- Done and done! What are the chances that my release lined up with a new episode of Freeman's Mind? How convenient! Here's a link to the Freeman's Mind Source material: • Freeman's Mind: Episod...
Hope you all enjoyed the animation! Thought I'd get it done quicker than usual because of it being half as long as the VideoGameDunkey one, but nope. This had a lot more work per scene than that video I have to say. Still got the release date though so it's all good.
HUGE thank you to Sierraffinity for the Gordon Freeman model! Safe to say if she didn't provide me with it, you wouldn't see any facial animations at all. Check out her channel here! : / sierraffinity
Keep an eye on my twitter for more announcements on my videos, and the odd shitpost here and there: / gt118

And if you're feeling generous, I have a Patreon for people who want me to stick around and make more animations. Any support is greatly appreciated! : / googleygareth
Until next time!

Except G-Man and the Resistance.
@Stix N' Stones yeah but what about white forest

"The customer shouldn't have to be packing heat in order to finish the ride." A beautiful quote.
Although, I'd love to pack some heat, personally.
Put this on my review of the Chicago tour bus.
Imagine being the commanding officer of these men and the last thing you hear over the radio is "STILL NO CHORUS!"
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!
I read that in the soldiers' voice, lol.
"and yea man, not only did he sing the song, he came up with a stanza on the fly while john wooing mp5's. It was a weird tuesday."
@@TheMinecraftACMan I cannot un-imagine this
@@TheMinecraftACMan lol. I imagined he saw the soldier beside him considering singing along and he just says “NO. STILL NO CHORUS. I WANT HIM DEAD!”
I recently learned this about Modern Major General, and it makes this scene a lot funnier. The lyrics to the song are all *supposed* to be dated. The information was actually basic knowledge, even when the song was created. The joke of the song is that he’s saying it all quickly so it sounds more impressive. In fact, in original productions of the play this originated from, the General would be reading from a dictionary before he broke out in song. It’s implied he was reading the definition of many of the words he was about to use in the song.
And that most of the information had little to do with actual warfare.
Gilbert and Sullivan were centuries ahead of their time in comedy. The opera this is from is from the goddamn late 1800s
There are a lot of prpdi tions of this play on RUclips... I've seen more than one where the general forgets the last line of each verse and sits there stroking hsi chin trying to come up with a rhyme, before one of his soldiers (or one of the Pirates) whispers it in his ear
I loved that part
One of the funnier ones is that he sings about being able to quote the Chorus of the Frogs of Aristophanes. The Chorus of the Frogs of Aristophanes, in its entirety, is "ribbit."
Imagine the myths that would be created from this encounter alone. If any of these soldiers survived, all they would be talking about was how their target just kept singing Gilbert and Sullivan line for line while dodging all fire and systematically taking out the entire squadron. That's how legends get started.
Garrett Carter Could you even imagine their commanding officer’s reaction to this ”status report” as he’s tearing them a new one?
Probably along the lines of this;
-NCO of the squad- "Sir! We've found the target, but he's giving us hell in a handbasket!" -modern major general being sung through explosions and gunfire-
-CO of unit- "How is one egghead in a ... Is that singing!?"
-NCO- "He's singing Gilbert and Sullivan at us while killing our guys, yes!"
-CO- "Gilbert an- he's singing that? What the hell!?"
-NCO, over tank shell- "The tank crew's got him- OH GOD WH-" -Static over radio-
-CO- "Hello? Hello? Damnit all. Why didn't I join the navy..."
That explains why he is a legend by the time of Half-Life 2! ;)
I'm also certain if any of them did survive they probably have PTSD that triggers when they see orange or hear that song
@@Gophilio4567 and why the army was so willing to go apeshit over him surviving the first encounter.
"He killed 20 men, I dont care what it costs get those tanks on the ground NOW! AND WHERE'S MY AIR SUPPORT???"
One thing I think really gets overlooked is the little quip at the end: "No, I don't need a signature, you have a nice day". The entire series is filled with snark from Gordon, but they're specifically made to pinpoint how detached he is from normal people. This one, on the other hand, is played completely straight, and it feels so cathartic because the battle that happened just proved he DESERVES to have this kind of self-confidence. Not played for either satire or horror. What a delivery.
