That Engineer... He looks so delighted to be that turkey. I love it.

I tried to give it a chance but it's not that good to be honest. The art is rather mediocre and it reads like a bad, generic ya.oi mango/soap opera using the TF2 characters' faces. The fandom is pretty obnoxious a lot of the time too.

A long, long time ago, before I'd ever actually played TF2, I took a look at that one before eventually giving up in sheer boredom. The only noteworthy thing about it is that it's long, and the artist hasn't stopped doing it yet.

Anon here again.
thank you kindly Applecup and PerryJ for your nice words. i guess i will try out the Maintrain tonight, hoping for having fun and such.

Maybe I'm a bit of a dick for my thinking but I wholeheartedly welcome the massive influx of new players, simply because playing on alltalk servers with a bunch of new players bragging about their skills over other new players makes me feel ecstatic as I mow them all down with my ninja heavy skills and get 6-8 dominations on a team of 12. I do tend to give advice to anyone who asks for it, but for the most part I've noticed people raging at me, targeting me directly, switching to teams of almost all Snipers and Spies, and other assorted hate.

It feels good to be hated for being too good.

On the bright side, I get to help my own team of misfits to glourious victories, and last time I played even had three medics all healing me at once, earning achievements and weapons off of my minigunning. People end up switching from one team to the other just to play on my side.

It feels good to feel like I'm idolized, if only for a short time.

The moral here: If you're good at the game, you're guaranteed to make half the players unhappy and the other players happy. If you don't mind being a bit of a traitor, your team is being wiped out because the other team has some pro-skills player on it, and you're not enjoying the game, switch sides. At worst, you'll get autobalanced or someone will yell at you, but you'll be having more fun overall. A controversial opinion, I know, but it's what I used to do when I was new to the game.

What bums me out most is that I've owned the game for 2 years, but only a month or so ago got access to a computer that can run it. Then I go watch Meet the Medic; "oh TF2 is F2P now?" As I play I'm afraid that any moment someone's gonna start bitching at me about being a F2P noob while I'm really just a regular TF2 noob. So yeah, I don't care that I paid for the game, nor I care about the other new players, I just personally don't want to receive the hating that seems to be directed at free-to-players.

But so far no-one's said anything, I don't know if the servers are just full of scared noobs or people who actually don't give a shit if you're new or not. I hope it's a mix of both. But it's been really, really nice so far. :)

Am I the only one not seeing glass in his spectacle frames? I mean, I swear those are for more than decoration, but even during the video I never caught a flash of light or reflection or anything.

>>6796
Actually, one thing you can certainly say for the "Meet The' videos is the quality of the lighting (which can be a tricky and time-consuming process but you can see how it really has improved over the course of the other videos) - although to answer your question, they may have started out giving the geometry that makes up the lens a higher reflectivity to mimic glass but if you're dealing with multiple light sources the light reflecting of the lens glass may have become too distracting.
Also, with the 'Meet The' videos I'm pretty sure they're using the same models as in game just with better rigging, weights painting, facial blends shapes (and I suspect) UVs.

>>6798
The "meet the" models are in the game, you just need to use console commands to use them.
