>>344214510
I've heard of Freeman's Mind. What's that about exactly?
>>344214510
it'll be a long ass time before he works on any potential half-life series.
He has to make the movie
>>344212403

Well after the movie, what else is he gonna spend that time on? I love game dungeon but he isnt the type to just do the same type of thing every month.
>>344214682
A pre-written, semi-in character playthrough of Half Life one with the HUD off and Gordon Freeman a paranoid, arrogant sociopath.
Ross genuine put a good amount of thought into the writing, so it's full of jokes, cheats where necessary to get a joke across, and a LOT of rambling. It's hard to describe, you'd really just have to watch it.

it's really well done and definitely worth a watch

>>344215019
>>344214727
what is the movie? he always brings it up in his episodes but he's vague about it so I'm not really sure what it is or what it's about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtPnopOVF0c
>>344215276
He's making a full-length machinima movie. Original story and setting, borrowing a lot of assets from the Witcher games.
classic or HD
>>344215074
scripted let's play, arguably.
There's a few out there that are kind of similar (without it being a freeman's mind ripoff) with it being an "in-character" or narration.

I don't think anyone really cares for Half Life 3 at this point other than as a meme. It's been over 10 freaking years now after all. Whatever idea they have will be underwhelming at best.

Shut up!
I actually watched Freeman's Mind again from start to finish when I was real depressed over the past semester and was really afraid it wasn't going to be as good as I remember it
Pleasantly surprised to find there were only a few lame jokes in the whole series
>>344223587
>>344223746
>>344224005
I killed 12 dumbass scientists and not 1 of them fought back
THIS SUCKS
>>344224102
I tried watching for the first time and was put off by the fact he was playing the Source port
Yeah, i'm that autistic
>>344224102
>lame jokes
I've got the comeback to that

BABYSITTING JOB MY ASS! THIS HAS GOT "TRAINING MISSION" WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!
>>344224447
DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM PRIVATE!?
>>344214510
That's from the Puzzle Agent video, right?
I picked that up in the Steam sale for a buck and a half after watching his video (and stopping before the spoilers). It was alright.
>>344224102
It aged quite well, especially compared to other Machinimas.
Also, remeber when _'s Mind series were popping up all over the place? Shepard's and Barney's Mind were also pretty well done.
>>344224620
You don't like Wallace and Gromit?
;_;
>>344224512
TEXAS!? WELL YOU KNOW WHAT COMES FROM TEXAS, DON'T YA?
>>344224229
That's a shame, it's a really good series that did a lot of the 'subverting fps tropes' thing before it was done to death in other places, and honestly HL: Source just works better considering Ross tried to make it as realistic as possible
>>344224383
Wasn't really fond of that one April Fool's episode wherein Freeman talked like a pirate for the whole thing, and there were just some jokes that made me go 'ehhhhh' but I can't remember them well enough for it to be an issue
Honestly the whole bit with Gordon on morphine at the back half of the game made up for anything else. That whole segment was golden and a great way to explain why the fuck Freeman would walk into 'portable suns' in the first place
>>344224661
Yeah, Shepherd's mind was pretty alright too, and the fact that Ross put a shout out to it right before entering Xen was pretty great too
>>344223475
I trust Ross. He's a smart guy.
I agree with pretty much everything he said in his VR video.
Ross's content is still some of the best on YouTube, fact. I'm so glad he didn't go RoosterTeeth mode and turn into pure shit once he got popular.
>>344224748I like Wallace and Gromit.
>>344224229
It's so he can properly record the way he wants to.
>>344216361
they added the missing animations in a patch.
>>344224780

>>344224949
His robot job video was a bit out there in an crazy rambling old man sort of way, though.
>>344225235
I'D TRUST YOU TO COVER MY ASS DURING A FIREFIGHT
>>344224816
Well fug in my opinion it's the other way around
The pirate episode is one my favorite episodes of the series,
>I BE THE GREAT CAP'N FREEMAN!
And honestly I really didn't like drugged Freeman. He just seemed so boring and calm instead of yelling and being a smartass
WELL THE PILOT THOUGHT WE WERE HEADING TO YOUR MOTHER'S HOUSE
SO FAR THIS ALL LOOKS FAMILIAR
>>344225273
But he is a crazy rambling old man :^)

