"Getting a hold of this source map creator was kinda hard." Yes, they are an enigmatic bunch. They have an odd habit of vanishing for seven years, going to college, jail, or auspiciously dying of unknown circumstances. Code monkeys live interesting lives.
I think it's mostly because the Source engine is relatively limited in how it percieves geometry, as it really likes rectangles, but not really curves, so most map makers just stick to that to make things less confusing for the player, resulting in very blocky maps. Furthermore, many map makers who don't do huge collaborations usually use premade textures, and the textures from Valve (though mainly friom HL2) basically have aged a lot, as these textures often depict materials that have more depth, but the resolution of it just doesn't allow it to have any illusionary effect, thus always appearing flat, plus relatively low-res, making it look really, really dated.
Same feeling I get when I join an empty server of a balloon race only server in TF2, reminding me of my pirate adventures in those days and how I made things fun by spamming pirates of the caribbean music, but nowadays, nobody plays on them unless it casually exists in other servers for a short time.
I got the weirdest vibe from this video, not from the TH-camr or anything, but it felt very surreal to see you explore this big map all alone with just NPCs and shark monsters to keep you company
@@isrv whats crazy about it? I have like hundreds of hours in singleplayer gmod, i loved it as a kid it was like playing with LEGO but with more stuff to do
@@Sheogorath- i did it too you’re talking to a man that would play cs_office in counter strike source with nothing but bots 12v12s because I had no money and no internet when I was like 22in 2011,at my lowest point in my life damn near homeless with an aging gpu and no motivation to pick my self up I had nothing and all I could do is still find a littl glimpse of how life once was every time id run office when life used to be normal and I had a pc when source was in its infancy I would crank the graphics all the way up and just explore aztec in amazement getting lost in all the detail emptying my magazines in the water all alone just me and the map sounds I would do that often hehe and yeah I remember the day garysmod came out and I was like “wtf is this” it was strange and unusual but very creative none the less I would definitely find my self on that for good amount of hours when I started getting into it your time came after mine that’s forsure but I’m one of you always have been always will... ✨
The way this map is made reminds me of some of the tycoon games you could play on Roblox way back in the day, what with the buttons labelled with text sprites that spawn physics objects that you use to collect other physics objects in what ends up being an enjoyable jank-fest.
I love this series. Brings me back to the good ol' days. But i also enjoy that it shines a spotlight on some less known or forgotten maps. Mappers are the most creative people out there, and it's a shame that most smaller maps get lost.
It's so rudimentary in so many ways, and yet oddly calming and pleasant. Maybe that's just because I grew up on the Source engine so everything feels so familiar to me.
Hey Whomobile, me commenting again. You've painstakingly blasted through several high hp destroyable walls in this map which must have taken forever, as it is taking long even sped up for us. You can change the player damage of the crowbar to easily destroy these insanely strong destructable objects/walls that are in most Obsidian Conflict maps with "sk_plr_dmg_crowbar x" which lets you control the crowbar damage and one-shot those 5000 health obstacles. Very useful in oc_harvest since I bet you're just fainting by the thought of destroying all of the branches and logs covering the harvest field next to the house. Cheers.
This is just such a chill map. It would work PERFECTLY if it was ported over to gmod. I really miss maps like these, you can smell the passion from it. The gun seller being called the "Dealer of Rightousness", the archaic and confusing/janky mechanics, and the large scale. The apartments that are just there for flavor/RP. So good
@@medicindisquise4271 for real, i miss when downtown_v8 and that one city map with the giant mayor's office tower and gas station out front weren't the default DarkRP/Realistic Roleplaying maps, they had all those weird downtown offshoots, custom shit like this, and straight up strange places made for specific roleplay gamemodes i miss gmod 11 because of this
@@lookingforsmalldads7588 there was/is a gmod RP gamemode called 1942 RP. There used to be only one server running it, but despite that it was my favorite gamemode to play. The map was just perfect, sorta like this map in that there were objectives to chase such as gun shipments in the sewers for the cops/rebels/random assholes to try and loot. The prison had a secret button rebels could push to let prisoners out. Cops often made fun little obstacle courses or straight up barricades to prevent the frequent prisoner breakouts from overwhelming them. There was also a dock where a lot of factions loved to hand out. There was lots of fun and cool corners to camp out away from the nazi's base. Damn you just brought me down memory lane. Nowadays the server died and while the gamemode still runs, the new servers use a bit of a soulless derivative.
