[Reginald]

The 8th version of Garry's Mod is going to be released roughly within the next hour according to the Gmod forums.

www.garry.tv/garrysmod

Look!

 

[Ames]

Well then, let's just see what happens.

Who's up for a quick round of Garry's Mod.

 

[Jimmeh]

Class

Just another distraction that'll stop me from doing my work! :flame:

 

[jmjneary]

the sites down for me right now

 

[Reginald]

The site's down. I think that means it is pretty much having a boot kicked up it's ass on the doorstep. It's almost out! All the fanboys on the forum are getting so excited...it's scary. They will be so annoyed thast the forum is down too... hehe. :bounce:

That's not to say I am not excited too. I am as much fanboy as the rest of one. Today marks the start of my fifth version and sixth month of Gmod.

On the other thread where they were asking how many days do you think it will be until garrysmodv8 is released. I said 11 days. and today is the 11th day. I must be psychic. I'll just have to wait and see what the size of the download will be. I gussed 6.23Mbs

Woot I was just going to look at ratings for my comic I made yesterday when I saw this. Please be version 8

EDIT- In the gmod chatroom (irc.gamesurge.net channel #gmod) it says current version 8. WOOT!!

 

[OmegaX]

Go to the garry's mod website now. It says Prank'd In big red letters.

 

[Jimmeh]

lmao go to the garry's mod page now.

I hope that's not true

EDIT: Damn you Omega!

 

[Reginald]

Go to the garry's mod website now. It says Prank'd In big red letters.

I'm praying to God that it's a joke (the Prank'd I mean, not the release)

 

[CookieCuttah]

Now it says Prank'd
Edit: Someone beat me to it lol

 

[specialmax]

F*****

 

[Autobot]

I didn't think it was possible, but this both sucks AND blows.

 

[Jimmeh]

LOL looks like it is true then. Low blow

 

[OCybrManO]

Hmmm...

But what if the prank was a prank and you all get banned for nothing!

EDIT: Changed from PRANK'D to SOON.

 

[Autobot]

....aaaaand now the site says SOON in bold red letters. Make up your mind Garry!!!!

 

[Jimmeh]

Yay!

 

[OmegaX]

Now it says eight

 

[Reginald]

Now it says eight

I wonder if that's an hour by hour count down, or something to do with the fact that that's the version number being released. I'm praying for the latter.

 

[Jimmeh]

I think it's more along the lines of eight o clock. (GMT) That's an hour and 40 minutes away. I'll be back then

 

[Reginald]

If you are right, I will make you a nice big ragdoll cookie on v8

 

[garry]

Eight!

 

[Fliko]

Still nothing, maybe 8:00pm? GMT?

 

[OCybrManO]

QUICK! GRAB GARRY BEFORE HE ESCAPES!

 

[CookieCuttah]

Well it says eight now

 

[OCybrManO]

Someone posted this IRC log in the forums before they went down once again:

[13:33:00] <@garry> Ok here's what's happening
[13:33:05] <@garry> The beta test has gone well
[13:33:09] <@garry> we found a few bugs
[13:33:11] <@garry> which I've fixed
[13:33:16] <@garry> the next beta has been released
[13:33:24] <@garry> if that comes back clean I'll make an installer and upload it
[13:33:32] <@garry> if not it will be another cycle
[13:33:46] <@garry> so if all goes well it should be out within 2 hours

EDIT: Now the forums just say "Within 2 hours. Stop refreshing the site! - TEAM GARRY"

 

[Reginald]

Quickly everyone, catch the greased up deaf guy!

[Insano]

UserCP -> Edit Avatar -> Custom Avatar -> "Enter Avatar URL" or "Upload an Avatar From Your Computer"

Nobody is ignoring you because you are a noob

 

[Zeus]

New netcode (hl2dm less laggy multiplayer), duplicator, material overlay (makes your screen have the material over it), bloom effects, new menu, make things bounce around, so much.

New avatar click on user cp then edit avatar.
