Mr. Mister

I'd like to point out that someone who read Ross' explanation of why Gordon recognises Klein but not Barney on the chat wrote it into tvtropes for posterity. This got memthinking, will he finally remember him when he has to entr a vent (can't remember if in ep0 hwile going to the citadel or in ep1 while escaping it) and Alyx comments how he and Barney used to race on hwo could get inti Klein's office first when he forgot thenkeys? Will he say "oh, he's THAT guard? He thought it was a race? I thought he was chasing me for [insert Freeman thing to do here] since he was always behind"? Or will he declare that's something Barney made up, like lying syaing you're buddies with a celebrity?

Fun fact: Seeing as how you posted this at 11:31 UTC, then you finished Freeman's Mind roughly half an hour before 2015 in UTC+12, but already at 2015 in (according to Windows) Nuku'alofa, Samoa (both at UTC+13) and Kimitari Island (UTC+14). Here's hoping you didn't have donators from there. Freeman would've totally boxed all those Gmutants at the end though.

BTW, the Youtube thumbnail isn't the logo.

Forget about unknown variables, Einstein's description of insanity fits very well with his initial rejection of quantum mechanics. Of course, he later had to admit that he was wrong in that regard as quantum mechanics were, well, proven true. I wouldn't blame him though, quantum mechanics really must have seemed insane at the time. This is probably what Freeman had in mind at the end: everything being fucking insane would be akin for quantum mechanics being universal. Toxins and infestations (even intracorporeal ones) are one thing, but infectious diseases of alien origin are an improbability: no living antigen (or virus or prion) will kill you if it hasn't evolved to your biology.

It's probably just that the holster animation resets the weapon model's state model to "loaded". Since the rocket launcher is, IIRC, the only weapon with visible differences when loaded or outta ammo, a missile magically appears when it's holstered without being reloaded.

Acting.

I was expecting a Coriolis joke there. Another possibility is that the teleporter can easily calculate the total momentum of the teleported cargo (which can be the contents of a space bubble around it, with the teleporter triggering if there's more than a certain amount of gravitational mass inside it), calculate the velocity of its centre of mass from it and its mass, and then extract that same velocity homogenously, which probably involves gravitons. To me, every teleporter or portal technology makes much more sense if you imagine it's all connected to a big energy capacitator and a momentum engine at the core of the facility, which provide/store the differences in energy (both kynetic and potential) and momentum from whatever's teleported.

I'm surprised Gordon didn't try to throw a grenade to that big teleporter at the end. He could've done so from such an angle that, if it didn't get teleported, it would go through that window and explode without damaging the teleporter; and if it did teleport, he wouldn't have to worry about the explosion being teleported back.

Ha, "that" should've totally killed Freeman. Damn them invisible walls.

He'd probably grip as hard as possible into catching the black cube, as a clear goal is the only way to avoid paranoia in there. Still, cue to many profound phrases. Or factor difference.

Eugh, 180-30 any day. Higher framerates are really important for playing games due to things like higher responsiveness and the lack of real films' blur, but watching video is generally fine with a lower framerate, so long as all the motion in each frame's time span is captured. On-the-fly interpolation (or interpolation to artificially increase framerate in general) doesn't look as good as Ross' method. Oh, you'd be surprised what SVP can do. I won't have access to my desktop computer until the weekend, so I can't test it right now (laptop can't handle it). Thing is, it obviously does worse if its source video has motion blur already, so I can't get impartial results.

I'm just curious: What would look better, a 30Hz video with motion blur calculated from a 180Hz source, or a motion blur-less 30Hz video upped to 60Hz with a real-time frame interpolator like SVP (which also works on YouTube videos)? At 480p your methode probably works better, but at 720p and considering HL1's voxel (relative) simplicity, I'm curious on the comparision (I can run it for 720p with a 560 Ti no prob).

Owwww, you almost made it. Thinking back, maybe your standard/Freeman voice sounds a bit too old for Daniel, though the inflexion is great, if a bit too cynical (that might just be me being reminded of Gordon). If I overcome the picken candidate, you keep the key and eventually feature Unepic in Ross's Game Dungeon instead.

Hey TNT, long time no see! I didn't know you roamed around here. Remember me, the Fookunity clown? Also a McGyver reference in a future episode is a must now.

He doesn't need one to just grapple onto a low-flight chopper. And we assume he wouldn'¡t crash it, just land it...
