Introduction
Your player model is what the Source engine draws for other people to see during an online, multiplayer game. Your selected player model also defines the ragdoll you see when you die. You can chose a model type that is in the game Half-Life 2. If you own the game Counter Strike: Source, there are some player models imported from that as well.
Stereotypes
One player model in particular, Dr. Kleiner, is the default player model when you first install Garry's mod. Thus, it is associated with "Noobs", or "Mingebags".
How do I change it?
You can change your player model in the Options tab, in the Q menu. You must then die, (see the console command Kill), at which point you will now be in your new player model.
Notes
If someone has a player model from a game you don't own, their model will have the pink-and-black squares texture.
Also, if you have downloaded a player model, you can't use it on a server unless the host or server has it. If you try to use it, your player model will revert back to Dr. Kleiner.