AS YOU CAN SEE YOU ARE NOT DEAD
>>344225538
To each his own, I suppose!
Still, I'm glad that Ross didn't just straight up stop making stuff after he finished Freeman's Mind, figured his normal content wouldn't be that great but given that I'm still watching his stuff, what, nearly two years after Freeman's Mind ending? I'd say I was dead wrong

Dear God! Poor Laszlo! The finest mind of his generation, come to such an end!
I met the voice actor for Odessa Cubbage once. He's also the VO for the tf2 sniper. Super cool guy.
>>344216003
Reminder that Janus Syndicate crashed and burned and Xanatos can't let go of the past 7 years later.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDcBj655qYI
>>344229098
He voices nearly every male citizen in hl2
>>344228834
Those aren't lab coats, they're the white button-ups that you see railroad members wearing.
>>344229098
...and every single male civ in hl2?
Anyways, that's cool. You didn't tell him to do any impressions, did you?
So is Freeman's monologue his thoughts or is he talking? I mean, he can't talk underwater for one thing, he had to stop doing his pirate voice because it started to hurt, and I think a scientist responded to something he said once. I think the concept of Freeman just never shutting up during his day is kinda funny.
>>344229205
Huh. That I did not know. It was probably better that I sperged out about odessa instead of just saying "oh man you were super great voicing every unnamed male NPC!" anyway
>>344228880
Git gud
>>344229379
I told him I liked his Odessa character and he did an impression without me asking.
>>344229395
It's a mix between the two.
>>344229549
Was it a special event, or did you remember his voice from citizens
>>344229452
>I sperged out about odessa
You're practically the only Odessa Cubbage fanatic in existence, congrats.
>>344229659
He came into my summer class at uni and did a short speech. Really out of the blue; I guess he was in town and he knew my teacher so he came in
>>344229687
He was a cool character
>>344216003
>>344228834
In the early screenshots, the ones made before release, you can see them in blue clothes of the citizens as well.
I am not sure why they were cut, but it's either because they didn't stand out well enough to be noticeable in darker environments, or they were cutting out unnecessary textures before release.
The second option is unlikely, because they had some unused assets in the game files anyway.
>>344228834
I believe the white button ups are underneath the blue jumpsuits.
Also, there's a mod to replace the zombie's clothing with the blue jumpsuit
>>344229395
I always sort of interpreted it as him constantly muttering to himself. Occasionally audible to other people, but not always.
>>344228656
He's not dead. Xanatos confirms that he's well and has a job.

She's in the game to make you feel good.
Someone who is constantly feeding you compliments can get annoying, but at the end of the the day, they're still feeding you compliments.

I can fire at a target and hit it at least half the time

It was my first encounter with full frontal nudity in a game, so it holds a special place in my heart.
>>344240691
that pictures a good way to sum it up really. it just turns alyx into a whore and adds lens flares everywhere.
Classic textures/models is the only way to go. The "HD" pack is a fucking mess and completely ruins the aesthetic and consistency.
Disable texture filtering too, for that software feel.
>>344245404
I miss software water. It was the shit. I would love to have software water ripples with OpenGL/D3D water waves.

>>344246413
Enter "gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST" in the console.
>>344245895
That's a shitty trade-off considering how terrible most of the weapons look. You could go into the valve_hd folder and delete everything except the barney.mdl files to just have the new guard model.

It looks like Half-Life 2 / Source water refraction. No joke.
Software > Hardware
>>344247374
It's too bad Spirit of HL doesn't work properly in software mode (which breaks a lot of cool graphical effects in certain mods). And Half-Life refuses to run in widescreen resolutions for me in software mode.

>>344239720
>>344240550

>>344247374
HL had hardware support from day one, surely? It was 1998. Why limit certain effects to the software renderer?
>>344247204
>ywn chill at the donut shop with civil protection
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k15NP2cW08
>>344247971
They probably thought wavy water was cooler technology than animated water textures, but technical limitations forced them to pick one over the other. I'm just making this up though.
>>344247873
>>344247971
Yeah, I wonder why Valve didn't implement the software water ripple effect on all renderers. It looks a million times better than the extremely ugly water texture warping that happens in hardware mode.
>>344248132
But the wavy water looks like shit. Even back in 98 I thought it looked like ass.
>>344213804
Based Ross and dunkey
>>344248278
It does look like ass. But the water wave technology in the engine allows for vertical waves in height axis so it probably serves more purpose for Valve and mod makers.
