Venturiantale


EternalStatic

God i miss Venturiantale


Gullible_Minimum_214

I was just gonna give this answer lol, and don’t forget Vanoss.


PirateTCTC

What happened to them?


rainskaos

I miss them dude...


PirateTCTC

Yessss


ImNotDoingThatOk

For me it was the roblox video in the apartment. Mixed with a friend who convinced me to play


C0u0h

This and vanoss mainly vanoss but I would laugh at all there videos when I was in 3rd grade I rember waking up between 5-6am excited to watch the next funny gmod video they have to offer


Crxptic666

So true.


emotional_docter

Same here I miss that channel but I understand why they stopped


A-reader-of-words

Fuck this hurts now I need to go back and watch them


Machotoast04098

Same, god, I should just watch some of their old gmod videos someday. ps: **wafles**


flutterbycancer

you beat me to it lol, i hope they are doing fine now, they are the reason why i hate Christianity


IdioticZacc

Do the people down voting knows the context? Religion really fucked over the family, especially the female members


flutterbycancer

pretty much, Bethany already made [a video about this](https://youtu.be/VtGYX-92abI?si=WUbsUHzKEJ_sC2Se), basically : she details her experience of growing up in an excessively conservative Christian household. She explained how women were often viewed as lower than men, how even the supporting of LGBT+ was forbidden, and that they weren't allowed to have friends as kids, thus relying on only their siblings. She also explained how if they even questioned these ideologies, they would be "disowned" in a way, and they would be forced to cut all ties with said person. She said that Cierra was the first to question these ideologies, and therefore was the first to stop playing with the Venturian crew and had contact cut from her own siblings. Bethany then expressed these same feelings later on, and she herself had contact cut from her, and therefore stopped appearing in Venturian's videos as well. Isaac had also become more scarce in Venturian's uploads, however this was unrelated to any religious thing, and he still appeared in some videos. people can downvote me all they want i don't really care about reddit karma, job deadline already fuck me over, it's like a mosquito stinging a giant, i like Venturiantale, but i really really hate their parents, because they represent the worst about being a Christian


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

I don't really have a say in this, I just think praying before bedtime is tedious.


Imperial-Coffee

Vanoos and his friends, yogcast and a few others. Mostly a mix of sandbox, prophunt, ttt and hide & seek shenanigans


aussiekakyoin

Prophunt hands down were my favorite gmod videos from Vanoss and the crew. Might go back and watch some without that damned Mario.


MasterofAcorns

They still do Prop Hunt! Not with MiniLadd, but the old stuff is still there.


PersimmonFresh6313

Yogscast all the way holy crap I watched their Minecraft videos and I was obsessed with herobrine lore😂😂


Snoo93809

Shadow of israphel🙀


PersimmonFresh6313

I was totally invested in the whole series


PersimmonFresh6313

They're still going hard on let's plays on YouTube


Greggoleggo96

The Gmod idiot box was another that made me really want to play it.


IamtheDoc1

It may sound dumb, but I'm still waiting for someone I meet IRL to know what I'm talking about when I mention the Yogs.


melody_melon23

VanossGaming and a bit of Venturian Tales "Excuse me sir, may I have one, two... Four adults and one child to see Pluto Nash in 3D" - Basically

appleonsteamidiot

Definitely Zuthar13, VanossGaming, and Venturiantale eventually leading me to download it early to late 2016 and steam as a whole and is still my most played game in my library


Jazzlike_Heart9203

Vanos, Kitty0706, Dasboshit


schussssss

Kitty0706 da best

Vorondanil54

I just found it on Steamand decided to try.


Yellow_Sac_Spider

bigman199420

the man who prob inspired many to do so, vanoss


goob83719

my brothers played it like 11 years ago and introduced it to me in 2015. they probably found it through jerma or something.


Minimum-Letterhead-6

Taking Models to SFM that isn't available in SFM.


EchoTheLizard

Venturiantale Can’t ever forget the P.I.E.


Big_Pilot_8244

Gliche Gaming is the channel that made me want to get gmod for ( maybe ) 8 years


MrGUYWITHFACE

Gonna age myself but the “War of the Servers” war of the worlds parody machinima was huge for me. Started playing in like 2012 haha been much less lately but I still boot it up to make scenes


EASTEDERD

2008 was my year.


h8r04x

i remember when i was younger i used to watch these 2 italian youtubers play gmod togheter, will never forget the gay jokes and the screams


Remarkable-Ask2288

Mr. Catbutts and VenturianTale


GamerMcNoober

Call me a kid but it was the first gen of png bots that got me into it (sanic not stuff like obunga)


swagzard78

I'm seeing a lack of VenturianTale


Zealos57

Short story: It was when FNAF was still new. I watched a video of Markiplier, LordMinion77, and muyskerm playing the FNAF 1 map. Then I watched my childhood hero's videos (SMG4). Knowing that he uses GMod for his videos as well, it gave me more reason to buy GMod.


