Ah, my first post. Anyway, I own Garry's Mod (or gmod) and I usually Rp or play zombie survival and sometimes build. But what I want to know is, what am I, and other people, missing out on. What's you're favorite gamemode, contraption or random thing about gmod?
Welcome to The Escapist! :)

Finally a newcomer with good grammar too. You'll get on well here good sir.

I'm still yet to buy GMOD, is it worthwhile?
Yes.

The most fun thing to do in Garry's mod is turning off the AI, creating some AI with guns, surround them with explosive barrels, then create hordes of Zombies, and then turn the AI back on.

Jesus, how many times can you say AI in one sentance?

Just spawn a bunch of NPCs, turn gravity off, and go crazy with your revolver.

What's that?
HL2 mod, 5$ on steam. You're given a selection of tools and weapons to just mess around. You can build contraptions by welding things together, setting them to do several other things. It's hard to explain, just watch some videos. Content is also plentiful, and it exports any content you have from other source games automatically. Hl2 is required to play though.

Rp mod is always very fun but i normally end up making a battleship and killing everyone then getting kicked for deathmatching =/ plus the fact that the police cant reach it up in the air XD

I like throwing stuff around and playing with the ragdolls. It might be childish but fun as hell.

Welcome to The Escapist by the way.

A game that you really need to know about. It comes in the Orange Box and (I think) with all of the other game packs on Steam. You need a Source Engine game to play it, and you can basically have fun with any of the elements from Source Engine games that you own: TF2, Portal, HL, etc. It's like GTA stripped down but with the ability to manipulate everything. A combo of GTA and Sim City/Sims, if that makes sense.

Actually, since I don't have GM, I... don't really have any business being in this thread... but I kinda plan on getting Garry's Mod...

*Backs out of the thread slowly*

Nukes I love... Here's an old vid I did:

Damn I want to load that up again... But when I play Gary's Mod several hours can pass without me noticing.
That is just a bucket of Awesome.

I have GMod 9 AND GMod 10. Never before have I seen anything along the lines of that. How do you do that? I want to know how you did that. Tell me. Nao.

And I see your bucket of Awesome, and raise you a fishtank of Awesome [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8Oes7Ze-Rg]. ...but it is not my fishtank.

You can download Garry's Mod 9 (The FREE version, which is technically Abandonware now) from http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/HalfLife_2_Garrys_Mod;50929. You need the original Half-Life 2 to operate it.
You also need the Steam Client. Register and download at www.steampowered.com

place hundreds of birds in one spot, then shot that spot with any gun... watching birds fly in all directions in super-lag slow motion is infinitely entertaining.

Back when GMod was free (i'm refusing to pay and so haven't played it for years) i always enjoyed just making huge explosions near lots of zombies. I considered it a failure if the game didn't crash

No. You buy it separately. Orange Box has only Half Life 2 + Episode One and Two, TF2 and Portal.
*Re-enters thread*

Well maybe it doesn't automatically come with the physical OB, but I do know that if you download the set from Steam then you get Garry's Mod as well. Check the OB product description on Steam. I'd provide a link but I don't know how...

Building a deathmaze. Traps, riddles and zombies. Oh so much fun.

Give it a go again, its ridiculously cheap, and makes the free version look crap.

Nope, sorry. Only games named on the list.

Really? Weird, cause I have a friend who got the OB from Steam (I actually was there at the time he was downloading it, the damn thing took forever) and got GM too. Maybe he already had it, but that doesn't make much sense since he didn't own any Source games before the OB.

Have you gotten any packs from Steam or are you just going by the product descriptions?

I purchased (from Packs) only Orange Box, but that was after I bought TF2 and then Garry's Mod.

I find it very UNlikely that they gave a $10/10EUR game for free. Maybe he got the 9.0 version? That one is for free.

Killing Breen.

My friends and I affectionately refer to him as "Dickmunch" and always set up hilarious ways for him to die :D

Try it sometime. It's a great stress reliever.

I dunno, what does the interface and all look like in 9.0? How is it different from the current version?
