Thanks for all you did for the community Nipper! Also thanks for giving me and my childhood friend sleepless nights with endless laughs with all the func_vehicle shenanigans lol
thank you nipper for everything you've done, I don't even play counter strike and I've played your maps because they're popular on gmod, your legacy goes far beyond Counter-Strike
Your maps were legendary, man! Especially your surrealist/abstract maps. The whole J2 abstract mappack was a masterpiece, and the fact that you had all those other mappers (HomicidalApe, Dr. Boo, AlphaKennyOne, MrBlip, BobJones) inspired to make maps in a similar dreamlike-style shows how influential your creations were. Also, it may sound weird but I have a playlist on my phone I've kept for years of music loops from songs I like, including a bunch of yours as well as ones I made. It has almost 400 in the playlist, haha! Thanks for the inspiration!
I loved your css maps, sucks that func vehicle wasn't ported over to source though, I've played pretty much every one of your maps, and dragged my group of friends onto all of your abstract maps to view them as a dynamic art gallery. You really expressed something that I don't think is ever done, as much as pretentious people want it to be, and thats using games as a medium to make art. What you've made is the closest one can get to an experience of art in a 3 dimensional interactive environment. It really reminds me of this place called the mattress factory, its an art museum with installation art exhibits, the entire room is the art, similar to how each room was like a piece in your abstract maps. I wish more people explored this idea, I myself tried but didn't have the talent and creativity you did.
Nipper’s abstract maps and de_vangogh always have a special place in my heart. I love it when mappers take the game and put it in the realm of imagination. Reminds me that there are still creative and talented people working on games.
That was an awesome video, sadly I wasn't a PC gamer around the time CS 1.6 was big so I missed out on the magic, it's always great to hear from the prespective of someone who was there!
What a sweet and heartwarming tribute. Didn’t make me all weepy but it left me with a broad smile on my face towards the end of the video. It really is amazing how much of an impact Nipper had made over the years, how many people from all around the world (myself included) he had inspired, whether he’s aware of it or not. Thank you for this amazing video
I wasn't around the CS era, but i remember lurking on his maps in GMod. It is tons of fun and amazing how well he designed his maps and uses the Source Engine entities and textures to think "outside of the box". I still have a folder here with most (if not all) JoeTo abstract maps and i ocasionally boot gmod just to walk around them, or to listen to the music cuts on the maps. Those looping ambient music cues along with the environments they are placed in never, NEVER, gets old. I wish one day i could thank him aswell in a similar way and congratulate him, because he is, very, VERY skilled on mapping.
Thank you for making this video, I'm so glad someone was able to document a piece of history that will always stick out in my memories and stay close to my heart. Games today just don't capture the magic like these custom maps and gamemodes did.
One of the textures for his house map is that of his family's glass/china cabinet, which I saw had the Utica Club "Schultz and Dooley" beer steins in. Something that's super central/upstate NY. Just a cool thing to me since I'm from the same general area.
It's awesome that you noticed that! My dad collected all kinds of stuff from old Buffalo area breweries and pieces from his collection show up in a bunch of my maps.
not gonna lie, this is what i love the most about cs 1.6, the mechanics for the most part stay the same most matches, but with such a large selection of maps, that are good, and free as well, really adds to the replay value.
it'd be interesting to see a similar tribute, but to 3D-Mike, I really loved his maps, he put some attention to detail that I didn't see very often in official cs 1.6 maps
yeah, his official page says he's from the netherlands. and yep, his style added that little something that made his maps look so good. Also hey! I used to love your G-Man Squad videos back in 2008 when I was a teen! good times lol
this is an insane video and not enough views are being funneled in. I hope the algorithm blesses you as it has blessed me with this beautiful piece of gold content
long live the imagination and spirit of NIPPER. the whole golden era of gaming, pub servers, and LAN parties wouldn't have been the same without him. shoutout to he_glass (if u know, u know :D)
Just came across this after looking for a crazy tank video to show a friend, that was something else, thanks for making this! Nipper maps on CS1.6 with my best friend was basically my childhood.
the experience I had of finding BLAHHH, then ZUHHH, then de_20th, and then this video today felt like I found an ancient society built around worshiping some guy who made maps around cars back in the day. Great video!
