Ok, so I?m pretty new here so I don?t know the word on the street about this, but what do you think about Freemans Mind?

For those who don?t know, Freemans Mind is a commentary on the first instalment of Half-Life, where creator Scott Ross voices Freeman as a sarcastic sociopath trying to just get out of the events of the Black Mesa Incident.

I mean to me, it?s the one thing on the internet that has survived the march of time to maintain what is simply a high quality of humour. Compared to other shows I used to find funny, but now I only watch just because its out and it is still entertaining but not laugh out loud (I?m talking about Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, Zero Punctuation and Red versus Blue, amongst others).

I don?t know why, maybe Ross is just talented and committed enough to keep in sight what he intended to by a comedic commentary on Half-Life, or maybe it?s just because only about 5 or so eps are released every year, leaving views endlessly hungry for more, but Freemans Mind, to me at least, is a much loved series. Ross should be getting paid for this.

Also, I find the character Ross voices as Freeman almost inspirational. An unstoppable, self-confident, smart, funny sociopath intent on getting everything for nothing just because his shear self announced majesty demands it.

P.S. Alot of this is also accountiable to Ross's other series Civil Protection

I love it, and civil protection too. Although I haven't seen a new CP in a looooooooooooong time.

Love the show. Someone needs to clone Ross so he has more time and energy to create episodes faster.

Though it could be updated a little faster, I enjoy every minute of it. Really good series.

I like it, and the consistency of the humor is amazing. I've noticed that it doesn't hold up too well after repeat viewings though.

I love the series, I just wish someone was paying him to do Freeman's Mind so he had more incentive to make them a bit faster. Just a tiny bit faster.

I'm a big fan of Freeman's mind. Barney's Mind, too, though I think overall I like Shepherd's Mind the best. Ross Scott has more impressive visuals, but the voice acting and writing on Shepherd's mind, I think is superior.

My YouTube subscription feed will be in a state of constant sorrow until the newest Freeman's Mind is uploaded. 'Tis a brilliant show.

I've watched a couple of episodes, and found the show to be more annoying than entertaining. Perhaps it gets better in later episodes.

And what the hell is it with the edit box on this site. In the Opera browser, I can't drag to select text without it mucking things up.
