This has been a big week for gmod! Gmod Tower was released! It is one of the biggest things to happen in gmod since the garrysmod10 update, you can follow it here. It is basicly Gaia Online or Habbo Hotel in gmod form in a way. It is a HUGE "tower" consisting of several floors. The lobby, a few restaurants and many stores, a large variety of minigames to play with friends, you can have groups so you can chat with your friends nomatter where they are. The tower is very clean and refined. Every single thing is interactable too! You sit in chairs, eat food, open refrigerators and drawers, change cloths, one great feature about it is that you can completely cusomize your character with new content constantly being released. It is very based on communicating, there are lobbies where you just sit in chairs and talk, eating, throwing confetti and pop corn kernels at eachother, using emoticons, much like gaia, you get a room and buy furniture like the sims or something, tv's pictures, fish aquariums, ect. There is also a radio in your room which you can search a song or play a random one based on your genre and it plays throughout your room. One of the most suprising things, definately a major breakthrough for gmod and 3D fps games in general is the ability to play actual movies and youtube links on your tv, also they play certain videos in the theater, it is pretty much a perfect game mode for partying and communicating. The only downside about it is that even though it hold up to 128 players (It WAS 64 before the sassilation server found out it was possible) the server is ALWAYS full though, like literally if you want to play on it you have to make reservations 15 hours in advance XD There is also another server with 60 players on it but thats less likely to get into. You can get into some servers with the map that are "waiting" servers but they are just normal build and deathmatch anything goes servers. Only the 2 actual gmod towers are the only servers that can use the actual gamemode. WELL what are you waiting for? PLAY IT NAO!!!

yainoright? It's SO HARD to get into though, you have to join like 15 minutes in advance before you can get in. It's rediculous because it's always full

Actually it's 2, 1 holds 60 people and 1 holds 128 and omg it hasn't crashed yet! Amazing! Funny cause the NoxiousNet Flatgrass server crashed from a server timout (Not a user timout) Reason: MaxPlayer Overflow, with 50 people on the server lol, it's cause gmod tower uses some other hosting thing other than valve which lets them have ALOT more stuff, like users making their homes, also they learned how to make radios and tv's work and play actual videos which was the first time a 3D fps used it, I think second life used it but it used a Snip! engine, that is for POOPOOS, the game itself is a POOPOO for POOPOOs, anyway yey! Gaia used it caus its a flash game
