the first couple years a lot of people can go through "baby blues" where they may have thoughts or feelings of regret due to the insane stress having a baby brings. It's not that they don't love their kids, it's just hard for them to see through the unique depression and wall of never-ending stress. Thats why they say quiet kids are easy kids
@@muscleman125word, im not a downer regardless of the Blues tho and there are tons of parents who have 'blues' and dont just stop at that line of 'takes a lot of my time' Lol. the original criticism still stands even in the face of nuance, suck my balls. hes not saying hes smacking up his baby or anything, just the way he talks ab his kid is funny bc its off. also the last line of your comment- 'thats what they say' lmao. 'they' being people you dont have to fundamentally agree with unless you're a coward. not everyone is seeing through a fog of depression and even those who are- can be considerate and on any spectrum of giving overtly displayed affection towards their children.
I played the 1.6 crackhouse, cs_paintball and the starwars map he mentions. They were extremely popular custom maps back in the day. They even were still being played when CSCZ got made.
I don't remember that map specifically, but 'speedball' maps were really popular at one point. They were all rooms with wooden structures with different layouts. They were a lot of fun.
I LOVE hearing the stories of maps, and I remember first playing a Zombie Survival version of this map on Gmod of all places. Awesome music choices btw.
I would love to imagine Mike's son, when he's 9 years old, starts playing some form of future gen CS due to the peer pressure at first, but genuinely enjoy it after. Starting to comb through the older, classic maps. Mike's son stumble upon cs_crackhouse, and his old man would have a hell of a story for him.....
Having played and loving "cs_drugbust", it has a major flaw. Since nobody hosts any online servers of it, the only real way you can play the map is offline. But for whatever reason bots happen to be able to see through the wooden fence surrounding the house and will not hesitate to wallbang the fuck out of you through it.
The only way to enjoy it with people is to play with a bunch of friends on lan or a private server. Truly a shame this map doesn't have the recognition it deserves.
It seems the wooden fence is just a flat texture with collision on it. You can probably add a thin brush based wall to fix the issue of bots seeing through it.
Same! When I got into the map for the first time in Pavlov I was like "Woah... I've been here!" I thought it was somewhere I'd been irl because it was so familiar but it was just from all the gmod dm I used to play lol! I should get back on VR haha
i had the same feeling, i used to play this map a lot on a little mobile game called block strike, i just recognised it bc of the last shot off the map on the video haha good times@@ashleycarr9958
I miss the variety and chaos of old school counter strike. Designing games for esports really just leads to taking a belt sander to the whole experience and smoothing out all the rough edges until all thats left is a smooth, featureless blob with no interesting or unique characteristics. Its really a shame that they bury the community server browser in GO and funnel the vast majority of the playerbase away from any custom content.
Esports is everything I hate about sports, with none of the good stuff like encouraging healthy living. I've stopped playing online games that have matchmaking.
@@gamerman7276 I play in the VR Master League and personally I really enjoy it. money isn't involved unless you're way up at the top so really I just play because I love the game we play and I love playing in a team, it's a real thrill and I wish there was more esports like it.
@@gamerman7276 stuff like american football cannot be healthy for you, but yeah most simpler sports like running or swimming practically require some health
I just love the fact these maps were made by kids. They didn't care about design discipline, whether if they'd be feasible in real life, or even if they were balanced most of the time, they just wanted to stick as much cool sh!t into the level as they could without it crashing. It was all about making it fun!
great memories of purchasing a gaming laptop and playing this nonstop on summer nights. I really miss the user-made multiplayer content in most contemporary titles
jesus christ dude, i subbed because one video was extremely well made, but you're just pumping these out like its no hassle at all! Good work, keep it up!
I absolutely love this video, I'm only 23 so I never played 1.6 and barely played CSS, but I'm still nostalgic for those times and I love hearing the story behind this map. The way you were actually able to contact the creator and to hear that he had a child really brought it all together. Thank you for this vid.
Private public servers where you would meet up with many of the same people everyday and play custom maps, have map votes etc is what made OG CS so amazing. I met many friends that I still talk to playing maps like this one in public servers. Gives me intense nostalgia and definitely makes me miss the good old days of CS.
