Meet the Spy leak

[DigitalSushi]

Excellent! Now we can all finally say that the Spy is truly French! I vaguely remember someone saying that nobody'd know what nationality he was until 'Meet the Spy' came out, and here it is.

Actually, I think he is multiple nationalities because he says "prego" which is "thanks" in Italian.

Prego is "your welcome" in Italian.

Graci is thanks.

IS THERE A MEET THE PYRO?

because I swear I've seen it before, but its not anywhere on youtube, even on valves offical channel, I feel slightly insane. theres only cheap knockoffs.

The video is simply awesome. After months of nothing since Meet the Sandvich, I'd thought they'd given up on Meet the Team, but this... this was just fantastic.

Also, to people debating his nationality: the spy's country of origin is purposefully unknown. It's pretty much been left at a vague "European country of romantic language". Simply speaking a French phrase doesn't make him French.

No, but being a walking french stereotype does.

Really? The spys on my team don't surrender at every turn.

You know, there's french stereotypes besides that one. As it stands, he fits the '60s french spy stereotype.

But thats my point - what French stereotypes does he fit that don't seem to be merely vaguely European? Not philosophic, not overly rude, doesn't stink of garlic and cheese, doesn't express his hatred of Americans, doesn't play an accordion... what are these stereotypes he fits into?

You've just described some cartoon European.

Buh... Buh... there was French music when he picked up the photo! Unless the Scout's mother is French... Which I doubt.
And he says "petit chou-fleur"... :3
Iono. I like to think he is French.

True, true. Okay, fair enough, you're probably right.

...I am? I... don't recall ever making the quoted comment...

Don't worry, that happens to me all the time. I'll post a comment, it'll get quoted, and then I'll be stuck thinking "What? When did I make this post?"

Umm... No?
I made that comment. =\

Edit: Didn't mean to be mean if I came across as such
And that should've probably been "petite chou-fleur

No problem at all. This happens too sometimes, when deleting alot of the extra quote boxes so as to not create a quote period, a comment will be accidentally attributed to the wrong person.

And when I say this happens too sometimes, I mean this is my 4th or 5th time accidentally doing this.

Never been an official meet the pyro, the best of the unofficial ones has been the one with "Firestarter" music being played, and them all in a pipe.

I personally like all the "meet" videos, other than demoman and soldier. The Spy, the Engineer, the Heavy, and the Scout are my favorites.

Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother? I HURT people.

Just looked at the TF2 blog, and they have the Meet the Spy video up with a message "act surprised", which leads me to believe that they Leaked the video in the first place, if it wasn't apparent already.

they even gave themselves an achievement at the bottom of the page.

Valve could totally make a feature length movie using the characters from all of these "Meet the..." clips.

 

[Spleenbag]

God, I'd gladly pay triple price to see a full-length movie of this caliber in theaters. Hurry up and make "Team Fortress 2, Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Sap the Sentry" already, Valve!

Pure. GOLD!
