The Garden Gnome, also known as Gnome Chompski, is an object from Half-Life 2: Episode Two. While seeming insignificant at first, it is in fact part of a popular achievement which requires the player to carry the gnome to the final location of the game (White Forest) and place it within a Rocket - hence the achievement name: Little Rocket Man. It can be found in the first area of Chapter One, To The White Forest, next to the door when you leave under a wooden panel with some glass bottles in the communications building.

  • Garden Gnome is a decoration in FarmVille. It can be bought from the Market for , giving you File:XP-icon.png experience.
  • Garden Gnomes are small offensive lumps of pre-animate matter suspended in a gravy matrix topped off with unappealing little red hats. Certain varieties of Gnome are Gnown to man, but one of the most common is Fischus Dillium , found mostly in rockerys and small ponds, which can be identified by their glazed expression and characteristic feeding proboscis which is generally attached to both arms and the groin. In the wild they subsist on a diet of crisp packets and soggy prophylatics, however after a successful breeding programme in Moscow State Zoo in the mid '80s it was discovered that they can survive on a diet of pure cheese. Whilst the above statement is commonly believed to be accurate, recent developments at the Californian Scientific Institute of Too much Money, Too much Time have shown that garden gnomes are far more complex creatures than has previously been reported. In a recent live study of Gnomes in their natural habitat, certain, previously unnoticed, behavioural traits were uncovered. It was found that, when left to their own devices and apparently unsupervised, the Common Garden Gnome (Gnomus Regularus) was found to act as an ambassador for general wildlife relations. Many Gnomes have taken over cities. In Copenhagen for example, more than half the population is now Gnomes. Most of the remaining people are living isolated from the rest of the world in a castle called Christiania. The study uncovered a growing dispute between the local greenfly populus and a gang of unruly caterpillar. It seemed that both groups had taken a liking to a recently sprouted tomato plant, which was causing massive disruption to insect relations in the area. While both the greenflies and caterpillai refused to allow the other sole access to the attractive food source, the situation was about ready to erupt into a cacophony of vegetarian violence. The gnomes, sensing the rise in garden-related tension, sought out leaders from the rival factions, and brokered a peace treaty, which enabled time-sensitive access to the (apparently) highly desirable tomato plant. As echoes of peace reverberated around the vegetable patch, the gnomes were rightly hailed as true champions of justice by all those who dwelled within it's leafy walls. During the study, the Gnomes were also responsible for defining the time at which the early bird could catch the worm; and also the amount of fish that the heron could eat from the pond before he would be classed as a menace to society and dealt an ASBO. The study astounded researchers even more so when they could find no recorded evidence of their week-long study, only nine crates of empty beer and a well used crack bong sitting in their laboratory. Their incessant ramblings and constant poking of the gnomes with requests to 'do stuff' have been met with raised eyebrows and muttering of 'fucking stoner bastards' from the bored scientific community. The Garden Gnome is also an infamous Norwegian drunkard and drug abuser. He can be found in any bar that opens before 12:00 AM. Also, the Garden Gnome is a corporation of hellish Garden Gnomes bent on the destruction of all plastic flamingos. They hate those damn enemy lawn decorations so much that they have formed their own divison of Garden Gnomes to blow them up. These are called KamiGnomiez. They tie themselves to bottlerockets and then shot themselves at the plastic flamingos. Their tactics are not to be confused with Lawn Gnomes.
  • Garden gnomes exist in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. In Livin' Large, they can be made at the KraftMatic Woodworking Table. One of the spells in The Sims: Makin' Magic can temporarily bring a garden gnome to life as a gardening gnome, which will take care of plants. In The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, they can be bought as garden decoration. In The Sims 3, Sims can purchase (through buy mode) or find Sleeping Gnome McMulty. In Nightlife, a guest may attempt to steal a gnome from the lawn, though not when the game camera is focused on them. If the gnome is stolen successfully, any Sim in the household can retrieve it, and it will appear in his/her inventory. In The Sims 2 Castaway and The Sims 2: Pets, there is a gnome called "Shifty Sam the garden gnome". In reference to his name, Shifty Sam will appear in different places on the lot when kicked over and left alone long enough, similar to the Mysterious Gnomes of The Sims 3. In The Sims 3: Pets in Buy Mode there are garden gnomes which can bring animals to a lot. There is a gnome for cats, dogs, and wild animals. pt-br:Gnomo de Jardim
