Griggs Calhoun; Adrian Sheckley

A project I've been working on that replaces Griggs and Sheckley's default voice lines with ones recorded by Ian Riley (of Barney's Mind fame) and Robin Darnell (of Shephard's Mind fame). These would have been included in Freeman's (ish) Mind 2 Episode 7, but said episode (and the entire series by extension) was canceled.
Additional credits to Blue15bomber for uploading the voice lines ( • Ian's and Robin's Reco... ) and to Jared O'Brien (the creator of Freeman's (ish) Mind 2) for coming up with the idea in the first place!

thank this video for existing. it was worth it for the 'electrified toxic waste' line.

[@Legoranger-1]

How the heck did I not find this! Good job man!

[@AceOfCrowbars]

Thank you for making this possible!

[@CyanSythe]

thought this was AI at first before I read the description, then thought "dam, he should have done Otis instead of Barnery!"

[@AceOfCrowbars]

If only! But alas, there was never an opportunity for an "Otis' Mind" to occur.

[@CyanSythe]

@@AceOfCrowbars the opposing force community MIGHT be the only community that wants Otis to be a character in later games when Valve gets it together. Dude was so popular

[@AceOfCrowbars]

​@@CyanSythe Fret not, because Otis has a starring role in Black Mesa: Blue Shift! If the stars align, _The Big-Boned and the Curious_ will release, and you'll get to play as Otis. The _Field Intensity_ devs are making it, so you know it'll be good (at least aesthetic-wise).

@@AceOfCrowbars Its finally happening. YYYEYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH (thx for letting me know btw)

So, you got the voice actors to actually do this? No ai tricks or voice clipping or anything?

[@AceOfCrowbars]

Yep, it's the real deal. I don't have the patience to fudge with AI settings or meticulously clip voices for a project like this. However, _I_ did not get Ian and Robin involved with this -- that would be Jared O'Brien, who was originally going to use these lines for his now-cancelled series: Freeman's (ish) Mind 2. A few years back, Blue15bomber (you can see him in the comments) interviewed Jared and got his permission to upload the lines to the internet. All I did was just download them and showcase what they'd sound like in-game with this video.

[@noahfessenden6478]

@@AceOfCrowbars I see. Still, that's awesome man.

[@AceOfCrowbars]

@@noahfessenden6478 I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@jcdenton2187]

My dude this is great! By chance have you finished it? Can you upload it to Gamebanana?

[@AceOfCrowbars]

Trying again because KZbin glitched. You'll have to deal with the wall of text, I'm afraid. Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate it! I mostly finished the project, I just have to create the custom scene files so that the lip-syncing is fixed, and that Sheckley doesn't cut himself off. The only problem is that creating custom scenes for Half-Life 2 does not work the way it should. So I've been left with this hot mess, unfortunately. I put it on the backburner because I didn't want to waste my time working on something that would never meet my expectations. I _could_ upload it to Gamebanana, but I'm technically not the creator of this mod--that honor goes to Jared O'Brien and Blue15bomber. I just downloaded the files from an archive provided by Blue15bomber, and I exported them via the usual "Half-Life 2 --> ep2 --> custom --> [modfolder]" process. It was literally that simple a process. If I'm going to upload it, I want to make sure it's not just a ripoff of Blue15bomber's work. That means I need to create the custom scene files required for this to work. However, as I mentioned earlier, Half-Life 2 and its episodes _refuse_ to accept custom scene files, for whatever stupid reason. I could try again, on the off-chance I skipped a step, but, again, I don't want to waste my time. This project _is_ a year and a half old, after all! P.S.: Custom scenes work for Garry's Mod, though I'm even more hesitant about publishing mods for GMod because of its fanbase.
