Steam - 50% off Garry's Mod


Recommended Posts

I played Garrys Mod at a lan party once. To this day it remains the most fun I've had with a multiplayer game.

Just running around trying to slam shipping containers down on each other while spawning cars as shields was awesome. I dont know why, but it was just a lot of fun.

I'd be all over this, but I already have the game.

I own this game but am interested in getting it for a friend. It says you need CS:S, HL2, or a source mod, so if I have an account with just Half Life 2 on it, nothing else, will it work to install it on that account? Only reason I ask is I've heard some people having problems installing it with just one game on it, whereas I have both games and a few source games on mine so I wouldn't know which it required. Anybody know?

:| Try out the new one, the paid one is so much more different it has achievements and everything on it now, its completely remade since the free ones.

It should be fine, although if people use models from games they don't own, they won't be able to see those models.

Garry's Mod is a great game, sadly I can not buy it today, as I already own it.

Sorry I have another question, this one is more geared towards Steam games in general. Say I already own this game. Can I purchase another one on this account and later on use the Gifting feature to gift it to somebody? I have an extra copy of Half Life 2 on my account so I would just make a new account, send both games to it, and allow my friend to use that account.

Probably not. I would say no on the GMod purchase, but you could just gift it straight to them.

Refer to here and here for more information on the matter.

Oh yeah I didn't even think of that, that makes sense, rofl. Thanks!

Downloaded this, all I can say is it is STUPID. Offline was alright for about 5 min, blowing things up, running around, etc, but it got boring pretty quick.

So I've been trying to entertain myself online, but every populated server is pretty much kids / adults playing make believe. For example I was at this STALKER server, and I shot someone during a gunfight, they got mad because I was supposed to miss on purpose to make it more realistic...At this same server, usually people spend their time pretending to eat (standing on tables) and even crouching on beds to simulate sleeping. :s

Other servers I've played at are jail servers, where you basically walk around and do what the guards say, kinda like what you did when you were five years old on the playground. Most servers seem to be kids arguing over who has ownership over an empty room in the map, and running around doing absolutely nothing.

Maybe I'm missing the fun, but thats what I'm seeing so far.

well garrysmod is supposed to be about improvisation and creativity, but did you see anyone building stuff? like 'sticking' things together with the special gravity gun etc...thats what the mod is famous for, its definitely not about shooting people...

I did buy it, the price was really great. I tried GMod for a while in offline but I couldn't get the hang of it.

I got killed by Combine soldiers within a few seconds and I couldn't defend myself :-)

Seems to me it needs a deeper investigation. But I only heard good things about GMod so I will have to be patient... :-)

Though it's quite difficult to find time for it with TF2 and L4D installed at the same time ;-)
