It appears that there is a heated debate in the Ukraine (from my research) over the two languages. Some speak Ukrainian and others speak Russian. Russian is mainly spoken for business transactions while Ukrainian is mainly spoken in governmental transactions. Some feel that the "Russianization" (if that's a word) of the Ukraine is an offense or affront. For this reason, I believe that both Ukrainian and Russian subtitles (if there's a demand for them; I don't know how many Russians versus Ukrainians watch AF stuff) should be offered. Even if 100% of the population of the Ukraine can speak Russian perfectly. If someone is willing to translate into the languages, of course. But don't look at me. I can only speak two languages: English and Bad English.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Yay! Episode 39 is out! Mr. Sign might be a liar, but Dr. Freeman is a big fat cheat.

Episode 39 uploaded. Now, for the painful wait for it to be released.........

When entering Xen, sarcastically: "I wouldn't be surprised if some giant flying fetus was waiting for me." Upon seeing Nihilanth: "CHRIST! Why do I always have to be right?!?!"

IIRC, he's sent the audio off to Otto for mixing and such but hasn't heard back yet. That's what I think Ross said a while ago. Dunno if that's changed since then, though.

The beginning of the Half-Life game is not the beginning of Gordon's employment at Black Mesa. In fact, Ross' Gordon references this by complaining that people have taken stuff out of his locker and that feeling like everything's backwards at the beginning. The casserole could reference a time outside of what happens in "Freeman's Mind". Alyx: "Get in the passenger side, Gordon." Gordon: "I'm not getting in this thing. You've got a fucking robot here that hasn't even done simple trajectory plotting. What if it throws us down the abyss? What if it smashes us into the side of the Citadel? Look at this; there aren't even any seatbelts. You might trust your life with a bucket of bolts, but I'm not. Can I find another way down? There's no other way down. All right. Taking my life into my own hands...."

He said that he didn't want to look gay, but then again, not-gay sailors also have pierced ears...as do pirates, because they're sailors. And, just prior to the pirate episode, he mentions that he "should've been a pirate".

There's only so much detail that can fit within a 100x100 avatar. I think that's what's being said.

Vortigaunt: The guardian is enraged over our theft of the extract. If it tries to hinder our progress, we will have no choice but to kill it. Gordon: You mean "me", right? Alyx: You messed with its eggs? Gordon: No-- Alyx: No wonder it's mad. Gordon: No, this bastard here did. I didn't do shit! I run my ass all over the caves, getting slammed into the walls by that thing to save YOUR life, and you have the nerve to say that *I* messed with its eggs! This bastard just sat on his ass while I did all the work! Wait, do vortigaunts even have asses?

Looking at all four, the one that stutters the least for me is the MP4. The one that stutters the most for me is the MKV. AVI is a bit worse than MP4 and WMV is a bit better than MKV. So, in order from best to worst: MP4, AVI, WMV, MKV. On my computer. I am using the VLC media player and I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium-64bit, 6GB RAM, Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz.

I doubt that we'll get to Half-Life 2, to be honest. And I'm not sure it should continue into HL2. Ross might burn out before the end of HL2 and we don't want that.

Episode 28 So, I got a response back from Ross regarding Episode 28. In Episode 28, Gordon speaks Hindi after suggesting that he's going to move to India after he gets out of the facility, and I originally just put "[speaks Hindi]" in because, well, I don't speak Hindi and I didn't know what was being said. So, Ross got back to me (THANKS!!!!!) and pointed me in the right direction and I was able to (I believe) get a Romanized version of what was being said. If you want to know what is being said, please see behind the spoiler tag: I am sending the revised version of Episode 28 out now.

I think I watched it first when episode 6 was done. When Episode 10.5 happened, I initially thought, "NOOOOO!!!" then realized what it was.

"We owe a great deal to Dr. Freeman, although trouble does tend to follow in his wake." --Dr. Kleiner

I can't figure out how to extract the textures using Crafty. I have looked online for guides but cannot figure it out. Any clue how to do it?

There are certain situations in which I play certain lines over in my head as a response. Does that count? I was waiting for an elevator a while back that was taking a long time to come to the floor I was on. And I thought in my head, "If I had a grappling hook, I could go 'whoosh' up there, then 'whoosh' up there. You don't need a physics degree to grasp the concept. But the fact that HAVE one is just insult to injury!" Also, when playing Half-Life yesterday and I got to the point where you're in the elevator behind the boxes of explosives, I did think "I have to blow everything up! It's the only way to prove I'm not crazy!" But I don't think that counts.

Me, I just finished something insane and hoped that I was able to get it done before Episode 39 came out. I have created FOURTEEN subtitle files for all the missing Freeman's Mind episodes. You can find it over at the subtitles section in the English section. A present for Mr. Scott. I hope everything turns out right here and I'm waiting for 39 with bated breath.

This is it, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages. The super ultra mega colossal stupendous über-Brobdingnagian post! In just one file, you will find all the currently-missing subtitle files for Freeman's Mind. Yes, that's right! This is insane. This is Looney Tunes crap. This came from up the chain of command. A cigar-smoking general ordered this. "Yar! Type of the rest of the subtitles for Freeman's Mind. When you're done, just upload it. It's brilliant!" And, I'm not named Jack either. So, here it is. The missing subtitles. Episodes 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, and even Episode 0, the Hazard Course one. Enjoy! And please let me know if you see any issues with these or if I'm missing something. I tried to watch them with the subtitles on but it's possible I missed something. I'mma go plotz now. kthxbye

That's the great thing about editing. You don't have to record it in order. Also, even if you're a great speaker, you'll still eventually mess up a line or two. That's what multiple takes are for. Also, you can have different inflections or whatever so "Jesus Christ...." and "JESUS CHRIST!" have two different meanings. Eventually, you'll have multiple takes of the same line and you pick the best one and edit them together to sound contiguous and you have a Freeman's Mind. Ross doesn't just sit with a mic and do everything in one take.

When recently subtitling Episode 27, I think a line from that has skyrocketed to the top 3. "Devil burn me! These stores be filled with empty boxes!" I don't know why but the way Ross says this line makes me burst out laughing every time.

Which would shine a new light on what Barney says in Half-Life 2. "Oh man! That is what I was afraid of! Get in here Gordon! Before you blow my cover!" and later, "Good job Gordon, throwing that switch and all, I can see your MIT education really pays for itself."

I've subtitled Episode 27. Mostly. I think I need some help with this one. There are a couple lines that, well, I just have no clue what is being said. The great pirate Freeman be sayin' fancy words I naught be understandin'. Arr... 18 - I deadlights captured the afore yaherra parrel-boarders. 20 - Well, blow me down foc'sle carve. 77 - I gives you me half a davy; I give you a cut of any loot we take. I have tried to research pirating and nautical terms for these things but, well, I'm at a loss. Thanks!

Freeman is too good for the likes of Eli, Kleiner and Barney. But, according to Valve, the Barney from HL2 is the one that's pounding on the security door in Inbound. Freeman says, "Looks like I'm not the only one that's late. SUCKER!" which isn't indicative of Freeman not knowing Barney but of Freeman's narcissism and egotism. Same could be said of Eli and Kleiner. They could still be his friends but he treats them like shit, so....
