Kills thousands of aliens, soilders, tanks helicopters, Osprey's, monsters 10 times his size, and cockroaches. Escaped from traps, locked rooms, radiation, vent mazes, and biological weapons. Almost has been drowned, and has been knocked out, AND has almost been killed like 3 times. AND is armed with a shotgun, crowbar, machine gun, grenades, and an rpg. Gets scared and stops because of a dead scientist.
What about the Gluon Cannon? Ross has gotta pick that up, I can see it now. Make some joke about Ghostbusters, or something. Damn, that could be next episode. Can't wait...
Its funny when he mentions Chernobyl(sp?) because the more hilarious ways to accidentally die in Any S.T.A.L.K.E.R game is to accidentally hug a piece of metal and be bathed in radiation for it.
I love the way he reacts after getting off the elevator. "FUCKING SHIT" is the appropriate response when it comes to seeing a guy face-down in a pool of radioactive acid. XD
3:11 "This is why I'm such a good theoretical physicist: I solve problems that shouldn't even exist to begin with." YAY , finally! A quote I'm smart enough to understand! That was hilarious XD
Getting rather close to the end, hopefully this will carry on to Half-life 2. I'd love to see what he says about that combine that tells you to pick up the can.
He criticized how the alien invasion was poorly planned, I want his reaction when he meets the combine xD THAT AND his reaction to Gman at the end! Hooooooooly craaap.
Yeah, he would be forced to shut up for minutes of cutscene talking. I don't think Ross Freeman could handle that... :P But if you want HL2-humor: Check out the "Gordon Frohman" webcomic.
Agamemnon Well, if you've played though halflife 1, AND 2, the true fans of the series and Half-Life will know the ropes by then. Plus, if you haven't played though halflife 2, why would they even bother? It would just be spoilers.
Aeterna Solus Chaeo (-_-) Nah . . . it was more like I made that comment at about 3:00am in the morning. So Yeh I probabley had the mentality of a "twelvie" at the time. #GrammaNazi :-P
Aeterna Solus Chaeo Why did I imagine a forty year old gangster with a cigar yelling "HA! STEP UP YOUR SHIT MILLENIALS!!" sounding like Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls?
***** Alyx: Ok D0G, let's play fetch with Gordon. Gordon: Hey, do I look like a softball to you!? Alyx: You'll need to use the gravity gun Gordon: Oh.. I'm pretty sure it'll be better.
Hypnotic Suggestion with a .50 cal turret and a tank? Well, I guess it sure gives a lot more motivation to play along than watching a golden watch swinging back and forth... Although something shiny is always nice to look at...
Which is funny because he actually skipped some of the levels. He used the No Clip cheat code to "jump" through some sections. He basically skipped large chunks of the "On a rail" level and "Surface Tension" and a few others.
You know, I wasn't sure how much he was cheating. Obviously he was using God Mode because dying benefits nobody, but the way he moved around obviously intended gameplay segments really had me praising Half-Life for its open-endedness in linearity, and also surprised because I wouldn't think ledge-climbing was a feature. I've caught some of those sneaky edits, though.
It's easy, he just acts like Gordon Freeman probably would. Why would he go through all the effort of clearing entire warehouses if he could just climb a fence and be done with it?
linkyswordsboy That would be great if he has plans for Half-life 2. I mean, he's like a little over halfway done right now i think, Xen is still a little ways away.
I'm 5 years late to this comment, I've watched this so many times and I hadn't noticed until today, and you're the only one who commented on it afaik. Yes, yes you did, as well as I!
I'm so glad another episode came out. I had thought you gave up on the series at some point. I guess it just takes awhile for each video. When you finish this. It will be the greatest achievement on youtube.
I hope this series will become a long journey trough the years while waiting for Half Life 3. This series has lasted a few years already and the end is not even that close yet. Please keep this up for the following few years, and the years after those. Just imagine the playlist of videos ten or fifteen years from now, when our beloved Freeman has ventured trough all the Half Life games. Think about the marathon weekend when all the episodes are complete. Keep ´em coming!
