The common rule of mutting the micspammer, is that in doing so is a confirmation of your own homosexuality. You must respect the man who micspams, as he is generous to be the DJ of the server.
@@somerandomkid9976Depends. Is he playing good music? The DJ here is playing some good music, so muting him would confirm homosexuality. Anything that’s not good allows you to freely mute with no repercussions.
I really appreciate the dedication to eloquence in this thread. We do not simply say, "(Insert racial slur.), you gay." 🤬 No, we communicate: "Dear fellow, you felt it wise, at this time, to publicly confirm your homosexuality?" 🧐
This video goes extremely hard. At first I thought it was a server plugin but it turns out it is actually micspam of the highest quality. Very nice. Of course it's ryan gosling too.
I love the goofy fun you can have in multiplayer matches like this. Playing them made me realize how soulless and devoid of feeling newer multiplayer games and communities have become. I hope Valve updates the other games like this so we can have a resurgence!

Hey, I was here when it happened! You can see my name in the killfeed or chat sometimes, I was the guy going by the name Gordon Freeman. With Steam P2P bringing back the chaos of Half-Life, I think nature truly is healing at last. Hope that magnificent micspamming bastard, Ryan Gosling, is doing well! There were a few times that other rival micspammers tried to take his spotlight, but none of them could compare.
You don't get experiences like this now. It's just matchmaking now, with a bunch of people who you will never encounter again after the next 10 minutes, in an entirely vanilla scenario, in pursuit of filling some xp bar. You see how those other players are dancing around? They are happy. You can tell just from the body language that the other players are only there for the simple reason that they wanted to be there, not because it was required to unlock the next best gun or something.
0:41 i was 7 years old when i first played half life deathmatch and some dude was playing that song for the whole entire game i never thought i will ever hear eminem rap over half life 1 gunshots again
Every GoldSrc game server aiming for this kind of throwback vibe needs a Mayan cell phones guy babbling in chat, if it really wants to be period accurate
The only thing he was missing are the weird curveball picks people had. French Canadian rap, Russian hardbass, some god-awful country song they like that’s never even charted - etc. Also, Creed
The cultured Gen Z-ers headbang and groove to these beats. Listening to these songs on CD and growing up without internet to rot my brain was one of the best things that ever could've happened.
reading the comments and witnessing & listening to the songs of that time in the video, really brings out a Wow feeling like viewing a window into the past, this is what many childhoods grew with, some people referencing games ages old and that one guy recognizing the gman squad series this was the life, the stuff back then wow wow wow wow man posted this a week ago but it feels like an unearthed time capsule i can just grasp the feel of that time, the era that i never existed in and it's just micspam
Man, even though I never played this back then (console gamer), this era of music combined with just a purely for fun free-for-all deathmatch gives me massive nostalgia. I've tried a lot of the new multiplayer games- Fortnite, Overwatch, Valorant- but none of them have the same vibe older games had. People played just for the fun of playing in the past, now it feels like you play to grind a battle pass or to gain a rank, and even if you want to play for fun the gamemodes always suck (I swear any gamemodes with teammates always either have me angry, or my teammates getting angry at me). I might have to download Half Life deathmatch again and give it another go, there's always at least a few active servers.
Man the mic spamming really made me nostalgic lol. What a better, simpler time, no MMR, no tryhard competitive, just playing the game for the sake of playing the game.
yes our games were actually fun want a new skin? just put it in the proper directory no cash shop and you could say the gamer word all you wanted in fact i'm gonna say right now

thank you gaben, for giving us the chance to show the modern world what it was like for us in ths 90s
This was my experience in 2007 vro
It's 2000 tho
some of these song are post 2000
This was literally me in 2019
We all had this experience up until around 2012ish things started slowing down in the half life/source engine world.
With such music taste I wouldnt mind the micspam
I can't decribe how happy I am to see HLDM exploding in popularity again. It's like the early 00s all over.
for sure, good memories
Based pfp
Probably because people are getting bored of battle passes and other mumbo jumbo in modern fps games. This is just pure fun.

Every lobby should have its own DJ.
Shout out to Ryan Gosling for being an amazing singer.
thanks man
This feels so warm and familiar.
You know you are in for a good time when you play HLDM and see some guy named after a celebrity mic spamming.
What a time to be alive.

may not last forever but im glad i got to experience it again

Words can't really describe how authentic lobbies like these are. This is how games should be.
This video convinced me that all old school DM lobbies need music that sounds like it was ripped from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

With the low quality of the songs i doubt it
i never experienced HL until like 2013+, and even though i never lived the 90's this is somehow nostalgic
maybe this is what we were made for
bro's got GREAT taste in music.
hats off to the guy for shouting out the Gman Squad
The kind of micspamming you can't even be mad about.
The zoomer quivers in fear watching this
The cultured Gen Z-ers headbang and groove to these beats. Listening to these songs on CD and growing up without internet to rot my brain was one of the best things that ever could've happened.
And I thought TF2 was crazy... Boy, how wrong I was. THIS IS THE PERFECT 90'S BRAINROT GAME!
HLDM is a magical experience when you join the right server
Now that the servers are actually filled with players, time to try your luck!
I had no idea Ryan Gosling was a gamer
I'm pretty good too
The vibes here are just unmatched, it's beautiful
I literally encountered that same Ryan Gosling guy playing music in voice chat, needless to say it did make the goldsource experience even more golden
mans a legend

Amazing tracklist.

mic spammers blasting music are a rare treasure, bless the admins for not muting/kicking him.
Can't be a HLDM micspammer without What is Love played at least once... and Clubbed to Death.

Huge respect to Rayan Gosling for being DJ for 10 minutes and 13 seconds straight
