I'm curious what brought everyone to Gmod and when did you start playing / how many hours do you have ?

I got the game back in 2010 or 2011. I was a huge fan of the half life games and one day I was at my frinds and he was playing gmod showing me all the stuff you could do. And then prop hunt came out. And I was addicted. I finally landed on a server that was a mix of rp and build/kill. It was kind of a lawless mess it had e2 and nothing was blacklisted. So occasionally some one would make a rad field and kill the whole server. But it was also a small server maybe 20-30 people at max. After a few months me and another regular of that server opened our own server that was like the one we played on after it died. But we added a lot if stuff to the blacklisted items. Mostly people just made killbases. And random e2 vehicles. Finally I started to play some dark rp and that's all I have played ever since. I took a break for several years and just came back to gmod maybe 2 months ago once my wife and I moved from Colorado to Michigan!

About early 07? My friend had it on his computer and let me play, i was so hyped i asked my mom for garrysmod on steam for Christmas. I put in 1000 or so hours from 07-2015 then went on hiatus while in college and working. Im at 1600 now about.

My first time playing on my own was bouncing around servers, i remember distinctly the purple black tiles of not owning CSS. I had no mic, and everything was blasting out of my moms speakers including dark rp voice chat.

Its been a long time since then one thing i remember was the oooh what ya say revolver swep. Golden era of gmod videos too so many good ones.

I remember coming across a bunch of youtube videos about gmod and I watched a bunch of them to the point when I wanted gmod so I looked on steam and it was on sale so luckily I got it for 2 bucks I remember playing a lot of sandbox then I tried a bunch of other gamemodes like prophunt hide&seek etc. this was way back like maybe 2015 I took a long break from it and then got back into it playing darkrp which is my favorite gamemode every time I play it just takes me back to the good old days when I was young and dumb

I got Gmod due to inspiration from a friend and the first thing I did was Dark-rp. The server he showed me, I eventually became a mod and since then I've been staffing on servers since I was 14. I took a break when I was like 18. Now I'm here. Darkrp has gotten me through a lot of bad times and I'm so glad I've been committed to it for most of my gaming career.

Back when Vanossgaming was popular in like 2015 I downloaded gmod interested by their videos and played my first game of prop hunt when I was 8.

In 2014 I bought gmod because it was a big thing and I decided to give it a shot. But to my surprise I am still playing it after all these year, I still enjoy it but nothing beats the back then when everything was much simpler.
