Oh, right. I forgot about that one. Yeah, dunno for that one.

I don't recall a box like that being on that elevator. Every single time I ever played Half-Life, I just jumped down into the elevator area and pushed the button. As for this episode, what I liked the most, believe it or not, was Freeman's shouting about there not being keys in the ignition of the military truck. When I was subtitling this episode, I had to listen to this line several times (I have to listen to all the lines several times) to get the wording correct. I could hear both the anger and even a tinge of worry in his voice. It is this tinge of worry that really got me. I loved it. I too was disappointed that he didn't pick up the hivehand (I understand why he didn't), but I think there might be another one later in the game that he could pickup. I believe it's after the Lambda Core where he has to fight an army of agrunts. Maybe he'll realize by then that the hivehand can be used as a weapon

What were you expecting? freeman_s_mind_episode_47_en.srt

Black Mesa, the mod, kind of forced you to pick up the hivehand by placing it right near the button to lower the elevator. Of course, if you hadn't picked it up, then you'd miss the hilariousness. Wonder what Ross's Freeman would say to the animation. Anyway, subtitles are up!

Granted, but now you can't remember anything else, either. I wish I gotten more sleep last night. Less than four hours of sleep will make today very fun.

"Ugh, my head. I feel like all 12 elementary fermions are bouncing around inside my skull, 12-gauge bosons....speaking of 12-gauge, where's my shotgun?" "Rise and shine--" "AAAH! Oh, it's you again." "--not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job--" "Have I been drinking again? It would be just like me." "--all the effort in the world would've gone to waste--" "He's still talking to me. Better pay attention to what he's saying." "--your hour has come again..." Gman just stares at Freeman without speaking... "...what? WHAT?! Oh, hey, do you have my shotgun? I seem to remember--" "The right man in the wrong place can make ALL the difference in the world." "Don't change the subject, asshole! Gimme my shotgun!" "So wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and...smell the ashes." "Ugh, my head....I should NOT have been partying last night. Where am I? Some sort of train... Hey, fool." "I didn't see you get on." "I don't remember GETTING on. Where am I? Hey!" "No matter how many times I've been relocated, I never get used to it." "Uh, yeah. I'm just gonna go over here and not make eye contact. Yeah." "Well, end of the line." "Uh, okay." Gets blinded by a flash from the flying camera "AGH! MY EYES! WHY WOULD YOU....where the hell am I? Am I in Innsbruck? Did I dream graduating and going to work at Black Mesa? This doesn't look like Innsbruck and I--" "Welcome! Welcome to City 17!" "....hey, I know that voice. Oh god, it's him!" (Egad, that went on for longer than I was expecting!)

Most of my "hate" falls under the umbrella of "inconsiderateness". I'll list examples: * Very loud vehicles (if your car is louder than a public bus or tractor trailer, I hate you) * Vehicles with very bright headlights (do you need four piercing blue-tinged lights?) * Groups of people blocking the entire aisle/hall/what-have-you * A single person taking up the entire width of an aisle in a shop by diagonalling the shopping cart so no one can get through, or parking their shopping cart directly next to another cart so no one can get through (similar to above) * In situations where there are crowds of people walking, people that go against the "flow of traffic". I believe that, if the country you live in drives on the right side of the road, you move to the right side of the aisle, hall, sidewalk, stairwell, whatever (and left side if you drive on the left). * Charities asking for donations outside stores * Panhandling (especially in front of stores or even worse, at ATMs) (similar to above) * Door-to-door salespeople/evangelists/etc (similar to above) * Stupidity * Temperatures above 75F/24C The last one is not under the inconsiderate umbrella. I just hate it.

Granted but now everything is all mixed together. I wish I had more energy through the day.

Communism is the idea that there is no private ownership of anything and, therefore, everyone is equal (EVERYONE) which requires the dissolution of the state. This kind of communism cannot possibly work because of human nature.

I'd try to help you identify it but I'm afraid you'll go all Gordon Freeman on me and shout "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!"

