FREEMAN'S MIND: EPISODE 54

Download 848x480 MKV

Here’s another episode that got delayed more than I wanted, but I’m still making them. This is coming out on Valentine’s Day, but it’s just a coincidence, I didn’t plan it like that. This episode isn’t especially related to Valentine’s Day unless you find ninjas and shotguns romantic. I think this episode came out pretty well, it actually took longer due to bugs with HL: Source’s demo recording, but I was able to eventually work around them.

On another note, I wanted to try and introduce some democracy to what I work on next and see how it goes. I’ve start on episode 55, but after that, I haven’t decided what video I should do next, so you can vote on it below:

In reality, it’s more of a competition between Freeman’s Mind and Ross’s Game Dungeon, but I just wanted to see how big the divide is. While I haven’t given up on it, I can’t realistically do another animated video at this time since that will delay everything else too much and I need to keep my income going. This goes double since it’s now a CONFIRMED conspiracy that Youtube isn’t counting all views and I guess is just pocketing the money instead. I’ve suspected something like this ever since I saw some statistically improbable things happen in December, but that link above has actual proof in it. I’m sure Google’s stance on this is that it’s just a bug they need to fix. An enormous, and insanely profitable bug. So, while I plan to go with the majority rule, if Youtube siphons off enough views from FM so they’re both equal, I may just do more RGD instead, since I can produce it faster and it’s a little more fun for me to make.

More videos coming!

FREEMAN'S MIND: EPISODE 53

This episode got delayed more than I intended, but if you’ve been watching the series a while, it’s nothing compared to some of the other ones. This episode is also one of the shorter ones in a while, although really, this is ideally where I wanted to aim, but the past few episodes have just been one thing after another, there was less of a good jumping off spot. I know plenty of people would just as soon have me make the next episode 30 minutes long, but it’s definitely easier for me to break it up some more. Part of the reason this episode got delayed is because I’ve been spending a little more time learning possible software for the long-term movie project I still want to do. That’s not anywhere close to being done, but I would go crazy if I wasn’t doing SOMETHING on it, I mostly put that completely on hold for 2013. Finally, the documentary Freeman refers to in this episode is totally real, though I forgot the name of it.

Gorilla Gong Promo Server Nuke!

Well I have mixed messages today. The first is Das Bo Schitt has helped us make a great promo for Gorilla Gong. We were hoping for a quick shout out, but he went above and beyond and created an all out machinima promo, and a quality one at that. Check it out here!

The bad news is the promo worked a little too well as Das Bo Schitt is so popular it’s choking the GG server a bit, and this site also. If you have trouble loading things (here or Gorilla Gong), just hit refresh and it may load properly. Sorry about the screw up, but hey, more videos!

ROSS'S GAME DUNGEON: ZANY GOLF

I was hoping to have more time in between this episode and the last one, but there was some time sensitive information in this one. I thought it would be a fun idea to make a birthday episode, but “fun” ended up turning into spending all day Wednesday and Thursday on this, along with doing an all nighter continuing from last night to work, making this the busiest birthday I’ve ever had. Regardless, I’m pretty happy with how this one came out. It’s actually sort of a dual review; the first half of the video I’m reviewing Zany Golf, the second half I’m reviewing Electronic Arts. Feel free to guess which one I give a better rating.

This game easily has the most haunting music out of all the games I’ve covered so far, I still can’t get the “fans” stage music out of my head. Watch this one if you dare.

ROSS'S GAME DUNGEON: ETERNAM

Well believe it or not, I was hoping to have this video done mid-Sunday instead of right before Christmas. I’m afraid this video isn’t really related to Christmas, it’s just a coincidence with the timing. This episode turned out especially long, but that’s because there was a lot I wanted to cover about this game. This game is damn unique, I haven’t seen anything like it since. While it has enough problems with it that I wouldn’t actually recommend it to anyone, if you’ve ever been disappointed how formulaic many games can get, this is the clear other end of the spectrum and is more memorable for me than the vast majority of other games I’ve played. I knew when I started RGD I’d definitely want to cover this game. The Voyager satellite has a plate with engravings on it to give a representation of humanity to potential alien life. I think if we gave a copy of Eternam to aliens, they would learn everything they need to know about humanity.

Contact

The best way to contact me is via email. I only sometimes see Youtube and forum comments and I only use Twitter for quick announcements.

I'm happy for email from people and will try to answer questions, however I can often get overwhelmed by the volume of email I have and I often neglect it in favor of spending more time making videos. I DO read all email sent to me, but replies can often take a while. Please don't get offended by slow replies, even if it can sometimes take months. It's the only way I can have enough time to keep making more videos. If it's something time-sensitive, it may help to put that in the title. Alternately, if it's been a LONG time and you're waiting on a reply, it's okay to send me another message to remind me.

I probably won't reply to emails that are only reports of news or requests for Ross's Game Dungeon due to limited time. There is about 0.1% chance your email will be considered spam by Gmail and I'll miss it. As flawed as the process is for me, email is still the best way to ensure I'll see what you have to say. Also, be sure to check the FAQ!