I watched this video some months ago and adored every second of it, it also made me regret not having played the CS 1.6 maps but I realized that I actually did play maps made by him, they were for sven co-op: Dark Island and USP Ninjas (the latter also being a cs 1.6 map)
I wasn't around on the golden age of CS 1.6, but I played Nippers maps on Gmod with 2 of my friends, we saw blahhhh and duhhh at first and we were a little fearful because we didn't know what to expect, but we started exploring and it slowly turned into mindless fun as we were screaming and laughing with all those crazy things, good times. So just like this fell in love with Nipper's maps and I gotta thank him for all the good memories.
i literally jumped in shock when i saw you only have 911 subs!!!! WWWTTTFFF???!!!! these video essays are awesome, like you're an actual art student trying to make a case for your own work, this is so indepth, flows so well, fuuuccckkk if this is what youtube into the 20's looks like im happy
I played 1.6 from 2005 until roughly 2013. I can without a doubt say that NIPPER and his funmaps were some of the best multiplayer gaming memories I've ever had in my life. Being able to be part of the J2 map reveals from the CC were the equivalent of a AAA game releasing on a Friday night after school.
Amazing video and such a great homage to the greatest level designer this world will ever see. I've spent many many hours playing packed servers on nipper maps growing up. He has always been an inspiration and a hero to me. Keep up the great work, krazzy!
Dude made so many memories, I remember playing in fun maps clan servers, C4A and CKW non stop. Literally fun maps servers that ran nipper maps 24/7 that was my childhood growing up. I miss the glory days of CS1.6
I just commented 6 mins ago but I finished your entire video and I had to compliment on your work. Very, very well made video! You put into words exactly my experience growing up playing Nipper maps. He also inspired me to get into making maps for cs and I also joined Joe's server back in the day trying to be in the same server as Nipper. Now I can share your video with everyone I know to help them understand this great time I lived through. Like you said in your video, I didn't realize at the time how great this experience was until it was over and I'm looking back at it now. Thanks again for making this great video!
Finally, a full video on the legend! Thank you for making this, I loved exploring his surreal levels in GMod, even though I wasn't there when they came out.
CS2 was the final nail in the coffin for custom maps and game modes in CS. It seems that Valve is neglecting what made their games so magical in the past; something that fancy graphics, skins and a new engine can't make up for. Community...
This vid was perfect to relive those memories of playing these awesome maps. You really captured how special it was back then. I was around on the j2 forums as Realism.
So that solves the mystery of the Nipper guy. I was a huge fan of him and he was my inspiration at the time making maps. I knew he was a CS addict. May he live good days. Nice to know about him. Legendary status in the CS 1.6 scene acheived by him. Love from Pakistan. I used to play here his maps.
A super underrated video! I wasn't aware of Valve games back in the day but I did get to experience some of Nipper's maps later through GMod. I absolutely love hearing stories about old video game experiences and creative online communities, I could listen to it all night.
I first encountered nippers Maps on the G mod workshop. And immediately I fell in love with his map design, and I only recently found out the person who reuploaded the Mabs on the steam workshop wasn’t the guy who created them. And because I liked his Mabs so much I want to find out who he was and things to this video. I got to know a lot more. so I want to say thank you so much for making this video so I can learn more about this legend
Nipper for me really made CS 1.6 last a lot longer before the game felt old. I loved his maps and I think I did actually play a few games of CS with him. You mentioned func_vehicle not being used a lot before Nipper, but I remember won CS 1.0 playing jeepathon2k. There were even Star Wars levels I remember playing with vehicles, but maybe Nipper made those too? Don't know.
I played nipper maps when I played 1.6, but ironically enough I only ever played on the source maps he made by loading them up in Gmod, I did enjoy some of his remakes of his 1.6 maps too, the only thing I ever used cs source for was office 24/7 and zombie escape.
Nipper is a complete legend. I had so many many hundreds of hours of fun playing crazytank and ahhhh and all his other epic maps. Wish I could play them these days.
this was great, man. these maps occupied a large portion of my adolescent development. i wish that magic could be emulated and i could experience it again, but it's long gone unfortunately.
Krazzy, I just watched this for the first time today, Dec 25. What a great Christmas present! Thank you so much. I loved it and will rewatch it again and again. Everything in this is so well put and absolutely true as if you pulled it out of my own thoughts. Cc_Hairy. I Love It.
Miss you big boss! Running around in the Battlefield games in my adolescences with you and NIPPER were some of the most formative times for me. You both set such good examples for me and had so much patience and etiquette. Damn, I'm near tearing up writing this. Thank you so much for the memories.
blahhh will always have a special place in my heart, back in the day the server i played on would vote for it to take a break from killing each other to help each other get to the secret spot
Bro 20 minutes ago I tried to look up this weird funky and fun map i remember from cs1.6 and I now have a legend and more than 100 maps to download I really struck gold
You run an excellent channel! Please continue making content as long as you can! I dearly love this game and our efforts to document its history means so much to all the fans. Thank you for what you do.
