Freeman's Mind

Freeman's Mind is a machinima series created by Ross Scott using the Source remake of the 1998 video game Half-Life.

[2] It follows the protagonist of the game, Gordon Freeman, also voiced by Scott, 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.

[4] A sequel series, titled Freeman's Mind 2 set in Half-Life 2, debuted in 2017,[1] and is ongoing with 19 episodes being released as of February 2025.

Ross Scott describes Gordon's personality as having "shifting paranoia, egomania, mild schizophrenia, over-aggressiveness, petty motivations, and immaturity in general", and that "the only hint I thought they gave to his personality was how proficient he immediately was in weaponry for being a physicist.

"[2] Emily Rose, writing for Ars Technica, used "neurotic panicked narcissist" to describe the character; this is a depiction she noticed in a similar series—Half-Life VR but the AI Is Self-Aware.