The most overlooked part is "ooh button"
I think Ross has cemented himself as the official voice of Gordon Freeman.
KdogPrime honestly wouldn’t have it any other way
Nope
@@moistenvelopes Yes. Get over it.
Who is Ross?
@@Callsign_Bear Ross Scott, creator of Freeman's Mind. His channel is Accursed Farms, where he makes long-form videos pertaining to games you might not have heard of, as well as the aforementioned Freeman's Mind. FM is a "let's play" of sorts where Ross, instead of commentating over the gameplay, acts as the voice for Gordon Freeman. He's generally neurotic, psychotic, and overall just bloodthirsty. In addition, he really like Oxy but someone took his stash and all his shit out of his locker.
It's a good series that's technically still going with Freeman's Mind 2, which is the same idea but HL2. Uploads are slow but so worth it. You've probably encountered quotes from the series, as Ross is a comedic genius. "Coffee, coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee. Not as strong as methamphetamine, but it lets you keep your teeth."
"Ok come on, sing and I wont kill you"
Would have been hilarious if some soldier randomly stood up with his hands in the air and started trying to sing nervously
Since this is based on an actual playthrough of Half Life, that would have been impossible.
It would have been a funny scene, though, especially since it's entirely likely that this version of Gordon, especially at this point of his descent into madness, would have seen the soldier standing up, shot him without a moment's hesitation then only realized after the fact that the soldier was singing the chorus then come up with a super thin "justification" for why Gordon wasn't wrong to kill the singing soldier, something like "I bet he was reaching for a poison dart in his helmet or ... no, I bet he had elbow guns in his uniform that he was trying to aim at me. Yea, because these soldiers are just walking arsenals of guns, I mean, look at the heat I'm packing just from looting their dead bodies. I'm a theoretical physicist! I've never handled a gun before in my life and now I'm strapped like a doomsday prepper in Texas just from what these goons were carrying!"
@@Dargonhuman why did you manadge to make it sound so damn near that guy's thought process.
@@thenerd1153 I wrote that after binge-watching the entire series so my brain was in synch with his.
Proably turn on no target spawn a soldier- andddd add a voice actor
@@Dargonhuman It wouldn't have been impossible. He could have programmed in a scripted sequence.
This is the best!
New Freeman’s mind episode and a great SFM? What’s next, episode 3?
Whoa, 2Snacks is a lurkin' but yeah this is fucking brilliant.
@Deepest Red And have starlight be in the tank or the first death, either way works for that shite excuse of a character.

@Shadow Star I'd put down $100 for that no joke.

"Oh come on, I know someone is home."
(Bigger explosion.)
"No I don't need a signature, you have a nice day."
"Ah! Button! Oh good, yeah I kinda wanna keep moving, I get the feeling someone may have heard the sound of multiple tank shots and a tank exploding."
"Sometimes people investigate that sort of thing."
Nice!
Nice lyric, Dude. Hahaha
I sung the whole thing. Thank you for your efforts
I love how much pure detail is packed in this. The animations for him reloading, the ladder climb, the body floating on the water. It's all stuff that people would usually think is superfluous but it just adds so much to this. It might be your best animation yet.
Well this was the animation for modern major general doctor freeman.
It would be a disgrace if they didn't include those things
It's the kind of painstaking details that make enough sense for us to just take for granted, and yet it's the sort of details that are easily noticeable if they are missing.
Good old "damned if you do, damned if you don't".
The body dropping down to float correctly hits the bars and changes trajectory. This is art.
Remember kids: Details! They are appreciated.
yeah its a real shame he walks like he shat himself really.
Freeman is best boy.
No wait, Gareth is best boy.
Wait, Ross is best boy.
The boy market is saturated.
Boy value has dropped, the boy bubble has popped. Future boy investors are tearing their hair out.
they're all good bois
Ross is internet Jesus
*"STILL NO GUUURLS"*
@@desfox3685 Wrong!
Ross is mold.
