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)
