Oh God, If that gnome fell out of the spaceship, and you found it in Ep3, and had to take it with you in order to get another stupid but-must-have achievement… I will be so pissed off.
Send the gnome to the bottom of the sea?
Iv never tried to get the achievement I would just get too frustrated.
i carried it with me for a whole of about ten seconds before saying “fuck it” and throwing it at alyx.
i also hope the helicopter doesn’t crash, just so maybe you people will understand that not all vehicles are piloted by MRs
here’s my theory on the borealis: i don’t think there’s a portal gun in it. it may not even be a teleportation system. the borealis was either being loaded (with the technology) or having maintenance performed. either way they weren’t planning on shipping it off right away, seeing as they went through the trouble of drydocking it. whatever happened caused the tech to become unstable and melt-down, creating the wormhole that ate up the ship/dock.
i don’t think it was a portal gun because the portal gun was supposed to be a small, personal transport system to replace shower curtains, and therefore would also be superfluous for it to be able to harness the energy to make a hole that size, even in melt-down. you know the grand scale that the anti-mass spectrometer had, and that was just for measuring crystal samples. not to mention kleiner’s and especially the combine systems for teleportation.
there’s no reason to think the combine couldn’t backwards engineer the leftovers of their smashed teleport system at nova prospekt. they wouldn’t need to find a brand new teleporter out in the middle of no where that was considered to not even exist, and is probably broken from a total system failure and years of neglect. especially since they know the rebels have one. hell, they may not even know of the borealis’ existence and may have followed mossman to the arctic for the purpose of capturing/forcing her to complete her work on their teleporter.
but whatever is in the ship has to do with quantum physics similar to teleportation, though i doubt it is a teleporter or portal gun. i think it’s a weapon of some sort.
tl;dr: what good is a broken teleporter/portal gun to the rebels if they already have one, and know how to make them? same goes for the combine.
i am disjointed tonight. do not mind that i make no sense.
Its really easy. You can leave it by alyx when getting the extract and you can leave it by alyx and the vort when you get the car off the bridge( you have to be fast to get it under the door before it closes) and you can leave it behind at the advisor house to dodge the helicopter
how do you bring it with you while you’re in the car? it doesn’t fit in the glove compartment: its all full of gloves.
I took it with me when I got the car off the bridge.
First time I tried, I didn’t, and I lost it when you opened the door for Alyx.
Iv seen videos on youtube and people put it in the backseat somewhere.

He’s saying this because there’s a part after the Advisor where you get attacked by a chopper, And it always shoots it out of your hand* if your holding it.
So hide it until you destroy the chopper.
*Gordon Freeman has hands now!?[/size]
~Sampdel, Yeah, some people did that. I put him where the accelerator was, so I could see if he hadn’t fallen out.
but you destroy the chopper in the next map…and you can’t go back.
Well, I can’t remember clearly, but I think you can have a chance to put the gnome into the car, shortly before going on to the next map.
i’m confused…wouldn’t that contradict what he just said? :B
what i mean is:
If you put the gnome in the barn, then drive off to the chopper show-down in the next map, you can’t drive back and get it because A, the car is broken, and B, the path to railroad becomes blocked when you enter the repair-yard.
I read the post by catz. The secret is that the helicopter will not follow you if you go back through the tunnel to the advisor house. Otherwise, if you drive slow enough to keep the gnome in the car, the heli obliterates you. You drop the gnome, go through the tunnel to the base, turn around, get the gnome, go destroy the helicopter.
What does any of this have to do with EP3?
What’s that gotta do with Episode 3.
If you read back, We’re discussing if the Gnome somehow fell out of the spaceship, and in Episode 3, you have to do something stupid with it again.
And then we sorta de-railed to talk about how we transported the gnome in the car.
I would love it and hate it if the gnome comes out of the sky and takes down your chopper. Or maybe a combine chopper.
oh snap :o
I gave up when I got the car, for me it just kept falling through the back of it.
On a side note in Ep3 I’d like to see the hydra brought back .
Idk why, I just do