The hilarious thing is this is kind of what Ross looked like when he STARTED Freeman's Mind, and the body language is VERY believable for the kind of character he turned Freeman into. Well done, animator. Well done. Maybe someday, we'll see the whole series reimagined as like... I dunno, a fuckin' movie or something. I'd buy it
Hell, I'd love to ACT in a movie like that with Ross Scott.
Accursed Farms presents: The Movie
Coming soon(?)
I’d be scared shitless if I saw my target running at me while singing and perfectly gunning down all of my squad mates like some sort of John Wick

“WHERES MY CHORUS?!” Amazing.
STILL NO CHORUS!
Freeman's Mind has the best one-liners, hands down. James Bond, eat your heart out.
Why would someone want to eat their own heart? /s
Soldier: I-is he singing?
Gordon: I can make a simulation of an atom bomb, if I wanted to.
Soldiers: WHAT..... WHAT THE FU....
@@d3athscythe575 But surely Freeman isn't really talking. It's just his thoughts. That's why the series is called Freeman's Mind :D And he's probably the most famous silent protagonist in FPS games along with Doomguy.
@@Lattamonsteri I know, but it makes it all the more hilarious to just imagine if he really did talk and did this.
@@d3athscythe575 ye i was also just checking if i understood the concept of the original series correctly xD it sure was more fun the way you thought about it
He also gargles in water. Maybe he has brain damage from the resonance cascade and can't tell the difference between an internal monologue and actual speech anymore?
I just love that he starts screaming "where's my chorus?" after they already started singing. Just another deep, complicated layer of Freeman's fractured grip on reality.
And definitely not just because the animator used a public domain recording of this song :D
This already was one of the best action pieces in the playthrough (the best was the one halfway into episode 49 with the multiple grenade dodges), but this video made it even better.
Pirate freeman has my vote for next action animation
I like that the hecu are so used to freemans shit that they dont even react to his singing
they have about 1 brain cell between all of them, they have to take turns
@@bekkayya and each one about to sing just gets killed immediately
Yea, frantically trying to survive being ambushed by an absolute madman in bulletproof armor will do that to ya.
@@Dargonhuman maybe they shouldn't have picked a fight with a madman in bulletproof armor. no, just me? okay i'll show myself out.
@@experienceevil8080 Well, I mean, there is _that_ ...
beautiful
Cyranek Ayy nice to see you here

Nice you uploaded this on the same day as the new episode
@@uncanny-hector-1906 Quite a modern one yes.
Wait wut there is a new one? What!
WeaponOfMyDestructio yeah it just came out today
mcSCUSE ME
I just love his writing, Gordon basically has ADHD, or he's tripping on Benadryl (Benadryl abuse results in carrying a conversation with yourself for some inexplicable reason)
I think it's just a funny personality
I must be tripping on Benadryl all the dang time, because I won’t shut up. Even when I want me to.
I have ADHD and trust me, I talk to my self all the time but Freeman... He is in a whole different level
I always assumed most of what he's saying is his "internal monologue" of thoughts and only like 15-25% of it is actually spoken out loud. The points of differentiation seem to be when he's "talking to himself" then gets interrupted, the interruption is spoken out loud and the part that gets interrupted is internal. Notice right after the interruption is finished, his dialogue is "Now, what was I thinking about?" now "Now what was I saying?"
48 hour energy and Benadryl
2:56 walks around the corner into the barrel of a tank
"Ah"
NateLB 3:00
@@eur0be4t3r
When you time stamp it at 3:00 you just get him at the corner without context that he's rounding a corner

You know, this made me realize: Freeman's mind is just nerdy Archer.
Huge props!! Still my fav game series and I would pay good money for a modern interpretation like this lol
Black Mesa is a modern remake, if don't know.
.
I DID! I DID ENJOYED THE NEW ANIMATION!
This stuff was freaking awesome
Enjoy*
Diinix Dude
This is me in any online game I play...
I'm not freeman I'm everyone else regardless of how much I play or practice.
Wished you would have used an M1 Abrams, but I bet using a T-90 was probably easier.