Yep. It's not like they showed up themselves to conquer the earth. They were kickin' it back at their homeworld, sippin' alien martinis, While they sent another alien race they had already conquered to come conquer us for them. Although I'm not entirely sure how exactly the race X, the Xen wildlife and some other aliens fall into that.
ZethGamer The Xen were actually another invasion force, they were against the Combine, think of them like rebels. But they wanted our planet for themselves.
***** yeah, but it was the combine who were intelligent, heavily armed, and tactical that captured earth in 7 hours, not the xen who were just making a mad dash for earth and getting their asses handed to them by freeman, barney, and that 1 soldier guy.
i think the highlight of this is the "oh nice" when he sees the grenade, like it feels like ross was genuinely happy to see more and not just a character
MrMonkeytastic200 I'm so happy. I havent watched this in years and I just found it on my recommended videos box. Good to see he's still pumping out content
3 Dollars and 50 Cents The videos do take a little while to create, Ross has had multiple things thrown in his direction each one hes overcome with time. love the series and should be way more popular IMO
4:31 It's fitting how he mentions Chernobyl, since there is a Gordon Freeman easter egg in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. There's a dead stalker in an underground parking lot with a bunch of electro anomalies named Freeman. On him (or was it near him) is a unique desert eagle named Big Ben, which is probably a reference to Gaben. "Freeman" even has some text logs on him, mentioning Mesa, and trading his crowbar for a can of meat. I like to think that the alternate ending from Freeman's Mind ep 61.5 where he drives away eventually leads to his appearance in The Zone.
"Using the power of hypnotic suggestion and a tank, I was able to convince these people that they were dead!"best quote ever.
"This is why I'm such a good theoretical physicist. I solve problems that shouldn't exist to begin with."
Quote of the entire Half-Life series.
Story of my life
My favorite line of the series.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE HAPPY BALL! NOW NO ONE'S HAPPY!"
Oh God I think I hurt something laughing
Your sides had a resonance cascade.
OH SHI-

I can't wait to see Freemans reaction to three things:
1. The Xen World
2. Gonarch
3. Nihilanth
Priceless moments!
How about 4. The G-Man?
i want him to shoot the skybox while in Xen and wonder my he can hit space and have a bullet hole and metallic sound emit.
dlausactor6373 meh gman what about after gman?
dlausactor6373
I feel like he's going to try to give the G-Man a piece of his mind.
What about the Gluon Cannon? Ross has gotta pick that up, I can see it now. Make some joke about Ghostbusters, or something.
Damn, that could be next episode. Can't wait...
Ever since we all saw our first episode, I think we ALL developed a Freeman sense.
And they all simultaneously tingle when there's a new episode.
-Boring lecture in school-
TINGlE TINGLE
me:NEW FREEMANS MIND EPISODE!
If he hates radiation this much, he'll just LOVE the waterways and sewers of City 17...
I think Freeman's so nuts right now that he's forgetting that the HEV suit prevents radiation poisoning. He knew that way back in episode 15.
machiner6 But he does not have a helmet so he can still get throat and/or brain cancer.
Yeah, he mentioned that bit as well.
That he does Yoxiv
heh, he sure does.
I really need the name of that documentary.
It sounds so horrendously awesome.
We will wait for eons, if we have to
I was about to post the same question
Look at that. Through the power of hypnotic suggestion and a Tank, I was able to convince all those people they were dead.
Its funny when he mentions Chernobyl(sp?)
because the more hilarious ways to accidentally die in Any S.T.A.L.K.E.R game is to accidentally hug a piece of metal and be bathed in radiation for it.
There will be hugging of an active nuclear reactor... that is a highlight I am looking forward to.
...How do you hug a piece of radioactive metal in that game, by the way?
I love the way he reacts after getting off the elevator. "FUCKING SHIT" is the appropriate response when it comes to seeing a guy face-down in a pool of radioactive acid. XD
I was surprised Freeman wasn't relieved to see the "Lambda Core" sign.