Man, oddly enough this video gave me a lot of nostalgia for Roblox, cuz a lot of early Roblox maps (2008-2010, maybe 2011) had extremely similar systems and map design sensibilities in them. I guess 2000s community-made multiplayer stuff had a lot in common.
Obsidian Conflict was nutty, you just HAVE to review oc_harvest next video Whomobile! Seriously, I can help you with 90% of the secrets for that map if it's too obscure to find info about through study. I've played it a lot.
I like how this map goes from "Let's desicrate these islands natural resources for our own profit!" to "Let's explore ancient underwater ruins and find the seven chaos emeralds to open a teleporter!" to "LET'S GO TO FUCKING SPACE"
This is such a relaxing video for some reason. Maybe it's the seaside/abandoned aesthetic the map has, your voice, the music or the fact that you're playing and doing all these things by yourself. It almost feels like a surreal dream. Either way, this is a very creative map concept and it looks like it could be a lot of fun with more players!
its feels scary about the lonelyness and how a person manage to mantain the island and sell things to unknown people outside the island, but ofc its will be a tons of fun if play with some buddies and your best bro, awesome maps
Thank you Whomobile for putting together such a loving video. It would have been too easy to point and laugh at how amateurish some things are, but instead you reintroduced me to secrets and mechanics I had long since forgotten.
God damn, I miss diving soo much when I used to play this map all day long over a decade ago on OC RP server. That was soo much fun, I wish it was back one day since I miss working as a moon rock miner...
This is the first video i've watched on the channel, or about this kind of "money making" halflife mod. It's absolutely fascinating. This feels like if animal crossing was made by Hexen II developers.
It's so awesome seeing these complex maps built without any advanced scripts and add-ons. It looks so janky, but I can imagine myself playing this one for hours a few years ago. I wish you do a video on more RPG-like type of maps.
Sadly this one dosnt give you points. I had about 5 minutes of footage of me gunning down seagulls. I left it out because it didn't fit anywhere and kinda made me look like a psychopath.
obsidian conflict is without a doubt one of my all time favorite mods, i just wish more people knew about it and that it still had a more active community
@@arandomguy8979 They implemented all the half life 1 enemies in source well before black Mesa source was even out. It's a lot like what scen coop was for the original half life. So not only do you have NPCs from all half life games up to episode 2, you have really cool unique coop maps with a lot of awesome scripted content like this. Truly recommend you give it a shot if interested, though it's a bit hard to get it working atm.
This video has such a powerfully relaxing combination of elements to it... A beloved old game that still has so much to explore even to this day, a rediscovered map that without players, gives off an eerie yet cozy “backrooms” feeling, and our host with his calming speaking voice interjecting briefly with carefully considered words and demonstrations I find it difficult not to choose this to doze off to when I can’t sleep
The thing I love about these videos, it's like someone going to a theme park going over each ride and explain how they work but nobody is there. Just him all alone going over all these things meant to be enjoyed by many.
Yeah, there is some real charm to this in it's simplicity, secrets aren't just pointed out hard (or at all?), no huge UI, just a map that you explore while making a profit. Really cool all together.
Wow, I didn't know maps like this existed for Half Life! After spending some time downloading obsidian conflict, I started playing this diving map and it was a great experience. Then I joined a server and played for hours with some randoms who were all interested in diving :D
Damn this reminds me off those really old fishing maps on Gmod where you got a rod with a rope and that scuffed large hook, cozy vibes also oh god oh fuck i miss breakfloor, most of the maps does indeed seem lost to time like a ton of older css maps
This map used to be used in shipbuilding simulator servers, they were a ton of fun, however people made submarines with wiremod and broke the mode for me at least
your weird maps videos have such a relaxing, ethereal quality to them... just the music mixed with the exploration and slow paced narrative... it's just really enjoyable to sit through these. keep doing what you're doing!
