A Love Letter to The Source Engine

The Source Engine has led me to so many fantastic experiences, memories, and times, that I just had to make a video about it!

The music in this video is from the Mother 2 OST, and the Half-Life 1 OST

Gmod is a kindergarten that doubles as a mental asylum for when the kindergarteners grow up

Hearing "Among Us with guns" really just hits different.

Before watching the video, my first thought was "without Source, I wouldn't be a gamedev right now".
And that's what you talk about. Spot on !

"Say Hello to the Cheese"

i love how one of the main arguments is that “it’s broken which means it’s good”

Dude this is beautiful. I was immediately brought back to my childhood of noclipping through the entirety of Half Life 2, learning all these input commands, playing Portal, being part of clans back when people cared about that stuff in CS: Source and DoD. I also remember playing a LOT of Sven Co Op. When Gmod came out, bro that was literally the first game I've recorded having over 1000 hours in - I loved it! You mentioning the RP stuff was also bitter sweet, especially knowing that 10 years from now we'll be seeing videos just like yours, but about GTA 5 RPing. Good times.

I haven’t launched Gmod in 4 years. It is still my most played game on Steam, gapping my 2nd most played game by atleast 200 hours. Nothing can ever recreate the lightning in a bottle that was Gmod in its prime and it makes me sad.

I swear the next merch drop better have a shirt with "say hello to the cheese" written on it

[junktin]

"It's the cheeses!!"
Omg that was hilarious hahah i wish i had played gmod back then! I only watched it when i was younger

[CalavErik]

I remember as a kid firing up my pirated copy of GMod and just going solo into Construct to spawn a lot of enemies and see how they fight. How many headcrabs do you need to kill an Antlion Guard? The only answer I ever got was "more than my computer can handle".

[therealwetwizard]

Hearing about the man say "It's the cheeses" is one of the funniest things I have heard.

[valourcium]

source never gets enough recognition for what it did for gaming, nice to see someone actually appreciates it

edit: i made this at 3 am high as shit btw, i have no idea what im talking about

[mothsareprettycool]

Fun fact: Titanfall 2 runs on the Source engine.

GMod was so important to me when I was in middle school. We moved around a lot so the main way I kept in touch with my friends was playing games like Gmod for hours and hours on end. My brother and I moderated TTT and Deathrun servers too. So much nostalgia there, and so many nights packed with fun :) I hope this generation has an equivalent

[AnonGZ]

It's so sad thinking about all of the great moments from every community that will just be forgotten, the internet is way too chaotic to be documented, in the future we will probably remember it as a separate timeline that just lives in our head, and everything that happens outside will be remembered as real history

I like how in the VPN ad, Leadhead is condoning tax evasion

I wish I was around during the golden age of Gmod. The stories you are talking about make me wish I had those types of experiences. I almost wish I can relive my earlier childhood so I can do more, so I can get those experiences. I wish I was around for the golden age of so many other games. The only golden age I truly experienced was Minecraft and even then I was not even on multiplayer that much.

[MrBump]

That Cheese story brought me back to so many Garry's Mod, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead multiplayer moments that I'll never be able to capture again. Thanks for the memories, Source.

Nothing feels as smooth as the source engine I feel like I have so much control in movement and my actions

how many times have you dreamt about that valve logo guy turning his head around before he actually did in portal 2, and when i first saw it it was in the corner of my eye cause i was looking somewhere else, it scared me so hard
