Oh, it's been translated to English as well. Just found that out: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Polish_Copyright_Law

Makes my blood boil. But anyway, I don't know if it'll help much, but the Polish (perhaps Magda can help you translate that) wikisource has the law in question for Poland. https://pl.wikisource.org/wiki/Prawo_autorskie there it stands: Rozdział 1: Przedmiot prawa autorskiego Art. 29. Wolno przytaczać w utworach stanowiących samoistną całość urywki rozpowszechnionych utworów rozpowszechnione utwory plastyczne, utwory fotograficzne lub drobne utwory w całości, w zakresie uzasadnionym celami cytatu, takimi jak wyjaśnianie, polemika, analiza krytyczna lub naukowa, nauczanie lub prawami gatunku twórczości. which basically says, if I'm not mistaken, that you're allowed to use parts of some works for reasons of explaining, discussing, analyzing, criticising or teaching.

Hi, Ross, thx for this episode. You made my day. This game is one of my all time favorites. It's actually originally a Czech game released in the Czech Republic under the name "Posel smrti" (which means "Messenger of death") by a Czech studio Unknown Identity. They made a game before that called "Posel bohů" - "Messenger of gods" (there's even an Easter egg - In the boiler room of the sanatorium there's a poster of this previous game, on which Samuel comments that it reminds him of something.) (So yeah, if after the release of the new Black Mirror game you think you are swamped by search results only relating to this new game, you can always try googling "Posel smrti" and use a translator) Anyway, for me the original Czech voice acting is like 60% of enjoyment. You would think that Slavic language in a very British environment would be very weird, but the developers got some of the best actors at the time to voice the characters and they made a hell of a job. Unfortunately the original Czech dubbing can obviously really be appreciated only by people who understand Czech language. The sequels, which have been made by German studio Cranberry Productions, like you mentioned don't quite compare to the original on any level. Keep up the good work, Ross!

It's more than what I usually make per half a year, roughly, and this is in this single month. And I am just here in CZ, next to Poland, couple hundred kilometers. Without any critics, I think Ross deserves it, but what the heck is he spending all them moneyz on? I mean, looking to history the donations never went under 1k per month. You can live with such money alone in Poland without any troubles and you do not have to even think about any 'tube dollars whatsoever. So unless he wants to save for a house with this, what's the problem? Can as well just give up all them 'tubes and keep it on this site alone. I have a recurring donation to Ross, I also live in CZ and I can live off about 800$ a month. BUT I live with a flatmate. Isn't rent in Gdańsk expensive or something? Anyways, It's his business, I don't actually want him to explain himself or anything. Expenditure might be personal for people.

Not very nice of them indeed! I can certainly understand why you're upset, Ross. I wish you wouldn't have to deal with all this sh**. If you're down, just keep in mind that you bring joy to a lot of people
-
Some Polish people might get fairly touchy about the thing, (perhaps I would too, I dont know) anyway ... Ross moved to Poland. Poland is not in east europe. Poland is in Central Europe. To partly answer your quesiton: I don't know about personal, but if you have weird questions, then here you go: For me and Ross, it's gonna be 22:00. Can't wait.

All right, cheers for that! I added it to the list

I forgot about that statistic. Yeah... It might turn out the same. And I understand, that both you and Ross are very busy. But still: If a meetup happens in Gdańsk: Yuhuu! If a meetup happens in Prague: Yuhuu as well! Also, I can show you around, I live there. I'm looking forward to any advancements on this.

Hi, fellow Ross Scott fans! Is anyone of you from Europe and would you be interested in a European fans meetup? I proposed the thing in a different thread and I'm fairly baffled as to why nobody answered. I'm sure there must be dozens of European fans who would appreciate such an event. What do you think? Would you come?

