Does anybody here play Garry's Mod?

Welcome to Steam

Get mods for it off of garrysmod.org
Get GMod off of Steam. (You need Counter Strike: Source as a source engine, together it's $25) You can also use Team Fortress 2 for the same cost.
If any of you play GMod, what's your Steam username?

For you that don't:
Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox, where you constrain objects with welds, ropes, hydraulics, etc. You take different objects, weld/constrain them, and you can make almost any contraption. You should get addons such as Wiremod(creates electrical circuits), and PhoeniX(Construction model pack)

And if you want to kill/trap people, try building Cju's simple traps (You can find the videos of them on YouTube)

I play other source games, mainly Team Fortress II, and i was looking at Garry's mod. It seems awesome but I don't know how complex it is to use and i dont really feel like sitting and learning how to do it just to make half-life characters do silly stuff.

Once you look at the tool menu in GMod, it gets easier. And making HL2 characters do silly stuff is actually pretty easy. Just take the physics gun (the default gun) and left click and hold one of the ragdoll's limbs. Then, move it anywhere you like, and right click to freeze it in that position.
In GMod, here are some things I made:
Crane w/ wrecking ball
Suicide booth
Hovercraft
Spaceship
Fusion bomb

It's easier once you get a few more mods (mostly wire, PHX, and Stargate)

it does sound pretty fun though. How do you actually build machines and whatnot? is it just pieced together and then they happen to work?

Well, not really like that. You put different constraints between two objects, such as:
Rope
Pulley
Hydraulic
Motor
Winch
Elastic
Ball socket
Axis
Weld

Then, there's other things, such as thrusters, turrets, balloons, and hover-balls to make the contraptions do whatever you want it too. Don't be surprised if your stuff spazzes out at first - it takes a little work.
I also build a rocket powered flyswatter.

haha the game sounds pretty fun. I might get it sometime in the future.

Oh, and you only need $10 to get GMod if you have TF2.
