    The Source Engine has led me to so many fantastic experiences, memories, and times, that I just had to make a video about it!
    The music in this video is from the Mother 2 OST, and the Half-Life 1 OST

    Dude this is beautiful. I was immediately brought back to my childhood of noclipping through the entirety of Half Life 2, learning all these input commands, playing Portal, being part of clans back when people cared about that stuff in CS: Source and DoD. I also remember playing a LOT of Sven Co Op. When Gmod came out, bro that was literally the first game I've recorded having over 1000 hours in - I loved it! You mentioning the RP stuff was also bitter sweet, especially knowing that 10 years from now we'll be seeing videos just like yours, but about GTA 5 RPing. Good times.

    Garry's Mod in particular, as a programmer, is so nice. You have a good, thin Lua API over a lot of Source SDK functionality
    For all games, though, Source's console and config system, while imperfect, is powerful enough to make client configuration interesting even for Source multiplayer titles.

    • @tacticaltoaster5777

      Can definitely agree with this. Gmod's allowed to me make so much cool stuff that would've taken ages if I had to start from the ground up. For example, I do development on that Clockwork roleplay framework he talks about, and it alone gives me the ability to build some really cool stuff off of it and make a wider spread of features than if I had to start fresh. I've made a full on botany sytem, energy management, specialized crafting devices and crafting research, sample analysis, ore surveying, collecting, and refining, and a ton more stuff in less than a month's time because of the tools available, all of which is being employed on a sci-fi exploration roleplay server. Great stuff Gmod is!

    I'm glad you brought up Garry's Mod roleplay. It's near and dear to my heart and was an absolutely massive part of my life for the longest part. Sadly, as you said, the community is nearly gone nowadays. But back in its heyday it was a goldmine of experiences. And I do not mean the lite side of RP, or DarkRP which is so in name only. I mean the serious roleplay.
    I've wandered the irradiated wastes of Fallout. I have been the subject of an FEV test. I have been crippled by super mutants and had robotic limbs grafted on, betrayed by a boyfriend gone insane from radiation and mutations, had my bar mortared by raiders, been forcibly recruited into the Brotherhood. I've run away as a prospective rebel in Half-Life, only to be spared and then recruited into the Civil Protection and then ascend through the ranks to become a squad leader and then an assassin. I've been forced to chance down friends and execute them for being anti-citizens.
    I have been a lost, lonely girl with a cursed past, taught and neglected by a benevolent necromancer and then taken in by a far more malicious witch. I've been inculcated into the dark arts and later became a lich. I have been a kindly gnoll shaman confronted by an overzealous hunter but rescued by friends, and later saved those friends with a well-placed lightning strike that brought down a cave's ceiling on top of a skeletal giant.
    I have been a spare pirate, a Brotherhood Paladin, a lone ranger trying to safeguard a small town. I've been a food vendor in neon-soaked streets of a cyberpunk future and been a confused cyborg in a space western. I've been a quarian on colonies and a ship, as well as a turian C-Sec agent on the Citadel. I've crawled through maintenance shafts in the underground tunnels of Metro and fought against the Red Line, helped in infirmaries and served warm, freshly made soup to the hungry. I've wandered through anomalies and lethal gunfights in the Zone as a stalker, made friendships with and offered solace to people.
    So many memories I've made over the years. I hope that one day there'll be a game and a community as rich as Garry's Mod roleplay scene once was.

It flew a lot like a fixed wing aircraft, I could do loops and barrel rolls and everything, and I'd weld the airboat seat to to it, as a well as a camera to the back so I could fly it in third-person. I would go on flatgrass servers and build it and fly it around, and if anyone ever wanted to ride on it I'd let them get in the seat and I'd turn on the camera and just fly around the map so they could look around and see the map from the air. I remember this kid asking for a ride one time and I did all these tricks and rolls, and when I landed and he got off he just said through the mic "that was SO AWESOME" and I was so happy that my creation got that reaction out of someone. Truly happy memories.

    One of the small, sad things I had in my life was not experiencing all of these when I was younger. I was so invested in Gmod culture way back with no means of playing the actual game. This video made me realize that maybe I did not tried enough as a young boy to get what he really wanted. I grew up on those Idiots of Garry's Mods video series and almost all of those pioneers that coexisted on this website. I love that I still had fond memories with key source games especially Left 4 Dead 2 where it was prevalent in LAN cafes in my country, playing with my friends during that time countless hours where our money had enabled us. I would be ecstatic if I had a way to play Gmod back then but it's sad that we are indeed on the tailend of that generation of source games. Technically, Dota 2 is a source game, but it did not had the charm and legacy of say, Team Fortress 2 before it became free-to-play and of course, Garrys Mod. I'd love to go back in time and experience these in its glory, but it is what it is. They'll be relics that will be remembered and you done fulfilled your part in expressing how much these games were loved.