I love the quiet time your editing style provides. The lack of instances where the video cuts from one line to another allowed me to really relax and engage with the easy-going and comfy nature of things in this map as you casually went about business. All that nostalgic half life 2 sfx and pleasant music combines for a super cozy atmosphere. Then whenever an explanation was needed, you'd pop up for an insightful point. In other words, this shit neat (:
I have no idea if you intend to branch out into goldsource territory for this series, but I think Turrican's Secret City series is a prime candidate for being picked apart and examined because they are filled to the brim with secrets (hence the name, in fact its the main part of the gameplay to find secrets to continue progression.) You got a sub from me though, great work and presentation!
I would hate this map. The water in Gmod/Half Life terrifies me. Remember those sinking ship maps Acid made? I despised those maps. (I still played them for some reason).
I love these videos, hope they keep coming out eventually. They're so... cozy. I always watch 'em right before bed as I'm eating. Perfect way to wind down and finish my day. The music choices, your voice, and the eerie peacefulness of the maps themselves make me really sleepy - which is a good thing!
Please do more OC maps! I loved oc_diving a ton back in the day, it was so exciting finding all the secrets and learning how to beat the map and launch the rocket. I'm so happy to see this map brought to light again in recent times!
Ropinion I mean I think this video already did an excellent job of that. Which parts are still confusing for you? Oh and I’m referring to _v9, it’s the version I primarily played.
Ropinion I think the clearest goal / end to the game is getting to launch the rocket. Once I get that firework box and plane that the video showed in the end I pretty much consider that to be the end after that. But overall it is a very sandbox like game in nature and doesn’t have a definite win state though, at least none that I know of.
I'ma be real with you this is the kind of map I would've played for hours and hours on my own back in the day. Watching this gave me loads of nostalgia for a map I've never even seen before. This is why I love your channel so much, keep up the good work!
i have this map open on obsidian conflict right now, i like to play diving or harvest alone sometimes for a nostalgia trip. they just never get old to me. what a weird coincidence that this video is in my recommended right now! btw you should totally cover oc_harvest if you haven't already!
I really like all the videos on Weird Maps! By the way, I think the music that you used very often in this video is very well suited to the series! This music gives vibes from the 2000s or 2010s. I think this fits with the series, since all the maps that you looked at were related to these times in one way or another. Goodluck with other videos!
I'm probably missing something really obvious, but every time I try to launch this map the merchant doesn't work. Everything else works as intended. Buying and selling, buttons, bank, but the merchant at spawn just doesn't work.
hmmm I've never run into this problem myself, have you disabled NPCs or anything? I think there's a few settings in the server launcher you might want to play around with.
@@Whomobile I'm pretty sure NPCs aren't disabled, and if they are, then it must be a very specific command, cuz sharks still work. I've made a small video showcasing the problem and what I've found so far. th-cam.com/video/XFpbsSRzUto/w-d-xo.html (sorry about the resolution)
I remember playing so much of this map and other similar fishing esc maps. Outside of that realm, cardwars was a favorite map of mine back in the day. Thank you for reawakening my nostalga
How so? I love that game as well, I kinda can see where you are getting at, but that is a completely different type of game so I can't really enjoy the contrast as you, but I'm glad you know of Little Big Planet 2. Game was the tits.
Found this through the recommended tab. Absolutely loved the esthetic and level of detail of your explanations, something really nostalgic and hidden about it. Great work my man!
All of these chunky brush based vehicles are reminding me of that one starship troopers space ship map that always seemed to be missing textures. I think it was sst_bahamut_v2. Though since you like water in source, it may be worth looking into the gm_ship series of maps. That's another one where another iteration was in development and never saw release, I think.
This map makes me want to get good at map making and make maps like this. *However, a GameBanana moderator gave me a 1 month (30 day) suspension from uploading maps because they were too low quality, so that might not happen anytime soon*

Will you do a Bigcity one too? Big Boat? Do you mean, glitch boat that gets stuck midair, breaks physics forever or gets stuck in the observatory just cause someone put the secret chest filled with trash inside of it and opened it on the wall? LOVE IT! I miss breaking the Rocket Launch, sometimes it would no launch, sometimes big boat broke physics and got stuck on it... Or people shoved props in it that it would instead fall down. I miss those times, damn.
