‘Real Gordon Freeman’ Saves CERN from Headcrab Invasion
GENEVA, Switzerland (Wire News Service) - Fears concerning the potential of the Large Hadron Collider to end the Earth — once dismissed as naive — were nearly made manifest earlier this month, when a crowbar-wielding hero was forced to repel an alien invasion brought through a temporal vortex that was accidentally opened by the mammoth doomsday machine.
Okay, that didn’t actually happen. But in the picture above (and the ones below), we can see the next best thing. You may recall that back in September, an anonymous CERN researcher working on the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator gained a small amount of Internet infamy when it was pointed out that he bared a striking resemblance to Half-Life hero Gordon Freeman. Since there was some concern at the time about the potential of the Large Hadron Collider to explode the world, the bloggers at Reddit took the necessary precautions by sending this researcher a few safety tools: a crowbar, a headcrab hat, and a Half-Life strategy guide. Not only did he receive this survival package, but it seems he put it to fantastic use.
As you can see, the folks at CERN took the opportunity to hold a small photo shoot with their newly received goodies, acting out the Half-Life fantasies we all prayed wouldn’t become reality (via Shacknews). You can see a few more photos in the full gallery, and there are even some videos you can download.
