April 2025

I remember the first time I played Garry’s Mod. It was late 2008. I was fifteen, my soul hungry for freedom, my heart still unaware of the weight nostalgia would one day carry. That day, my father gave me a small gift. A Steam card. A simple code, for my old, clunky PC. But it wasn’t just a game. It was the beginning of something. It was Garry’s Mod. I installed it, launched it, and it was as if the real world faded away. I spent every hour of that day lost in endless possibilities. Empty maps, bizarre contraptions, ragdolls flying through the sky — a playground where the only limit was imagination. I wasn’t playing it. I was creating it. And then came so many strange builds. So many weird experiments. Endless hours building cities, breaking physics, laughing at the chaos. I knew every tool, every map, every trick with the physics gun. And without any guide—when tutorials were rare and forums were slow—I figured out every hidden thing, every small glitch to push things further. It was my world. It was home. Every now and then, my father would sit beside me. He’d watch the screen in amusement, trying to understand what kind of “game” this even was. He came from an era of fixed rules and high scores, so to him, this was like seeing imagination itself on the screen. I still remember the one time I handed him the mouse and asked him to spawn a car. He spawned twenty. All at once. And we laughed until the game crashed. He wasn’t made for this world, but he loved seeing me inside it. It was my refuge. It was our small bridge. And now, years later, I go back. The world has changed. I have changed. I’m thirty-one now. And he... he’s no longer here. Yet every time I boot up Garry’s Mod, it feels like opening a window into the past. The graphics are clunky now, the physics engine shows its age, but the heart remains untouched. Every clang of metal, every elastic bounce, every broken object speaks a language only the soul can hear. It’s the voice of youth. It’s the whisper of my father laughing as the entire map collapsed under the weight of too many props. Garry’s Mod isn’t just a game. It’s a time machine. It’s a second chance to touch, even for a moment, what we thought we had lost. And as the flatgrass stretches out beneath an endless blue sky, I remain there. Mouse in hand... And a tear I cannot tell—whether it’s sorrow or gratitude.

Buy Gmod. Mess around with Npcs and props. Find mods. *Holy grail.* Even more fun. Die 5 times to props on breakable home map. *Anger.* Find melon prop. Spend 6 hours messing around with more stuff. Die to my own bomb, Log off. Good sleep. Repeat. Truly a 10/10 game experience absolutely would recommend

Man where do I begin? Garrys mod has impacted my life by so much, either it be RP servers or sandbox shenanigans, those memories were priceless, such a shame most well known rp servers are being lost to time. But in the end, I’ll never forget you.

Garry’s Mod: A Playground for Chaos and Laughter Review: After 700+ hours in Garry’s Mod, I can confidently say it’s not just a game—it’s a recipe for disaster in the best way possible. One moment, you’re carefully building your dream rocket. The next, your friend slaps thrusters on your chair, and suddenly you’re flying across the map, screaming while everything explodes. Here’s what GMod taught me: 1. Physics don’t care about your plans. Build a masterpiece, and it’ll crumble the second you try to move it. 2. Prop Hunt is just hide-and-seek for trolls. Yes, that vending machine is laughing at you. 3. The Workshop is a rabbit hole. You’ll go in for maps and come out with Shrek mods, flying toilets, and 1,000 unnecessary sound effects. Gameplay: GMod is what happens when you give players unlimited freedom and zero rules. Whether you’re blowing up contraptions in Build Mode, lying your way to survival in Trouble in Terrorist Town, or roleplaying as a criminal in DarkRP, it’s pure chaos—and pure fun. Graphics and Sound: The visuals may be simple, but the comedy isn’t. Whether it’s a prop hitting someone in the face or a modded sound effect that sends everyone into hysterics, it’s perfect for creating unforgettable moments. Community: You’ll meet brilliant creators, chaotic pranksters, and everyone in between. Some servers feel like art; others are just people attaching rockets to chairs and screaming. Either way, you’ll laugh until your sides hurt. Pros: [*] Endless creativity and hilarity [*] Game modes for every mood [*] A Workshop full of ridiculous (and amazing) addons Cons: [*] Physics always betray you [*] Some servers are pure anarchy [*] Your friends will use you as their test dummy Final Thoughts: Garry’s Mod is a beautiful mess. It’s chaotic, unpredictable, and absolutely hilarious. Whether you’re the one causing destruction or the one cleaning it up, every moment is unforgettable. Rating: 10/10 – “I died laughing. Literally.”
