What is Garry's Mod?
Garry's Mod (Or Gmod for short) is a sort of sandbox enviroment where users can build contraptions, vehicals, scenes, and even games, plus a whole slew of other things within Half-Life 2's Source Engine. It can even be done in multiplayer.
People have used Garry's Mod to make Webcomics, Rube Goldberg machines, giant robot fortresses and a metric crapload of other stuff.
So what's new?
Having released v9 of his mod, Garry no longer had time to work on it; until Valve approached him and asked him to make a new version to be sold on Steam. They gave Garry access to the source engine and he rebuilt the entire thing from scratch. The new version (Gmod 10) has finally been released. The new version can be purchased standalone for $10 (for those of us who already own one of Valve's source engine games) or for $25 dollars with CS: Source for those who don't.
The list of Source engine games that work with Garry's Mod include
-Half-Life 2
-Half-Life 2: Episode One
-Half-Life 2: Deatmatch
-Counter-Strike: Source
-Day of Defeat: Source

According to Garry:
More info can be found at http://www.garrysmod.comThe new version has been created from scratch so almost everything has been revised and re-invented. It has a bunch of new tools to play with (winches, hydraulics and hoverballs), totally new spawn menu and a few new Post Processing effects to play with. The great thing about Steam is that I can update really regularly, really easily - which is something I plan on doing - so expect more tools/gamemodes/stuff to come.

I love GMod. I never thought a sandbox could be so fun.

What? It says it comes with CS:S and nothing else. No HL:S, no HL2 and no DoD:S.
EDIT: Wait, nevermind, I misunderstood.
I would imagine that it would work with HL:S, but that might be the exception since it's sort of a clunky translation to the source engine, from what I've read.
'course the question is why do you only have Half-Life: Source and not HL2 or another game?
No, I mean it's 9.95 when you own a Source-based game. Does this apply to Half-Life: Source?
Might be zombie onslaught, might not.
Just get in Vent, Game On 7.

As a TL;DR, I was directed to something called Tyrannis, a walking castle, on Youtube.
Holy jesus on a fuckstick where's my ten bucks.
Is about as good as your going to get, I think.
What's it offering that makes it worth $10 more than what I paid for versions 1 through 9?
I'm broke as hell...but I don't think I can resist this.
So yes, you can get it for $10 and use it with HL:Source, but you'll only be able to go to HL: Source maps and use HL: Source props, and that's hardly using it at all. The CS:S deal is kinda iffy as well; CS is nice if you just want to pose ragdolls, but all the real building is done with HL2 props.
It's not worth buying if you don't have HL2, basically.
Just use an older release? They won't disappear off the internet, and are still heaps of fun.
I kind of liked the earlier releases better, mostly due to the insane feature creep gmod has been getting. I like my toys simple and to the point.
Either way, no matter what you run, it's like computer legos. Fun, and capable of soaking up far more time than you have available.
You sure about that? Have you actually tested Gmod with HL:Source? I seem to recall that HL: Source isn't running on the source engine proper; but a sort of "duct-tape and bailing wire" hybrid.

Don't forget, lots of Breen abuse too:

He would build an elaborate fort using the square wooden crates with multiple walls and levels.
And I would build an enormous cannon to try and demolish it entirely with one shot. Imagine a rocket with many of the explosive barrels teathered to it and once the rocket landed the barrels would fly off in random directions while on fire and then explode destroying more of the fort.
Digital legos ftw.

I last obsessively checked for information about GMod10 on Sunday, then promptly forgot about it while being totally obsessed with Eve: Revelations.
Going to buy this right now.
EDIT: Maybe not. Now I have to fucking sit through class while thinking about this. I'm very, very close to skipping entirely.

The handstand dancing is pretty darn funny.
Yea you're right.
I need to stop being a whore.
Now I'm a bout to post an image link, mind you it is NSFW and this was my first G-mod creation ever with one of the most archaic versions that you could hardly do anything with back then. So without further ado..
Click if you dare!
I guess I am happy.
Also for anybody interested there is a rather nice if not vicious story of what I did to somebody that stole it back when I first made it.
Heh, I love that image.
I think we can guess what you did to that poor sap. I have a feeling it rhymes with Boat-sea?
