Serva

Allegro con Fuoco. The song that was played when Luffy finished of Crocodile in episode 126 of One Piece. ... >_____> It's a great story.

There you go, now 70. Better to be in between Friday and Saturday. Obviously a Partyday is for partying, and that's best to be away from the evil Sunday before Monday.

Hello, my name is Serva. I was a frequent lurker, but found myself posting more often so now I'm here introducing myself. I'm 23 years old and from Ontario, Canada. On my spare time I'm either playing a video game, or reading a manga chapter. I just finished 5 years of college, and taking a bit of time off to relax before I start working... Actually I probably should have started by now... Maybe in a bit. And no... Serva isn't my real name, it's just a username I picked up while playing World of Warcraft.

Attention, we will eat kittens on a dirty donkey, God ate a ton of cake to love you.

Downtime? It's been 7 days. I think that covers every day of the week. The lowest downtime should have passed by now. Crazy Machinima and their imaginary 8th day. There's no business on that day because it never passes. Someone needs to give them a calendar with a Crazyday in between Friday and Saturday.

I was wandering through an anime porn site and noticed a random link to youtube in a picture parodying Half-Life. The link was to Freeman's Mind episode 1.... It was pretty damn slow start, if I had anything better to do, I probably would have turned it off and never looked back. ... >.> Eh... About that anime porn site, don't misunderstand. It was a booru, they've got loads of normal pictures, not just hentai. I was actually searching for something for a signature pic. I hope I don't get any bad labels from that... Tom Bowen is bloody hilarious. I just wish he'd make more video's. His "How not to play Hitman" video's are awesome. That 60 seconds video was actually what got me playing Half-Life to begin with.

I bet you money that they don't even have a queue. They probably laugh at the thought of it. Machinima is a business in all reality. So they are going to upload what the people want FIRST, because that gets them more views/ subscribes/ etc, which then in turn gets them paid more by advertisers. Unfortunately for us the stuff that MOST people want is COMPLETE CRAP. So when Ross sends them an episode they put it on one of their servers and let it sit there until they feel guilty enough to upload the damned thing. First thing's first, my mother taught me never to gamble, that any bet I make should be when it's 100%. I'm sure as hell not betting when it's 0%. Second thing is second, you've got it all backwards. I just checked the views of all the video's they've posted yesterday (18th of May), the highest viewed video is the IG Daily episode with about 50,000. I remember the day after Freeman's Mind 32 came out, I checked the views to see that it had already passed way over 100,000 views, it wasn't even a full 24 hours. They don't release what the people want first, otherwise FM would have been released days ago. If anything, they hold onto it so people like us constantly refresh the site and give them more page views, making them look even more popular than what they already are. We're all just small fractions of a huge conspiracy.

Double post of Freeman's Mind? I wish. The queue is... (the following is only a sample) CoD, CoD, CoD, Spam Movie, CoD, IG Daily, CoD, Spam Movie, Spam Movie, Trailer, FM 33, Spam Movie, Spam Movie, CoD, Trailer, IG Daily, CoD, Spam Movie, Spam Movie, Spam Movie, CoD, Spam Movie, IG Weekly, Trailer, Trailer, Spam Movie, Trailer, CoD, CoD, Spam Movie, Spam Movie, Spam Movie, etc, etc, 1 week later, CoD, Spam Movie, FM 34. Queue is just a line. Those two aren't getting released together. We'll be waiting on 35 before we see 34 come out.

That won't be done. Ross has a deal with Machinima, they feature his videos, which gets the attention of Machinima's gigantic fan base, as a result they have to post it before Ross puts up the episode in any other format. While most people think he should just ditch Machinima and go solo, I don't imagine that happening any time soon. = \ Besides, even if you did send an e-mail to Ross, he won't be reading it for a long time, considering how he's always posting about his backlog of e-mails he has to reply to.

The way I see it, Ross Scott created a personality for a character that has no personality. He put it to video, and showed it to the world, and the world is loving it. It's human nature for everybody to have an opinion about something, but it's the nature of this incarnation of Freeman that draws us all in. Sure the character can be changed based off the opinions of everybody who has grown tired of the original idea, but it would turn into something different than what we were originally drawn into, that if someone else were to take over the project based off what they like, it wouldn't be the Freeman's Mind that everybody loves so much. That is to say that constructive criticism isn't bad, but I would really hope that Ross Scott does what he feels is best, because that's the series I've been watching and enjoying all this time. And, not that I'm implying that anybody here is like this, if anybody has that big of a problem with the series and how it's going, they should just create their own, with their own personality for our personalityless protagonist.

XD You know, reading these diary entries every day, I actually don't mind the episode coming out late. After all, every day it's late, that's more content from J.C. here. Awesome work.

I think people are missing the point. It's not about effectiveness or the situation, but what looks more awesome. People say "the right tool for the right job", and right now the job is to look badass. Pistols have that "I'm so awesome, I only need one shot" feel to them. That's why you always see James Bond with that PPK and not a missle launcher. Shotgun and machine gun have their uses too, it's more about atmosphere. Really, if you wanted to go on about realism, you're doing it in a world with aliens, teleporters, and creepy old guys in suits that appear randomly and check out guys from a distance.

Hey, is it possible to give negative donations? That's where you give us money, and you still make videos. I would definitely donate if that were the case. I'd finally be able to buy a cotton candy machine. I've always wanted someone to have a pair of cotton candy boxing gloves. It just seems like an awesome way to eat cotton candy, just getting pummeled by a large bundle of fluff while eating it at the same time. Anyways, I've got something against the "have donaters create their own lines" idea. It's really not a problem if the person is funny, but if they're not funny, then it's a problem. I'd hate to see full movies filled with cheesy lines. I could also imagine that getting backlogged. (Bolded orange so people will be less likely to ignore the important part) My suggestion is to give advanced screenings on videos. Machinima always has their million year long queues. If there were a remote location for donaters to view movies while they're still in queue for a certain amount of time, of course eventually being taken down before someone leaks that location. I wouldn't expect it to be public knowledge, considering the relationship between Ross Scott and Machinima. Well the idea doesn't have to be exact.

I think the best part I'm anticipating the most is right before Gordon Freeman gets sent to Xen, while listening to the instructions from that one scientist, being told that he has to travel to the alien boarder world, locate some giant alien who is leading the invasion, and kill it. With Ross Scott's portrayal of Gordon Freeman as it is, completely reluctant to do anything but forced to do so in order to survive, I can imagine one nice, big rant while listening to this request. It's a shame it's so far off, but I can wait.
