When I first discovered Freeman's mind, the entirety of Half-Life 1 had already been covered by the series. It has now been over a year since he's started Freeman's mind with HL2. We are on episode 7. I now truly know what it means to be a Freeman's mind fan.
It was impressive at first, but then I started getting the feeling that he practiced it beforehand. You can see that he walks back to stand on a piece of cardboard in order to remember where to shoot from.
the can rapidly changes its trajectory, im betting my money that he edited the map to modify the physics or use other game entities to just suck the can into the trash can, or help himself somehow.
You know if this Dr.Brean bastard established city 17 on Hawaii then that is one obnoxious bastard. Next thing you know if dr.brean is high then he might play Moana's your welcome
One year ago today April Fool's Day was cancelled forever as the concept was utterly destroyed by a legitimate, wonderful thing that just so happened to come out on April 1st.
*Barney:* It's me, Gordon. Barney, from Black Mesa *Gordon(Ross):* Not ringing any bells. *FLASHBACK TO FM1 Ep.1* *Gordon(Ross):* Ahh, I'm not the only one who's late....SUUUUUCKER!!!
Legyfix Team It's funnier when you remember the Barney's Mind series, where Barney repeatedly refers to Gordon as if they hung out a lot. I want to say that towards the beginning of the Barney's mind series, Barney states that they went to college together.
Let's be honest, though. Barney probably hung out *near* Gordon and thought they were friends. Gordon ran with a different pack altogether. Those guys were *crazy*.
I remember another guy doing a Freeman's Mind 2; when he reached the "beating quota" line, he said something like "Yeah, I can imagine". I like this version better :D
Mr. Doggy Meaty It kind of is but not really. This has to be the actual episode for a lot of different reasons, which I won't go into unless you actually care. The gag is that because this is on April Fools eceryone thinks it's fake. But it isn't and is the real thing thus fooling us. It's very meta but it fits something Ross would do for humor.
yeah rick and morty actually pulled the same thing, they released the first episode of season 3 on 1. of april and everybody thought it was a joke... but it wasn't! yeiihy
I was actually stoked but also slightly annoyed by the Rick and Morty gag, because I've been waiting for season 3, but they also pushed back the 4th episode of Samurai Jack for it! XD Oh well, apparently they'll be airing it in Wednesday, so we wont have to wait another whole week.
Huh. Just realized it's taken Ross four years to get about six chapters into this fourteen chapter game. We're about to re-experience what it's like for a playthrough to take ten years. This is pure freeman's mind right here.
I love how Gordon references Tripods because of course, he's a science geek he knows war of the worlds, but when he mentions "are you guys capped" it's implied his first thought is the preteen series The Tripods he probably read as a kid and isn't the intellectual he makes himself out to be
Funny thing is that at my university (TU Berlin) we had a Prof Dr. Peter Pepper, he taught us the basics of Computer Science with a language he invented. So, yeah, if I were born a bit earlier - I would be able to get my degree with help of Dr. Pepper (unfortunately the guy retired, be he was cool and always humorous about students bringing him cans of Dr. Pepper drink)
It's a strange thing to comment on, but I really like that Gordon both remembers and seems to respect Kleiner. We're so used to him being dismissive and caustic to everyone he meets, but he not only immediately recognizes Kleiner, he even trades respect and talks about how he trusts his fellow scientist's word. I know that this is a comedy series, but it's actually a really interesting side to see in Gordon's character that makes me want to know more about their relationship. Like, what would Kleiner have done to break through Gordon's egotism and actually become a genuine friend and colleague to him? Ross could have just as easily made Gordon every bit as rude and uncaring about Kleiner as he usually is to everyone else at Black Mesa, but instead he chose a very different reaction that speaks a lot to Gordon's complexity as a character. I'm just saying, I really appreciated it.
Maxwell Garnaat Yeah, what I love about Freeman's Mind is that Freeman seems like a person only there to make no sense and crack jokes, but the character actually has a personality under all that comedy and it shines theough sometimes.
I'm pretty sure it's another take on the running gag about Kleiner being quite an interesting character himself. Like how he sometimes turns out to be a rapper (by Schrodinger's cat!), a sex maniac (with Freeman gone, his pet disappearing and Alyx being at Eli's) and a weapon of mass destruction named "The Most Annoying Sound in The World". For curious: search for "DoctorK", "Gorgeous Freeman" (be wary of gorgeous butt) and "GMod Idiot Box".
I love comments like these, as I really do see a genuine art like what Ross makes, and in the place people least expect like RUclips. For those who say its dumb to overanalyze a RUclips video, some are worth digging deep for.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I'm in my 20's now, but growing up, this was one of my favorite youtube series of all time. Seriously, top tier, super underrated content. I'm so happy you're making these again, especially if you're happy doing it
Michael Daisley I hope so, but doubt it. I imagine that given the context Freeman will be too pissed to make such a lighthearted comment. Edit: Wow, I predicted something correctly? I gotta write this down, this never happens…
Imagine if Valve went with the original idea of having the Gman explain what you're supposed to do before putting you on that train? Would have saved this Freeman some headache trying to figure things out. XD
@@RyoLeo You got to figure it out. First game you are told who you are and what you do... Also you are late for work. This one you are the right man in the wrong place. Wake up and smell the ashes.
