I am in absolute disbelief that Content ID didn't give me more trouble with this.

"GM-Towers" is a relatively old Gmod gamemode that was kinda like a MMO. Dozens (sometimes hundreds) of players on a large Hotel-like map could play games and have their own customizable room/apartment.

I can distinctly remember the fact that this level created an entire genre of custom map on basically every platform that had a freeform level editor. Its actually ridiculous how much this accelerate the genre of "Random Events In Elevators" Genre. They were all over Roblox back in the day.

Darwin-mentor that dies in the flashback Isaac-rival that later becomes best friend Barney-badass sidekick Tammy-fanservice character Hamlet-obvious bad guy Baker-comic relief Hjord-evil mastermind hiding in plain sight

If they update this map they need a Stanley Parable section with the narrator. I.e: Narrator: "Stanley stepped into the elevator." Stanley: *just stands there* Narrator: "I said Stanley stepped into the elevator." Stanley: *still standing there* Narrator: *sigh* "I really didn't want to have to resort to extreme methods but you leave me no choice." *violently ragdolls Stanley into the elevator*

Man this is a nostalgia trip, the first piece of GMOD content I ever saw 10 years ago now!

I'm still amazed how that bit with Isaac (or Father Grigori) actually scared you. Like there's very few actually scare rooms the elevator stops off at, and the atmosphere is usually an indication of what type of room it is, with the scenery beyond basically being a tacit encouragement to check it out. Honestly, this just proves that two things I've learned from your videos is that you're curious when you should be cautious and you're cautious when you should be curious. Not sure if it's a good thing being a walking horror archetype, but it does add a uniqueness to your videos.

I love how you looked at Father Grigori like “we’re friends now. We’ve been through thick and thin” and canonically in HL2 in one section he helps you fend off a whole hoard of zombies and calls you his “brother” and stuff. Total badass

My headcannon for Hamlet is that he's just wearing an unusual, and is getting increasingly pissed off as you continue to slander about him. He did not spend 700k to be called "Satan."

23:39 the most accurate Tyrannosaurus asset I've seen so far. The minor detail of the *claws* facing eachother is even included

lol that moment of confusion at the beginning when he doesn’t realize he needs a gamemode to make it work

4:25 Normal person: walks to elevator Librarian: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

I can't believe you've been into gmod for this long but never heard of this map! It's such an absolute classic. The guys who made it also worked on gmod tower and later tower unite.

i can't believe Father Grigor- i mean Isaac shot that ghost without pointing his gun

1:40 "I've spent a fair amount of my life doin- Obamer? 😺"

I love how playing source games gives you the skill to deal with bugs, and you just eventually innately begin to understand map, and mod issues. Not what happens in this video obviously, but he did know to check the workshop. Something you do 500 times with this game.

Wooooow this is a big nostalga trip, pretty sure this is at least a decade or more old. Rather amusingly I was just thinking about a few days back only for you uo visit it, haha

I also highly recommend playing Jazztronauts, another Garry's Mod addon. It's not exactly a singular map, but a gamemode that will allow you explore many more maps in ways you otherwise wouldn't be able to, all while having it's own little story and characters. It's like it's own game. Definitely one of the best addons on the workshop. (Edit: And yes, it has a few spooky elements depending on what ending you try to aim for.)

Strobing lights/pictures at 2:25 can cause seizures in epileptics, just a warning for people who are susceptible to that kind of thing.

Easiest way to form lifelong bond with someone: Fall through an elevator shaft together

Awesome map! It's even better with quiet random players you never met before! Sadly no one plays it in multiplayer anymore, even though the servers are still online after 5+ years :(

A moment of silence for Issac and Darwin, please.

His reaction to father g startled me more than seeing father did lmao

I don't know why, but the affection in your voice when you said "Isaac!" caught me VERY off guard :D

I watched venturiantale play this like 7 years ago lol, memories are sorta flooding back from back then. Watching your content is much more than entertaining.

My favorite part of this game mode is that at the very end it lets you off at what is basically a hangout spot; it’s an absolutely perfect end for an adventure with some friends.

Absolute classic. Almost as if Sark, Nanners, and Nova uploaded their respective videos on this yesterday. Too bad their games were bugged, but this was a throwback regardless.

7:36 Yep and I love them. Honestly, I always like it when a game lets you look down and see your body or legs. Kinda gives more of a sense of you taking up space rather than just being a floating torso with arms.

