i just bought garry's mod last week and kids here love it. they've been playing--if i remember correctly--all of steam's games since the beginning.

i watch them play, i used to play like a kid years ago, but it's over for me now. the adrenaline is gone, so i watch them play and just code graphics demos for fun, and that's where i get high.
