The Director is a <s>fanfiction writer</s> pretentious douche who wants to make the next Citizen Kane or whatever (what he spouts is very stereotypical "down with The Man" tripe). The REDs don't play along.

Oh I seeeee. Can't get a million hits on Mary Suetopia with Mary-Sues though. :x

So was his story about Heavy's family true and Heavy was just trying to avoid talking about it, or was it nonsense the Director made up to make Heavy sound more sympathetic?

>>9490
I always interpreted it as being true, but that Heavy just didn't think it was relevant any more and had moved past it and onto more important things. Namely, Sascha.

Of course, I like to consider everything he says in Poker Night to be canon also, so you should take my words with more than a pinch of salt.

I figured that much to be true and Heavy wasn't talking about it because, well, he's Heavy.

>>9497
I figured at the very least, the characterization on Heavy was consistent with canon, even if what he says in Poker Night isn't. I mean, Valve did okay the dialogue.

If it is, he's the kind that doesn't openly dwell on bad things that have happened, but he does think about them. I mean, he did mention he'd killed a lot of soldiers and that got RED's attention, and seemed a little worried about being sent to a work camp in the forest. Which makes Poker Night really dark in hindsight...

Most everything TF2-related is really dark if you think about it. Didn't this comic involve our heroes committing two cold-blooded murders? It's a pretty grim shade of humor.

>>9504
Never seen/played/wateveritis Poker Night. Any reference links?

>>9505
It is. I just never really thought about it that seriously before. I'm used to death in the series being able to be shrugged off, and everyone's able to respawn...

It's a crossover game by Telltale Games where you can play No Limits Texas Hold 'Em against the RED Heavy, Max (from Sam and Max), Strong Bad (from Homestar Runner), and Tycho Brahe (from Penny Arcade). The music includes a couple of jazzy TF2 remixes and unlockable TF2 Misc. items and weapons, but the main draw is the dialogue, a lot of which can be found on YouTube. Apparently Heavy has a PhD. in Russian Literature, hates Tetris, hates vodka, listens to Huey Lewis and The News, has a fetish for redheads, feels remorse over dead animals and leaving the wives and kids of the men he kills without a husband or father, and once choked the BLU Engineer to death with his own wrench because he single-handedly killed the rest of the RED team. And Gary Schwartz reprises his role as Heavy in the game.