Wait a minute... Tripods... Caps... This doesn't happen to be a reference to "The Day the Tripods Came" or something like that, a book I read in 8th grade, does it?
I have an idea, Ross. I don't know how far ahead you've planned but this could be good, like how you spliced Uplink into Freeman's Mind: so after you and Alyx teleport away from Nova Prospekt, you should teleport to the Lost Coast, cause at the end of LC you teleport away anyway so it would be pretty seamless when you teleport to Kleiner's lab. Just a thought!
You know that's actually not a bad idea. Kind of a shame there isn't a better sequence in the game for a teleporting side-episode, but then again that part does take Freeman and Alyx a week to show up at their destination in real time...
Are you the legit sound editor for Freeman's Mind? If so, I'm glad you think it's a good idea, hopefully you'll consider it :-) And yeah, the week long gap might work well into Lost Coast...sort of, it's a pretty short little episode but hey, it'd be a nice transition of sorts :-) Nice job on the videos, bro! (IF you're the actual guy lol)
Haha, you weren't supposed to recognize me. I'm as much a fan of the series as you, and my opinion is just that; it's Ross who rightfully makes all the decisions. What I can do though, when the time comes, is mention it to him while we're working up to it, and if he hasn't already thought about it or read your comment, he'll let me know. Thanks anyway, and remember it's still a long while away yet.
That'd be so beyond cool if you told him and if he actually did that, I'm definitely under some wishful thinking right now! lol Ross is the best, and I always notice when some sound comes in his videos that isn't in the actual game, I actually hear some new things (ambient noise, distant shouting and gunfire, etc) in the episodes every now and then and they are pretty seamless, so good on ya bro :-) 'you weren't supposed to recognize me' No offense (truly) but you aren't exactly doing a good job concealing your name haha I'm joking, of course but you may have the best name ever and it always stuck out to me. Almost like Ross keeps talking through the credits so we see all the props, credits and such lol Just glad you 2 are back :-D Good luck (You guys rule for being so close to your fans unlike most YT'ers who put no effort into their content ((I'm talking to Jinx and all reaction channels)) and thanks for running that by him, I feel like he would have some fun with the naggy fisherman getting on his case for shooting the gulls and whatnot and hopefully he'll use the harpoon to stick a Combine lol) on the rest of the series! Sorry for the long, drawn out and somewhat aimless reply :-/
Nah man, thanks for the long comment; it's very rare that I talk with anyone who knows my involvement. Yeah I know my name's not well concealed, I'm not trying to hide anymore but I'm not trying to advertise either. I only have the one account for these past 10 years, it's the same one I use to correspond with Ross. And yes, he is a cool guy. Always willing to listen, open to suggestions, gives me time and space to do whatever I want. He pulled an all-nighter to get this one out by April, we both did _(shame, since I could've done better)_ , and he was nice enough to let me work for him in 2008 in the first place. I've no professional experience, I just love the game series. Played it a hundred times. Like you, I can quickly discern whether a sound originates from the game or not. Honestly, I think my effects stand out a little more than they should, but I'm working on it. Totally agree Lost Coast is perfect for an episode. At the end, Freeman could even slowly fizz out and teleport when the fisherman says _"You're getting fuzzy around the edges"._ I mean Ross did the Hazard Course, Uplink, alternate timelines, an alternate ending and even stuff that wasn't from the game. I'm sure he plans to do Lost Coast somewhere along the way, it's just a matter of when. And trust me, Ross would respond more here if only he wasn't swamped with emails, forum posts and more vids coming out. I'd like to be more useful, but I really don't spend much effort in replying here here since most viewers want to hear from the man himself. I love reading your guys' reaction though after each episode. Speaking of names, I know my own is really bizarre, but I quite like the sound of yours. Thanks a lot for your compliments, dude. I mean that. :)
3:36 - "You know, Time Lord or not, I think he might be a sexual predator. He had me completely paralyzed, and I swear to god, I thought he was going to french kiss me." That part alone made me laugh my ass off. Fantastic work, Ross.
Or the very fact that the human populace all knows who he is and is almost a messiah among the ranks of the resistance. I'm excited for the moment realizes that, it will be hilarious
HASEnoncorperated it doesn't suppres libido, it suppreses embrio development. People can still fuck all they want. They just can't have kids. I don't know why people keep getting it wrong in every comment section it's mentioned.
I love how the April Fools as become the double-prank, where all the awesome creators make a joke about some awesome new sequels, and it turns out legit. First SAO Abridged 35-min finale, now this. Wonder what else will come out today. April Fools is close to topping Christmas at this point.
I found it funny how this year's april fools was all about pretending you were faking something so you'd double trick the people who don't buy anything in april fools...it's like they somehow made that holiday enjoyable again!
The best place for it, I think, is the two cops that start dropping explosive barrels on him in the mini-sewer, right after that one lady tells you to go on after seeing that one railroad station taken out. Freeman would probably pop a couple shots at them.
+Amature Producer He said before he only wanted to get a certain amount of the movie done before starting Freeman's Mind 2 not the whole thing, so no, his movie doesn't need to come out first.
Man, I can't believe it's already been 5 years since this series started. And he's just gotten to Ravenholm! Still have the Coast, the longest stretch of the game, Nova Prospeckt, the city battlezone, and the Citadel left! Hope to see it fully finished on the 15 year anniversary. :P
Wait, I'm confused. This could have easily been a April Fools joke but it's out like a episode of Freemans Mind no different to any other. I'm confused.