He dasn't care
3:11 "This is why I'm such a good theoretical physicist: I solve problems that shouldn't even exist to begin with."
YAY , finally! A quote I'm smart enough to understand! That was hilarious XD
Getting rather close to the end, hopefully this will carry on to Half-life 2. I'd love to see what he says about that combine that tells you to pick up the can.
He criticized how the alien invasion was poorly planned, I want his reaction when he meets the combine xD THAT AND his reaction to Gman at the end! Hooooooooly craaap.
Half-Life 2 would be a completely different thing to do, with all the long dialogues, actual storyline and all.
Yeah, he would be forced to shut up for minutes of cutscene talking. I don't think Ross Freeman could handle that... :P But if you want HL2-humor: Check out the "Gordon Frohman" webcomic.
Agamemnon He'll figure out to do something :P
Agamemnon Well, if you've played though halflife 1, AND 2, the true fans of the series and Half-Life will know the ropes by then. Plus, if you haven't played though halflife 2, why would they even bother? It would just be spoilers.
"See? This is why I am such a good theoretical physicist! I solve problems that shouldn't even exist to begin with."
🤣 1:00 "YOU KNOW WHAT THE #1 REGRET OF DYING PEOPLE IS?! IT'S 'I REGRET PLAYING NEAR ALL THAT RADIOACTIVE WASTE BECAUSE NOW I'M FUCKING DYING!!'"
"Through the power of hipnotic sujestion and a tank, I was able to convince these people that they were dead!"
Hypnotic*
Suggestion*
Step up your shit, twelvie.
Aeterna Solus Chaeo (-_-) Nah . . . it was more like I made that comment at about 3:00am in the morning. So Yeh I probabley had the mentality of a "twelvie" at the time. #GrammaNazi :-P
Aeterna Solus Chaeo Don't be rude. You could have corrected his mistakes without acting like this.
man this was a while ago
Aeterna Solus Chaeo Why did I imagine a forty year old gangster with a cigar yelling "HA! STEP UP YOUR SHIT MILLENIALS!!" sounding like Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls?
with how expensive a snap-on tool chest that big would be? it damn well better be .50cal resistant.
I want the Mac Tools version instead. It's slightly more expensive but is fully guaranteed against IED explosions.
Oh god please do a Freeman's Mind for Half Life 2 when this is done. That would be amazing.
Ha! "When this is done." That's adorable.
He should!
SteelerFan716 It is currently finished.
SteelerFan716
10 months later. "IN YO FACE!"
*****
Alyx: Ok D0G, let's play fetch with Gordon.
Gordon: Hey, do I look like a softball to you!?
Alyx: You'll need to use the gravity gun
Gordon: Oh..
I'm pretty sure it'll be better.
Man I love this series so much.
I just remembered today Freeman's Mind existed and wondered if it was still going on, and I'm so happy right now.
Hypnotic Suggestion with a .50 cal turret and a tank?
Well, I guess it sure gives a lot more motivation to play along than watching a golden watch swinging back and forth...
Although something shiny is always nice to look at...
iSoprophyl70 Bullets are shiny.
Woohoo! More Freeman's Mind. Excellent. :)
"Invading aliens that are just..... kind of stupid", you mean Battlefield Earth?
OH GOD WHY
"maybe we could shoot straight if everything wasn't at an angle"
I can't believe you posted right as I was thinking about Freeman's Mind
I know, me too. Granted, I check Ross' channel usually multiple times a day...
Maybe he's in your mind now...
Worlds longest "playthrough" of Half Life
Not just length, but also in time completion.
Which is funny because he actually skipped some of the levels. He used the No Clip cheat code to "jump" through some sections. He basically skipped large chunks of the "On a rail" level and "Surface Tension" and a few others.
Shakduhn
He doesn't want us to watch him:
a) Die Repeatedly
b) Watch Monotonous Parts
c) Etc.
You know, I wasn't sure how much he was cheating. Obviously he was using God Mode because dying benefits nobody, but the way he moved around obviously intended gameplay segments really had me praising Half-Life for its open-endedness in linearity, and also surprised because I wouldn't think ledge-climbing was a feature.
