''Half-Life: Alyx but the Gnome is Too Aware'' [[note]]also referred to as ''Half-Life: Alyx Living Gnome Saga'' in the series' edited [=YouTube=] playlist.[[/note]] is a roleplay {{Machinima}} series by [[WebVideo/WayneRadioTv WayneRadioTV]] and Radio TV Solutions, the same group behind ''WebVideo/HalfLifeButTheAIIsSelfAware'', which has a similar premise. This time around, it's only Wayne (though still joined on occasion by his friend and fellow Radio TV Solutions member Baaulp) doing a playthrough of ''Half-Life: Alyx'' only to be surprised by the Gnome he must carry throughout the game becoming sentient, talking to him and making various outlandish requests as Wayne tries to juggle taking care of the Gnome, his meters as well as himself.

* WhamShot: [[spoiler: Wayne attempts to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere end the stream]] after entering the Vault, but as he takes off the headset it transitions to a first-person live-action sequence of his room...''with the game's HUD still visible in his point of view.'']]


The first Act was streamed on November 12th, 2021 and after a long delay, the finale would be streamed on February 4th, 2023. Like ''HLVRAI'' before it, Wayne has also been working on edited, compiled video versions of the Acts on his [=YouTube=] channel, with the first edited part being released on November 25th 2021.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: The Gnome is an annoying thing that Wayne has to constantly keep in check, but [[spoiler:the Blue Gnome actively ''hurts'' Wayne if he holds it, so he ignores his pleas to go with him and not the red Gnome. Eventually, Wayne starts arguing in genuine favor of the Red Gnome against the Blue Gnome.]]

Eventually, Wayne starts arguing in genuine favor of the Red Gnome against the Blue Gnome. Both Alex Trebek/The Voice and Gabe Newell make it clear that the blue gnome is an aberration, with the former warning Wayne that it still exists and to watch out, and the latter commenting that the Blue Gnome is not supposed to be in the game at all.]]

* ChekovsGun: Gordon figures out in "Jeff" that the Gnome will die if crushed in a trash compactor, but he restarts the game because he still wants to finish the challenge. [[spoiler:He doesn't have such qualms, however, about killing the Blue Gnome in the second trash compactor; the Gnome mentions this at the start of Act 4 Part 2.]]

* StylisticSuck: [[spoiler:The Gnome's livestream at the end of the final act after he escapes into the real world. He's not very good at it, he regularly uses cheats, and the copy of Half-Life 2 he's playing is very, very broken. He doesn't even get through the first chapter before he gives up.]]