One thing is for sure though Ross, you really fucked yourself by uploading this assuming it was a AF joke because now people know you have the ability to do more of these and they ain't gonna stop requesting it. It was smart and stupid "smupid"
Leon Price watch his video chat, he explicitly states it is real and if it wasn't for the video chat he would of left us hanging about the legitimacy of the series until the next one aired. The Aprils fools joke here was how we are reacting to this
"Shit, guess I better make the next episode..." Nah, but seriously, Ross, if this isn't an April Fools' Day joke, take your time. : ) I'll wait as long as it takes.
The reason is that Ross decided he shouldn't recognize retconned characters. He also doesn't recognize Eli. Kleiner was mentioned in the original game's manual, so he gets a pass.
@@waitithoughtihadtousemyrea5976 Hello necro poster. : ) No the reason is because Ross aka Freeman wouldn't give a damn about the guards and people low on the employee pole. But he would remember co-workers at the same level.
honestly i was hoping this would be a garbage ep so he could make up an excuse to not keep going... nope, its great. and now we have to wait for "the movie..."
The way you handled the "Pick up that can" scene amazingly shows why I love your stuff, Ross. Anyone else would've made your Gordon throw the can at his face, but you went and made something WAY funnier out of it!
Guys... this is NOT an April fools joke "Freemans mind around the world" or whatever that was... THAT was an april fools joke. This? This is legit content, it's exactly the kind of stuff we subscribed for.
i know its april fools but for the love of god i hope he makes this fucking series it would restore my faith in humanity and help me with my crippling depression
(That'sthejoke) how dare you insult my honor. I might have laid it on too thick. (i don't care what you do Ross I love you. (omg I got so many upvotes I'm sorry)
Wow there's so many little details packed into these videos, I'm still finding them to this day. Like how there's a subtle rustle of material when Barney's animations play, I never noticed that before.
Babies being born be like: **sitting in black void** "Yeah I'm feelin' pretty good right about now." **sees strange man's face out of nowhere** **immediately starts screaming**
i think he's planning to do it, but as a movie. i guess the joke is that this is only an episode, and we won't get a second anytime soon. we have to wait 'till the movie's done.
He's talked about doing it for awhile, I wouldn't be surprised if we're actually going back to business as usual. Plus I don't see why he'd rather wait until the entire series is done to upload it instead of uploading the episodes as they are finished being made.
This is now six years old. By now, Freeman has gotten to Ravenholm, and by the time we're fighting the space-crabs from Venus, Ross will have finished doing Half Life: Episode 2.
So I was cleaning up my subscriptions and noticed accursed farms, wondered if he finally had any new episodes of this up because youtube never notified me of any after this episode... ...look at the timestamp on this post. Time to binge watch!
Still in the canals. But it's okay, because Ross has more than proven his staying power. Just like with the first series, months- or years-long gaps will ultimately be simply that - gaps.
He's lowkey one of my favorite content creators. While you're waiting, Ross's Game Dungeon is another great series where you can get to know the man himself a little better. His Freeman is basically a self insert of himself but with a Ph.D in physics, but it's nice to see him out of character and he has a very interesting taste in older/obscure games. (Just in case you guys aren't onto it already)
@@somerandombub He makes the kind of jokes that Ross would make. I don't mean self-insert in the traditional fanfic-y sense. More that Freeman's Mind is essentially a "what would I say if I was in this situation" type deal.
In case no one has seen Ross's latest Q&A video, Ross has confirmed that this is indeed a thing and the joke was people debating whether it was real or not. Don't expect any updates for a while, but there will indeed be more Freeman's Mind 2.
Hey Ross. Thank you so much for making this for Half Life 2 as well. Me and my brother have been members of the forum for years. And we would always watch Freemans mind everytime a new episode came out. We would laugh so hard and quote what you said in the episodes (we watched them alot). My brother, Troy, died 2 years ago September 1st. And I just finished up Freemans Mind for like the millionth time. I rewatched it because its a memory me and him will always have together and I cant thank you enough for making my brother laugh like you did. I wish he could see this series as well. But he can't. So I will watch it for the both of us. Thank you for your videos and the laughs and the memories. Always and forever.
The problem is that's one of the moments in the series where Gordon being a silent protagonist is actually brought up, which means it's not going to make a lot of sense for him to respond. Maybe I'm just a bad writer but I'm not sure how you'd handle that without it being awkward.
+TheGreatYukon My guess is one of the following a) Ross will get someone else to dub Alyx. Wouldn't be the first time a mind series dubbed over other peoples voices in game. b) It may be interpreted as either sarcasm or a joke. I can see Eli or Kleiner mentioning how much Gordon talks offhandedly. c) After he gets his ass kicked he may be so out of it that it takes him a minute to talk outside pained groans. Meaning after her _"Not much of a talker"_ line he might respond with _"J-just give me a sec. I'm a tad woozy..."_ Personally I like theory b the most
Rewatching the series again, it's really funny how in the good ending and the regular ending (leading into this) Gordon still ends up in what is presumably Europe.

It's weirdly really heartwarming seeing that Freeman genuinely likes and respects Kleiner.
And fears.
Fear is probably the lead motivator to him respecting Doc K.