Yes, yes and yes. As a poor kid I always played pirated versions and finally got to buy all the older CS versions recently. They still feel a lot better than the newer versions specially for that reason. I guess it's because downloading assents would take too long for the newer ones?
This was a really beautiful video, thank you for making it. Most of the time i'm never satisfied with a RUclips video and this one really got me from start to finish, so thank you very much for making my year.
I'm 6 months late but just seeing this video in my recommended brought back a huge flood of memories of playing css deathmatch on this map with a friend who has since passed away. Thank you for covering stuff like this, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had a similar experience with your videos at this point.
The algorithm likes you a lot man you're going places. Your content is well made. That intro is memorable as well. I didn't realize until I clicked on this video that I had already seen a video by you. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see more from you!
Bro this put some much character and humanity to this map and many memories, its crazy to think how many maps and patterns from video games that were just made by normal people and even high schoolers
Love to see this history behind what I spent so much time playing on. Your videos are great and I’m glad to find other Source fanatics stuck in 2004 in 2022
just want to give you your flowers, you have some of the best intros on this site. your content is even better, but god those intros bring out nostalgia in me I can’t explain
Honestly the quality of your videos is insane, given the low amount of views. Your style reminds me a bit of Nick Robinson, only, y'know, without the whole sexual harrasment shit. Cheers.
@@Ilikewater-andice dude got fired from polygon or something because of sexual misconduct, might have been with a minor, maybe not, i can't be bothered to check rn. He's an asshole and has been avoiding the allegations for years now.
Sick video. Feels refreshing to not only get to experience some of the magic of the old golden days of gaming again, but also just to hear about a healthy video game community doing what they do best. Awesome editing style as well, by the way
Thanks for the vid, subscribing right away. Reminds me of the costum map scene of StarCraft and WarCraft 3, was really a blast. Was a great era in gaming to be a part of. Peace from Sweden
Wow, I had no idea our textures were part of such an iconic map in the CS community. The early 2000s really were an awesome time period for mapping and mod making, so many great memories!
I'm so thrilled to see such an awesome old map get this thorough of a looking-at. So many great memories of playing the original on Condition Zero (Splak server, iykyk)
The most mind-blowing thing is how he just off-handedly mentions he made the winter version of mansion. I played that map for literal years never knew who made it. Now i know why I liked it.
I love these kinds of videos. I'm someone who has spent way too much of my life playing CS (mostly 1.6, but a good amount of CSS and eventually even a bit of CSGO) and it's just incredible to see someone go and re-visit many aspects of CS in *such* detail. Well done, friend. I hope you do a video on "fy_iceworld" and its many variations (fy_iceworld2k, fy_snow - the best of the bunch, imho). I'm not entirely sure how popular Iceworld was in CSS, but on CS 1.6 it was one of the early SUPER popular "fun maps". I'd give 2nd place to fy_pool_day. A few others worth mentioning: de_rats (I've barely played this one myself, but it was insanely popular with many people), cs scoutzknivez, aim_ak-colt, aim_map_usp. I'll stop here. Thanks for such an awesome video.
Your footage of De_Survivor and mentions of Cs_paintball and Starwars brought back some serious nostalgia. I remember playing all of those maps as a kid and driving the Landspeeders and giant sandcrawler, but it was super easy to glitch the sand crawler into the map.
Thanks for the effort you put into this video. The original cs_crackhouse was very influential to my childhood years. It was nice to have insight into the guy who created it. and it makes it much more relatable that we've all grown up since those days, and our lives are driving us into a new and unsure direction. I'll end the rant with a thank you for this effort. Would you make a video in similar context in regards to the original Scoutzknives maps?
amazing video, instant subscribe, keep up the good work! absolutely love the art style in intro / outro.. and of course the background music choice is absolutely heaven to my ears.
im a sucker for moments where lost media or lost/dormant creators of media show up again in some good capacity, its just that warm feeling that something hasnt been lost to time.