The apartment/suite that you arrive at in the end, if I remember right, you could interact with the remote and you could play videos on the TV, like those movie theater maps where you can request videos by copy pasting links I believe And I’ve only been on the map a few times years ago, but I think there are some rooms/events that I haven’t seen yet. I don’t remember the room with the robots on conveyor belts.

Holy God in heaven this is a trip to the past. I was OBSESSED with this map as a kid, especially the end room. This really is such a well done map and I wish there was some sort of sequel or large update or something.

Holy crap, I think I've seen a recreation of this on ROBLOX. It was quite literally named The Random Elevator before it was deleted a few years later.

man, the idea of a randomized elevator horror trip with s1 or alone, in vr, as a good looking game....god, what a thought damn, so many ideas pop up in my head. god damn it, why isnt there anything

This reminds me of when Vanossgaming and his friends played this, nostalgia overload.

You should play anemoiapolis. It's not a gmod map but it handles liminal spaces beautifully. But these elevator maps are so charming.

Holy shit, I can't believe Skeletrex's forces extend all the way out to this interdimensional elevator. The Bone Brigade's got some _reach_ huh?

Oh my gosh, I used to play this map all the time with friends, just to see what wacky things would end up happening (and to play in the room at the end of the ride). Such a nostalgia trip seeing familiar events, and it's especially interesting to see it from someone coming at it with fresh eyes.

The origins of Darwin. It all began here.

I remember alot of youtubers would play this back then, this map is really well made for its eerieness and weird floor levels.

man this map really takes me back to the first time i saw gmod!

It just feels like Isaac was just a normal person on the elevator and he was just standing there making sure you were safe and Darwin was evil so he just got rid of Darwin or he couldn’t stop the elevator from going to that floor and Darwin was good it just feels like Isaac was some type of God

I miss playing this map back in the day when servers ran it. Being in this wacky elevator with other players and all of you, from what I remember, actually being able to die was amazing.

If you never played this in its hayday with 20 randos, you really missed out.

I remember the guys at VenturianTale playing this game 9 years ago. Those guys were the best kids entertainment on youtube back in the day. too bad they got exposed for something i dont remember about. thanks for the nostalgia, Lib.

eyyy elevator source. this is a classic and i'm glad you got around to covering it.

Wow, this is a classic, to bad some parts don't work anymore

3:00 PLEASE favorite this Librarian so people can skip to the fun stuff.

oh... i used to absolutely LOVE this map as a kid, i played it almost all the time, especially the ending room, god the memories...

This map has a extreme nostalgic connection to me, I remember watching videos on this map for hours on end. So seeing you play it years later makes me so happy.

A map dear to my childhood, I used to play this over and over again, I love this map. By the way you can actually blend with the blender at the end of the map, you can put in different ingredients to make different drinks, each with different effects.

Elevator Source is nostalgic, I remember watching VenturianTale play it.

Just found your content recently and just.... I don't know why, but your Gmod videos are so nice to listen to. It's not overly loud, it's not annoying, it's just a normally informational, fun and calming time.

Oh I got so excited when I saw this pop up in my notifications. I love this map so much and the genre of content that's subsequently been spawned off it is so much fun to play/watch.

this is a classic, gives me so much nostalgia

What a delightful trip you took us on. Definitely reminded me of my first time on this elevator, because I did the exact same thing you did, making up narratives for the characters and I even think I started to make alliances too! It was great to watch someone else react the same way!

This REALLY makes me want to see you play Jazztronauts, which I believe one of the creators of this map worked on. It'd be a bit of a long haul of a game, since it calls for you to go to other Gmod maps and collect things, but it could be fun... and the NG+ ending is a really good fit for this channel...

Nostalgia OVERLOAD. One of the best of the best to come out of Gmod.

first game mode ive ever played on gmod and my favorite brings me back

This was oddly creepy and oddly beautiful at times! The amount of creativity in each room is astonishing! I would have loved to stop and visit some of the rooms... This is probably my favorite video you’ve done

Woah! Now this is a blast from the past! Never could have expected to see this here but im overjoyed!

I imagine librarian to the other passengers is like a dude with a camera talking to himself about everything that could be funny

STOP MOVING AROUND, damn you're making me nervous! I was like: Yeah, is weird that those NPC's look at you but stop moving around and make them reset the aggro!

remember playing this in 2012/2013. replayed it a lot just to see new stuff, got spooked too and looked forward to the spooky ones to show friends. good times.

