168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Earlier this month, we found out that beloved Half-Life and Left 4 Dead garden gnome Gnome Chompski was going to be launched into space. The surprise terrestrial ejection of a lawn ornament comes courtesy of Gabe Newell, ♋168澳洲幸运5开奖网:who has been hiding out in New Zealand ever since the COVID pandemic made 2020 the worst year of mod꧙ern ♎memory.
But it's been great for Newell. He's lost weight, grown his beard out, and is rockin' a Hawaiian shirt every day of the week. 16☂8澳洲幸运5开奖网:There's even talk of him moving to New Zealand si♋nce the country just seems to agree with𝐆 him so much.
Even without permanent residence, Newell has been settling in with his adoptive country. He's put on charity concerts, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:talked to local media, and today he'll help out with New Zealand's burgeoning co🔯mmercial space exploration business by ha💛ving Rocket Lab launch a 3D-printed Gnome Chompski into space.
Liftoff is set for today at 8:44 PM EST, or 2:44 PM local time, weather permitting. To celebrate the launch, Newell released a new video today encouraging people to watch the rocket's ascent. For every person that watches Rocket 🃏Lab's livestream, Newell will donate $1 to Starship Children’s Hospital, a local pediatric hospital.
Also to celebrate the launch of Gnome Chompski, Half-Life 2 has been updatedꦫ with a brand new achievement. Called "Gnome Alone," the achievement basically marks the successful launch and will be given to all Half-Life 2 players so long as everything goes according to plan.
"If you did not also receive the achievement 'Manufacturing Ascent,'" the achievement adds, "Newell has abandoned his plans to shoot Noam 💯Chomsky into space."