@@zigfaust he doesnt fear him, only really feared him when he thought kleiner was about to kill him during the teleport
He respects and acknowledges the more accomplished mad scientist. Freeman has potential, sure, but Kleiner has psychopathic tenure, as it were.
Dr. Kleiner was canonically one of Freeman's Mentors in MIT, so it'd make sense why he respects him.
People Gordon trusts:
Himself
Eddie
Kleiner
and hell by now eddies probably dead
eddie is alive and is also somewhere in CP episodes :)

-the joke is that it isn't a joke-
The April Fools Joke is that it's actually the continuation of Freeman's Mind in Half-Life 2 and not some prank like most of us were expecting.
sullgass He's too meta for anyone to predict.
6:14 - I love how Ross added a grunting noise as he bounced up after stepping onto a physics item. It's those small details, man.
I can't believe it's been SIX YEARS since he started on FM2.
It doesn't feel like half a decade at all.
Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?
Best part is him actually landing the shot at 7:02
Yup. Of course now I have to load up the game to try it myself.
I wish he would have shifted a wee bit to the right and hit the cop from that range too.

i really didn't think there were any more spins people could put on that scene
I know, right? What a shot
When its Ross we're talking about here, the sky's the limit on what one could do with the scene.
First thought: "Oh cool."
Second thought: "Oh, April 1st."
And then my third thought was "wow this wasn't a joke"
Protemp Its a whole episode never the less :D
Third thought 'oh shit a proper episode'
Fourth thought 'oh were probably never getting another one'
Pretty much me. I was mid "OOOOOH" when I realised it's april fools :(
I don't care if it is merely for an april fools joke. Atleast we got *SOME* new Freeman's Mind content, so thank you for that.

Huh. Just realized it's taken Ross four years to get about six chapters into this fourteen chapter game.
We're about to re-experience what it's like for a playthrough to take ten years. This is pure freeman's mind right here.
+WeNeedALadder This is going to take waaay longer than the first Freeman's Mind. At 4 years he was more than halfway through the first game.
Don’t forget about episode 1 & 2 as well…
I love how Gordon references Tripods because of course, he's a science geek he knows war of the worlds, but when he mentions "are you guys capped" it's implied his first thought is the preteen series The Tripods he probably read as a kid and isn't the intellectual he makes himself out to be

"I got my degree under the tutelage of Dr. Pepper."
That is probably the best line for this part.
Funny thing is that at my university (TU Berlin) we had a Prof Dr. Peter Pepper, he taught us the basics of Computer Science with a language he invented. So, yeah, if I were born a bit earlier - I would be able to get my degree with help of Dr. Pepper (unfortunately the guy retired, be he was cool and always humorous about students bringing him cans of Dr. Pepper drink)
Barney: i'm way behind in my beating quota
Gordon: pervert
No, the way I remember it he capitalized the "I".
This is probably going to be a joke, but the joke episodes of Freeman's Mind were some of the best ones anyway so I don't care.
Ah, I see. The April Fool's joke is that you expect the video to be an April Fool's joke, but it's actually real!
He got us all...
I thought the April Fool's joke was that he wasn't going to make a second episode (at least, not within the next year)
I heard people saying that he said he would do it, so the joke is that we think it's a joke but it's not
THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN! HE'S DOING IT!
Nice name
hi mr lenny
Nice name.
It's a strange thing to comment on, but I really like that Gordon both remembers and seems to respect Kleiner. We're so used to him being dismissive and caustic to everyone he meets, but he not only immediately recognizes Kleiner, he even trades respect and talks about how he trusts his fellow scientist's word. I know that this is a comedy series, but it's actually a really interesting side to see in Gordon's character that makes me want to know more about their relationship. Like, what would Kleiner have done to break through Gordon's egotism and actually become a genuine friend and colleague to him?
Ross could have just as easily made Gordon every bit as rude and uncaring about Kleiner as he usually is to everyone else at Black Mesa, but instead he chose a very different reaction that speaks a lot to Gordon's complexity as a character. I'm just saying, I really appreciated it.
Maxwell Garnaat Yeah, what I love about Freeman's Mind is that Freeman seems like a person only there to make no sense and crack jokes, but the character actually has a personality under all that comedy and it shines theough sometimes.
Kleiner was Gordon's mentor at MIT, so it make sense, and shows Ross has done his homework. :)
I'm pretty sure it's another take on the running gag about Kleiner being quite an interesting character himself. Like how he sometimes turns out to be a rapper (by Schrodinger's cat!), a sex maniac (with Freeman gone, his pet disappearing and Alyx being at Eli's) and a weapon of mass destruction named "The Most Annoying Sound in The World".
For curious: search for "DoctorK", "Gorgeous Freeman" (be wary of gorgeous butt) and "GMod Idiot Box".
And also his multiple Adventures in Science.
I love comments like these, as I really do see a genuine art like what Ross makes, and in the place people least expect like RUclips. For those who say its dumb to overanalyze a RUclips video, some are worth digging deep for.
No youtube i dont want to watch Freeman's mind episode 1...ive already watched the whole serie.... Freeman's mind 2......episode 1. *Squeels*
By the time he finish this series, maybe Half Life 3 will finally come out.
we said the same for Freeman's Mind (one)
how the hell did you get that quote so close it looks like there's no space in between
Someone's being a bit too optimistic.