Thank you for not having tons of super loud and obnoxious meme references in these. I hate when youtubers who make these sort of mature videos suddenly interrupt the chill atmosphere with earrapey memes
These videos are awesome man, you help connect people and they're a cozy way to explore the projects people have worked so hard on. Or just had fun making, it's a really good way to keep maps alive in memory and a way to inspire people to get into mapping. Keep up the great work Whomobile
I've never heard of this mod but the gameplay you showed looks like it would be fun with a lot of players, its a shame the newer version isn't playable because it looks very neat too, cool video.
MrSändman same. I’ve never even remotely heard of or seen this map, and never even played the mod it was for, but I think there’s something about the source engine itself that does it to you. Maybe you played Garrys Mod, or CSS, and remember screwing around with cheats. I got a huge rush of nostalgia just by him mentioning sv_cheats 1, remembering the countless times I did that in private tf2 servers and the like.
@@starbound03 I don't really have any childhood memories attached to playing GMod, but this video did get me nostalgic.... for Roblox. I feel like a loooot of Roblox maps back in the day had very very similar systems in them in terms of progressing and like monetary stuff, as well as map design sensibilities.
16:56 [beep] Connection terminated. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name. But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift. You have not been called here by the individual you assume, although you have indeed been called. You have all been called here, into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection, and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit. A maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach. But you will never find them. None of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well. I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away, as the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors: be still, and give up your spirits. They don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace - and perhaps more - waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although, for one of you... The darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the Devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day - the day you were shut out and left to die - no one was there to lift you up into their arms, though you lifted others into yours. And then, what became of you. I should've known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then. So let me save you now. It's time to rest. For you, and to those you have carried in your arms. This ends for all of us. End communication.
I don't know if you read these comments, but yesterday i booted up OC and found a server called "Here from Whomobile" i entered and there was 12 people playing. I had a blast exploring OC's maps, thanks for reviving the game for a moment.
Wasn't mentioned in the video but I remember there being a combat challenge inside the warehouse. Don't remember details on how to activate it, though. Might've been a serverside mod.

I cant wait until 5 years later where my brain digs this map up from its depths and i wonder if it was a dream
your weird maps videos have such a relaxing, ethereal quality to them... just the music mixed with the exploration and slow paced narrative... it's just really enjoyable to sit through these. keep doing what you're doing!
These maps fell extremely lonely. It reminds me of those old "mist" games.
Yes
I love the quiet time your editing style provides. The lack of instances where the video cuts from one line to another allowed me to really relax and engage with the easy-going and comfy nature of things in this map as you casually went about business.
All that nostalgic half life 2 sfx and pleasant music combines for a super cozy atmosphere. Then whenever an explanation was needed, you'd pop up for an insightful point.
In other words, this shit neat (:
They way you explore reminds me of me playing garrys mod back in 2010.It's so surreal.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some TH-camrs had a entire series based on this map with friends
I'm glad that my hobby of exploring eerie source maps is shared... it's honestly more compelling than horror games
Well, source maps have such a strange but very cool atmosphere
I have no idea if you intend to branch out into goldsource territory for this series, but I think Turrican's Secret City series is a prime candidate for being picked apart and examined because they are filled to the brim with secrets (hence the name, in fact its the main part of the gameplay to find secrets to continue progression.)
You got a sub from me though, great work and presentation!
Hell yes +1
would you ever do a future episode on oc_harvest? it has a ton of secrets and it would also be pretty cool if you would be able to get a hold of tysn
this is a pleasant video series. i enjoy listening to you talk about these interesting little source maps
I would hate this map. The water in Gmod/Half Life terrifies me. Remember those sinking ship maps Acid made? I despised those maps. (I still played them for some reason).
For me its the opposite, I LOVE the water, especially the beach and the ocean, I can understand why some people can dislike it however.
I love these videos, hope they keep coming out eventually. They're so... cozy. I always watch 'em right before bed as I'm eating. Perfect way to wind down and finish my day. The music choices, your voice, and the eerie peacefulness of the maps themselves make me really sleepy - which is a good thing!
Please do more OC maps! I loved oc_diving a ton back in the day, it was so exciting finding all the secrets and learning how to beat the map and launch the rocket. I'm so happy to see this map brought to light again in recent times!
can you explain oc_diving to me?
Ropinion I mean I think this video already did an excellent job of that. Which parts are still confusing for you? Oh and I’m referring to _v9, it’s the version I primarily played.