What is Russian tank doing being used by American special forces? Treason!
im fine with him using a t-90, its a smaller detail and while it would be nice to have it be accurate, i cant nitpick
Plot twist: RF mercs who were led by Python Ocelot.
@@meitaullray5071 A Hind-D?
I would have been fine with a T-90 but a newer model T-72BU seems an odd choice.
He really needs to be made the official voice of Freeman.
"Okay, delivery for Mr. Abrahm!"
Got damn, awesome line.
no one:
gordan freeman: i am fluent in 100 forms of kicking your ass
Headcanon accepted.
Gordon Freeman now broke his silence briefly to sing him some Penzance while trying to escape Black Mesa.
You seem to have a knack for animating people descending into madness.
To this day...
He is still looking for a chorus
Comparing this to Damn Dam shows how far you've come Gareth, the former is still great but this is spectacular. Well fucking done man.
I like how Freeman in Freeman's Mind is kinda of an Anti-Hero in his own special way...
Impeccable timing
Scott Ross just uploaded an episode too
@NML Wright Sross Cott.
This really has to be one of the best Freeman's Mind animations i've seen in a while!
Freeman’s Mind deserves to be animated, SOO much more. It’s one of this communities greatest treasures, and THIS was one of my favorite scenes in Freeman’s Mind.
I love how expressive Freeman is, and the action! The music that you edited underneath! Very well done. Loved it.
I remember one year in high school where I dedicated a section of my brain that partially controlled breathing to the memorization of Modern Major General, good times
This was an excellent animation. You did an amazing job capturing the look and feeling of the "Freeman's Mind" character. I honestly thought this could have been collaboration piece.
Very nice work. Nice usage of Ape Escape music at the end, too.
Was wondering what song that was. Thank you for helping me remember.
"Time Station - Ape Escape Music Extended"
Thanks for the help.
well this is a coincidental surprise, I'm currently binge re-watching the series again and this is pretty nice to see you do on animation based on that, nice work!
new episode out today too
This is just like an episode of the animaniacs.
Just with more blood and death.
@@Dargonhuman
And profanity.
Holy shit, after thinking about it, I totally want to see Ross Scott's take on Gordon Freeman meet up with the Warner siblings!
@@matthewmoran5297 Oh my God, that would be so amazing!
This is a very special type of Art that deserves a lot of appreciation. I love this, an I understood that reference.
the animation is full of detail and has a noticeable amount of effort, like how his fingers are realistically placed on the top of the ladder at 2:16. I have huge respect for you.
"...those of you that are left"
tank noise
"ah"
3:00 When you realize it was not the Americans you were shooting at in a game based in America.
3:18 Freeman knows it's an Abrams in the original script!
Two Freeman's Mind Videos in one day, and the animation is from one of my favorite moments. Thanks for the belated Valentine's Day Gift.
Bloody excellent work, dude. Thanks so much for reinventing this classic series.
1:56 *Me When I Activate God Mode*
"Sing and I won't kill you" is probably one of the most threatening things you ever could hear on a battlefield
the idea of how many times he had to re-record his voice while singing modern major general because of a slip of the toung makes my head hurt.
This was fantastic, I'm sure my friend who introduced me to freeman's mind would've loved it.
This was one of those parts that I had to just watch and listen to over and over in the original.
Haven't even heard of Freeman's Mind, and I'm already loving this!
I love how you finally removed this stupid helmet and put the original Hev Suit from black mesa on him, good job.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOME ONE TO ANIMATE THIS
IN FACT
I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN MAJOR GENERAL
I’VE INFORMATION VEGETABLE, ANIMAL AND MINERAL
I KNOW THE KINGS OF ENGLAND AND I QUOTE THE FIGHTS HISTORICAL
FROM MARATHON TO WATERLOO IN ORDER CATEGORICAL
I’M VERY ACQUAINTED TOO WITH MATTERS MATHEMATICAL
I UNDERSTAND EQUATIONS BOTH THE SIMPLE AND QUADRATICAL
ABOUT BINOMIAL THEORM IM TEAMING WITH A LOT O VIEWS
WITH MANY CHEERFUL FACTS OF THE SQUARE OF THE HYPOTENUSE
WHERE IS MY CHORUS!!?!!?
