Cool stuff you can do in Gmod

Here's the list of cool stuff you can do in Garry's mod, enjoy !

1. Buildin' an awesome zombie fort !
You can use construction props and phys-gun to do this.
Simply create something that will protect you from zombies, download cool weapons and spawn those bloody creatures! ! !

2. Posing Ragdolls
This is one of my favorite things to do. And, sometimes it can be useful outside Garry's mod, for example, I use some of my screenshots for my facebook cover and profile picture that I made myself. You can also use those as a desktop cover, steam avatar etc.

3. Creating levels and courses
I really enjoy doing this. How it's done you ask ? Simply spawn some props and make a park-our course with them. Here's an example
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=140468020
I made this myself and this save doesn't require any addons.
Levels and courses are usually just jumping from prop to prop, but you can make it more fun by rewarding the player with a prize when he completes the course.

4. Addons, addons everywhere...
Have you ever fought a cacodemon from doom with a tf2's scattergun ? I have, and it was freakin' awesome. Addons are common thing in Garry's mod. You download them through workshop.
They are usualy maps, gamemodes, weapons, models, and so on....
"So basically, it's kinda of a big deal ", as said by a wise scout.
But, there's this question: " How the *beep* should I know if that addon is a good addon ?"
Well I made a list of cool addons in my other section, so go and check it out.

5. Play Gamemodes !
Sandbox is the default gamemode, and it can be very fun, but, you can never experience all the fun Gmod is offering without playing gamemodes ! I like to play Parkour, Stranded, Gmtower ( which are by the way awesome ) etc. So go ahead, you have plenty of addons, and the best of all YOU HAVE PLENTY OF THEM.

6. Play with friends !
No, I don't mean just multiplayer, I also mean play with actual friends ( unless you are forever alone guy ), Invite them to your place and show them crazy things Gmod is offering. It's best if they're new to the game, it will make it extra awesome.

7. Still bored ? Try this
Spawn a lot of NPCs and equip a badass weapon, start playing some badass music in your in-game browser, and kill those bastards !

8. Die.... sniff* sniff*
Open the console ( which is Done by pressing "~" button, under ESC button ), type in " bind k kill"
and whenever you press k, you will DIE ! That's right, but i'm not done yet, jump of a building to make it more dramatic :3
