Brb.u: Video of Supreme Awesomeness

[KarthXLR]

I was thinking... we can make some mini-series with team fortress 2.

Here's a good example: Rooser Teeth do that kind of videos, such as Red versus Blue made with Halo (1,2 then 3).

And since we are the most awesome people, and that Team Fortress 2 is obviously more awesome than Halo (halo sucks sorry, geoff, fuckduck) well... AWESOMENESS

Let's stick to the video for now. I see a future in that though.

But we have to have some pretty good material though. And vehicles made it a bit more funny. (After all, Halo's vehicles are better than TF2's. sorry, benito)

What vehicles?

[KarthXLR]

We need to have some sort of melee footage from a really tall level. And just have bodies raining down from the sky.

Anyone up for mapping it? We could have that one song that plays when you beat a peggle level to go with it.

I was mowing the grass today, and had an idea.

Power Rangers theme with ubers.

Also just now, some sort of Bioshock reference y/n.

Power rangers would be awesome if you could have all 6 colors for ubers, red, blue, pink, black, yellow, and green (lol no white ranger)

Would you kindly...

OMG SPOILARS >:C. I haven't gotten that far in the game, tho I know about it (lol Wiki). I started Fort Frolic and took the first photo, that's about as far as I am.

Posted here so Joel sees it.  You don't have to read it if you want to be surprised by end product, especially because it's over tl;dr length.



Set:  Granary
Characters: 
Snake: BLU Scout
Enemy: RED Heavy
Col. : BLU Engineer

Concept:
We're going to have to shoot this as if this was a Metal Gear game.  Each section of the map will need its own "camera work".  As he goes from section to section, the camera will have to focus on him but stay high and "foreshortened", like 3/4's view, whatever, you know what I mean. 


Camera is on thirdperson Snake.  He will run through Point 2.  When he turns, the turns should be quick, as if someone was playing this with analog sticks.  He'll exit the left door and when he does he'll get a -[CALL]-.  He'll step near the propane tank near there and crouch.

[CODEC TRANSMISSION]
Col.: COWBOY UP!
Snake: Uh, no!
Col.: Daggit naggit nabbit daggit!  Gotta move that gear up!
Snake: That frickin' Heavy's a //// SENTRY!
Col.: Aw, you yellow-bellied gutless coward!
Snake: (raspberry) This sucks on ice.
Col.: Git goin'!
[END TRANSMISSION]

Snake will stand up.  Then he'll crouch again without moving.

[CODEC TRANSMISSION]
Medic: You are TRYING my PATIEnCE!  (medic jeers 6)
Snake: Uh, a little help?
Medic: Is there a point to your lives?!
SAVE / NO SAVE
Snake: Thanks, pally!
Medic: My skills are WASTED on this team!
[END TRANSMISSION]

Snake will stand up.  He will make his way to the right-side Point 3 entrance.  He will stop.

[CUTSCENE]
Dramatic camera angle of a Heavy standing on the far catwalk.  He is holding a sandvich.  Pan the camera up from ground level, or crane-shot it at least, whatever.

Heavy: (before camera hits his face) What was that, sandvich?  Kill them all?  GOOD IDEA!  AHHAHAHAH!!
(sandwich taunt 10)
subtitling:  HEAVY, played by whoever.
Heavy: (eats sandvich)
Heavy: (hauls out minigun, camera over his shoulder looking to far side of arena) Balogna is perfect fuel for killing tiny cowards!  (camera focuses on minigun, it spins up)  (cut to his face)  RUN, cOWARDS!  (Heavy leaps off)
[END CUTSCENE]

[BOSS FIGHT START]
(camera back on third-person Snake)

Okay, this is going to be tricky, but I have some keybinds and an idea on how to do the camera work.  Snake can go into first-person for aiming shots.  Here are my two keybinds.

bind j "thirdperson_mayamode 0; firstperson"
bind k "thirdperson 1; thirdperson_mayamode 1"

"J" will let us do first-person aiming. 
"K" is a special key.  Pressing it once will put the camera on Snake's shoulders and follow where he looks.
Pushing "K" again will freeze the camera onto the last angle where Snake is looking, and now, if Snake runs and turns, the camera will stay frozen in a relative position and not "pan", but just "follow", giving us the classic MGS cam.

We need to just freeform the first part of the fight.  Heavy should stay on his end of the map, and Snake should stay on his, kind of like the Raiden vs. Fortune fight in MGS2.  Snake should take potshots from behind crates.  Heavy should fire minigun and likely miss Snake as he ducks back behind cover.  Snake should score a few hits on Heavy without killing him. 

When Snake scores enough hits, fight should change.

Heavy:  Ohh!  Too many little men--!!  (cut off the "on this team!)
Heavy:  You are so small!  It's funny to me!

Now, Snake and Heavy should start running all around the arena.  If Snake ever accidentally runs into Heavy (complete with "!" REHHH! sfx), Heavy should immediately switch to KGB and deck him ONCE and then IMMEDIATELY switch to shotgun.  Snake should run away before Shotgun can hit him.  This whole event will now lead into a CODEC call.  Snake should find a corner and duck. 

[CODEC TRANSMISSION]
Snake: Help!
Col.: How'd that plan turn out for you, dummy?  This point ain't gonna cap itself!  Take it like a man, shorty.
Snake: What the hell is youse guys' problem?!
Col.: Plant yourself on the /// Heavy ///, mister!
Snake: ... ... T'eh heh heh, yeah.
Col.: Heck yes!
Snake: That's what I'm talkin' about!
[END TRANSMISSION]

Snake should switch to bat.  He should now make efforts to find the Heavy and jump onto his head.  Bonk bonk bonk bonk until the Heavy is dead. 

Snake:  EAT IT, FATTY!
[END BOSS FIGHT]

[CUTSCENE]
Snake should stand over the Heavy's corpse.  The Heavy should say some stupid non-sequitor shit while the tear-jerking MGS music plays. 

Snake: Is someone keepin' track of my heads batted in?
Heavy: We lose, but they do not win?!
Snake: Uh, *no*.  Yeah, it's ours, now!
Heavy: [something something]
Snake: ...
Snake: (raspberry)
[END CUTSCENE]

Snake should run off in thirdpersonmayamode to the next area.

We'll figure out something to end this on, but I think that's enough for now.

You need to get your fingers back on the homerow keys 

ok, so that was farther back than I thought.

[Fail Medic]

I'm curious as to what the hell you people are talking about, but anyway.
