Let me start by saying There could not be a better name for this map, Manor of Mania is i think the second one of ethos maps ive played, then again i think i played the mall one a year or so ago but i forgot, anyways, the map!!, Manor of Mania carries that same goofy chaotic energy that i think most of us enjoy about etho's maps, the amount of silly ass references crammed into this map is insane and yeah, i will repeat what i said in the lethargy pools review, i DONT need to understand them all! in fact i dont want to! because at the core of it all, isnt this literally just TF2s culture as a map?? think of the last time you joined a 2Fort community server the amount of random sprays people plaster onto the occasional wall, the player usernames, the PFPs, many will be a reference of sorts, and you tend to not understand them all, and with Etho's maps that is kinda what i love about them, there is likely something for everyone to point at and go "Hey i get that!" here, there are certian areas in this map that called to me, there are certian areas that will call to others, Like for me i quite liked the aspects of these map with the colourful fish, dont know what it was about them, but ♥♥♥♥ man, they were cool as ♥♥♥♥, especially that one area with the huge spiraling tube just MADE of these swimming colourful fish, paired with the music, it felt weirdly calming and ethereal compared to the chaos of the rest of the map, also the halloween feeling of this map is sick, gotta admit, always loved halloween, always will, to sum it up before i rant any longer, as i tend to do about stuff i enjoy, Manor of Mania is full of slime, just like my computer is after playing it, this is a serious issue, please send help, No to be serious tho, I hope etho keeps making maps like this in the future, they are incredibly unique and i do enjoy exploring them, maybe even my second favourite map series on the workshop!! (first favourite being Voidplaces, if anyone reading this hasnt played those yet, please do, ESPECIALLY voidmall) overall as i said with Lethargy Pools, i wish more TF2 servers ran these maps, i could spend hours goofing around in a TF2 Manor Of Mania or Lethargy Pools server
Ill close off by simply asking, Ethosaur, was that gravestone saying something like "here lies the whats with all the slime girls guy" a sneaky jab at me or not XD, because either way, fair play to you
I look forward to whatever you make next Etho, if you're reading this, that is