Nipper's legacy even goes far beyond Counter-Strike, I don't even like CS and I know and played his maps because they're popular on gmod. I was either a baby or not born yet when he was making maps, I'm 18 now and his legacy still lives on to this day
I know! It's hard for me to watch this video back. Its an emotional experience for many players from that era. We really had it good. Really appreciate you and happy you made it to this video with a shared sentiment. It's truly beautiful.
Holy crap, I'd never have thought somebody even remembers this legend, now all these years later somebody made a video, wow ! Edit: The nostalgia here is insane.. played some of that stuff on a LAN when I was 13 or so. Also, didn't he also make maps for the Sven Coop mod ?
I didn't know that nipper was a person, I just through it was a map.... nipper_opus with zombies was my jam for months and months when I was bored with normal games.
Its sad that these days are gone. I know you can still host a server and have different maps but its just not like CS used to be. Now its mostly focused on the competitive gameplay. CS used to just be about hanging out in a server with the same group of people and just messing around.
I had a very similar experience, nipper was probably my favorite mapper, I was introduced to his maps on a "fun maps" server, the only difference in my viewpoint is that actually I prefer his css maps, the abstract maps made for css and his various other maps like livehouse deadhouse etc, are still used to this day in garrys mod and the fidelity of css in the maps is vastly superior, like have you played argghhh, zuhhhh or nipper's_opus? they are beautiful with the music included to set the atmosphere of disparate rooms
you got a little too cute with this but i still definitely approve. idk some of the details and screenshots really aren't necessary, the video portion should just be non stop map footage. but you did great with that. you also go from telling stories about yourself and how you felt, to talking about nipper. you are going back and forth a little bit too much so the VO got confusing
mein gott i always freakin'loved the NIPPER maps in CS when i was young to now, some of NIPPER's finest works are on Garry's Mod as well they're a freakin' beautiful classic mainly those blahh duhhh or uhhh etc maps with all the odd sounds odd stuff & or some of the awesome music used in some rooms
Hopefully one day wherever NIPPER is he will have a son to continue his legacy making maps in secret & releasing them for all of the great games that had heart, you'll see NIPPER Jr hidden in the maps, what a great thought
Did anyone figure out how to get to the end room in zuhhh? I tried to add nipper like 13 years ago and he never responded. Got pretty far in the process but never finished it
that's just beautiful man, thanks 😀 Shoutouts to the j2 crew and func_vehicle forever
Thanks for all you did for the community Nipper! Also thanks for giving me and my childhood friend sleepless nights with endless laughs with all the func_vehicle shenanigans lol
do you ever sit and think about the impact you've had on so many peoples' lives, Nipper
you're a GOAT, man

8:06 I just realized this was recorded on the GoldSrc Saturdays Counter-Strike server! I recognize those bot names :)
I appreciate the server! The bots aren't too grilling either. Wish I could TK them when playing CTs on as_crazytank though. Thank you.

Fantastic video, share so many of the same feelings. Miss those 1.6 days on the NIPPER map servers.
Playing nippers maps with hook mod led me to the Wroaw community server where i met some lifelong gaming friends. Forever in debt to this great man.

This guy really true legendary map designer btw I enjoyed his map back in 2010 he a truly hero of map designer thank you Nipper.
dude massive nostagia. Thanks for the vid - really brings me back to my childhood!
3:35 very smooth boi 😎
So is NIPPER who i have to say thanks for making my childhood the best his maps in cs 1.6
blahhh will always have a special place in my heart, back in the day the server i played on would vote for it to take a break from killing each other to help each other get to the secret spot
I worked with this dude at a part time job, very quiet dude
Great video man, loved all the maps that nipper made.
6:10 I think blahhh was inspired by the old online game WorldsChat. The abstract locations and sharp transitions between them are very similar
Bro 20 minutes ago I tried to look up this weird funky and fun map i remember from cs1.6 and I now have a legend and more than 100 maps to download
I really struck gold

thanks for the nostalgia man. played the absolute SNOT out of these maps. anyone remember paul tokenhold?
Who was Paul Takenhold?
@@krazzy6440 ran a server that was just nipper maps back in the day. had a great community but shut down randomly.