The gag will never die!
"Boy, optimists are retards."

THANK YOU SO MUCH
I'm in my 20's now, but growing up, this was one of my favorite youtube series of all time.
Seriously, top tier, super underrated content.
I'm so happy you're making these again, especially if you're happy doing it
Obviously, when Barney gives Freeman his crowbar back the scene will be EXACTLY the same as it was in Freeman Across The Universe, right?
I have no idea...that's the great thing about April Fools day, ya know? It keeps ya guessing.
Michael Daisley I hope so, but doubt it. I imagine that given the context Freeman will be too pissed to make such a lighthearted comment.
Edit: Wow, I predicted something correctly? I gotta write this down, this never happens…
It's not, unfortunately
No
Imagine if Valve went with the original idea of having the Gman explain what you're supposed to do before putting you on that train? Would have saved this Freeman some headache trying to figure things out. XD
I imagine valve decided to not have an exposition dump so that the player can find out about the world around them themselves. Which is neat
Tbh with how freeman reacted in the first place I don’t think he would have gotten much info from that in the first place
@@RyoLeo You got to figure it out. First game you are told who you are and what you do... Also you are late for work. This one you are the right man in the wrong place. Wake up and smell the ashes.
Wait a minute...
Tripods...
Caps...
This doesn't happen to be a reference to "The Day the Tripods Came" or something like that, a book I read in 8th grade, does it?
Either that or the War of the Worlds book/movie.
***** I read the prequel book. It was pretty good.
this episode has a fuck ton of hideous references
Evan [REDACTED] I loved that book!!
Yeah, I think I read the first book in the school library around 7th or 8th grade. I never found the rest as a kid.
I have an idea, Ross. I don't know how far ahead you've planned but this could be good, like how you spliced Uplink into Freeman's Mind: so after you and Alyx teleport away from Nova Prospekt, you should teleport to the Lost Coast, cause at the end of LC you teleport away anyway so it would be pretty seamless when you teleport to Kleiner's lab. Just a thought!
You know that's actually not a bad idea. Kind of a shame there isn't a better sequence in the game for a teleporting side-episode, but then again that part does take Freeman and Alyx a week to show up at their destination in real time...
Are you the legit sound editor for Freeman's Mind? If so, I'm glad you think it's a good idea, hopefully you'll consider it :-) And yeah, the week long gap might work well into Lost Coast...sort of, it's a pretty short little episode but hey, it'd be a nice transition of sorts :-)
Nice job on the videos, bro! (IF you're the actual guy lol)
Haha, you weren't supposed to recognize me. I'm as much a fan of the series as you, and my opinion is just that; it's Ross who rightfully makes all the decisions. What I can do though, when the time comes, is mention it to him while we're working up to it, and if he hasn't already thought about it or read your comment, he'll let me know.
Thanks anyway, and remember it's still a long while away yet.
That'd be so beyond cool if you told him and if he actually did that, I'm definitely under some wishful thinking right now! lol Ross is the best, and I always notice when some sound comes in his videos that isn't in the actual game, I actually hear some new things (ambient noise, distant shouting and gunfire, etc) in the episodes every now and then and they are pretty seamless, so good on ya bro :-)
'you weren't supposed to recognize me' No offense (truly) but you aren't exactly doing a good job concealing your name haha I'm joking, of course but you may have the best name ever and it always stuck out to me. Almost like Ross keeps talking through the credits so we see all the props, credits and such lol Just glad you 2 are back :-D
Good luck (You guys rule for being so close to your fans unlike most YT'ers who put no effort into their content ((I'm talking to Jinx and all reaction channels)) and thanks for running that by him, I feel like he would have some fun with the naggy fisherman getting on his case for shooting the gulls and whatnot and hopefully he'll use the harpoon to stick a Combine lol) on the rest of the series! Sorry for the long, drawn out and somewhat aimless reply :-/
Nah man, thanks for the long comment; it's very rare that I talk with anyone who knows my involvement. Yeah I know my name's not well concealed, I'm not trying to hide anymore but I'm not trying to advertise either. I only have the one account for these past 10 years, it's the same one I use to correspond with Ross. And yes, he is a cool guy. Always willing to listen, open to suggestions, gives me time and space to do whatever I want. He pulled an all-nighter to get this one out by April, we both did _(shame, since I could've done better)_ , and he was nice enough to let me work for him in 2008 in the first place. I've no professional experience, I just love the game series. Played it a hundred times. Like you, I can quickly discern whether a sound originates from the game or not. Honestly, I think my effects stand out a little more than they should, but I'm working on it.
Totally agree Lost Coast is perfect for an episode. At the end, Freeman could even slowly fizz out and teleport when the fisherman says _"You're getting fuzzy around the edges"._ I mean Ross did the Hazard Course, Uplink, alternate timelines, an alternate ending and even stuff that wasn't from the game. I'm sure he plans to do Lost Coast somewhere along the way, it's just a matter of when. And trust me, Ross would respond more here if only he wasn't swamped with emails, forum posts and more vids coming out. I'd like to be more useful, but I really don't spend much effort in replying here here since most viewers want to hear from the man himself. I love reading your guys' reaction though after each episode. Speaking of names, I know my own is really bizarre, but I quite like the sound of yours. Thanks a lot for your compliments, dude. I mean that. :)
3:36 - "You know, Time Lord or not, I think he might be a sexual predator. He had me completely paralyzed, and I swear to god, I thought he was going to french kiss me."