I've caught some of those sneaky edits, though.
It's easy, he just acts like Gordon Freeman probably would.
Why would he go through all the effort of clearing entire warehouses if he could just climb a fence and be done with it?
*sees dead scientist and tons of blood*
"Now what is THIS?"
The was he said that was hilarious xD
"Do i really want to go that way?" "No, no i don't."
Every word that Freeman says is hilarious, he could say hi to me and I'd be rolling on the sidewalk in 3 seconds
YES!!! WooHoo! I've been waiting for this for ages!!!
The fact that this series is still going warms my cold heart. I think I've watched the archives too many times to count
Fantastic work, Ross. I'm really glad you're sticking with it.
I wish I could "thumbs up" this unlimited times
I love how he makes fun of game logic without breaking the narrative
I cry of happiness when these come out
i wonder what will be finished first, half life 3 or freeman's mind...
Definitely Freeman's Mind, unless he goes into Half-life 2 with it. Then it's debatable.
linkyswordsboy If this ever truly finishes, I will weep manly tears over my spilled Vicodin bottle in honor of Mr. Freeman
linkyswordsboy That would be great if he has plans for Half-life 2. I mean, he's like a little over halfway done right now i think, Xen is still a little ways away.
Wen will he go to Zen?
Update: Gabe has clearly admitted defeat.
Been watching these for a long time. Great to know you haven't stopped. Keep it up!.
It bugs me so much to see Machinima still hosting Freeman's Mind.....
Well, they're dead now, and good riddance.
Another great episode Ross! Screw the people complaining about how long it is!!
Awesome video man,
Keep up the good work!
I like how Freeman keeps calling back to things that happened before he was knocked out to show he is remembering things again
Did I jut hear Miller's line of "They played us like a goddamn fiddle?"
I'm 5 years late to this comment, I've watched this so many times and I hadn't noticed until today, and you're the only one who commented on it afaik.
Yes, yes you did, as well as I!
How did I not see this in my subscriptions? Ah oh well. Great work once again Ross.
Freeman accidentally describes theoretical physicists perfectly @3:19
Thank you SO much for creating this, one of the best parts of my week!
1:42 I wouldn't be surprised, some of their tool boxes have TV's and radios.
Only a month wait for this, I'm very happy to know that he's making greatness again
I would buy a shirt that says "Follow the sound of my 50 caliber" with a picture of the turret gun from Half-Life 1
Follow the happy ball!
Another great episode! I always look forward to these episodes. :)
This video came out on my birthday :D
Best present ever
Very nice birthday present from you Ross :) thanks very much for this episode
This is one of the few youtube series I actually keep up with, this is hilarious
I'm so glad another episode came out. I had thought you gave up on the series at some point. I guess it just takes awhile for each video. When you finish this. It will be the greatest achievement on youtube.
5:45 Oh Doctor Freeman, if only you knew what the rest of the world will be dealing with.
Such a good episode, great work ross! =D Fell off my chair laughing at the line about dropping stray dogs and badgers into the war zone XD
for the prices snap-on charges, it BETTER be tank proof!
Yay Freeman's Mind!
so happy he made this new channel
A great video once again! Keep them up Ross!
Can't wait for the next one ^_^
Hilarious episode! Can't wait for more Ross!
Thanks Ross keep up the good work
I hope this series will become a long journey trough the years while waiting for Half Life 3. This series has lasted a few years already and the end is not even that close yet. Please keep this up for the following few years, and the years after those. Just imagine the playlist of videos ten or fifteen years from now, when our beloved Freeman has ventured trough all the Half Life games. Think about the marathon weekend when all the episodes are complete.
Keep ´em coming!
Another awesome episode keep em comin Ross
"I sensed a disturbance in the Freeman, it was almost as though a million fans cried out in joy as a new episode was uploaded."
This is a rather poorly planned in invasion when you think about it...though I guess the Combine got it right :P
Yep. It's not like they showed up themselves to conquer the earth. They were kickin' it back at their homeworld, sippin' alien martinis, While they sent another alien race they had already conquered to come conquer us for them. Although I'm not entirely sure how exactly the race X, the Xen wildlife and some other aliens fall into that.
