@@RichterOvertime yup! one thing I'd say is I think it was originally uploaded in september 08. I remember because fallout 3 came out a month later and I was super hyped! oh and as far as I can tell nobody ever talks about the secret way back into the spawn. it involves trains >_>
@@waffleMccoy You drop the gnome down the outhouse’s toilet. Once he reaches the bottom, the toilet seat blows up and you can drop down into it. You find the gnome coloured brown and making half life zombie noises nonstop. Y’know, because you dropped him into literal shit.
Man, The map, the way how it’s recorded, and the balloons on the dancing ragdoll make me wish we can go back to those times when GMod was the shit everyone wanted.
Seeing one of the very first maps i ever downloaded off the workshop back in the day, mere months after it was uploaded there, being labelled as a forgotten classic makes me feel real old.
4:25 the irony in talking about irradiated Fallout lakes while showing a picture of an explicitly clean lake that the NCR Army at Camp Golf (whose watch towers are visible, identifying this as Lake Las Vegas) get their water from... I love it, unintentional or not.
When me and my friend realized there was a secret room under the outhouse that seemed to be impossible to get to, we dropped a flashlight down there, and had one of us lower a camera while the other would watch and see if anything was down there. Good times.
deadass this is kinda inspiring, ive been trying my hand at these kinds of videos for awhile and seeing someone actually do well with them gives me a lot more hope, hell maybe we could even work together on something sometime :)
I liked to explore these types of maps when I was a kid. There was another really good one similar to this that i think predates it, that had a place called sandy shades, a vault, and i think the military base from fallout 1. I wish I remembered the name, it would be cool to see you show off that one too
I still remember when this map first came out, It was shortly after I had first gotten into GMod. It holds up extremely well. It was really impressive to see something with that level of polish and visual coherance, there wasn't much to compare it to as far as custom maps go, and where visually interesting full-grid maps were a novelty. This was back in an era where even gm_bigcity would cause many people frame dips. I was never much a multiplayer kinda person but It did see quite a bit of time from me messing around, and It ended up proving useful shortly after in a GMod video. This was well put together! I'd love to see more individual map showcases like this.
@@RichterOvertime We need more youtubers like you. Everyone wants the old days of youtube to come back yet they don't do much about it. Keep up the good work!
You know I'll be honest I mostly clicked this for nostalgia but I just wanted to say your presentation is good, much better than what I expected for a gmod map over view just all around, good job
The GGG servers were where I spent the majority of my 1500+ hours playing GMod, circa 2008 to 2010. Shout out to Setze and rest of the crew, wherever you are in life.
Pretty good tour my dude aswell as the editing but I greatly do remember playing on this map alot back when I first got into Gmod and I'm happy to see people remember playing on this map aswell 😄
this video is amazing! great breakdown of the map with detailed info, and the background info is incredibly valuable insight! i played a bit of darkrp several years back and had some fun, though i always felt in over my head, but this brings up some memories haha. the info included about darkrp regarding this map is what rly makes this video unique - only someone who really played this map could give that. very clean piece of documentary on a classic gmod map!
This and Bigwig's bigcity and buttes maps were commonplace on the ACF servers I frequented. For Atomic, one of those servers would have Mad Max themed events, so I took a 1950s style sedan I made, turned it into a monster truck covered in spikes and improvised armor, and put a 75(?)mm howitzer and machine guns on it, plus a skull on the steering wheel for good measure. Led raids on the shanty town, and forts set up at the oil tanks and the gas station. Fun memories.
Lol, I remember wanting to play this map as a kid but it required Episode 1 & 2. That's when I learned you could download all the assets from CSS and the Episodes from an unofficial site and put them into Gmod. This was the first map I played, then I proceeded to go on a downloading spree of all the maps I wanted to play but required CSS.
Man, I love Atomic. I got some great memories there from when I was younger. Me and my pals used to always roleplay that a nuke went off and we hid in the gas station. One of the first maps I downloaded.
Me and a friend of mine always spawn aa guns, artillery cannons and rebels with aks and try to defend the bunker from combine soldiers and gunships. Its fun.
OKAY Richter this map is cool and all but I'm trying to find another one from the same time that was a representation of Fallout 1. It had Sandy Shades complete with the cannibal in the well, a vault, and an underground military base. One of them was connected to an outhouse I think... I'm going nuts here it was like something desert v2...
Fun fact, my most favorite (we'll say "retro") map for gmod, phys_house, is nearly on it's 15th birthday. Plenty of older hl2:dm maps turned gmod maps and some others meant for zombie survival are nearing 12 years and older.
I never knew I actually saw gm_bigcity before, but I had heard of it multiple times from one of my steam friends basically only playing on it while playing gmod. Hilariously, I'm pretty sure the first time I saw it was before I got Garry's Mod, and in a TF2 video.
I like gm_atomic. It was the first map where I worked for many hours decorating some of the areas to make them seem like they were lived in by post-apocalypse survivors. Sadly, lost that save when I accidentally deleted it.
this needs more views ill see you all when this is above 10k or 100k views 5:05 the castle crashers castle interior song caught me off gaurd cause i have a soundtrack open and i thought it started playing lol

is that the real bigwig? if so it's a pleasure to see you here!

