Really? 6 hours? I mean lambda sector is big, but it's not THAT big. The walls are also colour coded where they lead you to objectives in most areas, throughout Black Mesa, which is introduced in the opening scene.

Glad for you man. I'm sorry I couldn't donate, as I'm still a student and the budget is tight right now, but as soon as I find some form of income, I'll try and send something your way. The laughter you have given me has been life-saving in some occasions (like the time I was stressing out about my final year exams for my bachelor, and I couldn't study and suddenly I see in front of me... new Freeman's Mind. I don't remember now which episode it was, but it really lifted all the stress I had and was able to study and write well in the exam later on). Keep up the good work and you are worth every penny you received and more. Also, thank you for showing to me the magic that is Eternam. I've downloaded it when I saw your RGD episode and have more than 50 hours in it so far and enjoying it very much. Also, Tyrian was a game I used to play as a kid a lot on my brother's old computer, but forgot what it was (and my brother didn't really remember it either because he installed it for me as he wasn't much of a gamer). When I saw the name, it immediately came back to me and you've gifted me with childhood memories. This has been a longer thank you note than I first intended, but it's to show you why people feel guilty that they can't donate or can't donate as much as they'd like to you. You provide quality content sir, and you provide good laughter and entertaining history of old and forgotten video games that should have never been abandoned. And you've never asked for anything in return until now, although you've been through some hard shit for quite a long time. I hope these funds will help you in stabilizing your life and getting back to your feet. And even if Freeman's Mind doesn't get finished this year, don't worry too much about it. But you better get those robotic dogs. If not, maybe we can work out some bionic/cyborg parrots

Well, actually for two game dungeon reviews: -> Lemmings -> Abuse Lemmings is a kinda famous puzzle game (it certainly was back in its time) and Abuse is a 2D shooter with some very labyrinthine level progression. Basically it has a bunch of secret rooms in each level, and some of them contain portals that will take you to other levels. If I remember correctly, it's possible to go from Level 1 or 2 to the level before the last one. I don't know if you take requests, and I'm not demanding anything. It's just I'd like to see a review on these two games, since they were actually the first two games I've ever played and drew me into gaming. Also, I was wondering if you or anyone else knows this game, as I'm trying to find it, but with no luck: You are an archaelogist, trying to pass through a series of traps to escape a pyramid (or go to its core, not really sure). Your enemies include mostly mummies, but also other creatures that I don't remember. It's sort of a platformer puzzle game. The prevalent colour in the graphics was green. The graphics themselves are very simplistic, mostly straight lines, outlining figures against a black background. It was pretty old, I think a few years older than the Prince of Persia DOS game. If anyone has any idea what the title was, I'd appreciate it. EDIT: Also, if possible, I'd like to see a Blades of Vengeance review (you'll need a Sega Genesis emulator for this, Gens or Genesis). Best adventure hack-slash platformer ever.

[email protected] this is the email for support for modders. they can probably accomodate you. I used it a year ago maybe for a mod on portal 2 that i was trying to create and their response was quite prompt. EDIT: hope you get better ross, need my FM fix soon

You know, you could maybe send them the audio file separately and ask them to embed it on the video themselves (I don't think it'd be much trouble), or you could just try every possible format of video/audio form till it works

Idea pitch: You could always try broadening your audience by appearing in other people's shows as a guest. You could contact the guys from Doraleous & Associates, and volunteer to do some voice acting for them for example for a couple episodes as a guest character. If you are into stuff like D&D you could try joining some party that do online shows. For example, countermonkey DMs for parties that consist of other youtube and internet celebrities (Angry Joe is in it for example). Anyway, doing free stuff that doesn't require you to work too much, and possibly in exchange for having the people you work with link your videos in their descriptions, could increase your audience. You get your name out there to people who might not have known you, but would be interested in your videos (assuming you do this kind of work for video-game/board-game/geek-related stuff). Furthermore, you could always go about doing reviews of stuff. A lot of people will say that reviewing is too mainstream to catch on in Youtube, but cynicism always makes up for a funny review. If you use the same humour as you do in FM and CP, picking minor things and over-analyzing them in a cynical way, that would be something I'd certainly watch. It could also give your current audience something to watch in between new releases for FM and CP, if you manage to do it without taking too much of your time. An alternative to reviewing would be let's-play videos. Play the game and just do commentary for it. It doesn't need to be in the format of Freeman's Mind either, you can just be yourself and talk during the game. And I think I speak for everyone when I say, I want to see more of Doomguy's Mind. That was hilarious and well done work. Hell you could do it with other video games as well. Another thing, more directed to the rest of the people here. To my experience, most people I know (including me) don't go about watching "recommended" videos on Youtube, because they usually suck. Me and my friends usually watch stuff that we recommend to each other, that their friends have recommended etc etc. And believe me when I say, most of the stuff I watch don't have more than 2-3 thousand views (my point being, they never qualified for the "youtube's recommended list" for someone else to find it and pitch it to me or smth like that). Youtube is losing its credibility to show you stuff you'd be genuinely interested in. The most credible source people have for watching/reading/playing/doing things they'd probably like is their friends and peers. So go about and spread the Freeman love.