@@2muchrubik no i mean whats the goal like what do you do in it.
Ropinion I think the clearest goal / end to the game is getting to launch the rocket. Once I get that firework box and plane that the video showed in the end I pretty much consider that to be the end after that. But overall it is a very sandbox like game in nature and doesn’t have a definite win state though, at least none that I know of.
I'ma be real with you this is the kind of map I would've played for hours and hours on my own back in the day. Watching this gave me loads of nostalgia for a map I've never even seen before. This is why I love your channel so much, keep up the good work!
It would be cool if this could be brought into gmod
The wife said fishing or me, I miss her sometimes
My ex wife still misses me...
*_BUT HER AIM IS GETTING BETTER_*
You really should do more weird / interesting maps because I like these.
i have this map open on obsidian conflict right now, i like to play diving or harvest alone sometimes for a nostalgia trip. they just never get old to me. what a weird coincidence that this video is in my recommended right now! btw you should totally cover oc_harvest if you haven't already!
I really like all the videos on Weird Maps! By the way, I think the music that you used very often in this video is very well suited to the series! This music gives vibes from the 2000s or 2010s. I think this fits with the series, since all the maps that you looked at were related to these times in one way or another.
Goodluck with other videos!
I'm probably missing something really obvious, but every time I try to launch this map the merchant doesn't work. Everything else works as intended. Buying and selling, buttons, bank, but the merchant at spawn just doesn't work.
hmmm I've never run into this problem myself, have you disabled NPCs or anything? I think there's a few settings in the server launcher you might want to play around with.
@@Whomobile I'm pretty sure NPCs aren't disabled, and if they are, then it must be a very specific command, cuz sharks still work. I've made a small video showcasing the problem and what I've found so far. th-cam.com/video/XFpbsSRzUto/w-d-xo.html (sorry about the resolution)
@@mecromelon6717 Yeah, sorry, this is beyond me. Try asking the OC team for help, They have a link to their discord in the pinned comment.
@@Whomobile Thanks for the help anyways.
I remember playing so much of this map and other similar fishing esc maps. Outside of that realm, cardwars was a favorite map of mine back in the day.
Thank you for reawakening my nostalga
Hello! I play OC too! If you want we can play together ( i like cardwar :D)
Cardwars was the best
This map brings back memories of Little Big Planet 2 city levels...
thank you Whomobile.
How so? I love that game as well, I kinda can see where you are getting at, but that is a completely different type of game so I can't really enjoy the contrast as you, but I'm glad you know of Little Big Planet 2. Game was the tits.
Found this through the recommended tab. Absolutely loved the esthetic and level of detail of your explanations, something really nostalgic and hidden about it. Great work my man!
Raphael Dapalma Same. I guess the TH-cam algorithm is good sometimes, I’m definitely subbing.
All of these chunky brush based vehicles are reminding me of that one starship troopers space ship map that always seemed to be missing textures. I think it was sst_bahamut_v2.
Though since you like water in source, it may be worth looking into the gm_ship series of maps. That's another one where another iteration was in development and never saw release, I think.
fascinating, I was big into source mods years ago and never heard about this
I played a lot of zombie panic and similar asymmetrical team games
This map makes me want to get good at map making and make maps like this.
*However, a GameBanana moderator gave me a 1 month (30 day) suspension from uploading maps because they were too low quality, so that might not happen anytime soon*
I've literally seen an ahegao hoodie for pokemon sword and shield get by no problem. What the hell kind of maps were you uploading? lol
@@donhuea447 A Counter-Strike: Source map that I took a lot of time to make sure was balanced for both teams and takes place on a mountain.
*WHY DID THAT GET BY BUT NOT MINE!?*
@@donhuea447 My map was taken down within 10 minutes of it being up
@@butterdogestarwars6709 That mod sounds like a complete dickhead tbh.
@@adirblazkowics7717 100% sure this dude is leaving out some actual vital information so he doesn't look like a douche.
Would maybe be nice to have a quick recap on wth obsidian conflict is
the phrase "anti-shark snark" had me in stitches for some reason
If you're looking to replay Obsidian Conflict, I made a guide on bringing the game back to a working state so you can explore it (it even works with friends!)