    Bought GMOD back in 2013 after years of pirating it. Until late 2018, i never get any good device to play it, and i missed the time when having fun with group of friends playing Amogus with guns and Prophunt, and the day when i got invited to a sandbox server and crashes my laptop so hard it can't play Gmod again was so much fun. I got a passable laptop that can play the game consistently, but at that point everyone i used to play with get to move on to other games that this device can't play, or vanished entirely. The GMOD construct is basically a ghost town with only i had the gall to pay a visit now.
    And let's not forget when the golden era of Garry's Mod ended, the day when we never expected it, the year when we hoped the future of Gmod and Source Engine to thrive and shine bright. January 24, 2015, the day when the legend died, the day when the trailblazer fades away, the day when the fireworks trail's ends, and so does the passion that drives the community onward. What follows was the start of dark age for Source Engine and all of it's related games and their community; stagnant of updates from games with slowly dwindling playerbase, the heavily prioritized DOTA 2 starts taking over other devs from other project to essentially run it (to a lesser extent, CS:GO) leaving other games effectively abandoned with only few devs that can be counted with your fingers remaining, other big creators leaving the scene for good or switch to another subject, and other games and genre providing more than what Source could. I would say that Gmod interest has slowly dwindled after the death of Colin Wyckoff, the guy who managed to run something with it and etched a wonderful memory to millions. He may not be the guy who kickstarted it, but his creations inspired other players to do the same and he's been very supportive to anyone whom he cooperates in their project.
    It's been a while now since his passing, and the community slowly resurging. The fact that it's more likely that Valve will make another single player game than having a major update for Team Fortress 2 is a mixed feeling for me but it's still something i would like to. Rest in peace, my man. The heavens welcome have opened their arms for you. If you can listen to us from there, would you say something in return?

    I played gmod for a bit when I was a kid, but usually only by myself since I was always really nervous to join servers. I wish I did though, I feel like I missed out on a lot of fun stuff and could have made some good friends :)

    I'm still close friends with a group of people I met on a Gmod RP server 4 or so years ago and while that server died 2/3 years ago, we still play games weekly even to this day. Always gonna have memories of the Sourse engine thanks to that

    Source was part of what sparked my interest in game design back in the day, in conjunction with the art direction in games like Homeworld and developer behind-the-scenes content from the Halo franchise when I was in high school.
    Then I got out of high school, went to an art school with a focus on game design, and that, combined with more personal stories from within the industry, made me hate it so much I quit that path and enlisted.

    I really hope they give Source 2 the same SDK treatment as the original Source, with almost all of their development tools and software being available for anyone, for free. I hope, in however many years from now, someone will make "A Love Letter to the Source 2 Engine"

    Thanks for the nostalgia trip for garrys mod, I forgot how much of a fever dream gm_construct could be and laughed myself to tears at your last montage. I miss that game.

    Ngl I didn't know source community was so huge. Yeah I played basically all of the Valve games based on it and a bit of gmod but because of limited time I had I never really got into it. Although I did make a map for Portal 2 fan organized contest and I kinda regret not continuing to make maps after that.

    I had so many magical moments in left 4 dead 2. I still remember to this day how my first interaction with source games was through some German RUclipsrs playing left 4 dead 2 and 8 year old me being totally amazed by how fun a point a to b campaign based game could be (with friends of course)

    15:30 shit, of I'm not mistaken, is that the video from WayneradioTB where Scorpyy (Benrey's VA) was messing around with that one Gmod avatar mod thing? Leadhead you're a legend and I really appreciate this video. And I liked that you mentioned 3kliksphilip, he's another RUclipsr I really enjoy.
    As a younger lad, I came on to the source scene relatively late. I played Portal 2 when I was 11 and that was my first exposure to source. I finally got around to playing more source around 2016-2017, when I was 15, and damn source is good. And you're right about GMod, I got that back in 2014 and damn that was just a great game to have as a kid. I love this video. Thank you for making it.

    I remember first getting Gmod three months before the release of Fallout 4, to waste some time until it launched. Ever since it's become my most played game, with 2369 hours logged in, I'd say only 50 of those hours were spent in servers, as with all servers I joined the playerbase always either seemed incredibly hostile towards me, or the admins were childish. I will never forget a time in a darkrp server, making a 1 man stand against a rival gang repeatedly breaking rdm and nlr rules as they were friends with the owner, and the police players, or in another being in a police chase, sitting on the back of the car and firing at the police before crashing at a mcdonalds and having a shootout there. While I will never once touch Gmod servers again, I will never forget the times I had in them

    i met one of my best friend 4-5 years ago in a gmod cinema server, we watched some weird videos and what not and started talking on steam then discord when it became a thing, i met him in the netherlands not too long ago and it was a really nice day, its absolutely crazy how it happened and against all the odds but thanks to gmod i made a good friend, every source game is incredibly important to a bunch of people

    Source changed how I view games, I study so much about other engines and it's become an addiction. And I couldn't be any happier.
