They found him! The Large Hadron Collider is now under the vigilant protection of the world's least communicative hero, Gordon Freeman. You have the folks at Reddit to thank for equipping him with an iconic weapon, originally intended as an ominous gift before the potentially apocalyptic Collider was fired up for the first time. We wish Gordon the best of luck as he trains in the fine art of bludgeoning parasitic creatures to a pulp.
He has until Spring 2009 (view his progress in this photo gallery) -- that's when the Collider is expected to stop being broken.

I really hope the guy understands how awesome it is for him to be standing there with the crowbar and crab, and didn't just walk away confused.

oddly enough, i chose today to try to play episode 2 (my pc is made of epic fail and wont let me play past the beginning where they get attacked after the whole tutorial part) and now i get on here and i find that they found him.
as a side note, someone should make a remote controlled headcrab......just saying, because that would be awesome.

The headcrabbed security guard bears more than a passing resemblance to Barney. Coincidence?

Am I the only one that's worried about the fact that he's messing around with a crowbar instead of making sure a particle collider is working properly? ;-;
