FREEMAN'S MIND: EPISODE 34

[Kyronea]

 

I feel exactly the opposite, to me, the first chapters are the best. Things like the 'Techno hell', the scientist writing the formula for gravitation or the G-Man talking about dinosaurs are priceless

True, they are. But they're all in the second episode. The first--and the third--didn't really have that much humor to them at all. It was only my feeling of "What the hell I'll give this a chance" that I went on to the second episode at all.

 

And I'm glad I did. I think I'd feel pretty stupid right now if I'd written off Freeman's Mind and only later came back to it and found it as it stands now.

So, I've typed up the subtitles for Episode 34 but there's just one part of the episode where I couldn't understand what Freeman was 'saying'.

 

When he's fighting the "ninjas", right before he kills the last one, he says something like:

 

"I trace a white dwarf's orbits, you think I can't find you?"

 

But that doesn't make too much sense to me. I'm thinking it's something scientific but, as I don't know everything about science, I'm not sure what he's saying. What's he saying there?

 

I think he says "I chase white dwarf's orbits, you think I can't find you?"

 

I suppose that he means the stars :/

[Bugthing]

Wow. I watched it a bunch of times and I didn't even notice that line.

 

Edit: I think he says "I chase electron orbits"? It does make a bit more sense than the astronomy thing.

Lol I just saw this in youtube comments and I came here to post it ASAP

This is indeed what he's saying.

It's a reference to the difficulty caused by the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics in figuring out the locations of electrons around atoms by using the 3-dimensional Schroedinger equations and extrapolating for higher numbers of electrons. The best you get is basically a narrowing down of where the electrons can be around the atom.

 

Physics is fun! ^_^

Hello, this is my first post here.

Just to say that I love the series, and this episode was awesome, even if it couldve been a little longer.

[Collective Foal]

Awesome episode. I can't wait for 35. His reaction to the trash compactor is going to be phenomenal I'm wondering what the mystery EP will be... I'm figuring it's something like 10.5 was, but...

[Trar]

this was an excellent episode even if it was on the short side

 

i see the mystery episode has been uploaded to Machinima; it'll give me something to look forward to that's for sure

[Numb.erz94]

i enjoyed it.. i was hoping for a more comical ending.. but i guess getting sucker punched by the marines kinda caught freeman off guard.. also.. how did they even know he was gonna be there..

Well, Freeman learned just the episode before that his suit has tracking devices.

Agreed. I listened to it again and, indeed, that's what he said, and that makes much more sense. THANKS!

[Otto]

Yes, I can confirm that this is what he said, because it was suppose to be more audible.

 

*stares at unsuspecting someone*

You didn't understand him the first time you watched it? Am I the only one who speaks Ross? Maybe I should start doing subtitles... ._.

Hey, Matt the Master makes joke about Freeman's Mind at start of yesterday's IG Daily episode.

God, there's so little to talk about right now.

Black Mesa administration will not hear the end of it.

[danielsangeo]

I wonder if there'll be a reference to the "garbage mashers on the detention level".

 

"Hey, open the pressure maintenance hatch on unit number--where are we?--326827!"

Ha ha haa...that was funny.

Talking about trash compactors...What do you expect? That Freeman will climb up the boxes to safety or will he panic and run frantically, letting the boxes be crushed until the compactor stops? I only played the not-so-pretty graphics Half Life and I remember that even though it still killed you, the walls stopped before closing completely.

 

Since he uses God-mode and noclip, maybe he'll just clim up the walls, ranting about suffocation or boasting about his "super-strong body that is able to stop crusher walls". Anyway he does it(even if he just climbs the boxes), I'm sure it will be awesome.

[Kyronea]

I...doubt that. Knowing Ross's Freeman, he's going to panic and try climbing out the instant he sees what's going on. The guy is too genre-savvy to let himself be crushed. (And remember, he's speculated on crusher walls in the past...way back in like the fifth episode or something, the one that featured the all-important-for-funding box smashing room.)

[HLPrincess]

I think he will surprise us all. I mean he got hit pretty hard, who knows what will be happening in his head when he wakes up....
