Ok before you go all OMG GOT TO HAVE IT
Cost = 9.95$

Holy shit, since my m8 introduced me with this mod few weeks back I found a new love.

Before I post the link I'll tell you more or you'll just skip to the link right away ahhh. Anyways this is basically half life 2 but with a twist. It puts you in a sort of sandbox mode [ Editing mode ] Where you can place anything, mod anything do anything to anything. Online you are placed in a server with others and the general idea is to build stuff and have a good time. Sadly you have 5 year olds who like to kill you by planting error's on you.

Best things I built so far was a machine that would launch babies into car's and the car's would drive off hitting zombies almost like a bowling alley. [ Take screenshots later ] OK it costs 9.95$ but i can tell you it's WAY more worth it than a monkey on SRO. Hell's this game is wicked.

This would be on the level called gm_construct which is a basic level. here we see a player has attached multiple balloons to a npc and well, sat back and laughed.

Here a player has put multiple npc's [ props ] in and or around a sofa. positioned them as they are, and added guns to them / and other features.

Not sure. Think Garrys made it pay to play since quite awhile now.

GMOD > Dystopia :D

@Innovacious, yeah I'm quite annoyed I let a game like this slip past my radar.

Garry got a deal with Valve in which Valve gave Garry special material (models, textures, sounds, etc.) that are not available in the normal sdk package in return for some profit. So the v10 of the mod is not free anymore. v9 is still free but it lacks some new stuff.

It's alright, but not good enof to detract me from all the other good fun out there. There's only so much time in a day.

Oh no I agree. This is purely a game you play when you just don't feel like being serious. Load up G-mod and make a Baby catapult or w/e.

And yeah not enough time in the day >.<

This game is fun even if you dont end up making anything constructive. Just spawn 100 npc kleiners and kill each one in a different way :D