But how big is your wig?
daaamn the legend is here
Bigwig lol I know 👍🏻
You were supposed to throw the gnome in the bathroom sink in order to reveal the ggg easter egg
Didn't know that!
what heppens
@@waffleMccoy You drop the gnome down the outhouse’s toilet. Once he reaches the bottom, the toilet seat blows up and you can drop down into it. You find the gnome coloured brown and making half life zombie noises nonstop. Y’know, because you dropped him into literal shit.
@@mrviking2mcall212 wow
you never said anything about the "unsettling" door in the settlement bunker, unless the gnome was it
twas the gnome, yeah
"The Man Comes Around however is included because Bigwig has good taste."
Agreed.
Man,
The map, the way how it’s recorded, and the balloons on the dancing ragdoll make me wish we can go back to those times when GMod was the shit everyone wanted.
That's the feeling I always hope to deliver with my videos.
Ever since I got into retro fps games I've found so many underrated RUclipsrs such as this fellow
Thank you man!
ok peter
Hearing Half Life and it's mods be described as retro made me feel so old, and I'm not even 25 yet.
Hearing gmod being described as “retro” sucks the soul out of my being
@@SCP--oz6oz Hi I don't even remember making this comment. I'm really hoping I meant Half-Life 1 and not Gmod when I said this

Another great vid Richter!!
Yo

Oh shit its the hl beta man

I'd love to see more!
Soon!
Seeing one of the very first maps i ever downloaded off the workshop back in the day, mere months after it was uploaded there, being labelled as a forgotten classic makes me feel real old.
ahh, one of the 3 cool apocalyptic maps
what are the other 2? I have a liking to Aftermath
@@RichterOvertime rp apocalypse, and aftermath
I didn’t even know this was a popular map. I just had it and remembered it having Fallout music in it.
This is such a rush of nostalgia, I remember roleplaying by myself on this map lol
Me too
same
Fallout is so nostalgic. Also has the weird emptiness of gmod (liminal space)
MAAAAAAYYYYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
YOUUULLL THIIINNK OFFF MEEEEEEEE
4:25 the irony in talking about irradiated Fallout lakes while showing a picture of an explicitly clean lake that the NCR Army at Camp Golf (whose watch towers are visible, identifying this as Lake Las Vegas) get their water from...
I love it, unintentional or not.
"it's heavily inspired by the Fallout series"
Yes I can see that the color pallet is a million shades of gray.
Don't forget the classic piss filter on new vegas
@@flameywisp4818 new vegas fans when they go to mexico:
Not to mention it plays metallic monks in the background an ambient track from fallout 😆
So many memories from Fallout BOS RP servers on this map.. Great video!
this looks like something i'd see in 2016
The cute piano music over the narration of the gas station makes me think of a post-nuclear real estate salesman.
When me and my friend realized there was a secret room under the outhouse that seemed to be impossible to get to, we dropped a flashlight down there, and had one of us lower a camera while the other would watch and see if anything was down there. Good times.
Very well put together video and good mic i hope to see your channel grow
Thank you so much!
Brings the memories back, thank you and also, great video!

I like how you speculate on the "lore" of the map like the crater and such, I feel like gmod map videos miss stuff like this.

Oh man, this makes me have a nostalgia trip
It's not forgotten, well, at least not by me. I still love playing on it
Oh god I remember this! Thanks for making a video on it.
What a great video! Thanks for uploading it
Your videos are super good, you should really make a lot more of these!
hey thank you man, more vids on the way if you wanna see em subscribe!

I love this map so much glad somebody is talking about it
So much nostalgia unearthed!
Damn!
idk what it is but i really like the way you made aspect ratio of this video square rather than a rectangle
MAAN I STILL USE THIS MAP YEARS LATER.
ITS SO GOOD.
patrolling gm_atomic almost makes you wish for an HBOMBS nuclear winter

It’s rp cs desert you’re looking for my friend
@@RichterOvertime Dude that's totally it, thank you!
this video gave me whiplash
Ah. Atomic! One of the first custom maps i ever downloaded
It's a gmod map "review" I love that! Been a while since I wondered if they existed and glad I stumbled here.
I had no idea three of my favorite maps were made by the same guy, it's like looking back on people you've dated and realizing you have a type.
as a kid I used to love playing this map and making NPCs fight each other all around
this video being in 4:3 really gives it a classic gmod video vibe
i really like your style of videos, with the sd form factor of the video
HE MADE BIGCITY?!? I THOUGHT BIGCITY WAS JUST A STOCK MAP
it wouldn't be on the workshop if it was.
@@alexrva433 hmm yes the oxygen here is made out of oxygen
This brings back memories of me doing CWRP where we would have missions on the map
Nice video. Your comedic timing has gotten better as well.
I hope you do more of these, Good vid
I and you have been blessed by the algorithm with good content
I love all his maps. Historic to my golden days of gmod
Hey sir overtime the rick, you missed the tiny patch of dirt at the street.
The fact that this video was made in a square format gives me nostalgic youtube feels.
that's the goal!! :)
On a quick note, you can drop the gnome into the outhouse to access the Easter egg room without using a camera. That's all I have, great video!

Fun fact, my most favorite (we'll say "retro") map for gmod, phys_house, is nearly on it's 15th birthday. Plenty of older hl2:dm maps turned gmod maps and some others meant for zombie survival are nearing 12 years and older.
I've been here a few times on missions as an Imperial Army Trooper of the Galactic Empire.
I remember this on old gmod and the map was so big I'd crash after a few minutes of laggy gameplay
Me and some buddies would load up atomic and mess around for hours. Used to love whipping around in a TARDIS.
that headcrab jumpscared me at the end
Gotta appreciate the curator
I still play on this map, that's how good it is.

You only just started commentary style videos and your works already seems to be at least semi professional in quality.
You will go far.
