A surprisingly cute little robot with a shovel. I???m not sure what to think of this ???it???s so unlike everything else in the advent calendar. Maybe he???s been using the shovel to bludgeon the meatbags to death. I just can???t be angry at him, though. So…

[dev] Jick: Whoah. The LEGO Advent calendar has Gordon Freeman in it today.[dev] Riff: Gordon Freeman, or James Lipton?[dev] Riff: Come to think of it, I???ve never seen them in the same room together.[dev] lycrashampoo: I wonder what Gordon Freeman…

Day 9: Surprise, another particle cannon-type thing. This one seems to be wide-angle, possibly for crowd-control situations like mass uprisings or food riots. Or crab-monster infestations.

A rogue cop with some sort of particle-blaster cannon. You can???t tell from the blurry pic, but this dude is seriously scowling. He???s ready to fuck some shit up, and Internal Affairs be damned. ???You???re a loose particle cannon, Kowalski! Turn in you…
