I watch FM less for his bits or jokes and more for his Gordon character. I'm sure you can come up with SOMETHING in a year's time, nobody expects to see the same tired tropes out of him like with, say, Civvie in every episode. Most of the magic comes from Gordon reacting to his surrounds, occasionally a combat sequence and filling dead air with some musings or stories. It's not exactly rocket science, and the situation he's in right now is definitely ripe for material more so than, say, yet another vent or box smashing room in Black Mesa. Oh, there is cutscenes and character interactions too, which are basically a freebie.

A couple years back, I re-watched FM1 from start to finish over a long weekend and I was impressed how many jokes/observations were recycled. In fairness, FM1 lasted a long time and had long hiatuses (Machinima BS) so if you were watching in real time, you wouldn’t notice as much. That’s more of a problem for long solo levels, but whenever he’s interacting with NPCs, that’s when some new gems come out (Kleiner backstory from grad school, Gordon being an ass to Alyx/Eli Vance, Father Grigori, etc). My hope is if/when FM2 starts up again, we’ll see more of this since HL2 has way more NPCs.

The whole point of FM is that we're observing the story of Gordon as if he was a real person, so naturally he would come around and make a similar joke or observation during the course of a day. I can't really fault him for that, and really, I can't even remember a bad episode off the top of my head. Waiting for the new episode is always the worst part.

If it takes him so much time to make another episode then it's not as easy as you're describing. As you said, Civvie' repeating himself as there's only so much original yarn you can spin for 40 minutes for the 100th time.
 
Ross is rather infamous for his bizarre random spergouts. He seems to claim once a year that a world ending crisis is about to happen. He also claimed that Sinclair from SiN Episodes looked like his ex girlfriend.

Ross has expressed opinions supporting workers rights, critiques of capitalism status quo, criticism of banks, big tech, and strong favoribility of environmental policies. If I was to attempt to categorize him I would say he a blue dog Democrat with an interest in environmentalism. So your average lower middle class 90s Democrat. Given that Republicans are Democrats from ten years ago it's easy to understand why the zoomers itt would get confused and think he is conservative

You left out that immediately after saying she looked like his ex, he says “from the neck up anyway” or something like that, which is part of the joke…

Baldies episode. He was actually talking in depth about going bald, and what would you do. And how skullets sometimes look like shit, but lenin had a decent look despite going bald


I don't intepret that as endorsing lenin. I mean hell, stalin also had a pretty good looking mustache, that doesn't mean I suddenly LIKE his politics.

But I've never bought the "we are against x so we cannot admit x has a single positive traits" retardation.

Nah, Ross was pretty confident in a livestream around the time when the last episode came out that he still had plenty more material for FM. And there's been a pretty major uptick in quality once he got to Ravenholm, like he suddenly found his mojo with FM again.

It means that his crusade against Games as a Service is taking most of his headspace, which is why FM2 is going so slow.

Not like he's a looker himself and autistic NEET girls can harbour qualities you will never find in normal women IYKWIM :tomgirl:

Yeah I get that but it seems like he’s kind of accepting the inevitable where GaaS is concerned so hoping he goes back to the good stuff soon.

Ross looks fine considering he’s almost 40, he legit could pull some bad bitches. Also not to powerlevel too hard but I tried an autistic shy NEET girl once.

NEVER AGAIN. Seriously if any of you dudes out there are thinking they make good gfs, think again mfer.

Give it some time, thought it could break him and he'll never be the same again.

Ross looks like you'd expect from a 40-something man but he's neither a career man nor any kind of professional. He makes youtube videos and sometimes interviews someone. Certainly not the line of work that'd impress any woman looking for a settled man in his 40s. If he was in his early 20s and still had hair, then yes.

The trick is to be as insane as them. I understand it's not for everybody.

Glad it's over, just a depressing amount of effort and time on a completely sisyphean effort. At least the black mold arc was funny in its absurdity.

Hopefully Ross didn't burn too much money on this, though having Game Dungeon and, god forbid, Freeman's Mind would be pretty great.
