Line 7:
''Freeman's Mind'' is a [[Machinima]] by Ross Scott that's somewhere between a [[Let's Play]] and an [[Abridged Series]] of the original ''[[Half Life]]''. The series follows the rambling, eccentric and narcissistic thoughts of [[Silent Protagonist]] Gordon Freeman as he tries to survive the events of the game, showing us that perhaps it was for the better he kept his mouth shut. Imagine a one man ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' speaking as he goes through ''Half Life''.
Check it out [http://www.accursedfarms.com/movies/fm/ here].
The series, currently at 43 episodes (41, plus two numbered "0" and "10.5"), totals about 5 hours and 13 minutes as of episode 39, but each episode runs about 7 and a half minutes on average and each episode ends at a point that you can stop watching and come back later. For people who have already played through ''[[Half Life]]'', {{spoiler|this series is past when Gordon is captured and left in the compactor - the last episode, 41, had Gordon managing to escape the bio labs.}} [[Examples Are Not Recent]], but the most recent ''as of this writing'' was released on May 4, 2012.

**** Of course, this might explain why the rebels call him 'The One Free Man' in Half-Life 2...
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Gordon has frequent encounters with laser beams. Sometimes they're straight-up deadly, other times they activate something else that's deadly, like trip-mines and sentry turrets. More recently he thought about redirecting an exceptionally powerful one and try to shoot down satellites.
* [[Gang Up on the Human]]: "You know, it's a little disturbing how little I've seen aliens fight the soldiers and soldiers fight the aliens."
* [[General Failure]] / [[General Ripper]]: Freeman theorizes whoever is in charge of the Black Mesa cleanup is this.
{{quote|We must hire over a thousand people, you can't hunt down every single-- ''(gets attacked by a zombie and kills it)'' and aliens. We've got aliens popping out of nowhere. What are they going to do? Shoot everyone in New Mexico?}}
Line 330:
* [[Tracking Device]]: In episode 33, Gordon is understandably upset when he learns his suit is full of these, which is how the HECU has been tracking him.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Doritos. Spends several episodes musing about them, and when he gets them in episodes 10-11, he thinks there's something wrong with them, despite having "enough preservatives in them to mummify a small dog."
** In later episodes, he spends considerable time talking about pizza, and unusual ways of delivering it (via trams, amphibious deliveries to beaches, etc.). Unsurprisingly, this begins to happen not long after Freeman mentions that he's pretty hungry, and generally coincides with his surroundings - being near trams, water, etc.
* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Gordon's "apprehension" at the end of episode 34 consisted of at least one blow to the head. In episode 35, he can't remember the events of the previous day or so, including the resonance cascade scenario. It's not until halfway through episode 37, after he faces a bullsquid, that he really starts to remember all of what had happened.}}
** But for some reason {{spoiler|he has false memories of it being caused by a Lovecraftian cult.}}