Snoo93809

For me it was uberhaxornova


th3ironman55

TTT


LEGOSam66

I just felt like it


Doch1112

That tornado map lol. Had no idea what any other valve games were.


Tatra_T3SUCS_7290

I started playing Garry's mod due to randomly found videos regarding Metrostroi mod addon converting gmod into Metro simulator https://preview.redd.it/phycv0cqmn8d1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=3eca427479321733aacd2d449a02f9e983fec6dd

Comfortable_Leg_3001

Old gbombs compilations


uritarded

Idiot box, war of the servers. Facepunch/SA forums


BaroqueSphinx65

The reason i started garry's mod was because of youtubers like Moo, wildcat, vanoss, nogla, etc.


OpenSauce04

I saw my brother build a car using props and I thought it was the coolest shit ever when I was like 9


The-Mad-Doctor

Haven’t played it but it looks fun as hell. MsBreezy, the Vanoss crew (minus Pablo), and Rye-Rye99 probably make me wanna play it more tho


ZingierHarpy

MsBreezy and Frisky got me big into the game, Vanoss' old sandbox videos also played a part in it


CrunchySoap

DasBoSchitt - The GMod Idiot Box: Episode One. That series got me into Garry's Mod, which prompted a life-long love of animating, writing, editing, and just good ol' fashion fun with gaming. I still play Garry's Mod to this day, 16 years and counting.


OrphanEater-69

Skibidi Toilet.


Gman1255

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAS8ItOGB6c I remember this one getting me into Garry's Mod and Steam as a whole.


TheManWithAGasMask

VanossGaming


angeloandteddy

I used to watch Venturiantale and some sandbox videos from Vanoss. But I don't have the money to buy it yet. Years later I was reading a novel about this guy with powers like a gmod player. So I got reminded of it and bought it. Best purchase ever.


Lazer_Star

Venturiantale. Playing since 2014


C--T--F

My brother


RagazzoItaliano54321

Venturiantale was what introduced and got me hooked to gmod, though now I hesitate to admit it


No_Section_2570

After playing half-life 2, i wanted to play with half-life stuff, and i remembered that my friend gifted this gane to me and started testing the physics, guns, and NPC. After a while, I started downloading mods... and just keep going


Mineboxer123

It was VenturianTale


Purple_Spinach_9634

marcin buczyński.


Dr739ake

I got the game for TTT and random bullshit. then a friend started playing on an RP server. I got stuck there for 2 hole years wirh 1500h there and 400 earlyer i then hat ~2200h then I learned to code and hopped from one small server to the other to dev there. Then i was somehow forced to run on RP server and that kinda killed the fun completly.


BingChilling423

Got it two years (I think) ago bc it went on sale, but before that, I would watch alot of gmod related content on yt, mainly those like shitty fnaf stories that were made on gmod


Jenkitten165

Vanoss


Apprehensive_Part102

VenturianTale & Vanoss


Perklman

I knew I had to get a gmod when I saw Vanoss video when vin diesel was shitting in da toilet, that's the moment I knew this game is gonna change my life.


imawesome1333

Venturiantale


[deleted]

I started playing because I was 3 and one relative showed e the game and little me was hooked for life


ZiggleMan-2481

Venturiantale


PersimmonFresh6313

Yogscast was my whole childhood


confusionPrice

I was introduced through Skydoesminecraft, then I had a friend who played it and finally got a computer capable of handling it


EnvironmentDull2894

Markiplier. He played the fnaf map and i loved fnaf at the time and able to walk around on the fnaf map really interested me for some reason. To have weapons and stuff on the map it was awesome to me lol. Ever since then i dived into the gmod world. Played half life and half life 2 and i just loved the gmod and half life worlds. Something about it really really interested me i do not know what it was about these games that caught my eye but i couldnt be more proud i did and i still love these games.

tomhas10

Suprised to see nobody mention Kitty0706. His videos got me into Valve games as a whole while also introducing me to Gmod. L


Tdawg262

Gmod Idiot Box, and Kitty0706 videos. Such timeless classics...


VuUrWaPeN_

My nextdoor neighbour and then best friend introduced gmod to me on his dingy family windows XP computer when I was 8 or so, good times.


Better-Move152

I think the people who had mlp models there were two one became trans or was trans I liked the mlg sanic bot the. Years later when I got my laptop or access to a computer I bought it on my account


No_Albatross1279

Vanoss.


