Full of Maggots - Behind The Scenes + Bonus Audio

You see a familiar face, it looks kinda different tho! 👀
This screenshot of a Heavy was taken on August 29, 2019.
It was made on the same map, on the same spot, just like the Final video!

Here's another angle:

I always wanted to start video like this!

Camera shows the face, loud orchestral music playing, but then camera moves backwards showing the whole picture, music stops immediately, only crickets remain. This is when viewer realize - Heavy is just a head on an armor rack!

And then Heavy says: "HIT ME, I DARE YOU!" to someone like...
...like this dangerous looking Demoman Knight!

What will happen next? I don't know. Maybe he will hit him differently, like call him ugly, and then Heavy will receive "Emotional Hit", but first - I need to show viewer that Heavy is actually Immortal. Or maybe Scout will try to Hit him? It was to difficult to continue. I had a lot of ideas, but none of them were worth making into the video. Like this joke, which actually is kinda funny, maybe I'll use it some day:
You know the trick, it looks like he's about to make a rude gesture, but instead he shows two fingers, to make a "Pootis POW"!

But what if Heavy will remain armless?

That wasn't funny enough, and could lead me to a dead end with this scenario.

I even tried this:

I actually wanted to do something like this with the Soldier's head in the Final video idea. Like maybe Heavy will throw him far away, and his head will land on the same looking Armor Rack, but somewhere on the Moon or "gm_flatgrass" map!

Non of this ever happened, I left this idea untouched to make my first "Half-Life 1 ASMR" video. And then I was already slowly working at "Ten Thousand Years of Evolution"!

I kept returning to this video idea from time to time, thinking if maybe I will come up with the funniest joke ever, and finally start making this video. Some of you already noticed this Heavy's Face in my "How I Make Gmod Animation | Tutorial 2020" video:

There was also a nest full of "Helmet Eggs" I used only in 2024 for my "Heavy Diapers" video!

One day - author who kept his Custom Cosmetic Item Packs on Steam Workshop - deleted all his addons including the sets I used for the Demoman from the pictures above. This kinda ruined his look in the end, I preferred the previous one more, just without his hair for a "Soft Skull" joke!

In 2025 I realized - there's no way I could come up with the funniest jokes ever before making this video. I just need to start making it and choose jokes on the fly!

So I did it! It took me 2-3 months to complete this whole video! I hope you like the result!

Worth to mention - as I completed Elden Ring before making this video, it's background filled with these things:

I though it looked kinda like Furnace Golems from DLC:

And also like a DAMN BIRD aka Pukeko bird with one leg:

But let's return back to 2019 once again!

The next screenshot was taken even sooner! April 10, 2019!

It's the same map, but instead of Heavy - you can see a tree with pipes on the side.

As I came up with "Sakuraborn" video idea, I had to use the same looking tree on the different map instead:

Same pipes on the side, and toilet paper on the ground!

This is another idea. Screenshot was taken on September 20, 2019!

Same map, same place, different scene. He's just sitting on top of stairs, always visible on the background in Final version of my video.

Sometimes it's difficult to find a perfect place for a video, and this map was way too perfect - so I kept it for a Special video idea, and NEVER USED it for years before 2025! It's kind of sad, that I always keep the "Best ideas" for later for some reasons. I never thought there's a possibility I'll never actually release some of them. TF2 is not immortal! I'm just glad this Armor Rack Heavy idea was finally released!

BONUS:

I always wanted to show you some of my videos without Music, or just a Music without sound. Since Patreon still disallow people to upload Videos directly to the posts, I decided to upload only ".mp3" audio files as attachments! You can download the attached files to "Listen" to my videos, or you can turn audio and a video at the same time to watch it. I know it's maybe difficult, but it saved me a lot of time to make this post 😅

Here is how the Music from "Full of Maggots" looks like in my Sony Vegas file:

It contains a lot of layers, because I use pieces from different music for a Cymbal, Gong, Drum Rolls and Different Noises allowing me to combine music from different games together!

That's all for now! Thank you all for you support!