Will you do a Bigcity one too? Big Boat? Do you mean, glitch boat that gets stuck midair, breaks physics forever or gets stuck in the observatory just cause someone put the secret chest filled with trash inside of it and opened it on the wall? LOVE IT!
I miss breaking the Rocket Launch, sometimes it would no launch, sometimes big boat broke physics and got stuck on it... Or people shoved props in it that it would instead fall down. I miss those times, damn.
Thank you for not having tons of super loud and obnoxious meme references in these. I hate when youtubers who make these sort of mature videos suddenly interrupt the chill atmosphere with earrapey memes
Obsidian conflict is a great mod, though I kinda wish some of their gamemodes got gmod versions. Like cards.
Same
Those goldSrc sound effects are very nostalgic
These videos are awesome man, you help connect people and they're a cozy way to explore the projects people have worked so hard on. Or just had fun making, it's a really good way to keep maps alive in memory and a way to inspire people to get into mapping. Keep up the great work Whomobile
'Bean Brains', I like the sound of that name...
The Water in Source is so beautiful
This map, paysan, and harvest are based and comfypilled
Oh dang i loved this map back in the day!
also griefing people with the plane was pretty fun
I've never heard of this mod but the gameplay you showed looks like it would be fun with a lot of players, its a shame the newer version isn't playable because it looks very neat too, cool video.
I always loved upgrade maps, espically the original rocket research and development map for L4D2
This is art. Incredibly creative and innovative.
I feel nostalgic and i don't know why...
MrSändman same. I’ve never even remotely heard of or seen this map, and never even played the mod it was for, but I think there’s something about the source engine itself that does it to you. Maybe you played Garrys Mod, or CSS, and remember screwing around with cheats. I got a huge rush of nostalgia just by him mentioning sv_cheats 1, remembering the countless times I did that in private tf2 servers and the like.
Source engine is nostalgic, especially somewhat janky things using default hl2 assets.
@@starbound03 I don't really have any childhood memories attached to playing GMod, but this video did get me nostalgic.... for Roblox. I feel like a loooot of Roblox maps back in the day had very very similar systems in them in terms of progressing and like monetary stuff, as well as map design sensibilities.
why do i have a weird nostalgic feel while watching this?

[beep] Connection terminated. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name. But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift. You have not been called here by the individual you assume, although you have indeed been called. You have all been called here, into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection, and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit. A maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach. But you will never find them. None of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well. I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away, as the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors: be still, and give up your spirits. They don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace - and perhaps more - waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although, for one of you... The darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the Devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day - the day you were shut out and left to die - no one was there to lift you up into their arms, though you lifted others into yours. And then, what became of you. I should've known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then. So let me save you now. It's time to rest. For you, and to those you have carried in your arms. This ends for all of us. End communication.
ngl for me that’s the canon ending

"We also have the loot crate, no subscription required." Took me so long to figure out.
Harvest and Diving were my favorite maps in OC.
This map looks good for Gmod rps
I don't know if you read these comments, but yesterday i booted up OC and found a server called "Here from Whomobile" i entered and there was 12 people playing.
I had a blast exploring OC's maps, thanks for reviving the game for a moment.
Yeah someone asked me about it the other day. that's not my server just to be clear lol
@@Whomobile why don't you hop in?
195.208.108.2:27015 Anyone can join in, we are playing Diving rn.
Wasn't mentioned in the video but I remember there being a combat challenge inside the warehouse. Don't remember details on how to activate it, though. Might've been a serverside mod.
Probably serverside, I've never seen a combat area in that section

This should be turned into a standalone game, to be honest.
Your map videos feel like a real life version of The Beginners Guide. I love it.
I'd love to see something like this on GMod, you have no idea.
I really love this series because alot of the maps featured on this list I have huge nostalgia for them, Keep up the good work!
oc_harvest and oc_paysan and this map were the relaxing and fun maps
oc_kake and the oc_cardwar, always good for a relaxing cooldown after some tense overwhelming stressmaps like oc_starshiptroopers...
12:53 the music really gives this feel like there’s something bigger going on
These videos are so relaxing yet interesting, I love it
thats right i'm just hoping he made more of werd maps
I wonder if the person who buys the moon rocks in diving is cave Johnson?
Hmmm...
