September videochat with fans. More annoucnements this time. First, expect the next FM2 and RGD episodes soon, I’m predicting tomorrow for FM2 and Thursday for RGD, but I have been wrong before on my time estimates. Second, I talk about the HL2: Episode 3 story leak. The short version is if a polished enough mod based on that comes along, I don’t see the reason to not continue Freeman’s Mind into that. Finally, I’m getting married next month, so I’m skipping the videochat for October. That also means I’m going to be working double time this month in order to have videos for both this month and the next, since I won’t have as much time in October. Expect as many videos as I can crank out for now and October!

February 7th: Videochat with fans
All above will be live at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast at 6PM UTC.
The next videochat will fans will be live 4PM EST on August 5th at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. You can ask questions you‘d like me to answer here and I‘ll prioritize those with the most votes. I’ll probably talk some about the Episode 3 script leak since a bunch of people emailed me about that. FM2 is currently running late, but both it and another video are getting relatively close to getting done. I‘ve had a shift of plans for September and October I think most people will like.
Regular monthly chat with fans for August. I think it mostly made sense some of the time. My apartment was hot. I’m hoping the website starts to see big changes this month, more coming on the videos either way.
Definitely

Freeman’s Mind! This is showing up about a month later than I intended, but I promise to keep at it either way. Since this is the first episode with any combat, there were actually a number of issues I ran into with the Source engine that eventually got ironed out. I may have a new obstacle in the next episode, it’s too early for me to tell yet. In any event, if anyone has experience with minor modding with the Source engine, you’re welcome to email me just in case future unexpected surprises pop up.
The bad news is due mostly to Armed & Delirious, but partially to Source, I think it’s no longer realistic for my plan to have two Freeman’s Mind this month (and have time to sleep, exercise, etc.). Work has started on Episode 4, but I’m afraid I’m back to a “when it’s done” timetable with the intention of getting at least one a month out. I’m still hoping to have the next one out early August however, but my time estimates are frequent evidence I wouldn’t have a very good career as a fortune teller.
