Garry's Mod Gamemodes: 2


In continuation of a previous blog post.


I was browsing Garry's Mod servers today out of complete curiosity (as is the usual case). I was going to connect to a server that some friends were messing around on, but as it was a role play one I decided against it and ended up choosing one randomly. Turns out it was the Fretta test server hosted by Facepunch which was... lucky I guess.

So here we go. Opinions on Fretta.

I played four gamemodes in all of the time I was connected, and considering I was only connected for around forty minutes that's pretty good. I was instantly impressed by the selection of gamemodes, the sleek new UI that's been Incorporated and also just the general creativity displayed throughout the whole thing. It actually felt like Garry's Mod 2.0 if I'm completely honest. Fast, fun and professionally done. The four modes I played were...

Sniper Wars

This was the first I played and If I'm honest I wasn't really impressed. Just a simple sniping game. Not my cup of tea.

Garry Ware

This was excellent. Everyone on the server works as a team, and everyone has to complete five second tasks that are set by an announcer. They range from "Don't stop sprinting" to "Catch five watermelons in a bath!". The winners receive points. The losers receive disrespect. Brilliant stuff.

Poltergeist


This was my favourite by far. It's the same premise as the traditional Zombie Survival modes but with a great twist. One person starts as the poltergeist, and the rest of the server stars as the humans. The poltergeist then takes control of a random prop, and then basically you fling yourself around the room in an attempt to physic kill the humans. If you get hit, you turn into a poltergeist. Absolutely amazing when you're the last human alive and there's just random stuff flying in all directions. Genius.

Fort Wars

Just an average building game. It was all right.

Garry's Mod Gamemodes: 1

I was messing around on Garry's mod and I decided to have a gander at some of the gamemodes online, as seem as though I never do play it online.

Here are the two I played:

Flood

You build a boat from loads of different props, weld it together and then see if it floats when the timer runs out. Then, if it floats, you get a weapon and just go mental on other people's boats until they sink. Surprisingly enough I got absolutely addicted to this for about two hours, then went back on it a while ago for another few hours. Then I just got bored. Good premise, but something the destruction of other people's boats can be a bit... tedious.

Zombie Survival

I don't even need to explain this. Team of Zombies, Team of survivors. The Zombies have to convert all of the humans into Zombies. The last survivor standing winds. Great fun, until it just grates on you like a human sized cheese grater. I find this so irritating I want to scream until my throat bleeds. It's so BORING. May as well play Left 4 Dead, or even better Zombie Panic Source! It's free and just as good! Or Zombie Master for that matter!

No doubt I'll play a few more over the next few days.

Garry's Porn

I love Garry's Mod. Today I stumbled across a thread on a website decdicated to sex poses. It was fantastic. Dr Breen having sex with the pyro. Can you think of anything more erotic?

You can? Oh good. You're a normal person then.