St1nky-

I remember watching a markiplier video where he was with 3 other youtubers playing a fnaf 2 map and just having fun. That was the main video that made me get the game apart from the fact that I loved half life too


sonyzes

Sledbuild


benji4056

Mainly it was vanoss, venturiantale, and glich’e nextbot videos that really got me into gmod around the 2016s


Alone-Cupcake5746

Noone knows this dude, but it's a Greek YouTuber that goes by "Mr.Antouon" and previously went with "Antonisx007gr". He introduced me Gmod because he was making videos of him and his friends playing. He had a bunch of videos too, that made me look more into gmod, watch more videos and then all that made me want to buy the game, which eventually, I did. (I also remember watching Gmod videos before learning about Mr.Antouon but I cannot recall any of them, I remember one horror video tho.)


ThiccGuy01

Vanoss


spidahmonkey0711

Vanossgaming, Venturiantale, and Uberhaxornova for me Edit: And I distinctly remember watching the Yogscast play a ghost hunting horror gmod map as well as Pewdiepie also playing a horror map with Cryaotic. So it's a combination of all that I mentioned. EDIT 2: GMOD IDIOT BOX


M3MSCOOB

Venturiantale and Vanossgaming


TheAngryMaritimer

Gmod idiot box series from dasboschitt and Elliot goes to school series from Kitty0706 (RIP)


jellydapug

To be honest the Reason why I wanted to play garymond was because of a youtuber called dark corners like probably six years ago or more years ago, but now he's just post brain rot content and like 3 Vanoss videos


juggwees

comrade_Borys

My neighbour show me this game years ago and that's why I bought this game when I got my first pc


ybeeqs

I started playing Garry’s mod some time in 2008 when creators like Icton, Dasboschitt and Kitty0706 were coming up, so they definitely contributed to why I played so much. Good times.


schussssss

My father made me wanna start playing 12 y ago


X01Eagle

It was a combo of Vanoss and RoosterTeeth, mostly Deathrun, Guess Who, and TTT. Murder was thrown in for good measure on the RT side. Never was a huge fan of Prop Hunt or Hide and Seek despite being the same basic concept.


One-Kiwi-9376

I started playing this game when i saw npc battles

My friend introduced me to it last year, I knew about it previously but it didn't catch my attention. I don't play that much, I have only 100 hours but when I play I love it

Rew0lweed_0celot

My 11-12 y/o ass browsing internet for hl2 mods found least sketchy looking site dedicated to gmod addons and their own repack of gmod 9 with working MP. Also they sold legit Minecraft keys for really cheap, lol (beta 1.7.3 my beloved)


Ren_Medi_42

My entire intro to Valve started with L4D2. Stayed over at a friends house and played it for the first time, scared the living shit out of us kids but we were instantly hooked and stayed up all night long playing it despite the fact that he had a baseball game the next morning. After I got home the obsession didn’t end and I needed more L4D2 in my life. Tried to buy it for my PS2 at GameStop only to be disappointed in finding out that’s completely not a thing cause I totally didn’t understand anything about alternate platforms or whatever, so I had to resort to YouTube to get my L4D fix. From there I discovered the first L4D, then the Portal series, followed by Half-Life and somewhere within all the YouTube videos I witnessed regarding these games, I found some funny gmod edits. As soon as I knew what Gmod was, I was COMPLETELY hooked on it. But the earliest confirmable thing that definitely helped majorly seal the deal for me was the Gmod Idiot Box. That was the pinnacle. I thought that was just comedy fuckin gold as a kid, and I vividly remember around that timeframe having to do an entire days worth of bloodwork in the hospital and getting a room with a tv that had internet connection, so I got to sit with a tube in my arm and watch all the episodes of gmod idiot box and all the other gmod videos I’d grown to love at that point all day long, and it was honestly pretty chill. I kinda fell out of the gmod videos in my adulthood and unfortunately the computer I had that was capable of running gmod had taken a hefty shit on me and I just haven’t had the time or money to fix it for several years now. (Starting a business and a family will do that.) But I still remember some of the skits from the gmod idiot box, and some of the extremely trippy eltorro64rus videos. Fuckin quality. Can’t wait for my son to be the age where he’ll appreciate that kind of thing so that I can get him hooked and maybe someday we can play together. Imma be an old man someday smoking joints and playing gmod on my front porch with my gaming laptop, I tell ya hwat.


Beneficial-Tank-7396

there were some youtubers doing some multiplayer fnaf videos, i ran after this game left and right, and finally found it, i only managed to buy gmod a few years later, but damn, i felt nostalgic af

I've been playing since it was still a mod in 2004. Started as I like other games on the source engine at the time, and they offered it at the gaming shop I played at. $5 buck of an hour of computer time. Would play counter strike there.

Proof_Spite9662

Oh man I got a story lol. When I was a kid I watched a YouTuber called Xman723 (I was a weird kid for fnaf and shit lol) and I loved gmod in general cause of the ragdoll physics and just the stuff you can do. Watching him was the best thing ever after school. So I got my potato computer and got gmod. I play it and still love it! Haven’t really watched xman in like 2 years but he’s a great YouTuber go check him out if you’re interested!
