This is my favorite machinima of all time (and the only one that I actually enjoy), but it's hard to be excited for this, given that it was uploaded on April 1st.

I'll believe it when episode 2 is out.

Very true about being sceptical. He does have his movie that he must make and working on this along with game dungeon and the monthly fan chats - its hard to see any room to produce this.

Speaking of good machinimas, have you seen Seal of Nehahra?

Series is picking up now.

Sadly, this one only felt like 4 minutes.

I like the Game Dungeon on the Deus Ex series, Secret World, and something else I can't quite remember. This series is fun and all, but I recently bought the game he's doing a gameplay of, so I'm not sure if I should watch any more episodes. I watched this, but I'm contemplating whether the video will be ruined if I play the game, and if I choose to watch the series then play the game if the game will be ruined.

I played HL2 through multiple times and HL1 too.
I recommend you finish the game first and then come back and watch this. He adds to the experience but some of the game's plot is best experienced in person for the first time.

You could watch the original Freeman's Mind without playing Half-Life 1, honestly. That's what I did. The game hasn't really aged well.

I wouldn't watch Freeman's Mind 2 if you haven't played Half-Life 2, though. It's a little bit more story-driven, and the game itself still holds up.

The coolest thing about this series is just the amount of logic that Ross puts into it. It's not always perfect, but the attention to detail he puts into Gordon's actions (and even his mannerisms) is really something else.

Most Half-Life 2 players are accustomed to shooting explosive barrels near enemies, because in the game, it's an efficient way to kill them. And it's really fun.

But in this latest episode, Gordon seems to actively avoid doing that—which may not be satisfying from a gameplay standpoint, but it's perfectly logical. In real life, if someone's pointing a gun at their head, and you have a gun too, why would you shoot at some barrels with explosives in them? You don't know how big the explosion is gonna be.

It's the added touches like that that made me fall in love with this series.

He also seems to avoid health pickups, it was weird watching through the first series and he just skips shit.

He also unequips his weapon when picking things up.

Yes, he does. In one of the monthly chats he said that he has some scripts bound. you can see where he noclips in some parts of the game. He also has the HUD up and then removes it during the demo playback.

He really ought to make these a little bit longer, maybe 15 minutes.

10 minutes feels far too short these days.
