I am always talking about Garry's Mod, and how great a game it is. Well, Some may be confused about what Garry's Mod is exactly.
Well, let me show you.
Garry's Mod is a popular sandbox modification for games running the Source engine by VALVe. (It was originally for the game "Half-Life 2") It is a game, but only by the textbook definition. Unlike traditional games, there are no set goals, other then the ones you create yourself. You are given a box of tools and "Props" (Objects that you can place in the world.) and you can use them however you like. If you want to make a base and drive a car into it, you can. If you want to-create a scene where you and a group of rebels have to fight the Combine, (Half-Life 2 scenarios, all of them) you can. If you want to create a robot, and then use it to fight against friend's robot in online multiplayer, you can. The game basically lets you be a god.
The game comes with two maps. GM_Construct and GM_Flatgrass.
GM_Construct has been through many versions, and is currently in it's 9th version (Plus the White room version of the first one.)
The current version of Construct contains a small lake and pier, a garage, a "warehouse" that leads to a room that you can change the colour of, and a pitch black room. There is also two skyscrapers out side of the building area that you can build on.
The first version was Version 3, as the first version of Garry's Mod is Version 3.
In is the most played map of all of the game servers.

GM_Flatgrass is a very simple map. It consists of a concrete platform in the middle of a sea of grass. And that is it. There is no other bells or whistels. Just a flat plane of grass.
But that is what makes it the 2nd played map online. It's large size and simplicity makes it a very fun map. It's clean slate makes anything possible.