I play Arma 3 and run into Mike every now and again. Really chill dude and 99% of the player base over there doesn't know his past. When I said that he's the dude in charge of CS crackhouse I was called a Crack Pot.
Subbed man, dope video. I loved playing crackhouse as a highschooler, just back to back to back respawns. Feels cool to share this nostalgia, I never had friends who played PC games with me, I was always alone online. So these videos kind of affirm my childhood.
I remember playing bunch of different gamemodes on this map. From zombies to hostage and generic team-match. Sometimes hanging out in the empty map after no one else was online. It had a really weird atmosphere that I thought was fascinating. I'm a nerd.
Oh my god! I always thought this map was a fever dream. When I was a kid I used to try and play cs:s on my brother's pc and he always put on this map. Thank you so much.
so many memories came flooding back watching this. Valve fucked CS by pointing people more towards official servers. Community servers were so damn good.
this video was really good beside the rant about how the war on drugs actually caused the militarzation of the police and the increase of no-knock raids on alleged drug houses! Otherwise, great video!
3:27 I think the computer room is the lookout law enforcement use like in the movies. Where they spy on criminal deals, and that rooftop is a perfect place to spy on the illegal substance headquarters
I'm new school, started playing csgo in 2013-ish. This video is very interesting, and that intro is one of the best intros I've ever seen for a youtube channel. Ez sub.
I used to be a dedicated CS and HL maps creator. I loved mapping so much and spent lots of time for my pleasure working on filling them with Easter eggs and polishing the most of the time. Tried to make them as perfect as engine would allow me with all its limitation. Can remember few like de_dryway for CS; and ambush & fellaville for HL deathmatch. Careless and happy days when russian hl community were making a real massacre on them. I still have an urge to finish some works on progress but there’s lack of motivation knowing that it would likely stay unseen, you know. Thanks for video, I love content based on hl1 mapping stuff.
I feel like I got recommended a video of yours before in the past. this was really good. I especially like the way you jokingly stuttered it's very realistic
I'm an OG started on 1.6. I played the crap out of cs_crackhouse I remember always looking it up! I also played that starwars map where you can drive the huge sand vehicleand pod racers! So COOL!! Awesome video keep it up!
Shout out to Mike and his 9 month old (and of course the lady that popped that spawn out for him). Lots of memories from the map, and hope he has found something to put that ingenious creativity into nowadays.
CSS Crackhouse holds most of my memories of CS gaming in highschool circa 2005-2009. I remember loving crackhouse. The weird thing is I just recently redownloaded CSS and the first thing I did was find a crackhouse lobby and play DM. I lost 2 hrs quickly. 2 days later this video popped up in my feed. Thank you ❤️
crackhouse always reminded me of ba_jail_electric There were so many genuinely well-made jailbreak maps out there, but for some reason everyone kept coming back to Electric, despite being one of the most poorly made maps ever. It was the same story for crackhouse, no matter how many better versions of it were made.
"I live in a low-income housing environment....."

I love vids like these even though I'm terrible at mapping, great vid bra
CSS Crackhouse holds most of my memories of CS gaming in highschool circa 2005-2009. I remember loving crackhouse. The weird thing is I just recently redownloaded CSS and the first thing I did was find a crackhouse lobby and play DM. I lost 2 hrs quickly. 2 days later this video popped up in my feed. Thank you ❤️
I love the drum n bass music through the video! Caught my attention for sure

I don't even know why, but I'm really find it interesting to know about creation of the maps that I have never heard of before
Subbed for that glorious username. I don’t care what you post, I’m here for it
crackhouse always reminded me of ba_jail_electric
There were so many genuinely well-made jailbreak maps out there, but for some reason everyone kept coming back to Electric, despite being one of the most poorly made maps ever. It was the same story for crackhouse, no matter how many better versions of it were made.
Thank you for bringing back this memory♡
Love the Ridge Racer 4 music in the background. Keep it up mate
Crackhouse and poolparty servers were so much fucking fun back in Source. Legendary vid man
when the music kicked in at 3:29 i was magically transported back in time. glorious nostalgia. great vid!
out of curiosity, what's the song called?
