Damn, that's some avoidant language for a Parliamentary answer. You'd think showing the 93/13/EEC directive as being breached would be enough. I'll definitely check back for any resubmission of the Australian petition. Really interesting seeing how The Crew being culled has put the subject on everyone's radar now. Good comparison to the expiration of MMORPG subscriptions. No developer seems to consider they're doing the same thing, but worse, leaving it undefined. Also here's a random thing you might like: Peace

I love that, about half the people I meet have that association. And I've met nobody else with the name, plus it's a palindrome.

Yes it does.

Wow man, that's incredible. Don't have much play time these days but I'll keep a copy of it. Thanks!

Just to note that Ross has gone through several iterations of Half-Life 2 before starting the series, including a pre-Steampipe copy, the current retail version and the Half-Life 2: Update mod. While there are some improvements from one thing over another, there's certainly no one size for all, as with most things Source. As far as I know he's still considering other options. Don't know about Cinematic Mod, but we have shared and looked at numerous recent and older community fixes that address random bugs and glitches. So far, both episodes have gone through multiple modded changes in the game specific to their recorded sequence. To say nothing of the adjustments required in post... I guess it's pretty much standard to Freeman's Mind nowadays, but Ross will find the right recourse. Rest assured all the obvious remedies have been figured in.

Haha, guys honestly, what's the joke? We got an episode, what would dictate whether this is "real" or not? Getting more episodes? We know he plans to make S2 eventually, right? So do you mean more now? More "soon"? More before the movie? If that's the specific concern, you gotta find the right words. Cuz I'm just sitting here enjoying an awesome episode at 1080p, and everybody's feeling reserved excitement; just let it out, guys! Case in point, man, what exactly do you want him to say tomorrow? Nah I won't talk shit, that was an interesting reaction and I'm curious. I was definitely quite sleep deprived when it was out but I never have motion sickness problems. Remember that motion blur is applied, and it would naturally look different in HL2 than it does in HL1 just because of the graphic upgrade, but I wonder if tiredness really affected it, if so then good to know. Did you watch in 1080/720p by chance? Haha, good point. Agree on that. Yah, and even then you can learn it in minutes, no camera cut was necessary. The only reason you saw the screen jump was because of the level loading. Though I never noticed the trash on the floor disappearing before, you'd think Valve wouldn't be that clumsy in an opening transition... Wow, people really feel affectionate about the show. Very nice of you to donate, I wonder if Ross just received a boost from the community about now. Umm, it's not? I believe this is the 2007/2010 SteamPipe version. Notice NPCs don't blink? G-Man's eyes are glowing?

I hope so, I kinda had a lot invested in x265. By the way, I wanted to share a comment somebody made as a quote from Freeman's Mind on a recent reddit post:

LOL, Bullseye... Holy Accursed Cow, three announcements in one week, plus new stream and new videos! Plus it's birthday week, assessment forms week, extra training week, moving house week, IT'S ALL TOO MUCH!

I forgot to play.

Dude wow, that is actually really impressive. Out of curiosity, did you ask or email Ross about this pack? I know his emails have been a little delayed lately though.

Aaaand I missed the entire broadcast, like a moron. Strangely enough, if I hadn't declined that BBQ, I probably would've remembered it was on.

But Magda, really, there's nothing to worry about. I don't wish you any discomfort or mean to force you on camera, I'm just poking fun at you so you know I'm being silly, it's no big deal at all. Trust me, I know the pressure of your position. I was just asked a few hours ago by a bunch of guys and gals to go for a BBQ with them tomorrow, I had to decline so many times. I'd be the first person to ever back you up, I do understand. Anyway, 4:00 PM EST is 10:00 AM on Monday for me, that's pretty cool, I got no work then. Hopefully I'll see the whole thing this time.

Yeah thanks for all the effort, guys. I haven't written a letter in years, if only I lived close enough to an EA office. No other mention of Magda's former planned appearance? What happened, did we scare her off? Did she have other duties? Did she just change her mind? Does she hate us? Why you have forsaken us, Magda? When do we get to seeee?

Thanks for the responses, Ross, ThickCrow and Daft. There's also some really good questions here, especially from Dextro. Man, I'm ten times more scared than you are, so I know how you feel. I could barely bring myself to talk in a competitive game not long ago. But you're also completely sweet and harmless, so I don't think you could do anything bad. I'm not trying to pressure you into streaming, you should just do whatever feels right when it's comfortable, but I can also see why you get so many questions about your channel and future videos. I like this one, I wonder if Ross has any favourite voice actors. I also wonder, if he had to star in a major movie role himself, what character or movie he would pick.

So do you think gals tend to be more introspective than guys or is the ratio exactly the same? Are ladies more analytical and logical thinking? Are men less emotionally aware than their sisters? Do girls naturally express it better? Which group tends to be more shy, boys or lasses? Which countries are more matriarch-driven, or have an overproportionally higher populations of women / lads? Do dudes die more often, or do they just kill themselves more often? Have I used every term to describe each gender yet? These are the things I think about.