That part alone made me laugh my ass off. Fantastic work, Ross.
As if he would produce anything but gold.

Lol
i wonder how he would react to Ravenholme and the fact that the vortigaunts basically worship him now
Or the very fact that the human populace all knows who he is and is almost a messiah among the ranks of the resistance. I'm excited for the moment realizes that, it will be hilarious
Or the whole libido suppresion field thing.
i think he'll like it very much :D
This Gordon is the kind of character that do want to be treated like a god lol
Regardless of whether he likes Ravenholme or not, i think Eddy will enjoy the abundance of spare body parts laying around
HASEnoncorperated it doesn't suppres libido, it suppreses embrio development. People can still fuck all they want. They just can't have kids. I don't know why people keep getting it wrong in every comment section it's mentioned.
It's happening everyone. We get FREEMANS MIND AGAIN!!! I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED
Check the upload date.
Except he confirmed he's gonna do FM 2.
the joke is that it isnt a joke at all
I didn't expect it this soon.
itshappening.gif
I love how the April Fools as become the double-prank, where all the awesome creators make a joke about some awesome new sequels, and it turns out legit. First SAO Abridged 35-min finale, now this. Wonder what else will come out today.
April Fools is close to topping Christmas at this point.
SAOA ep 11??? WHERE
Their Facebook. It got taken off RUclips asap, as usual. facebook.com/SomethingWittyEntertainment/videos/492246297566426/
There was also asdf movie 10 released today. And it turned out to be legit.
>HL3 is released today
Dave Asher SAO
"Stop....Just stop" "Your breathe smells like Paint" I was in tears at the beginning
So I'm guessing we will be expecting Freeman's Mind 3 Episode 1 in 2027.
And by then Half-Life 3 is still to be confirmed.
Dan Esp half life 3 will never come out
Dan Esp Freemans Mind 3 might be episode 1.
knowing the trend now, if it did come out it would just be called half-life
Half life 2: Episode 3 has been released........in paste bin
*sees video*
Oh, that's mean, Ross.
*plays video*
...wait where's the...where's the joke...???
The joke is... this video is not a joke
What, you thought this was a joke? Ha, gotcha!
you just got Rick and Morty Season 3'd.
I'm sad that the joke might be this is a one-time thing and not the start of a full series on HL2
Wow, depressing thought lol.
I found it funny how this year's april fools was all about pretending you were faking something so you'd double trick the people who don't buy anything in april fools...it's like they somehow made that holiday enjoyable again!
Thank you, now i have 7 more years something to watch on RUclips! YAY
noice
i hope so...
Holy shit that soda can freethrow.
I was laughing out loud because of that XDDDDD
I wanna do it myself! How did he do it?!
I did it!
@@zeveron862 I'm guessing he memorized a spot to stand, then memorized a spot to put his mouse
I was actually amazed! How far away was that? 15 meters? 20?
Mati Hooti looked like over 10 cubic yards
If this isn't a prank...I hope for a Mike/Dave cameo in a future episode.
warpedwiselegoman unless he hacks the game and puts them in I don't see it happening
Could just as easily do the voices and put them in when Gordon is passing by some anonymous CP officers.
The best place for it, I think, is the two cops that start dropping explosive barrels on him in the mini-sewer, right after that one lady tells you to go on after seeing that one railroad station taken out. Freeman would probably pop a couple shots at them.
It was such a great moment when it did happen.
Each episode of FM2 will be uploaded on April Fools Day, once a year. HL3 can learn from this.
this series will be finished when HL3 comes out
The right show in the wrong place, can make all the difference in the world.
I would actually pay for him to not make this a joke and start a new Freeman's Mind series.
I'd literally mail him 200 dollars for him to continue this series, I'm not kidding.
you can donate lol.
"Donations welcome" link is in the description.
I think he will, but his great movie needs to come out first.
+Amature Producer He said before he only wanted to get a certain amount of the movie done before starting Freeman's Mind 2 not the whole thing, so no, his movie doesn't need to come out first.
Man, I can't believe it's already been 5 years since this series started.
And he's just gotten to Ravenholm! Still have the Coast, the longest stretch of the game, Nova Prospeckt, the city battlezone, and the Citadel left! Hope to see it fully finished on the 15 year anniversary. :P
Wait, I'm confused. This could have easily been a April Fools joke but it's out like a episode of Freemans Mind no different to any other. I'm confused.
Double Aprils Fools?
One thing is for sure though Ross, you really fucked yourself by uploading this assuming it was a AF joke because now people know you have the ability to do more of these and they ain't gonna stop requesting it. It was smart and stupid "smupid"
ha
to be fair, no one stopped requesting it to begin with lol
but... he has to make that movie!
Thank you so much for making this I've been a fan of the OG Freeman's Mind for years. Maybe now Half-Life episode 3 will be made.
6:03
I just love how when Barney just smashes into Gordon Ross goes "Blah!"
"Like Max Headroom for old people"
*Catch the wave!*
I'm terrified of this being a joke.
Same dude, same.
dont't worry it was confirmed by Scott allready
+Tom Harrison Where was this confirmed? Can you give us a link?
