Episode 53 is almost certainly the last episode in Forget About Freeman, with Lambda Core starting either towards the beginning of Episode 54 or towards the end of Episode 53.

I feel like "Magda Conquers The Black Mesa" would be a better title.

An average of 8.83 episodes per year, then!

I do think a lot of people underestimate the length of Forget About Freeman, though. I could easily see it taking several more episodes; I find it unlikely he'll finish it next episode.

Two episodes are supposed to come out within a month. That's probably one episode away from finishing "Forget About Freeman". And the BM team still hasn't even started on Xen.

Yes, but what odds do you place on it coming out before FM gets to Xen?

That'd be nice if Xen existed in Black Mesa. Eh, even if it did, I'd still prefer using the original game, it'd fit in better. Oh, also, looking forward to the reaction to the second FAF message.

I was fine with the ghost thought-train; the only FM thing I've ever really been left cold by was the song, but that might have been less disappointing for me if it wasn't right after such a long time gap. (THANKS A LOT MACHINIMA.COM) I'm really looking forward to Freeman's slow-burning relief that the military's given up on him, mixed with irritation that they're not following their damn orders properly.

I wish that happened in the actual game.

Machinimaestros.

In Episode Two, in the room with the Rocket Propelled Gordon achievement: "Hi, I'm Gordon Freeman, and this is Jackass."

I wish I could say this, but the actual reason I never subscribed to them is because Freeman's Mind was the only thing they had I was interested in and they pump out videos constantly, so I didn't want to clutter my feed.

I'm just glad I no longer have to support Machinima to conveniently watch your videos.

I'm guessing *Ross* knowingly shot the security guard, but the idea here is definitely that Freeman did it by accident. It was set up very well.

Wow, awesome!

New FM today or tomorrow!

Wow, the Kleiner announcer is pretty good. You should see if you can get him to do a special scientist voice for a future FM episode!

I hope a new episode comes out soon!

The moment in the last episode where a security guard runs straight into Gordon's fire.

Both scenes where he kills Barneys are tied. The one where he kills one intentionally is more jarring, but the reasoning makes sense, so you can't even really say it's that indicative of his insanity. And the one where he kills one by accident is such an amazingly traumatic moment to organically flow from the game.

I have to admit that I didn't like the steering wheel gag, but it wasn't so much because he was "treating the graphics literally" (what?) but because he didn't make nearly as big of a deal out of it as a real person would. I mean, you don't exactly see cars without steering wheels every day, or even at all.

Two more episodes til #50!

It even rhymes!

So is it safe to say the episode is not coming today?

Portal. I got it when it was free. Then I bought most of the rest of Valve's library.
