The sense of relief with the last grub, and when you finally close the door on the gnome is amazing. Now I just need to save every goddamn building from the goddamn striders!

I did it but it never registered at all. Played the game all the way through the closing credits and it still doesn't show up in my profile. This supremely disappoints me.

Now, I don't know if anyone has pointed it out yet, but there's a much easier way to transport the gnome in the "Get to the car"-part: At the beginning you can easily catapult the gnome on the bride, using the gravity gun. After you got the car you can easily grab him, without having to transport it through the whole zombie infested area :) http://www.pentadact.com/index.php/2007-10-15-gnome-quest#comment-52793 Arduin Fri, 10 Apr 2009 17:53:02 +0000 http://www.kfj.f2s.com/index.php/2007-10-15-valve-made-me-play-through-their-entire-fucking-game-holding-a-fucking-gnome#comment-52793 Decided to go for this achievement, but after placing the Gnome in the rocket, and completing the game, no Achievement update... So I ended up on this page and read I needed to close the door on the rocket. Sjeesj, how the hell am I suppose to know? Luckily I had saved my game right at the point were you insert the Gnome in the rocket. So I loaded the savegame, close the door... *pop* Achievement Unlocked! Little Rocket Man! Don't know why this happened, probably because I already completed the game once, but I'm not complaining. Nice screenshot diary from your travels with the Gnome!