Amazing video. I love the cs mapping scene
Thank you for this, it brought back many memories 🥺
air_fight2 was equal to cocaine at a point. We used to play the hell outta those vehicle maps. ❤😢🙏🏼🥺
Nipper's legacy even goes far beyond Counter-Strike, I don't even like CS and I know and played his maps because they're popular on gmod. I was either a baby or not born yet when he was making maps, I'm 18 now and his legacy still lives on to this day
love your videos!!!! it’s really cool to hear about the old CS history in the culture surrounding it. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!
Func_vehicle can be replaced with func_tracktrain on source but it still won't be same
This made me so nostalgic for the early 2000s.
thank you for making this,i almost cried...ive never liked a video game as much as cs 1.6
I know! It's hard for me to watch this video back. Its an emotional experience for many players from that era. We really had it good. Really appreciate you and happy you made it to this video with a shared sentiment. It's truly beautiful.
Wow, what a flashback. So many of my teenage summer days were spent in as_crazytank & blahhhh 😆. Thx for all of your work NIPPER!
I hope the algorithm takes you up. I can't believe this channel having below 1000 subs.
Nipper will live forever in the history of FPS
Just realized I've played some of these maps on Trouble in Terrorist Town
He made some amazing maps. I always liked Westwood and Haunt the Haunted mansion ride . Now that takes some serious talent
Nipper's maps were awesome on Source as well!
Always liked the surreal style of his maps
Glad to see this legend being celebrated long overdue
Holy crap, I'd never have thought somebody even remembers this legend, now all these years later somebody made a video, wow !
Edit: The nostalgia here is insane.. played some of that stuff on a LAN when I was 13 or so. Also, didn't he also make maps for the Sven Coop mod ?
Yes he did! His Dark Island conversion to SC was quite a challenge.
blah was the jam. we should start a cs 1.6 server and run games every couple weeks
Nipper really loved the creepy baby faces in Blaaahh
M3 servers in the US still run nipper maps, and im pretty sure the owner was a member of CC.
I didn't know that nipper was a person, I just through it was a map.... nipper_opus with zombies was my jam for months and months when I was bored with normal games.
lovely video
So many good memories. Long live nipper.
Its sad that these days are gone. I know you can still host a server and have different maps but its just not like CS used to be. Now its mostly focused on the competitive gameplay. CS used to just be about hanging out in a server with the same group of people and just messing around.
I will have to winBSP some of his maps and dig around in JACK editor. How awesome
If Nipper is still around,
I’m Gonna tell him that func_vehicle is back in Half Life for its 25th anniversary lol
9:11 what map is this pls I forgor
func_vehicle is a right, not a privilege.
This is the greatest video ever made.
Why thank you friend. :)
beautiful video
I had a very similar experience, nipper was probably my favorite mapper, I was introduced to his maps on a "fun maps" server, the only difference in my viewpoint is that actually I prefer his css maps, the abstract maps made for css and his various other maps like livehouse deadhouse etc, are still used to this day in garrys mod and the fidelity of css in the maps is vastly superior, like have you played argghhh, zuhhhh or nipper's_opus? they are beautiful with the music included to set the atmosphere of disparate rooms
great video bro
God bless you man
this guy nipper sounds really cool! is he still making maps? maybe he will make another one in cs2!
your vids make me want to buy cs 1.6
You should! Valve complete pack is $7 during sales.
6:29 what map is this?
you got a little too cute with this but i still definitely approve. idk some of the details and screenshots really aren't necessary, the video portion should just be non stop map footage. but you did great with that. you also go from telling stories about yourself and how you felt, to talking about nipper. you are going back and forth a little bit too much so the VO got confusing
woah nipper made crazytank?? I had no idea.
Great video
mein gott i always freakin'loved the NIPPER maps in CS when i was young to now, some of NIPPER's finest works are on Garry's Mod as well they're a freakin' beautiful classic mainly those blahh duhhh or uhhh etc maps with all the odd sounds odd stuff & or some of the awesome music used in some rooms
Hopefully one day wherever NIPPER is he will have a son to continue his legacy making maps in secret & releasing them for all of the great games that had heart, you'll see NIPPER Jr hidden in the maps, what a great thought
nice, very hauntological
Did anyone figure out how to get to the end room in zuhhh? I tried to add nipper like 13 years ago and he never responded. Got pretty far in the process but never finished it
Nipper is legendary. :-')
nipper made the first next bot