*inserts chorus*
@Jason Boudreau uh fuck ok
every soldier out here wants to kill him for his curiosity and wage war on the whole damn world for gjkdhgjkhrsdipoiujfsdi
I can't fucking make out these lyrics
and physics theoretical
he is the very model of a modern major general.
Shut the fuck up cringy bastard
Great job. Freeman's Mind is one of the funniest things I've seen on RUclips, and today I get this and a new episode?
Sweet.
1:00 to 1:31 This was just perfection. The writing and voice acting. Even the fish part. This internal reflection right here is why I love Freeman's Mind and all of Ross's works in general.
Very nice syncing with the music. Also goes to show how much thought and effort went into Ross's original. He's a very good general, and this animation was very fun and playful, too. Nice job, man.
Awesome!! Also, that Ape Escape music. I feel like I just remembered a whole forgotten era of my childhood by hearing that music.
2:47 definition of my life
If a man started singing this while simultaneously killing all of your comrades and he shouts *"WHERE'S MY CHORUS!?"*
You better do what he asks.
This landed a spot on my good songs playlist.
ah I was expecting the background music to turn into dubstep or something when he said 'this should be more modern'. fucking great stuff my man keep it up. I love how he is nearly a superhero but yea thats how this would probably look from the soldier's perspective.
So on his appearance on 'Conversations With Curtis' Ross was shown this video and he commented on how much effort must have gone into it, as well as how long it must have taken to make. He seemed impressed with the animation skill on display.
So take that as approval from the great one himself.
I’m more impressed that he sung it faster than the original song
Imagine how creeped out/horrified these spec ops troops are.... They were given orders to kill one random guy in a hazard suit.... And he begins slaughtering your entire army while singing Broadway.
0:55 1:06
I knew it. Gordon literally shoves his Weapons up his *Trunk.*
Mordin, Freeman and Ross. The greatest modern major generals.
YO its been a good minute since i heard the Ape Escape time station theme, good shit Googley.
This is the one clip I was hoping would get animated :)
Really damn good. I like the model without the helmet, looks better. Its a bit too late, but the tank he fought wasn't an abrams, but its okay. This was amazing anyways.
Dude, this was great! If you could make more Freeman's Mind stuff, that'd be awesome!
Excellent animation quality!
I end up using a lot of the scenes you make as wallpapers.
Why isn't this trending? It's simply amazing, especially the details.
3:18 Mr... Abramskovsky xD
I love the detail that he turns the SPAS-12 upside down to reload it
Ross Scott's Gordon Freeman would be best friends with Ryan Reynolds's Deadpool.
Change my mind.
Omfg someone needs to fund your animation. I've re watched Freeman's mind probably 10 times and having a full animated series would be a dream! Put this on Netflix or something... THIS IS AMAZING!
when i saw the original i thought "this is the best thing ever", with this video now it is the second best thing ever :D joke aside, great job!
My continuing headcanon is that, unlike Spartans who require augments to use any weapon instantly beyond simple training, Gordon was actually a serious gun nerd earlier in life.
He just happened to be the one in the suit that day. Even though he wasn’t prepared for its events, he was the most ready.
that song with the animated sene it make me laugh a fuckload
I absolutely love what this does with nonchalance. This is canon.
3:12 Gorgeous Freeman reference ?
The terror one must feel hiding behind cover hearing his song getting closer and his rage increasing with each,
"WHERE'S MY CHORUS?!?"
You tryin' to slip that Ape Escape music by me at the end I know what's up.
so after watching this 3 times now i still can't stop enjoying this. Besides the dialogue being awesome the animation feels so smooth.
Damn... When the mute starts singing you know shit got real and you better RUN for it
“Delivery for mr.Abrams”
“It’s okay, I don’t need a signature, have a good day”
Won't lie, i miss the helmet.
Oh don't you start.
I don't miss the head acting one bit.
So does Gordon
Someone stole it, remember?
The fact you managed to use this entire area for the song makes this feel like an actual music video, good job
2:05 this scene reminds me of toy story... Hmm
I like how this depicts him monologuing to himself out loud as it should
