Picture relevant.

FLORP.

Engineer builds things for Spy-tech and Spy nags him to build him stuff for free because they're 'friends.'

This is obviously the truth.

I advise that folks don't get their undies in a bunch over speculation.

Rob Laro is perfectly capable of asking for a free hat of his design. It shouldn't be Valve's sole responsibility to offer a bonus compensation when they already send Rob checks for his content sold in the Mann Co Store. Valve seems generous enough to comply.

And since I do have a copy of the Steam Powered stories, I can confirm that I don't see any credits for Makani or the colorist either. So there's that fact checked. But at least, Makani had been paid for her work and she was still credited on things like Portal 2. It's not a horrible injustice, just a whoops on Valve's or probably Dark Horse's part.

>>10409
Apologies. I won't bring it up again.

As long as they get paid, I realize that should be enough.

>>10399
I don't know anything about the Rob Laro situation, but I can address some of the Valve/Darkhorse book issues, since I helped out with the signing and am friends with the editor of the book:

Makani is a contract artist, not an actual employee at Valve. All the other people at the signing were Valve employees that lived in Seattle. The signing (not signingS, there was just one) was in Portland, and while that is an easy drive from Seattle, I doubt they could have flown Makani in from Texas for just one evening of comic signing in a Portland comic shop. Also there are no credits for any of the artists in the book (or at least not proper ARTIST: blah blah COLORIST: blah blah credits), which I thought was a little weird, but they're not singling out Makani there.

Valve is super nice and if anything was overstepped (which happens a lot with companies involving multiple employees), I am sure if the offended parties just asked about it they would be answered promptly. They're nice guys. They like making sure the people who help out with their products get paid for it.

tl;dr calm yourself

Welp, this is my new favourite thing.

And just when I'd been thinking I hadn't listened to silly remixes in ages. A+

Changed my mind and ended up using YouTube to MP3 anyways.

Refrain from using the /dis/ board for self-promotion. If you want to share general TF2 videos, use the video thread here on /dis/. If you want to make a thread to share your video work, make it in /projects/.

Locking thread and marking for deletion.

Oh god, watch me horde metal until then. My "sexy medic ripping his shirt off with pulsating medic symbols behind him" sray is perfect for a laugh, but Id love something more personalized.

The first TF2 wallpaper I used.

I screen cap'd this from an pretty good tf2 video that used the Mad World song.

This one always amused me, the kind of subtly that lets you use it at work

I don't think this thread is saging yet, so please continue using this one!

This is usually one of the last sites I visit before shutting my laptop down and going to bed. That and I brainstorm story ideas before drifting off.

I want a fanfic of this now, and the seven deadly sins be represented as a Teammate and devil be Spy (or another class of your choosing)

I patiently wait for such awesomeness, especially from written works from you Cat!

Finally had one, although it felt more like I was watching the dream than actually being in it.

It started out in a kitchen/dining area apparently located in the BLU base. The BLU Spy entered the room and walked over to the counter and started preparing a cup of coffee, he reached up to open a cupboard above him and then made this surprised little screech. The "camera" immediately moved behind Spy, revealing that the cupboard was being occupied by the BLU Scout, who looked absolutely freaked out; when he saw Spy he stage-whispered, "H-hey man, you gotta help me out, Medic's been chasin' me around with a freakin' needle all morning! The guy's crazy!" After blinking a few times Spy sighed and muttered, "And yet you are the one who stuffed himself into a spice cupboard." Then a sitcom laugh track played.

A lot of stuff happened before and after, but this was the only part I remember clearly. The only thing I question is why Spy even needed to open the spice drawer if he was only making coffee.

Or maybe we're just seeing from inside the fridge because it makes for an interesting video, hearing the action instead of seeing it, and not the spy.

>assuming there is only a single fridge in any base.

MTS probably took place in the mess hall while MTM was obviously in the infirmary

>>10163
of course, which is probably why MtS probably wasnt in the spy's POV.

Friendly neighborhood Admin stepping in.

I'm going to be frank and say a couple things to everyone. Get the fuck along, get over the butthurt, no your ass will not be patted, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but you are NOT entitled to be making ad hominems and needlessly attacking other people over their opinions.

This thread allowed people to express their opinions and have frank discussions over those opinions civilly. However, a few of you decided the thread was in the wrong because someone, somewhere might have their delicate sensibilities hurt. Grow up, be the bigger person and pull up your pants and get over it. For fuck sakes.

Also, there's a rule that has seemed to have been forgotten.

Rule 8: Do not create drama. See a post you dislike? You have three options:
a. If it breaks the rules, click the tick-box next to the poster’s name, scroll to the bottom of the page, type a reason in the "Reason" field and then click the "Report" button. Do not respond to it.
b. If it does not break the rules but offends your delicate sensibilities, ignore it.
c. Calm yourself down. Take a deep breath, count to 10, release. Go for a walk if you need to - just don't post stupidly in response to it.

If it helps, I can make a new thread with a less contentious title. Yes, as the OP, I have been trying to stay out of this, but If I changed "Fantard" to "Fanon", would that be better?

And Serain, I get that not everyone feels the same about certain kinks. I get upset about rape and Child abuse. The sarcasm was an attempt to be funny about the specter of pregnancy among genderbent classes. It was not an attempt to go "Oh, look at these people, they SO HORRIBLE!" I admit to having a problem with tone, I am a bit Asperger's, so I don't always get tone, either in myself or others. I am trying to get better about it, but I don't always think about how what I am saying comes across.Sometimes, I don't get it until much, much later. Sometimes, I don't get it at all.

Not trying to excuse myself, just to explain.

>>10142

Really the only problem I see is maybe the use of "Fantard". Otherwise, there's nothing being said in the actual content of the OP and the rest of the thread in it's entirety that suggests one group of fans are better than another. If anything it just shows the diversity with all fans. The culture of TF2chan has shifted and it's obvious to me that it's users are not the callous assholes people keep thinking they are. In fact, I have more faith in TF2chan users than I do in other websites. And really, people shouldn't be taking something someone said on the internet not specifically directed at them so personally. It's really okay. No one has been trying to make anyone out as being inferior, just not sharing one's personal taste.

So yeah, I'll close this thread now, but someone is welcome to start a similar one again. You guys were doing fine as far as I can see, even if I disagreed with some of the things being said, nothing ever felt like an outright attack against anything except the concepts.

Is it just me or does Chell have a goatee in the picture?

>>10098
I think it's just awkward shading.

>>10098
>>10111
Really, you guys?

Obviously, it's Chell's evil twin from an alternate dimension, Mell.
