Is Garry's mod worth the $10?

[Sirrus]

I just bought portal and love it. I just realized, though, that I have a source game now and can now run Garry's Mod.

I'm mega pumped- Should I get Garry's Mod?

What is it like?

[yuki]

Hell yes.
It's very cool, worth $50, for $10. Get it.

[Sirrus]

I know it's a physics sandbox, but what do you specifically do in it and how do I run it?

[yuki]

You click on it to run it.

You do basically anything, the programming is very versatile, and there are a lot of gamemodes. Just search youtube for videos.

It's obviously a mod for Source games, like Half-life 2.
What you can do in it, is spawn all the props and characters from the source games you have.
Like Counter Strike Source, Day of Defeat Source, Half-Life 2, Half Life Episode 1 and 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, etc.
You can only really spawn characters with AI, if they're from HL2. The other characters are rag dolls you can throw around, change facial expressions, fingers, and pose them.
You have a number of tools, in which you can place balloons, change a physical property, weld 2 objects together, rop objects together, thrusters you control by the keypad, change an objects color, texture, or the trail they leave behind, make cameras, hover balls, turrets, ignite things, nail things, place wheels, and it goes on and on.
You can also download mods for Gmod that allow you to have more tools, or props. Maybe even more NPCs, or vehicles. You can even change your player's model to a variety of HL2 characters, and CS:S characters.

But yes, Gmod is definitely worth the money.

Even if I only have Portal?

[Azerath]

Yes, I am pretty sure. If you have a source game. You could look it up.

[Sirrus]

Yes, I am pretty sure. If you have a source game. You could look it up.

Yeah, portal is source, but you said you can only spawn props from the source game that you have.

Is there enough downloadable and built in content to make it worth my money?

[Azerath]

No no no, you'll have the Half Life 2 props anyways.

Also, you can build ANYTHING.
If you were to get mods then you would be able to build forever.
Plus, $10 is cheap.

That should answer it.

That should answer it.

So basically what Garry's mod does it allows you to take components of every source game out there and make them interact with each other any way you see fit?

[Azerath]

You can basically do anything with the source games, yes.

[Sirrus]

You can basically do anything with the source games, yes.

Sounds great.

I bought it and it's download, thanks for your guys' help.

[Azerath]

Hopefully it works out for you.

[Sirrus]

Hopefully it works out for you.

Okay.

What's your steam name?
