Luke Plunkett — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 03:30:00 EDT

Valve's Source Engine may be getting long in the tooth, but the fact it's constantly updated means it can still produce some surprisingly realistic results. Like this gallery, comparing images taken inside the game engine to photos taken in real life. More »

You Will Wish That Gnome Chompski: The Game Is Real

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 23:00:00 EDT

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 06:00:00 EST

Minecraft Goes Through the Looking Glass of Garry's Mod

Owen Good — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 17:00:00 EST

A Boy Screams As He Is Locked In An Invisible Prison

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 03:30:00 EST

Garry's Mod Makes Garry Rich

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 00:30:00 EST

Mario Vs. Luigi: Source

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 19:40:29 EDT

The best thing about Garry's Mod is that you can do almost anything, like gory copyright infringement without the legal penaly. Plus it allows you to fulfill your long-running fantasy of finally shutting up that loudmouth sonofabitch Luigi with a Steyr TMP. Alice finds all the good stuff on the internet.

The Ballad Of Black Mesa

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 21:40:46 EST

Part iPod advertising aesthetics, part Stomp, part Garry's Mod showcase, this clip from Mighty Crane Films is a gun-popping, Strider-killing tour de force that everyone and their mother just sent in. Must see YouTube fodder. Thanks to our tipsters (and their moms) for the flood of goodness. Michael McWhertor More »

Respect to the Man in the Ice Cream Van: Garry's Mod Music Video

egauger — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 18:20:31 EDT

The G-Man Can Dance! And Sing!

brownlee — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 16:40:47 EDT

Although I personally wouldn't want to bust in on them in a Men's Room stall at this year's Pax, GayGamer is one of my favorite blogs. They have a really good eye for finding interesting game related things. And in their latest post, they managed to scratch my perpetual itch for goofy dancing G-Man videos, accompanied by zany tunes. Yes, that is Tiny Tim! Florian Eckhardt More »

Garry's Mod Goes Commercial

kotaku.com — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 20:30:00 EDT

Valve is about ready to start selling its first offically recognized full third-party mod, and the recipient of this honor isn't technically a game at all. It's Garry's Mod, a tool best described as a massively powerful Half-Life 2 sandbox where you can make all your dreams come true, from posing figures for screenshots to making rebels and Combine fight. Garry's Mod has been free so far, but when it goes official it will cost ten smackers and/or big ones via Steam. More »

Explosion-Watch: Half-Life 2 Rube Goldberg Device: Reloaded

Michael McWhertor — Sat, 11 Feb 2006 08:47:02 EST

I can only assume the "Reloaded" title means this is a sequel to another Garry's Mod-built contraption, but thankfully this painstakingly crafted successor isn't Matrix-sequel bad. It really has everything a video should: merry-go-rounds igniting flaming barrels, humans used as projectiles, rocket propelled i-beams with attached (you guess it!) exploding barrels. It's like a symphony — but with crabheads getting all blowed up. More »
