Last night I made a sloppy replica of the land speeder from the beginning of Star Wars Episode IV using a bathtub, some propane tanks, and a few thrusters. I painted it a reddish brown to finish it off and sent the thing blasting off all over the map, running over and killing half of the NPC's that I had spawned. Then, it hit a small lake and I had to do some diving in order to recover it. Apparently, bathtub-propane tank land speeders do not float when they are upside down.
If some of you already have the free 9.0 Gmod, it's worth the ten bucks to get the supported version. There are lots more options to work with and the layout is more intuitive. Online play is just weird. Most of the servers are running their own mod of the game and it takes some time to understand the rules. One server had people placing toy houses down different aisles of a grocery store (WTF?), but there were certain rules that dictated where you could place the houses. I was completely lost. One other server had people doing some role playing in which you could earn money to achieve certain professions. The game is pretty much limitless in the hands of it's users.
There is a way to play a bit of Tron in Gmod, but it involves rusty saw blades and a gravity gun. :shock:
Hit me up here if you have it or plan on getting it. It would be cool to have some competitions and show off the results here in the forums. I figure that between all the guys in LDSO we'd have some pretty crazy results.
