From old-school geek to techno-geek: today's robognome comes from the world of The Sims, that computer game/lifestyle/time-suck that allows players to create simulated people and
torment them in let them engage with a complex environment. Apparently a Sims player named Fernweather (or Fernweather's Sim, Maxi - I'm not really sure) was trying to build a robot dog and instead got a little gnomepunk surprise:
I don't know how can you aim at making a dog and hit creepy robognome, but it sure is boss-looking. I guess the power of gnomepunk pervades even virtual worlds.
You can see Fernweather's Evil Gnome and lots of other non-gnome Sims creations on this Sims community forum.
