John's Mind (Half Life 2 Mind Series)

[PeterJHYT]

So, I am trying my hand at a mind series. It is a Half Life 2 series, at least mainly. However, the character is not Freeman, but an original character named John, suspiciously experiencing what is supposed to be Freeman's adventure.

 

I had actually uploaded the first episode a while back...but it was utter crap . So, after some time of fixing it up, I managed to get out a considerably better version. Not as good as I wanted, but still.

 

Anyway, Episode 1

Yeah, expect to get your ass handed to you on a plate next to shit, I'm sure I just had my fair share.

[PeterJHYT]

Heh, I do think the first several minutes was mediocre and boring especially in comparison to other minds, but at least it is better than the crap version . the last 2 minutes or so kind of redeems it, though, I think.

Personally I think it's fucking awesome

Dangit, too many people are doing some sort of half life 2 mind series.

First it was corky064, then cptC00L, and then a million other terrible half life 2 mind series.

One or two was okay, this is just too many.

There are so many other games to do a mind series in. Why half life 2?

[Alyxx Thorne]

I agree. Either do something new or just don't bother. I mean, I would rather play HL2 than watch someone playing it and trying to act funny.

[PeterJHYT]

The style isn't intended to stay like this. I knew from pretty much the start that I couldn't do a comedy-oriented series. I'm gunning for a much more dramatic series. The first episode is, though, kinda stupid.

 

I really DID plan to do other games for mind series. The problem is that my plan was to work on two at once. I can hardly find time get videos of one mind series out on a Valve-Time-Esque schedule, much less two. So I had to focus on one game, and, well, Half-Life 2 won out.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes then, might turn out decent.

Why doesn't anybody do mind series of HL2 mods? Like 1887, or Research and Development, Human Error I dunno just SOMETHING other than HL2. Save those games for Ross if he ever does them.

Yeah, tell me about it.

[PeterJHYT]

Haha, "Anders' Mind" in Human Error was in fact my other plan. Maybe it will see the light of day sooner or later.

Here's episode 2

I am slightly more satisfied with this one, though I still feel it could be better, but this only scratches the surface of what I have in mind for the future. Things should start getting more interesting from here on out, if everything goes according to plan.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I think it's kinda cool that Ross has inspired others to do this style of "acting while playing", including myself. Though I wouldn't exactly call most of these series Machinima since they involve no actual animation, only playing the game and making a voice for an otherwise silent protagonist.

[Chuckthe2nd]

Hey, I do it while playing Skyrim. I think it just makes the game that much more fun; to react to it as if you were in the character's shoes.

[PeterJHYT]

Here's episode 3 . Here, I start making use of cheats, for a little twist at the beginning.
