Half-Life developer and Cartoon Network brand working together on mystery project; Team Fortress 2 tie-in suggested.

The developer of Half-Life and the TV network behind Robot Chicken are working together on a mystery project to be announced next week. A promo page on the Adult Swim website is touting the team-up with a tease for interested viewers.

"Adult Swim & Valve are teaming up for something that you'll probably enjoy," the site promises. "To learn how their video game peanut butter will be getting in our network's chocolate, come back next week."

While the details aren't clear, a Team Fortress 2 tie-in is implied. Character art from the free-to-play team-based shooter adorns the page, and the site's keyword content tags include the game's name, as well as classes like "the heavy, the scout, the soldier, the engineer, the demoman," among others. Back in February, Valve teased that a "brand new" secret project involving Team Fortress 2 was in the works.

Everything was pretty much copypastaed, just thought you all would be interested in this.  :cool:

if it's something you do in tf2 i'm not interested, i uninstalled the game a few months ago. it got really boring.

I fear (or assume) whatever they're unveiling won't really be worth looking forward to

but i dont know my be a smash hit whatever they're doing

it's meet the pyro.

most likely will turn into a 15 - 30 minute feature

I have kinda lost that hype that I used to have for tf2 as well and I haven't played it at all in the past months. But still... it was fun while it lasted and it is still one of my favorite multiplayer games, which is why I would probably never uninstall it. Occasionally, it can be quite a blast to revive the spirits of the past and especially for tf2 I have a feeling that it can hardly lose its charme for good. The online store applications as well as the fact that the game can be obtained for free now certainly did take away parts of the pleasure but I still wouldn't say that it has turned into something boring. Of course things get boring after you have spent a certain time with them but certain hypes can come back, even through minor changes... And it a couple of years, after a long break, having a good old match of tf2 might actually feel quite special in a nostalgic way for some of us...

if this is true

it could be very good

or absolutely terrible

nothing inbetween

I can't wait for those ATHF and venture bros themed hats.

if it's meet the pyro... well, i trust valve's writers
but the real question is how many hats will they put in the game for this???

hattf2joke.jpg

They might animate a series to the backstory of TF2, that would be cool.

If it does happen I just hope that they don't do terrible Aussie accents like most American media does, sometimes its just puke worthy what they do to our poor old accents.

>the TV network behind Robot Chicken

is this really what people call adult swim now? :/

i can only imagine it's going to be meet the pyro like bp said

yeah the pyro page now says "meet the pyro coming june 27th"

Sounds like it. I wonder why Valve would go through the trouble of having [as] on board for this though, when they are fully capable of producing something excellent themselves. Other than money.

the world of tf2 through the eyes of the pyro in a 12-part miniseries focusing on different games modes, classes and interaction between teams

venture bros / tf2 crossover

venture bros / tf2 crossover

I can actually see this working.

Mostly

Meet the Pyro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhOnX8qt3I#ws)

doesn't seem like it has anything to do with meet the pyro

It just shows he is an insane psychopath, there wasn't much they could do that wouldn't reveal his background character. He is meant to be mysterious. I don't think fleshing out his character was really on the cards.

Ye... probably the wisest thing they could do... and I really liked the concept behind this one... I think it might actually be my new favorite.

He's insane! not as impressive as the others but it could be worse. I actually like that they didn't really reveal anything about him.

i like how they still managed to imply gender both ways

"young girl's heart" in the song and scout referring to pyro as "he"

anyway it's my fav meet the

it's frank horrigan

The entire team... was babies.

i liked it. especially the flying babies.

http://www.adultswim.com/promos/valve/ (http://www.adultswim.com/promos/valve/)

it's just a robot chicken hat

lmfao that is so disappointing

i'd agree on that

and while i do hate robot chicken with a passion, ive seen worse hats and to me it fits the pyro well

not quite that mini series i was hoping for : (

i thought it was fitting. keeping him a mystery is probably better. and that was perfectly insane

also Introducing the Source Filmmaker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zri1c_If6Ic#ws)

if this is seriously the big reveal (part of me can't believe it is) then this is undoubtedly the single lamest thing both valve and adult swim have ever done

they say on that hat page that there's more to come.
also meet the pyro was pretty cool. i love how dark it is.

That filmmaker looks pretty sweet. Too bad I'm a dunce and have no idea how to use a program like that.

it's probably just like any other 3d animation program except you can only render it with source and use stuff that valve's already made. there's also probably some painstaking process of importing custom made stuff in it as well

So in a way, it's similar to GMOD? Enlighten me, I've never used the program. I know that GMOD is a sandbox type game where you can create your own content or import it. Though most movies using GMOD are done in collaboration with other multimedia programs, Photoshop, Vegas, etc.

no no, i meant that it's like 3dsmax or maya. i've never used gmod. but it does seem like a mix of gmod (premade assets) and maya (rendering engine, complex animation/staging/camera tools)

Ah all right. I think I understand now.

goddamnit now I have to reinstall tf2 to get those fucking vintage goggles

really loved meet the pyro, although i thought it was pretty obvious that he was insane from the start (most pyromaniacs are).

I don't see how this is even related to MLP. Because it has rainbow and pastel colors? This just looks like Candyland board game to me, which has been around long before MLP. People take things a bit too seriously. Like this lady. If she wanted a "hardcore" game, she wouldn't be playing TF2.

Also, Meet The Pyro was overall, a very macabre video. There's a duel meaning to it. His own fucking allies were afraid of him!

well it really has been a trend around the net lately, and it is due to the MLP thing. just look at diablo.

I guess I spend too much time on TBA posting hentai to know any better, haha.

i don't think valve was trying to go for that. MLP didn't invent this sort of idea. i actually remember, i think it was zekey that made a flash very long ago that had the same sort of concept. i don't think it's a new thing that's never been done before, and i'm pretty confident that it wasn't inspired by the brony fandom. and even if it was, plenty of games have pandered to brony culture in considerably more straight-up ways. (see: league of legends)

You guys mention games that I never play. Haha, Now I have to see how these games pander to the brony scene.

it IS a concept thats been around for a while but i can see why people are starting to find it obnoxious

and take a look at this

I would HONESTLY hope its NOT a TF2 cartoon



please say its not so mother...

i'm confused why people are saying that it is anything like mlp. there's a plushie pony in it for like 5 seconds.. it's not like mlp invented saturated colors and fluffy landscapes. the comparison is at best vague and unsubstantiated.

but if the video isn't obvious trollbait i don't know what is.

well that girl IS from The Best Gamers so yeah id agree on that

She seemed to be legitimately complaining about it. Couldn't really tell it was trolling.

she's definitely trolling, it's all an act and they love doing that kind of stuff

I had no idea she was part of TheBestGamers.

there's a centaur character designed by a brony who says "suffering is magic" as one of his taunts

but really it doesn't have much to do with MLP it's just one tiny gay reference on a largely unpopular and rarely played character that nobody cared about 2 weeks after he was launched - he was so useless nobody even cried about him being overpowered like they do with every other new character

meet the pyro was a good little film i just don't see the point of the adult swim tie-in but oh well

money, jim
