What I am Currently Playing

For the most of the time, I am currently playing on a game (not DoTA 2)
So this game is called Garry's Mod
Unlike other games, it is not about competitive gameplay, and it doesn't even have goals or story!
So what's the meaning of this? A game that doesn't have goals? So what happen's next? You decide it.
The creator, Garry Newman, create this game as a sandbox game. This game let's us decide what we are going to do. You can go building stuffs up:
Or you can just create a scenery just like this:


It's a fun game. There is no limit. You can port models from other games to this game!
So if you are asking what I do during weekends, I probably play this game.

  1. Wow! I don't usually play games like you do, but I think the game in your post is fun. Thank you for recommending this game. It is great to know other games which can increase our creativity. I like educational games which help me to learn more. Educational games are good for learning. Besides this game, what kind of games do you like to play?

    1. Other games? I probably play DoTA 2 like the other guys, but I'm not very often to play the game itself. I also play games like Minecraft and Don't Starve. Those games teach us about survival (even Don't Starve doesn't give us the tutorial to survive!) which is like..... "simulating" game? :D
      I also play shooter games like Counter Strike (but now rarely!)
      And you're welcome! I never expected to got a comment! :D

  2. Hi Abi! I played Garry's Mod for around one year but still I didn't know that the game really has a great potential of making a nice scene. Any mods or stuff I can add to my GMod that you would recommend? Thanks :)

    1. Addons? I would recommend you Player Appearance Customizer
      (found at workshop) so you can personalize your player model (so you're unique and others could identify you). For posing, I think Lens Flare or such will help you pose in outdoor scene. Headhacks model (such as crysis soldier with citizen head) are pretty much a good for posing.

    1. My, thank you for the opinion! And yeah, making scenes and posing are pretty fun! Since it's a FPS game, its still have the FPS elements (like... deathmatch?) so it's like a multi-purpose game.

  4. Hi Abi. I like your post. What I know about Garry's Mod is that the cost is $9.99 on Steam. Actually in the past, I wanted to try this game myself. However, seeing that in Indonesia, Steam Wallets, which is a currency that is used in Steam to buy stuff is rarely found, how did you get this game? Can you help me to buy this game?

    1. I actually got this game thanks to my older brother (Australia, mate!). The cost is $10, yes. But as you know, Steam sales (like the Summer sale) will make a very big discounts like +70%. My big bro buy this only about $2.5, which is quite cheap to buy (but it's big when you round it to Rupiah, around +25.000). There is a "how to" in the internet, like this:
