This game has a very special place in my heart. I was a just a kid when it came out - I thought it was the funniest thing ever, and my parents made me a Steam account so I could play it. I've put a ridiculous amount of hours into it over the years. I remember eagerly awaiting each DLC, and whenever one came out, I would dive into it as soon as I got home from school. This game is very nostalgic for me and always fun to revisit, even though the ragdoll physics don't send me into laughing fits like they did back then.
The year this was created I only remember people really digging this.
It has aged well, as in it's as meaningless as it ever has been.
This started the vast use and abuse of the "simulator" genre into some of the worst attempts to sell buggy messes and some of the most actually good/rather fun things out there.
Still the first thing that craved the path for stuff that looks like constant asset flips to appear everywhere with the excuse of "funny!".