Leon Price watch his video chat, he explicitly states it is real and if it wasn't for the video chat he would of left us hanging about the legitimacy of the series until the next one aired. The Aprils fools joke here was how we are reacting to this
lp- ALPHA HL3 confirmed!!!!
I can just imagine Ross' reaction. "HA HA, APRIL F...fools...damn, you guys really wanted this, didn't you?"
I read that in his voice too.
"Shit, guess I better make the next episode..."
Nah, but seriously, Ross, if this isn't an April Fools' Day joke, take your time. : ) I'll wait as long as it takes.
Well first, he "HAS. TO MAKE. THE MOVIE."
He said in a previous video chat that he was going to do it, so no, this isn't an April Fools joke.
Or perhaps the April Fools joke is a meta one, that by posting this video on this specific day, people would _think_ it's a joke when it really isn't.
Too bad we don't get 15 episodes of Gordon thinking this is Hawaii until he gets to Ravenholm and goes mad.
Brantley Vanhoek and starts calling it silent hill
I still love how Freeman doesn't know who barny is, but recognizes kleiner. That speaks volumes of his character in this series.
The reason is that Ross decided he shouldn't recognize retconned characters. He also doesn't recognize Eli. Kleiner was mentioned in the original game's manual, so he gets a pass.
@@waitithoughtihadtousemyrea5976 Hello necro poster. : ) No the reason is because Ross aka Freeman wouldn't give a damn about the guards and people low on the employee pole. But he would remember co-workers at the same level.
I saw the first few minutes of this episode then i paused it, and watched all of your Freeman's Mind videos in 6 days
I remember that. Good week :)
Did anyone else notice this was on April 1st...
Did anyone notice that Ross confirmed that this is happening. He said the joke was that it wasn't a joke
Please continue this and don't let it be just an April 1st joke.
I enjoyed the previous series quite a bit, I didn't even realize it was April 1st
This video has been out for two years!?!? and there's already ten episodes!?!?!? AND I NEVER GOT THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED EVEN *ONCE* UNTIL *NOW!?!?!*
Look on the bright side, you didn't have to wait for each episode.
Ross, I don't think that you know just how much we want this to be real and to continue.
Oh he knows...
Edalwulf Bergmann the pain is real.
honestly i was hoping this would be a garbage ep so he could make up an excuse to not keep going... nope, its great. and now we have to wait for "the movie..."
The joke is it isn't a joke and we can expect the next episode soon.
R-right?
Give it a year. Remember, "(HE) HAS TO DO THE MOVIE!" :P
This isn't a joke, but soon? quality like this takes months, well worth the wait.
inb4 next episode comes out April 1st 2018
It might be an April fools thing as in he will make this every April 1st?!?
The way you handled the "Pick up that can" scene amazingly shows why I love your stuff, Ross. Anyone else would've made your Gordon throw the can at his face, but you went and made something WAY funnier out of it!
I never knew there was a Freeman’s mind 2. I’m so happy. My childhood continues.
if I say "what game is this" can I get in the credits at the end of the game
stop it asshole you know this is half life 3
odds are you are already in the credits for that
hell maybe i am too
@@davidbrown160 Huh, I thought this was Artifact.
Hopefully we all are...as in everyone in this thread.
(but me.)
Anyone else hoping for a Freeman's Mind / Civil Protection crossover?
Oh my god. Like he edits the CPs standing on the pipe later in Route Kanal with their voices? That'd be cool
Or has them riding on a train going past, that'd be awesome!
Sadly, in one of the videochats, I think he claimed that he won't do such thing, neither in civil protection or freeman's mind 2
Do you know which one?
I can't remember
Guys... I also love everything that Ross does and got here because of Freeman's Mind, but...
HE HAS
TO MAKE
THE MOVIE
But freemans mind is great why not make that his primary concern
Because
HE HAS
TO MAKE
THE MOVIE
Thomas Brown because he
HAS
TO MAKE
*THE MOVIE*
Because Thomas, he wants to make the movie more than any other project and that's whats going to fulfill Ross. Let Ross do what makes him happy.
What's "the movie"?
Just came back to this video and noticed it's 4 whole years old and now I feel like time is passing me by with no comprehension of it.
Guys... this is NOT an April fools joke
"Freemans mind around the world" or whatever that was... THAT was an april fools joke.
This? This is legit content, it's exactly the kind of stuff we subscribed for.
StalkerZHS He has to make the movie.
Oh that's right!
I subbed because of Freeman's Mind, I stayed for the Game Dungeon. So... this would just be an added plus.
Same for me haha
i know its april fools but for the love of god i hope he makes this fucking series it would restore my faith in humanity and help me with my crippling depression
Would it help your osteoporosis?
The joke is that bcz it's April fools day it makes you think it's a joke
The joke is a joke. Fucking weird
He said in a video chat he'll do it because he feels like it just has to be done, but stressed that the movie comes out first.
I agree FULLY.
spooky cock no shit this is my childhood
The shitstorm backlash we will generate if this is an April Fools joke will go down in history, Ross. Tread carefully.
(omg I love this please more.)
It's just a joke. Life is disappointing.
(That'sthejoke) how dare you insult my honor.
I might have laid it on too thick.
(i don't care what you do Ross I love you. (omg I got so many upvotes I'm sorry)
AGrayPhantom Not really
please ross let us keep funding this series. we can gather millions to have freemans mind 2
Your face is just a joke, and is disappointing.