Anything new on the situation?

Do we have any news on what's going on with the Machinima contract?

I think your videos are pretty famous by now to be able to stand on their own on Youtube, at least if you didn't sign the rights over to machinima. Your FM videos range from 1 million to 250 000 views, which warrants a lot of ad revenue from viewing counts. We could all help in spreading the word as well, and we could do some shameless advertising in reddit, 4chan, 9gag etc etc. Some people suggested RT as well, which I prefer over machinima personally. I usually have to swim through a sea of crap in all 50000 machinima channels to find something I like, whereas in RT everything is more to my taste. You can also go to the Escapist to be posting your videos. They recently announced they'd start hosting the Dolareous & Associates series (to all who don't know it, it's a very fun show).

Didn't like the begining of Duke Nukem, like it had the spirit of the old games but it was kinda too much guided for me, not much experimentation and difficulty. Later on it gets better

Places number 2 and 3 are held by Thief I and Thief II on expert difficulty. Hardest game ever is Supermeatboy. And those of you who haven't played it, well... it's an awesome game but by the time you fail for the thousandth time to pass the second level, well let's say the pc monitor will be flying out of the window Also there's this really old game called Abuse, which consists of a Robocop-like character shooting at radioactive mutant dog zombies strapped with laser rifles, grenade launchers and rocket launchers on their backs. At first it's easy but as the game goes on you are overwhelmed by wave upon wave of enemies to which you have no reaction time windows. You have to be instantenous at shooting and killing. For anyone who wants this game, I have a downloadable free version (the game is so old and the company that used to make it went bankrupt, which resulting in releasing the game with some unfinished areas as a free copy) so contact me if u want some good old vintage 2D shooter

well, the amnesia thing is intended in the game as well sort of, although not having freeman forget everything. However, in the game, you have to start all over again, by starting from scratch, with little health and no power armor and no guns, except the crowbar for a while. It's not a bad idea, but somehow it wasn't very well played out by ross. I mean, if someone wakes up in a place and he doesn't know how he got there and then aliens start trying to kill him, well I expected him to be more freaked out. Like the trash compactor sequence, he's very mellow and starts climbing out immediately, I'd expect him to panic there. No matter how hangover u r, when u r gonna die, adrenaline pumps in ur blood and makes u panic. Also, he doesn't notice the blood on his suit, and doesn't startle when he sees the dead guy. In the first episodes when he finds the first dead bodies he's quite suprised, disgusted, etc, and admitedly if he forgot everything he should relive the same suprise etc now with the new dead body. Anyway, I'm not a Ross Scott, so I might be all bullshit talking

maybe he misnamed it on his computer, let's not forget he already has made 2 special episodes and he may have them labelled as regular episodes so by count there's 37 episodes, including the two specials

I didn't much like freeman forgetting everything, I'd much prefer him being startled when in the crash compactor, and having some memory of what happened before but it's still a great episode and dont wanna sound all whiny when i said what i said. oh and the pun is the part where he says: "am i a werewolf?" because it's a reference to the other episode where he howls at the moon me thinks

all i have to say is: <3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 that is all

im not talking abt the newsfeed. Im talking about this part of the site: http://www.accursedfarms.com/movies/ if you go to "Other Movies" the 2 new videos (Life of a zombie and Halo episode 2) are not listed there. It'd be easier for people to find them if they went over there, instead of looking for them in Youtube (if they forgot their title) or looking in the newsfeed section. EDIT: On another note, the Youtube version of Galaxy Gulp is glitched, and by glitched i mean: out-of-sync sound, black screens, stopping midway buffering.

http://www.accursedfarms.com/

btw, why aren't these posted in the blog under Other Movies (or anything else?) It'd be easier to track Ross's videos from the blog than from a forum me thinks

hey man, i can help with greek as well. If you are working on any other subtitle files let me know and we can split the job in half
