Starting in 2013 I  got the game for $2 or 3 on sale only a year after Garry’s mod 13 was released and didn’t  really know much about it.  But like a lot of people I got into it from the videos watching people like,  kitty0706 ( RIP), Eltorro64Rus and of course the DasBoSchitt’s Idiot box series.

After getting into it more I would stay up for hours on sandbox servers with friends sometimes even going till 4am In the summer, I met a lot of people on servers some amazing and some terrible and was admin for a few servers till they shut down.

But this isn’t about my life story, that’s just what counts for like a good chunk of playtime the others chunk are what make the game So special to me, the rest may take some explaining.

Community creators: the most important element of the game itself. without it Gmod wouldn’t really have much to do. But Because of modders, artists, animators and video creators  we have alot of stupid and impressive stuff to mess around with and there’s always something fresh and new to find  because of the hard work they do.

Game modes: if you really don’t like sandbox all that much there’s still alot to play with the most famous being TTT, DarkRp and prop hunt even though you might have to download shit, figuring out game modes or failing  miserably with friends is one of my favorite things.

Easy on the specs(mostly): before I had an actual computer I had a shitty laptop that couldn’t really run much, so Gmod was one of my go 2s now a days you have to spend hundreds on hardware to play fuckkin anything. but I can play Gmod with friends who’s CPU’s are outdated Af with ease for the most part.

Gmod Art: While I'm not very good at it yet, coming up with scenes and ideas for pictures taught me a bit about how things are more complicated then they seem and you will not always stick to or perfect the idea you had in your head. I’ve uploaded some of my stuff to my dash but a lot I end up not posting. 

Influence: being A modified version of half life 2 it was bound to get some attention but gmod has inspired game makers and content creators alike even to this day you still see it’s influence With Among us being pretty similar to TTT and Tower Unite being started from a Game mode,  Gmod has inspired many skilled creators from all different places and never knowing what new thing will come out of it is what keeps me hooked.

That, My friends is why I have 4K hours in the funniest, dumbest and most inspiring sandbox and Community I've ever been apart of.