Hello everyone, today's lecture will be about doubt. ...Or perhaps something else, I haven't decided yet. -Qualmpeddler, Bill Bailey

I went trough a (admitedly very old) thread, where people had written where they are from. I counted 32 people from the Americas, 29 from Europe and 8 from other continents. I know that that's just a few people who happended to fill this 3 years ago and it's not that representative sample, but even if only 25% of the fans were from Europe, I think there might still be a very nice turnup if a meeting in Gdańsk would happen.

Hi, speaking for myself, I love the videos and the 1st April ones are some of the best, I think. I appreciate both the quality and the yonks of time Ross must have spent creating it. Thank you, Ross! Anyway, back to the topic. I would definitely go to a fans meetup in Europe as I'm sure many others would. If Prague is inconvenient, why not do it in Gdańsk? (at least I think that that's where Ross and Magda live) You know just let people buy you your beans (see fundraiser video) for one day. I personally would love for such a meeting to take place in the next few weeks as I'm going to Gdańsk, but perhaps it's worth doing a poll about, see how interested would other fans be ...

Jsem z Prahy, no. Ale slovanské diskusi bych se chtěl vyhnout (alespoň na tomto vláknu) - přijde mi to nezdvořilé vůči lidem, co "Slovanštinu" neovládají EN: Well yes, Im from Prague. But I'd like to avoid slavic discussions (at least on this thread) - I find it mildly rude to the people, who don't speak "Slavic"
-
Would anyone understand you, if you were writing in Polish? Well I would, since Czech is fairly similar to Polish, others can use some online translator.

Hey everyone, here's an update you probably weren't expecting. I normally try not to have endorsements for other videos on this site unless it's something I'm involved in as requests for that can get out hand fast. Well I'm making an exception to this rule because my girlfriend has made some videos of her own and wanted me to promote them, so that mean it's pretty much federal law that I have to endorse them. So behold, Magda Conquers Black Mesa: This is essentially "Freeman's Mind", except in the Black Mesa mod with her expressing her own thoughts. I've received several questions from people asking before if I plan to redo Freeman's Mind in the Black Mesa mod. I do not plan to, so this is as about as close as you're going to get from me, except it's not me. I had no involvement in the creation of this, this was entirely my girlfriend's initiative. All I did was show her how to do basic recording and editing. I enjoyed the first episode, although my biggest criticism about her videos is her mouse movements are quite twitchy, so it may make you a bit motion sick watching it in full screen. Also I'd like to emphasize that while I am happy to give her free publicity on her videos and enjoy parts of them, I am playing Pontius Pilot and washing my hands of the matter regarding feedback on them. If you have compliments, criticisms, or requests for them, go ahead and post them here, or better yet, on her Youtube channel, but I'm not getting involved beyond this (admins will still ban anything that's not civil however). This is so I don't have to defend her videos against every potential criticism made on the internet. I would set my modem on fire before doing that. Also it's worth mentioning that you may notice Magda has a non-American accent. This is because she is Polish. By extension, I have also been in Poland for a while now, although I was back in the USA during the summer last year when I had the meet-up. I originally made an announcement about this on April Fool's Day a while back to create some ambiguity however. Some people are still confused about that, so this is a good a time as any to set the record straight, I am actually in Poland. I fell for the attractive-intelligent-woman-throwing-herself-at-you trick. Even James Bond falls for that one. And really, I think the best April Fool's Day jokes are the ones that cause doubt not just on April Fool's Date, but even years afterwards. Anyway, more work is being done on my videos as well, expect more this month! P.S. Magda says subscribe to her channel! ADHD version: Ross's girlfriend made some Freeman's Mind-esque videos!

The Tunnel Discussion Thread [CAUTION: Spoilers!]
anthony replied to doomplayer's topic in Civil Protection
I read some (respose/news post) from Ross Scott, where he stated, that many of the scenes from the trailer are changed in the actual episode and some werent even included, like the one you have mentioned. The funniest moment for me was when the accelerated electronic music came on (I expected some intense action), and they reached a dead end, so they had to go back, with the same action music... Kind of a subtle joke (maybe not even ment to be a joke), but I loved it all the better.
