was probably my favorite. For some reason it just hit a sweet spot, and I really loved listening to music while exploring it. Anyone might know which map it might be?
4:47 there's something weirdly inspiring about this space, it feels hostile but captures the imagination somehow
nice vid, I can hear u talking for hours and not get bored lol
Awesome video as always!!
Another great video from Dialko
11:45 I remember when my mom still worked as a cleaner for houses with my aunt, she would take me and my cousin to the houses they cleaned. There was this one house, we only visited once but all I remembered was me and my cousin playing pop songs from that time as we played and messed around in a room just like that while we waited for our moms to finish. Besides the jumpscare I got, it instantly sent me back to when I was younger, the smell of cleaning chemicals and all that.
Just found this channel, feels like a time machine back to the early 2010s.
3:28 I can’t believe that after like 18 years I finally found someone talking about this feeling I had for that boss room!
babe wake up, new dialko video
Nice to find someone that shares this hobby w me. I felt like only utubers did it lol
Not meant to be offensive, but this video was amazing falling asleep to. Just a calm tone explaning your enviroment.
I get that all the time, no offense taken haha
If I was a billionare I would have the pool rooms constructed in real life for my own personal use.
i would love for you to cover voices of the void. that game is mindblowing and it really gets the feeling of being alone but not alone at the same time
Playing the twilight princess Twilight music compounds my childhood nostalgia for g-mod and these types of maps 10 fold