ZethGamer The Xen were actually another invasion force, they were against the Combine, think of them like rebels. But they wanted our planet for themselves.
Erik Boydston Yeah I did some research on the matter actually.
***** yeah, but it was the combine who were intelligent, heavily armed, and tactical that captured earth in 7 hours, not the xen who were just making a mad dash for earth and getting their asses handed to them by freeman, barney, and that 1 soldier guy.
oh, my bad. its been a while since i watched those
Best series ever.
0:14 revenge of the elevators
i think the highlight of this is the "oh nice" when he sees the grenade, like it feels like ross was genuinely happy to see more and not just a character
"Look out!" And shoots a guy in the face..
4:33 is that a real documentary?
"FOLLOW THE SOUND OF MY .50 CALIBER!" XD
"FOLLOW THE HAPPY BALL"
WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK. I AM DYING
This series is STILL going?
of course! not on the devils machinima channel now!
MrMonkeytastic200 I'm so happy. I havent watched this in years and I just found it on my recommended videos box. Good to see he's still pumping out content
3 Dollars and 50 Cents The videos do take a little while to create, Ross has had multiple things thrown in his direction each one hes overcome with time. love the series and should be way more popular IMO
This literally is my favourite series.
Yep! And it still is in 2017
4:31 It's fitting how he mentions Chernobyl, since there is a Gordon Freeman easter egg in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. There's a dead stalker in an underground parking lot with a bunch of electro anomalies named Freeman. On him (or was it near him) is a unique desert eagle named Big Ben, which is probably a reference to Gaben. "Freeman" even has some text logs on him, mentioning Mesa, and trading his crowbar for a can of meat. I like to think that the alternate ending from Freeman's Mind ep 61.5 where he drives away eventually leads to his appearance in The Zone.
2:06 I'll never look at using grenades again.
The day this gets HD it'll be awesome.
Well, this didn't appear in my sub box
If you go to his channel
He says youtube decided to jizz everywere because (I forgot who accursed farms real name is) is so awesome
*****
Ross Scott.
Me niether...
*Is nobody going to say that on the 22nd, this'll turn a decade old?!!*
Thanks for the awesome B-day gift Ross. :D
This is the best thing on youtube
Great video Ross!
Sucks this didn't post to my feed! D': Hooray for videos!
4:47 pause. How did he miss that Truck having no Steering wheel?
FUCK YEAH!!!!! MORE BITCH!!! MORE!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
"follow the sound of my 50. caliber"
Priceless shit Ross, priceless shit indeed
If he does get around to doing hl2 I'd love to see Freeman's reaction to striders
Three legged mites with giant dicks that shoot lasers
Hahaha
+*TheDollaDan*
I predict him either saying "Oh, so I guess we were invaded by the Martians from War of the Worlds."
or "AHHHH! AHHHH! AHHH! AHHHH!"
***** I think he'll piss his pants when he sees d0g for the first time.
I think when he sees the Vortigaunt sweeping he'd yell "LOOK OUT" and run past everyone
Honestly the moments where Gordon shows fear are my favorite for his characterization.
This is the only channel where the comments section is actually readable and funny
just goes to show how great snap on products are
FUCKYEA KEEP EM COMING
"I solve problems that shouldn't exist" best line ever
Love it! Keep up the great work, Ross!! Love all of your videos! What's the next game dungeon?
Great stuff!
I wonder what documentary Gordon was referencing ???
Getting closer and closer to the end
I stopped watching back in 2010... I thought today "I wonder if he ever kept doing this?" It's been on for over 6 years now and it's still amazing.
Please make more and faster!!! It's ridiculed how far apart the episodes are
Just wanted to leave the comment that it's not an alien invasion, it's a resonance cascade scenario! The teleporting is really supposed to be random.
ALIVE AND KICKING Ross I salute you.
"follow the happy ball" is one of the funniest quotes from this series
