I have been there. I have actually used that phone booth, in the 1990s. I was in the army, training, and I used it to call home. I have a picture of it somewhere, in an old photo album, lol. For the record, no bullet holes in it back then :)

The Internet actually began as early as the 1960s (yes I was alive then) but it wasn't the Internet as we know it today. In those days it was mainly a research network used by government, military, and academic institutions. The Internet somewhat more.along the lines as we know it today came.about in the early 1980s.

Really doesn't seem like a bad idea for it to stay there. Kinda bs.

Those "Ghosts" at the end in gmod are actual players. It's a complicated process, but the map itself is connected to a private lobby that eventually lets other players go in and wreak havoc in your game. Freaky, yet it is actually a feature of the map.

Just read this comment and I already know which map your talking about

As a general rule "555" numbers are prank numbers. No actual phone uses them. That's why people in shows call them so much because it wont bother any real people.

@williamparis500

2 ай бұрын

The 555 area code was unassigned for use by scriptwriters up until (I think) the early 2000s and only a segment of it is used for informational numbers. So the phone booth couldn't have possibly had this phone number. So either they hid the phone number or (more likely) the phone didn't actually work and it wasn't operational.

@@sabresister - hey thanks for your question. It led me to do some actual research and it turns out the phone booth did work but the phone number actually started with area code 760 in the mid/late 90s. So looks like the actual phone number is either unknown or they hid it (maybe because it's been moved to another line?). So perhaps all the calls are real!

I believe that's the same phone booth i heard about on Art Bell radio. At the time there was supposedly a guy camping at it, answering it. Art talked to him on it

Dude, let me tell you, there's so many Garry's Mod servers that have been abandoned that you may never see again. Here's two that I can think of: Industrial Nightmare - A really surreal, dark, and brutal roleplay server. There's some videos on KZread Begotten 3 - Technically not abandoned, but it's on and off, generally for the weekend but I don't know the full lore. The idea is God removed himself from life and the world went to shit. There's videos of it and if you play on the weekend, you can try it yourself.

With the Mojave phone booth and liminal spaces and relics from the past and the feelings you get and stuff - I've thought a lot about that kind of stuff. Specifically like with malls and stores/buildings/businesses that were once bustling but are basically abandoned now.. I'm 38 so I've been here long enough to notice these sorts of things and it's definitely a weird feeling. I don't even really know how to explain it. The cycles of culture and technology kind of remind me of the cycle of human life - seeing things fade away that I remember being active in my lifetime reminds me of getting older. The "old internet" reminds me of all of this too. I'm just old enough to remember the internet going public and I remember making tons of cheesy websites/pages with my friends with Angelfire - they looked like the Mojave phone booth one basically - except maybe not even _that_ advanced lol.

I drove through the Mojave Desert last month in SoCal. It's riddled with lots of tiny communities, some hidden away in canyons and behind rocks and hills. It's an amazing area. It's especially beautiful in winter, where things are green and the desert flowers bloom. I love exploring there.

I loved this phone booth story. Was listening to it on the bus at like 6:30am.

If the Mojave phone booth's pay phone rang at 2 in the morning and no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Your explanation of Gmod maps was amazing The weight of the expectation of horror that brings us viewers across miles to emotionally connect on the same page, the details left in every turn and step into an almost foreign world tormenting us with the familiarity of our civilization - telling us the reserved horror of the sudden madness pictured perfectly by our civilization; violence, war and the treachery of truth by soothing each event’s effect. All of this carefully collected and distributed in the particular expansion of the nature of the map itself. 👏 Nice one, Sacrow

Man, your videos are such a vibe. Keep up the good work!

Strange you mentioned the movie Phone Booth, I watched it last week after a very long time. It's not related to the Mojave lone phone booth but it's a great movie that encapsulates pre-9/11 NYC.

I’ve been waiting for this next part to come out! These videos are so good.

Thanks for taking time to make content like this

Love learning about this kind of stuff! Keep up the good work ❤

I’m telling you keep doing these exploring abandoned internet or of dead games they are such good videos and good stories!

Someone should make a mod of the mojave phone booth in Fallout New Vegas

3:52 my grandfather used to work in a cinder mine. Not this particular one as far as I know though

There is a one-man band called "Festering Wounds" and this band has a song called "Propaganda". This song has a similar phrase: "Disenfranchised little rats with a stomach full of lies, pulling strings on a country full of lies".

One day someone's gonna put a replica out there. I'm calling it now!

This series is really great

loving this series!!

i live in the mojave desert wish they didnt remove the phone booth sadly they destroyed the booth after removing it their was a headstone their for a little bit but that also got removed

There's so much more good content from UT2004 that is basically gone forever than there ever was for gmod. That's where we got red orchestra, killing floor and rocket league from.

The irony of you saying nobody makes machinima and i just started some bodycam GMOD films, i guess it is a very old niche and hobby, i am very late haha! Love your videos man, you rock

lovely video! very underrated.

24:50 I think that's the Mick Mask from the band Slip Knot that the figure is wearing.

Watching you get killed by a cardboard cutout PNG of Baghool from Sinister, made me crack up. I was expecting the G-Man or Slenderman, not the demon that haunted my dreams for a short while after the first and only time I watched Sinister. Lol

I'm pretty sure that phone booth was in an episode of X-Files in 2000. The one where Scully gets that alien parasite implanted onto her spine.

Was the Mojave phone booth on an episode of Coast to Coast with Art Bell?

No one mentioned that on the website for the Mojave phone booth, there are at least two other updates, one in 2004 and another in 2018 that seems to be advertising thr availability of a book about the phone booth. So maybe not so abandoned?

24:47 lmao

4:30 Xerox photocopies paper and some machines could fax it as well. You would xerox a piece of paper but fax it to another machine

I think that model of the cop car was from Left 4 Dead. I believe it's used for the start of the Death Toll map.

dang that cheap png jumpscare got me for a moment xD

Good stuff.

0:23 the phone booth is just to call 911 if you are dying

I can’t remember the last phone booth i seen

The last stragglers on the phone booths where the drug addicts who would sell the mobiles phones and resort to using a pay phone. In the UK they were BT pay phones. They are actually still here but only a handful in Norwich city are still operating.

We’re just glossing over the completely fabricated phone number to the phone booth? 555 numbers are the same numbers used for movies because they don’t actually work.

27:50 its indeed Russian/Soviet, most likely a Soviet Topol mobile ICBM judging by the size of the carrier truck

Ok. The so called "alien" seen along the road as was described in the second topic was probably not a space alien at.all. It was most likely a skinwalker or possibly a wendigo. Not something you would want to meet up with day or night.

31:00 there's a car moving in the background, not sure if you find that interesting but for a map so static with no moving objects, I partially did.
