Interesting. Thanks for that insider look.

Maybe Otto does it so well that I don't notice, but what kind of sound effects are added? From what I can tell, the only sound effects are those in the Half-Life game itself.

I wonder what goes into sound editing. I've never done it before and I don't know what's involved so I'd love to see the behind-the-scenes on that front.

Granted, but the computer can only have 640 bytes of ROM; you have to load all your programs via 8" floppies because there's no hard drive. I wish walking people at stores, malls and other similar locations would follow the rules of the road; so, if you drive on the right side the road, you hug the right side of the hall/thoroughfare so that you don't block the flow of traffic.

Time travel isn't about why, it's about why not? You ask: Why is time travel so dangerous? I say: Why not marry safe time travel if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because YOU ARE FIRED!

Banned for not providing me with a safe word.

BUT WHICH ARE YOU? Neither. I haven't watched the show so I'm not going to go one way or another. But Twilight Sparkle is banned for resting on their laurels.

You must be jealous.

I'd tell you what I thought of you, but...well....this being a family forum, I can't say it!

George Kellerman (Jack Lemmon), Out of Towners: "And you're not getting away with anything! I've got all your names and pants!" "Oh, please, please, if there's any justice, let Murray get mugged by the man who took my pants!" George: "We can still think. As long as we got our pants, we can think." Gwen: "Oh, they'll get that, too, George. You'll see."

If Real Life was like Star Trek: TNG, I'd spend all my time on the holodeck.

Banned because you have an MLP avatar, just like everyone else with MLP avatars. Because, evidently, it's hip to either love MLP or hate it. And I like to be hip.

Though, by then, Half Life 2:Episode 3 and Half Life 3 will be out.

I can't help but think it might be better if there were a transparent background....but then I think that might not look as good and I get confused. So, until I figure it out, 8/10.

Just a quick reference might be good. An off-hand comment, "Where's my towel?"

"You know what I'm Saiyan? ...get it? Because I'm on that show with the....yeah...."

Remakes of remakes. Justin Bieber as Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man Reloaded. He'll spend the entire movie naked.

"Can someone help me? I've superglued my teeth together. ...don't ask."

Your actions are not being controlled by a person sitting behind a computer, Freeman. You're just being paranoid.

I have a huge problem with that section. On my computer, when the funicular gets about 3/4 of the way down, suddenly, I would die with a "squish" sound, like I had fallen from a great height or I went into the "meat grinder" at the bottom. Whenever I go through that section (I speak that rant in my head now), I resort to getting near the middle "track" and crouching. That seems to help. I don't know why I die, while riding the platform, about 3/4 of the way down.

Thanks! I just re-upped the subtitle file. Hope it works out.

Some insane lunatic on this forum has typed up the vast majority of Freeman's Mind for subtitles (in fact, every released episode should have an associated subtitle file) and since the subtitle files are simple text files, it shouldn't be too hard to reference the files to make sure jokes aren't repeated and such.

Rewatching, I continue to find the skit where Freeman's on the funicular in episode 6 where the headcrabs are sliding down the slope hilarious: "Hey, what was that? Face huggers! Yeee! Batter up! Strike one! Strike two! Strike--AHH! It's raining men! I..I mean, aliens! Why is this taking so long?! I could fall faster than this! No! Shut up! No one cares about your opinion! You have no rights! You're all illegal immigrants! Now, do what you're told and jump in this giant meat grinder! NO! You're doing it wrong! You're all incompetent!"

Ross doesn't record these things on the fly as he's playing. He takes each episode in bits and pieces and has several takes of the lines so he can pick the best ones to match the video. Each line could have several different inflections or cadences and the best one is picked from that pool and then pasted together into a cohesive script. I think that these gaps are things he either hasn't recorded yet or hasn't picked the best take yet. At least, that's how I take it.

The references to him being on drugs are evident even in the very first episode. When, on the tram, the PA voice talks about the biohazard screenings and missing a scheduled urinalysis being grounds for termination, Gordon groans and says, "Don't remind me." He's clearly apprehensive about the screenings. So, while I don't believe he's an addict, I think he partakes in a little something something whenever he can get away with it.
