Richter Overtime is a YouTuber who primarily uploads video essays and other content related to Valve games and their Source Engine. His videos often dive deep into the history of their development and the community surrounding them. Richter is most famous for his GMod ARG series, in which he discusses and reviews various Garry's Mod horror series such as gunslingerpro2009 and Classic GM Videos.
He also has a second channel called Richter After Hours. This channel is mainly for extra content such as shorter videos and memes that wouldn't make the cut for the main channel.
See also Dacoobers, a channel Richter often makes guest appearances on.
And if you're still desperate for more of his content, he has a Twitter account HERE and a Garry's Mod playermodel HERE.
Richter's videos provide examples of:
- Battle Rapping: In a parody of Epic Rap Battles of History, Richter's made two videos in a series called "Epic Rap Battles of Half-Life", featuring characters from the series rapping against each other. the first video depicts Adrian Shephardnote and Barney Calhounnote (later Gordon Freemannote ) against each other, whilst the second (on After Hours) is a battle between Dr. Breennote and a Snarknote .
- *Bleep*-dammit!: His video on corpse01 has the original photo blurred out despite being able to show the Half-Life 2 texture, which is only partially edited, uncensored.
- Bowling for Ratings: An unusual example. An upload on After Hours called Houndeye Bowling on cs_office (w/ Ratlobber) depicts Richter and his friend Ratlobber bowling Houndeyes at containers by punching them with the Heavy's fists. The Houndeyes get knocked into the containers due to the knockback they receive.
- Call-Back: Some of his videos reference older ones and his appearances on Dacoobers' channel:
- The video Half-Life 2: The airboat is a LIE. has him go into detail about why he believes the vehicles from Half-Life 2 should be referred to as the Mudskipper and the Scout Car instead of the Airboat and the Jeep respectively. This references the Dacoobers video More Weird Gmod Saves w/ Richter Overtime, where Richter first declares this belief.
- The video GMod's Biggest Secrets has Richter explain that gm_flatgrass is a former missile silo used to test governmental weaponry such as the Physgun and Tool Gun, citing the (nonexistent) GMod manual. This references the Dacoobers video Weird Gmod Saves (ft. Richter Overtime), as he says the same thing to Dacoobers as the "lore" of gm_flatgrass.
- Insistent Terminology: Richter refers to the default Half-Life 2 vehicles as the Mudskipper and the Scout Car (what they are officially called), instead of calling them the Airboat and the Jeep (what they are referred to in the GMod spawn menu as, and what most players call them).
- Non-Human Head: Richter's internet persona is an anthropomorphic VHS tape wearing a hoodie and jeans.
