Freeman’s Mind, episode 10 of a Half-Life Machinima Series by Ross Scott

Half-Life is a popular video game series from Valve. A science fiction first-person shooter, it consists of two full games, two episodic games, and three third-party made expansions, as well as a number of demos featuring exclusive content. Dr. Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist and employee of the Black Mesa Research Facility, is the main protagonist.

According to Wikipedia:

The series has been ongoing since 1998. Most games and expansions in the series were developed by Valve Corporation and published by Sierra Studios, although some expansions were produced by Gearbox Software. Electronic Arts also took over distribution of the games in the series from Sierra from 2005 onwards. The series was initially released for the PC, but console ports of most installments have also been released. All expansion packs for the original game feature playable characters other than Freeman.

Ross Scott of Accused Films has created an on-going machinima series in Half-Life called Freeman’s Mind:

Freeman’s Mind is a science-fiction comedy series that follows the thoughts of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a 27 year old physicist and protagonist of the game Half-Life. The setting starts off in Black Mesa, a government research facility in New Mexico. In the game Half-Life, Freeman is entirely silent and has no actual personality. In Freeman’s Mind, he is a highly vocal and neurotic individual with paranoid and delusional tendencies. All episodes are filmed in a first-person perspective as he gives a monologue of his thoughts. Episodes are sequential and should be watched in order to make the most sense of the series.

Episode 10: Freeman cools off and goes deep into the ventilation system trying to escape.


Release Date: 2009-03-29
Runtime: 7:31
Director’s Note: Due to errors in encoding, this episode ended up darker than it was supposed to be. I recommend turning up the brightness for the best result.
