Resistance: Fall of Man easter egg goodness!
I'm here to enforce the Travelocity guaranteeeeeeeee! While our good reader (and frequent commenter), Microdot, was playing his copy of Resistance, he came across what appears to be an easter egg of sort. Not to mention a time paradox. Now, behold! Enter the new Chimera breed -- the evil super-secret final boss (not really), the Travelocity Lawn Gnome. Sure, it may be a regular ol' lawn gnome (that's what the Travelocity guy is, until he scored that gig), but it'd still feel great to unload some kind of explosive at that thing. About that time paradox... that may not be entirely true. Upon further research in my personal alchemy laboratory, researching ancient demonology texts and creating my own chimera demons, I have discovered that lawn gnomes are like elves -- they live a long, long time. They're just... fugly, so they were kicked out of the mainstay fantasy realm. With that in mind, finding the same Travelocity gnome presents not a time paradox, but a glimpse into his past, before his current job. My logic is not unflawless, argue if you will.
[thanks, Microdot!]

hahahahaha
no problem. i laughed my ass of at that for the better part of the day. it stuck out as an easter egg due to its placement... waaaaaay back tucked into a corner in one of the maps.
by the way: finished resistance in campaign mode.... SPECTACULAR game. online is even more impressive. definitely a must have if you scored a ps3.

I also love the game. I haven't tried it online yet though. I am about done and am trying to figure out the skill points.

Now I gotta look for gnomes! Seriously though, Resistence is awesome so far. Playing the campaign co-op and singleplayer at the same time, and I'm having a blast.
Tons of 'holy shit!' moments combined with some of the biggest, most intense fire fights I've seen in a shooter. Definitely a most own if you got a PS3.

Let us not forget, that an earlier use of the travelling gnome turning up in weird places was used in the famous french movie Amelié. Travelocity stole the gnome from it.

I have found another gardem gnome! It is on the level "Hunted Down" Conversion center. There is a video on the net showing how to escape the games edges or boundries - I started a little exploring and there he was, standing on a small peak over looking the water.
Up the hill-find a way to get far left, the gnome sits on a rock to the left of the last beach house.

Edit - when you go up the hill, you want to go right, not left
