Team Fortress 2/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

* [[Development Hell]]: The last four Meet The Team videos (Sniper, Spy, Medic and Pyro). The other five classes had been released relatively early on, but then it took 2 years to finish both Sniper and Spy, another 2 just to do Medic's, and another year for Pyro.

* [[Fake Nationality]]: None of the characters is of the same nationality and region as their voice actor, except ''maybe'' the Pyro.

* [[Fan Nickname]]:

** A Demoman wielding his melee weapon and shield is referred to as a "Demoknight" or "Sword and Board". "Targelander" and "Targe Demo" are also considered acceptable parlance for one with the Chargin' Targe and Eyelander. Likewise, a Demoman with a frying pan, Bounty Hat, shutter shades, and targe is called a [[Memetic Mutation|Demopan]].

Line 43:

* [[Schedule Slip]]: Valve Time applies.

** Notably, the [http://www.teamfortress.com/119/ 119th Update] was supposed to be the 100th Update.

As often happens, we emerged from thirty minutes of Valve Time, covered with bed sores and sporting full beards, to discover weeks had passed. While we were out, somebody here shipped 19 more updates originally scheduled for release in 2008."}}

** "Meet the Pyro" was announced to be released in 2012. As of April, Valve is finished with it, but it hasn't stopped the official wiki from [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:Current_Events joking that we should look for it in 2014].

* [[Talking to Himself]]: The Heavy and the Demoman share the same voice actor, while the Spy and the Pyro share another.

Line 62:

** There were a few more ideas for Meet the Medic which didn't make it in due to killing the pacing and/or it not really meshing with [[The Verse]]'s general aesthetic ([[Noodle Incident|BLU Spy's still living severed head]] is a nod to one of the scrapped ideas). Finally, they settled on THE iconic image (a Medic [[Über Charging]] a Heavy) and built the story around that.

*** Meet the Sandvich had many scrapped lines. Some of which are:

{{quote| '''Scout''': Give me back my leg bone! *whack* Don't hit me with it!~~<br />~~

{{quote|'''Scout''': Give me back my leg bone! *whack* Don't hit me with it!

'''Soldier''': You cannot hurt me! Pain does not hurt! *crack* I stand corrected!~~<br />~~

'''Soldier''': You cannot hurt me! Pain does not hurt! *crack* I stand corrected!

'''Scout''': He's like a bear! He's like a big, shaved bear that hates people! }}

* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://wiki.teamfortress.com An official one], no less.
