Hey Ross loved the episode i have a few questions. When this all started happening you said you would probably have 46 done by the time Machinema sorted it out, is there a back log of episodes to be posted, if so what kind of schedule are you looking at for putting them out. ( I know this is a long shot as you were probably too busy but fingers crossed) Also you mentioned a Freeman's mind related project "this (Doom Guys Mind) was NOT the Freeman’s Mind related side project I mentioned earlier, that’s still a work in progress." Was that project your move to TGWTG ? Or is it Christmas already and you have some kind of video to announce?

I always understood why people were irritated when an episode had been in production for ages and was now finished but machinima delay it, but now we are getting freeman's mind on essentially a bi-weekly basis it just seems childish

The point of saying the suit can block stuff is because freeman's mind is skewed towards the realistic with Gordon being just a normal(ish) guy, therefore unlike the game where you can take a good handful of bullets and not die Ross is saying that the suit is protecting him. There are a couple of instances where we can see this such as the episode where he launches the rocket when all the soldiers audio chatter overlaps and he steps out in-front of them he gets shot a good couple of times Ross then says something like "Some of those shots were really close to my head!" but when he comes back to the control room there is a blood splatter on the wall where he was standing which wasn't there before. Its just a practicality thing so that Freeman isn't some bullet resistant Juggernaut but Ross also doesn't have to play through sections to make sure he isn't shot (I'm fairly sure he has God mode on) i imagine he wouldn't go with any footage that involves freeman being hit by rockets etc

Machinima get Ross a much higher view count for his videos, its annoying that it takes so long but you have to remember they upload a huge amount of videos to their channel every day many of which have a weekly release date and therefore would take upload priority to make sure they are uploaded in their correct time slot. Also Ross has suggested that they tend to shift around video release times so that there is never an over abundance or a dearth of videos being uploaded at any one time to create a consistent flow of video uploads. At the end of the day, its annoying that we have to wait a while for video uploads but its a necessary evil so be patience.

I doubt its anything other than Freemans mind seeing as he has already done the filming / dialogue pretty quickly. If i had to guess id say being knocked unconscious in episode 34 will give Ross the freedom to throw out some whacky ideas in "its a dream" form, maybe an episode filmed in a different game engine like half life 2 or hell maybe something crazy like Halo.

the Uk PC gamer magazine had a small strip by the reader mail section that contained a couple of cool machinima with a brief description, they featured episode 5 just after it came out so i gave it a look been hooked ever since !

Machinima is always super slow with Ross's uploads. I remember when the tunnel came out it took over a week for the upload after Ross said he had sent it in, it took so long that the weeks episode of "storymode" which featured a review and recommendation of the tunnel went up before the tunnel creating some kind of singularity of poor time management. But in all seriousness there is probably a good reason machinima takes so long BUT THAT WONT STOP US FROM RESENTING THEM!

I would place myself as Agnostic, as humans we really know very little so in my opinion to claim that there is no form of higher power is just as baseless a claim as the ones presented by most religions. I never really have had a problem with religion, at the end of the day even if it is all false most still prescribe a good moral value system.
