Even Ross himself was dumbfounded on this being uploaded by Machinima.Įventually, Ross was able to escape the grasp of Machinima and was able to quit, as Machinima threatened him with legal trouble if he did. However, on April 1, 2013, Machinima actually uploaded one of Ross' videos, Doom Guy's Mind: Episode 7, which caused confusion among the fans who actually knew what was occurring. When presented with the new contract terms, Ross denied, stating that what was said on the contract 'was too much', and that he wouldn't be able to gain any profit from his videos. Ross had a dispute with Machinima for a whole year, delaying the 45th episode, and enraging fans. They had changed their contract terms and had never contacted Ross about the change. Eventually, the staff complained about Ross recording in the conference room so he would bus in at night to record lines by himself.Īfter the release of Episode 44 of Freeman's Mind, Ross had multiple problems that all came from Machinima. He also used their conference rooms to record his lines cause they had no space for him to do it, hoping that there were no meetings. It took Ross nine weeks to get a computer to work on and he used a little notebook that he bought to play games on the bus so he could work on Freeman's Mind in the meantime since it could barely run Adobe Premiere. When Machinima offered him the job he told them he would need a computer and that his recording sessions would be loud. A notable example of an inspired Mind series' is Barney's Mind, or Shephard's Mind (Half-Life: Blue Shift, and Opposing Force, respectively).ĭuring his time with Machinima was nothing but a mess. This made other YouTubers create their own Mind videos, set in the same universe as Freeman's Mind. Civil Protection centered around two Civil Protection officers in the dystopian Half-Life world but was overshadowed by the immensely popular Freeman's Mind, in which Ross took on the role of the silent protagonist, Gordon Freeman, and his thoughts during the Black Mesa incident. Machinima had hired him, and he began creating famous series' such as Freeman's Mind or Civil Protection. Ross started creating videos in 2007, while Let's Plays were beginning to become popular. He currently uploads on YouTube, as well as, and ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. He later had a feud with Machinima and got into some financial trouble, but was able to get his career back on track after a proper meeting with Machinima. However, on May 4, 2013, Ross had a fallout with Machinima due to them changing their legal contracts, and Ross simply not wanting to accept the new contract. Prior to Freeman's Mind, Ross had created a different series, set in the Half Life universe, called Civil Protection. Ross began his YouTube career while under Machinima's wing, uploading a large amount of content. He has even worked many different "hell jobs" as he describes them. Prior to YouTube fame, Scott used to work as a security guard.