I also love the musings that reveal just what kind of person Freeman is. Like from Episode 28: "Hm, I really am bummed they've identified me, though. That means I'm a fugitive now. So, they've probably frozen my bank accounts. I need to get back to Massachusetts. I have about $10,000 in gold buried in Harold Parker State Forest that I put there for exactly this kind of situation. Now, I didn't anticipate I was going to get framed like this. I put it there so in case I got embezzling, I'd have some sort of exit strategy. "Now, granted, $10,000 will only get me so far here. But, if I can make it to India, I can live like a king with that kind of money. The American dollar goes a lot farther there. Maiṁ apanē na'ē bhagavāna hūm̐ . Mērē sāmanē ghuṭanē. I'm going to need a fake ID. I'll check in with Eddie once I get out of here. He can probably hook something up for me. I'm going to need a car, too, but that shouldn't be too difficult. I can just take some motorist hostage with my machine gun and drive to Massachusetts that way. Going to be a long drive." This is a very long quote in comparison to others posted here and probably not the funniest or anything (after all, Freeman is basically just walking through nondescript tunnels at this point), but what I see here is a lot of character building for what Ross is trying to make Freeman into: a self-centered asshole with delusions of grandeur, which runs in stark contrast to the kind of character Half-Life 2 creates for Gordon as "The One Free Man" and looked up to as some sort of messianic figure. I adore that kind of thing.

The most recent movie I saw is "Epic". 7/10 Couldn't stand the slug and snail characters (and they were in it a lot!) and I felt the villains just didn't have a strong enough motivations, but overall, a pretty good flick. The interactions between the main character and the supporting characters was very good and the visuals and sound were just awesome! My favorite scene: Probably a good movie to watch on the small screen, but perhaps not in the theater.

Granted, but now all public places require you to wear pants, which are defined as outside your own preferences. I wish I could come up with something that would be hard for others to corrupt.

For the record, Freeman is a theoretical physicist and badass. I'm not sure he's a singer.

Granted, but now your air conditioner becomes sentient and capable of voluntary movements. It keeps you up when you try to sleep by singing Christmas carols. I wish these blisters on my feet I got from bad shoes would heal quickly.

I love the random musings that Freeman has throughout the series, which usually only serve as humor (which is not a bad thing!). However, in this episode, the random musings about the Xenians after the Manta dropped off the agrunt and the vort served to foreshadow the eventual entry to Xen. I thought that was really smart. Freeman was hypothesizing that dropping the two aliens off from such a height meant that the Xenian borderworld (even if he doesn't know the name yet) necessarily has lower gravity. Also, I loved the musings about base-12 style math. I looked it up while doing the subtitles (had to make sure I spelled "duodecimal" correctly) and my brain hurts trying to understand it. We probably would be farther along technologically if we had 12 fingers. And don't sweat the middle-finger, folks. Another rude gesture would've been invented and then you would be saying what would happen to that gesture if we only had five fingers. A middle-finger extended isn't inherently rude; we just believe it to be so. This episode, while not as high on humor or action, served a larger purpose: foreshadowing Xen. And it helps to prepare for the tripmine warehouse for episode 47 which I believe will have a lot of capacity for humor. Can't wait!

"My body is a roadmap of pain, Google Street View included."

Subtitles for Episode 46 are up! If anyone watched the stream, thanks for watching. As stated previously, this will probably be the last stream I do because I'm due to start schooling at the end of June and I need to prepare and then concentrate on that. I will continue to do the subtitles for Accursed Farms, but it's probable that they won't come out the same day as the videos' release for the foreseeable future. My apologies to Ross in advance for that. I will get to the subtitles for future videos as soon as I possibly can but school comes first. Shouldn't be more than a couple days afterwards.

I think typing subtitles with 12 fingers on a QWERTY keyboard would be fairly difficult... freeman_s_mind_episode_46_en.srt

Freeman's Mind - Episode 46 subtitling Livestreaming is now live! [stream account canceled] With regards to the loss of memory, that's pretty standard to remember some things later but not others. It's entirely possible that Freeman would remember the sniper from the end of On a Rail but not other things. Like the ninjas.

Well, it does give us people like Miss Siberia.

I don't think that Gordon can kill Alyx (though she can be killed). Probably would go something like this: Alyx: Ggrrr...gggrrr... Freeman: AAHH! (Shoots at Alyx; nothing happens) Oh, uh, shit. Sorry. How did I miss you? I shot at you at point blank range. After countless acts of self defense, I'm losing it. Dammit.
