Spend more cherished hours with him before he burns up while re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. In advance of the launch, you have a terrific excuse to spend some time with Half-Life 2: Episode Two, the game where Gnome Chompski appeared as an achievement. I wrote a quick guide on getting this achievement, with more tips, here.

The charity in this case is the Starship Children’s Hospital, an organization that devotes itself to “providing family-centred care to children and young people throughout New Zealand and the South Pacific.” Newell has pledged $1 in support of the New Zealand charity for every person who views the live stream of the launch, currently expected to take place on or after November 15, 2020.Īs for the garden gnome, Rocket Lab describes it as follows: “Manufactured with support from multi-award-winning design studio Weta Workshop, the unique space component is additively manufactured from titanium and printed in the shape of Half-Life gaming icon Gnome Chompski.” The idea is that launching the gnome allows interested parties to test a 3D printing technique. Not only that, but the mission will benefit charity. The pointy hatted one will hitch a ride on a satellite as part of a current mission for the greater good of mankind, so it’s not like this is a waste of time or resources.
That’s where he will soon send a garden gnome, after all.Īs reported on Polygon, Newell is teaming with a company called Rocket Lab to send a titanium garden gnome into orbit.
If you were, you might think of something more dramatic. That’s because you are not Gabe Newell, founder of Valve. It looks like there’ll also be a second one added should be launch prove successful, called Manufacturing Ascent.When you think of garden gnomes, your mind probably flashes to serene settings such as gardens. It’s a recreation of Gnome Chompski, a garden accessory found in Half-Life: Episode 2 (and later Half-Life: Alyx) that you can carry for most of the game and earn a bullshit achievement with if you can have it launched into space on a rocket, which leads us nicely to the real video game news of all this, in that to coincide with the launch Valve also added a new achievement to Half-Life: Episode 2, called Gnome Alone. While there, he’s been working, but also doing other stuff, the latest of which is teaming up with WETA (the special effects/art guys), Rocket Lab and a local charity to fire…a small garden gnome into space. In case you weren’t already aware, Valve Software boss Gabe Newell has been hunkered down in New Zealand for most of the year after the country closed its borders to help stop the spread of Covid.
