This phrase refers to instances of the sandbox video game, Garry’s Mod, that are made accessible in environments where gaming is typically restricted, such as schools or workplaces. These versions often bypass network filters or content restrictions imposed by administrators.
The appeal of such accessible versions stems from the creative freedom offered by Garry’s Mod, allowing players to build, manipulate objects, and experiment with a wide range of game modes and modifications. In restrictive environments, they offer a means of recreation and social interaction that would otherwise be unavailable. Historically, such access has been achieved through various methods, including proxy servers, VPNs, or modified versions of the game.
