Freeman's Mind took 7 years to complete, at an average rate of 10 videos per year.
Ross Scott's current output for Freeman's Mind 2 is 2 episodes per year... The playthrough is just slightly over 1/3 way through, at episode 17. Assuming another ~32 episodes, we could be waiting 16 years for Freeman's Mind 2 to complete. And that's not even accounting for the possibility of him continuing with Episode 1 & 2 and Half-Life 3 (I'm not even joking, Ross is giving Valve more than enough time to make HL3).
I like the idea of having a supply of Freeman's Mind episodes for the rest of my life, but in a way it's also terrifying.
In an alternate timeline.
Back in the day I remember playing a demo for the Desperados game, and it had the most insanely long loading time. It felt like waiting 10 minutes for it to load, but it was worth it.
But looking back, I can't help to wonder if my subjective feeling at that time was wrong by a long shot. I never timed the loading screen, and other games at that time I compared against weren't loading snails even on that old hardware.
I'd wager that I've witnessed longer loading screens from modern games than I ever did from that old demo.
Just another random person passing by.
The Alyx Vance must go this way anyway.
Gordon Freeman dies in All Dogs Go To Heaven 2.
I wasn't designed to be carried.