I've watched Freeman's mind all the way through, like 5 times. I was so surprised to see Freeman's mind 2! Thank you so much my life has meaning again
Hey, as a reminder, the next videochat with fans is on April 8th at 4pm EST on twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. It will be uploaded here afterward.
Accursed Farms so this is real right
Oh dude, thats for nerd freaks of the internet. But im your fan.
Thanks for the heads up Ross. Loved your content for years man.
Wow there's so many little details packed into these videos, I'm still finding them to this day.
Like how there's a subtle rustle of material when Barney's animations play, I never noticed that before.
Babies being born be like:
**sitting in black void** "Yeah I'm feelin' pretty good right about now."
**sees strange man's face out of nowhere**
**immediately starts screaming**
"ahh a tripod now things are finally making sense... more on this later"
It's a real, actual episode... so is the joke that this is the only one? Or is the joke that this isn't a joke? Fuck April 1st.
foist exactly what I'm wondering... i think its real though. well, i really hope it is lol
Reverse psychology trolling. Well played Accursed Farms, well played.
i think he's planning to do it, but as a movie. i guess the joke is that this is only an episode, and we won't get a second anytime soon. we have to wait 'till the movie's done.
the joke is that is the only episode we will have until he finishes the movie is a just a teste of heven before trowing us into the limbo again.
He's talked about doing it for awhile, I wouldn't be surprised if we're actually going back to business as usual. Plus I don't see why he'd rather wait until the entire series is done to upload it instead of uploading the episodes as they are finished being made.
Also, the joke was that everyone thought it was a joke..
aite then. where's freemans Mind 2 Episode 2 then, bitch lips?
Coming... give it some time..
so he said on his podcast thing....i take some of the things i said to you
savage inuit It's here already.. but I think everyone knows that already.
its here, shut the fuck up.
This is now six years old. By now, Freeman has gotten to Ravenholm, and by the time we're fighting the space-crabs from Venus, Ross will have finished doing Half Life: Episode 2.
So I was cleaning up my subscriptions and noticed accursed farms, wondered if he finally had any new episodes of this up because youtube never notified me of any after this episode...
...look at the timestamp on this post.
Time to binge watch!
MFW this episode Came out a year Ago and Gordon is still in the canals.
Time? Doctor Freeman?
Year later still in the canals
Still in the canals.
But it's okay, because Ross has more than proven his staying power. Just like with the first series, months- or years-long gaps will ultimately be simply that - gaps.
He's lowkey one of my favorite content creators. While you're waiting, Ross's Game Dungeon is another great series where you can get to know the man himself a little better. His Freeman is basically a self insert of himself but with a Ph.D in physics, but it's nice to see him out of character and he has a very interesting taste in older/obscure games. (Just in case you guys aren't onto it already)
@@SPOOFY_D his Freeman really isn't a self insert, to be frank.
@@somerandombub
He makes the kind of jokes that Ross would make. I don't mean self-insert in the traditional fanfic-y sense. More that Freeman's Mind is essentially a "what would I say if I was in this situation" type deal.
I’m four years late to the party. But… I NEVER KNEW YOU RELEASED A SEQUEL. This was literally my favorite thing to watch on Machinima.
In case no one has seen Ross's latest Q&A video, Ross has confirmed that this is indeed a thing and the joke was people debating whether it was real or not. Don't expect any updates for a while, but there will indeed be more Freeman's Mind 2.
The only joke here is this comment
Hey Ross. Thank you so much for making this for Half Life 2 as well. Me and my brother have been members of the forum for years. And we would always watch Freemans mind everytime a new episode came out. We would laugh so hard and quote what you said in the episodes (we watched them alot). My brother, Troy, died 2 years ago September 1st. And I just finished up Freemans Mind for like the millionth time. I rewatched it because its a memory me and him will always have together and I cant thank you enough for making my brother laugh like you did. I wish he could see this series as well. But he can't. So I will watch it for the both of us. Thank you for your videos and the laughs and the memories. Always and forever.
I didn't ask for these feels man
Can't wait to see Gordon's reaction to Alyx.
Man of few words? Not anymore.
It'll be interesting. I wonder how Gordon will play off of Alyx personality wise.
The problem is that's one of the moments in the series where Gordon being a silent protagonist is actually brought up, which means it's not going to make a lot of sense for him to respond. Maybe I'm just a bad writer but I'm not sure how you'd handle that without it being awkward.
+TheGreatYukon My guess is one of the following
a) Ross will get someone else to dub Alyx. Wouldn't be the first time a mind series dubbed over other peoples voices in game.
b) It may be interpreted as either sarcasm or a joke. I can see Eli or Kleiner mentioning how much Gordon talks offhandedly.
c) After he gets his ass kicked he may be so out of it that it takes him a minute to talk outside pained groans. Meaning after her _"Not much of a talker"_ line he might respond with _"J-just give me a sec. I'm a tad woozy..."_
Personally I like theory b the most
Or, it's his MIND
ooooh
Why can't I like this two times?
CypressStoned dont worry, i got ya fam!
I will lend my hand aswell.
cREATe A NEW YT ACCOUNT
Rewatching the series again, it's really funny how in the good ending and the regular ending (leading into this) Gordon still ends up in what is presumably Europe.
It's pretty hard to play Half Life without hearing this voice
