So even though Youtube increased the vid time to 15 minutes it still won't be able to fit in one video? If not, I thought machinima had a way of uploading longer videos or something.

Very cool Ross. I wish the folks working on the Black Mesa project had something like this.

Definately. All of my saves have this near-game breaking glitch that saps all the fun out of the battles. I find that the lighting is screwed up quite a few buildings. A few scene change nodes are missing.

This is, of course, speaking "playing-wise". I have no idea what it's like filming-wise.

Is the updated HL2 still screwed up? I recall launching it a few weeks ago and it was in fullbright mode for some of the default maps.

God dammit Ross,I envy how you can use the old sdk and play HL2 2004 so much.

But I say that with <3

I concur! Although I'm sure updating this is like a separate big project itself, it is very interesting and insightful to be able to see it. Thank you for letting us get peak behind the curtains at your work. You're the man!

*Huge* Also, I like Civil Protection more, personally.

Hm, interesting. I mean, I know a lot of people prefer Freeman's Mind and it's advertised a lot and easy to get into to, but man, Civil Protection came out a near exact year before the first FM, and that's a hug contrast.

Agree! Although not to put more work on you... Wait, I don't even have money. I can't spare enough just yet.

Indeed! Number 10 is a memorable one for me, because it was kind of a pain. Well, number 2 is also pretty good if you want early ones. Anyway, I've never heard of this "Fantastic Fest" before. Thanks for the link!

I also agree. I never knew this much stuff happened in one day. It is fascinating and interesting.

You may be the second or third coming. I love this series, first comment tho, been here since I saw the Halloween CP.

Thanks for the new status system! Keep up the work!

I'm liking this picture. It is hard to tell the significance of each block though, when they're all the same size.

Wow, nice way to keep us informed. I'm glad you're not only a funny guy but a smart one as well. It's dudes like you that should have fanclubs... Oh wait you do!

Ah, progress bars. This should keep those who desperately want to know what progress has been made each day happy.

Civil Protection. There's even a trailer in the "movies" section.

yay now I know how much I should be checking back. But is "the tunnel" a freeman epi or civil protection?

Nice to get a visual update. But now I can't stop clicking refresh!

Awesome, that's really helpful. Thanks, Ross!

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I went to Youtube.com and went to both the first eps of Freeman's Mind and Civil Protection on the machinma uploads of the videos. Civil Protection boasts 615,676 views but Freeman's Mind has a count of 2,310,426 views........huh.

The turrets have lunch at work.

Turret 1: My fucking turkey is dry. Damnit!

Turret 2: Mine too. Sometimes I want to tear this whole damn place apart!

Turret 1: Did you see that android in the lunch line? Nice ass on that one.

Turret 2: Yes. I would insert my floppy into her disk drives.

Turret 1: High five!

Um... what?

hey ross you ever gonna make any series other than FM or CP? i think your type of humor would work on games like Halo, Call of Duty or Portal (although to be fair you would have to have a female voice for the latter,seeing as the protagonist is a chick. but i think there would be plenty of opportunity for arguments/yelling with/at GlADoS)

And have you considered moving Freemans Mind on through Half LIfe 2 and the episodes? i was just wondering. id be glad to help if i can in any way.

Yes. He went psycho with those two.
