I haven't played either one, what did I reference? ok, so it was gamer-me understanding them wrong. In this episode, insanity talk reminded me of Far cry 3 Vaas's talk of insanity and in last one (if i remember correctly, too lazy to rewatch it at moment), you seemed referring to GDI commando line "i got a present for ya" (part where 5(?) c4 charges were thrown under gonarch) also, c&c tiberian dawn was the game that boosted RTS games on market (dune 2 invented, c&c perfected... until EA took over). 1995 game, freeware for years now The definition of insanity came from Einstein, Also there have been so many games, movies, tv shows, etc. it's pretty much impossible NOT to say something that hasn't already been said before, you should automatically assume nothing is a reference unless it's an exact quote

Are you still taking bets?

I actually like the Game Dungeon better than freeman's mind, it's nice to finally have some variety and actually hear Ross talk directly to the audience, it makes me feel like I know you better

No, this can be explained by NOT EXPLAINING THIS ANYWHERE IN THE GAME. Freeman hasn't had ANY briefing on this, the Lambda labs were outside his security clearance. While I gloss over it for the sake of the series, Freeman would be extremely weak at this point having exhausted adrenaline, doing strenuous physical activity, and barely having any food for two days. He's not qualified for this at all aside from being a tenacious survivor. While he doesn't have faith in the military or the Black Mesa staff, I don't think I've suggested Freeman considers the entire globe to be incompetent. Freeman has no evidence this isn't a localized event confined to Black Mesa aside from one scientist saying otherwise. Keep in mind, these scientists also claimed they had to "seal off" the area when aliens were clearly teleporting inside. Freeman doesn't trust these people, but he's hoping they can teleport him AWAY FROM BLACK MESA since all hell has been broken loose, he suspects it could get nuked, and he's still lost and hungry. Even if they are telling the truth, he's in no condition to handle this and figures there would be better people for the job. I mean everybody's commenting on how selfish he is, but in this scenario, they're asking an awful lot and not telling him much at all. You'll hear some more on this topic in the next episode, I didn't work in everything I meant to say on it in this one anyway. Anyway, you can't really take a game like Half-Life too seriously, it doesn't hold up to serious scrutiny, Valve masks most of this with a lack of information. The game is so outrageously sparse on details, that's the very reason a character like Freeman can even exist, they've left so much open. He did have Doritos™ and Coffee™

I think you're wrong about him being out of character by "trusting" the scientists, and just bumbling around. That's basically what he's been doing this whole time! He just has been trying to find his way out safely and keeps accidentally getting into the crossfire of some other crazy shit going down, and he has trusted the word of others before hand, like when he trusted a half dead guard that the tram would take him directly to the surface and that didn't work out for him. Also when he let's multiple scientists open doors for him, is that being out of character? No, because that's just how Freeman is, he uses people for his own benefit, he doesn't give a shit about them, he also is meant to be portrayed a neurotic, and nigh-schizophrenic with serious paranoia going on, in his mind the scientists are just talking random bullshit as usual, when have you ever heard him take a scientist seriously? In one episode the scientist was stranded on a reactor and telling him how dangerous it was and all Freeman could do was name him his new monkey and generally fuck around, so he honestly thinks as long as he tells them what to do, like they have up to this point, that they'll listen to him and everything will work out wonderful, although I do find that a bit too optimistic for his character, it fits how random and insane he can be at times, honestly though, how would you expect Freeman to react?

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this

Fuck yeah!

I think I've only skipped the complete common-sense areas where a pullup is the only thing causing a circumvention and would be the natural impulse to do in the situation. I don't want to see more comments along these lines in the forums unless people are literally willing to bet money against me that I won't do it (and I won't cheat making half-assed episodes). Just saying you have only just over 3 months left, I really can't wait for you to get Freeman's Mind done so you can work on other shit, like RGD and bringing Civil Protection out of it's coma

Only 5 episodes have been done since the fundraiser, you really gonna get finished this year?
-
I love freeman's mind and all, but the reason I think it would be better to finish it this year is just to get it done, that way you finally have time to do other projects, freeman's mind takes up too much of your time

Can't wait for the next game dungeon, fuck

WE NEED MORE GAME DUNGEONS
