How to Quit Gmod and Go Outside For Once...
By WeHaveTheTechnology
This is a 2nd guide from my first one "How to Click Your Mouse" So here goes:

Have you forgotten what the outside is? Too busy playing Gmod to do anything? Need to quit? This is for you then!

This is a basic walkthrough on how to see daylight once again!

Admitting you have a Problem
The first step to addressing the problem is admitting you have one. If you say something like "I don't have a problem, I can stop whenever I want," then chances are, you're acting like a stereotypical nicotine addicted junkie, and you need help before this progresses into you starting a cult formed around our almighty lord and savior, Gabe Newell.

Now, let's get started.
Adressing Your Problem
The next step in seeing the sun is to knowingly address your problem like so: "I know I spend hours and hours playing Gmod, and never get enough sleep, and I always wake up next to my computer with my arms wrapped around it." But you're probably asking: "Why is that a bad thing?"
You see, there's this little thing called Vitamin D. Of course, you could always drink up on that Sunny D, (also known as Estus to the Dark Souls community) but that only gets you so far, and you end up having to pee in the bottles while you build that underwater rocket, or spam those explosive barrels, because you think it's funny harassing your friends AFTER THEY WORKED SO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HARD ON THAT THING THEY WERE BUILDING AND YOU F***ED IT ALL UP!!! AAAAHHHH! -Repressed memories fade away- But I digress. You see now why it's important for your physical (and mental) health to go outside every once in a while?

(Fun Fact: How can you praise the sun, when you can't see it?)
How do I stop playing?
Now, this can be a little more difficult for some people, however, it's quite simple really, all you need to do is press ESC and Quit.
If you can't bring yourself to do it, have a family member or trusted friend do it for you!
If you still can't bring yourself to it, remember this: one of the first steps to getting a date is to actually walk outside and socialize with people. Don't know how? Maybe we'll make a guide on that, but for now, all you need to do is take that feeling and YANK your power cord right out of the socket!

Once you have quit, you might not want to stop playing, but to make sure you don't start playing again by grabbing a hammer and smashing your graphics card to bits! If you have a potato, it will be easily replaceable; simple go to your nearest Walmart and buy one with money out of your wallet. No, you can't use steam wallet at walmart. In case you've forgotten what a Walmart looks like, here's a visual aid:






In case you've got a fancy-pancy-dancy new Alienware (oooooh) graphics card, or an integrated non-removable graphics card, simply give your computer for a friend to use it at their house for a while, so you're not tempted to try Gmod again. If they won't give it back, you may have to fight them. But don't worry, because after all, in the end there can be only one.
Overcoming the Addiction!
To truly overcome your addiction, simply throw your PC into some water and smash it with a hammer!

Then go enjoy the wonders of outside, mingle, get a social life, get vitamin B, (or D, we're not here to to tell you how to live your life) eat, have fun, LIVE. Living. Living is breathing in the fresh air, the trees, (yes, you can breathe in the trees!) see marvelous squirrels, wild cats, and maybe even bears! (Hang onto your pic-i-nick baskets!)

Arno for the base idea, the basing of our text, (yep, he's our base guy) and basically (hahahaha, yes) the reason this guide was made, after the success of the first guide, How to Click.

Credit to Xemanis for proofreading, (grammatical changes and such) adding pictures, and a bit of humor.

Overall, work was done about 50/50.

Hope you had fun.

Founded solution. When u are stucked on map loading sceen, just press windows button on ur keyboard and go down ur mouse icon then right click to your task bar and open it. Then use arrows to select gmod and click delete. BOOM! Conguratulations! You're solved your problem. Now you can do whatever you want on your desktop!
