Poll: Should Freeman's Mind be added to the escapist?

[dfcrackhead]

Freeman's Mind is a machinima I found on youtube and basically what it is, is a guy playing half-life and talking about what is most likely going through Gordon Freeman's head. It's really funny and I personally have used it once or twice as a walkthrough when I couldn't figure out what to do. I think it would fit right in on the Escapist, what do you think?

here is the first episode for those who want to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J80KD4BG7M&feature=PlayList&p=kznu7Gec_hU

Hhahaa! That was brilliant! I think it would need more range though to get on the escapist, like more than just Freeman & Half-life. That said, i think Unskippable do that with alot of the games they cover.

 

[sgtshock]

I think he already works for Machinima.com, so I doubt they will let it go. It's a good series, though.

 

[Flowerpot]

God no. Freeman's Mind is actually funny.

 

[hudsonzero]

its just unskippable but over a full game so it wouldn't be singed

 

[The_Prophet]

Fuck no. It's incredibly retarded. I loathe it.

 

[Danny Ocean]

I'd say yes, as I love it, but:

a) It's quite a long way through.
b) He's taken by Machinima.com.
c) Unskippable could probably do this with a little adaptation.

 

[reg42]

The first 2 minutes failed to captivate me so I'm gonna say no

 

[kickin wiing]

No, I think that Machinima does an excellent job with it. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

[Disaster Button]

Unskippable could do that no problem, it was pretty good though.

 

[No_Remainders]

It is very funny, but I don't think it should be on the Escapist.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

I'd say yes, as I love it, but:

a) It's quite a long way through.
b) He's taken by Machinima.com.
c) Unskippable could probably do this with a little adaptation.

For C, all they'd need to do really is play Half life, and then use gameplay videos instead of trailers and openings.

A few points to counter against this idea though. Unskippable is about the 'film' parts of the games, and the opening will not be reletive at all to the content. Though i guess the gameplay is unskippable. (Though i don't see why you'd want to skip it.)

 

[orangebandguy]

It's funny, probably better than Unskippable. They're a bit hit and miss in my opinion. Though I did love the FF7 one, that was really funny.

 

[wooty]

Cool, its like peep show but with games, quite like it. Though David Mitchell would be a great voice for Freeman I reckon

 

[HardRockSamurai]

It probably won't, since I think that guy already works for Machinima.com. Still, it IS funny.

Besides, we already have Unskippable

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Nope, Freeman's Mind is funny, but the guy is already with Machinima.com.

 

[lolandrew4]

Yea it's great show, but I think it'll be fine on youtube

 

[Lordmarkus]

Have followed the series for a year and sure they are quite funny but his other works are better. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5G2H8UC74s]

And as a ton of people already mentioned, he's tied to machinima.com for the moment.

 

[TimeLord]

Reminds me of Unskippable
