The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Freeman's Mind is a machinima series created by Ross Scott. Freeman's Mind used the Source remake of the 1998 video game Half-Life. It follows the protagonist of the game, Gordon Freeman, who acts as a combination of narrator and running commentary, often criticizing and satirizing the game world's conventions in a style similar to that in Mystery Science Theater 3000. Freeman's Mind ran from 2007 to 2014 and consisted of 71 episodes. It was hosted on Machinima until 2014. A sequel series, titled Freeman's Mind 2 set in Half-Life 2, debuted in 2017, and is still ongoing. In 2014, IGN reposted Freeman's Mind to their website. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