Gm tower was a mod made by pixeltail games. It's hard to explain..... You play games, earn money, and buy gear for yourself and furniture for your apartment.... I guess it was sort of a social game. It shut down years ago and became tower unite, which you can find on steam today.

i loved the part where you were looking at a giant board with "Instructions" written on it and going "i have no idea how to play this"

I discovered this addon very early in my gmod career and it was my absolute favorite It holds a special place in my heart, also I know this is 2 years late, not only can you play billiards and slots, you could also make drinks with the blender and random stuff in the cabinets fridge and on counters

what a funny guy i wonder why hasnt got more subscribers

Isaac really made the video that much better

OH GOD THE MEMORIES

Darwin origin story! Also,funny how we met a Hamlet here, theorized to be the devil himself And then, fast forward a year or so, we now have another Hamlet, arguably even more possibly evil as this, who comes in and sticks around, though, unlike this Hamlet, he's taken prisoner involuntarily

The Love Cat part was so funny xD

What would be really interesting would be if various floors had triggers for the NPCs, so the same floor could have a slightly different experience depending on who's in the elevator at the time.

Damn, I completely forgot about this. The first time I saw this was on Uberhaxornova's channel WAY back in the day. This unearthed so many memories.

Holy hell I remember playing this years ago... Very very happy to see you trying it x3 Big memory adventure for me ^~^ lol

At 20:15 Isaac got taken by Thomas, you can hear his theme afterwards XD also that sweet nostalgia from this

Omg this is trippy.. played this map yesterday and was planning to put it in the discord to reccomend to you! Wow

This is the earliest ive ever been to a video. Liked!

This is a little off topic but, I find it very funny how everyone in gmod (including myself) naturally talk with their mouse and keyboard by pacing and accentuating their words with wrist movements. It genuinely looks like your character is talking like a puppet in first person and it's weird how we all do this naturally after playing gmod multiplayer for a few hours.

Man this is an oldie. I remember while I was waiting for this map to download I went out and rented a movie at Video-Ezy :P

I went to a friend's B day party when o was a kid, at one moment me and other kids where in the elevator and for some reason it toom us to the last floor, there was problem with the lights and the whole floor was dark, it still got that weird feeling of something that shouldnt happened, i didnt remmember this until i saw this video Keep the great content and sorry for the english

"GMOD Towers" was basically the primeval version of Tower Unite. Basically a social simulator MMO / arcade.

god i have so much nostalgia for the old yogscast stream of this

And here's Darwin's first appearance!

This map is a classic. It was one of the first playthroughs I ever watched back before stuff like twitch was a thing. There are some details you missed though. The TV actually works and you can actually put stuff into the blender and well…blend it.

god this brings back a nostalgia trip.. i used to spend HOURS playing gmod tower back in the day.. i miss it so much, ik that theres a spiritual successor with tower unite but its.. just not the same ya know?

i love that you referenced the movie "Devil" when the Hamlet got on!

Hi I love the content keep up the good work I've haven't seen meny of ur vids but all I need to see is this vid

Thanks for linking that important video, now I have the boney's sense of humor

There was something so wholesome and adorable about you fixing the technical issues in the beginning

I remember watching Venturian tale play this map.

This is one of my favorite maps in gmod.

You getting scared on the first stop was gold

Natural Selection really didn't like Darwin, it seems.

I just recently played this map, it was an incredibly interesting experience.

Wasn't expecting to hear Sonic CD music in a Librarian vid. Good stuff.

GMT, or Gmod Tower was an old gamemode / map that allowed you to play with tons of other players who owned their own suites in a giant hotel. You could play a handful of different minigames and hang out with people. It was extremely popular. GMT was discontinued forever ago in favor of the developers creating their own game to overcome the limitations of the source engine. That game is Tower Unite, which is on Steam.

probably one of my favorite weird or strange source maps, up there in my top 10 (this doesnt just count gmod maps neither) (also very nostalgic of the old days of gmod)

great job with the video dude .

This brings back memories bro

15:00 - That theme is from "Get Smart" which famously had the worlds longest door opening setup for it's secret entrance.

I get this sense of freeman's mind/ all the other minds series watching your content
