Anyone else play with Gmod?

I've just gotten into Gmod and it seems like there is some good fun to be had tinkering and building with the various different tools and addon capabilities. I surely can't be the only one on NPF who can waste hours at a time building elaborate killing machines with it. Anybody?

What we used to do was Scrap Heap Challenges while playing the Single Player campaign.

One instance I do remember is the Hovercraft level where we constructed individually our own Hovercraft and see which one was the most successful. For mine I used an upside down desk with wheels attatched to the side and boosters at the back. As long as I didn't go too fast it seemed to work just fine.

Haven't played it in years but I remember it being a lot of fun. We used to get more fun out of our devices breaking and spazzing out more so than actually working. I'm sure it's much more robust now.

I mainly Pose Tf2 or other characters in ridiculous poses
but I haven't had anything memorable in months

I used the Stargate mod and spacemod to dick around for a while, but they took up too much space on my laptop HD and my dekstop is too shitty to run gmod.

Oh, Gmod is a hoot. My friends and I love it. Our greatest inventions included G-manhack, which was a g-man ragdoll covered in AI manhacks and a balloon, so he slowly hovered around the map killing things. We also turned the horse statue into an epic rocket-propelled chariot of doom, made a catapult out of a soda machine, laundry basket and some thrusters, and built a car with a railroad track full of spinning blades mounted on the front to mow down zombies.

It's also fun to put things into the skybox, so you'll have a gigantic uber heavy looming in the sky over City 17 or a happy engineer ragdoll showing up on the computer monitors where Kleiner or Breen make their speeches ingame.

Oh, and using the smiley face stickers on everything automatically makes them better.

I strapped rockets to a rock. The flight path was so erratic that it had me and a friend cracking up.

Same for rockets+strider, which flew through the air like a squid.

Haha! It's also fun strapping the rockets to one of the chairs you can sit in from the Vehicles tab. It's especially fun if you set up a Camera so you can see yourself flying around crazily in the rocket-chair.

Recently I got a scripted Pelican vehicle from Halo and welded several sets of various bombs to it, all set to detach when a different keybind was pressed. I could use it to fly around a map dropping missiles and nukes on other players. Only problem is when it gets shot.
