So Meet the Pyro starts NOW

[Solo-Wing]

My God, that was so twisted and hilarious. Valve, this is why I love you.

That is what I was thinking the entire time I was watching it. I loved it!

Capcha: Don't stop.
Yes Valve don't stop.

 

[Terminate421]

That was probobly the funniest thing I've seen all month.

 

[rayen020]

you judging by the way the pyro skips in the happy rainbow land, i'd say it's a she. although that does make the whole rainbow happy land a bit cliche and stereotypical huh? maybe gay? that'd be interesting.

 

[WaysideMaze]

Absolutely brilliant. Genuinely sat there belly laughing when that music kicked in.

 

[Hyperrhombus]

aaand theres an unlisted version of the same video embedded on adult swim.
It looks the same, but the cigarette's different at 00:40...
ARG, anyone?

 

[TheColdHeart]

That was pretty funny. Kinda explains the manic laughter you hear when you set people on fire.
I'm quite glad they didn't state the gender too, keeps the 'is it a he/she' thing a mystery. Although it is either a she or something really messed up in the respirator causing those visions...

Same here. And burning the begging Sniper at the end? Best video ever. The Pyro is a REDACTED after my own heart.

 

[Andrewtheeviscerator]

I thought it was funny and how they sidestepped the potential speaking/appearance issue itself...

I originally thought that the items we found in our inventories was actually objects of Poopy Joe's, such as the "Lint" was actually grey Rhesus Monkey Hair, Banana skins being his food and the journal being some sort of log of Poopy Joe's shortly before he got mutated by the australium, they noted that they had "high tech gear" that only protected his head which lead me to the theory that....


....Poopy Joe IS Pyro, his body would've been uprooted to something similar to a Human's and his intelligence being (somewhat increased) whilst his helmet prevented his head from changing at all and partially shielding it from the manliness of Australium.

Hence a Monkey-Headed Man Monkey creature. 0,0


The things such as the Cheese and the door latch....i just assumed the ship crashed into a cow Barn or something...but why noting that the Barn door latch having tiny horses inside is....mysterious to say the least, the capacitor would've implied that it was either intact because it was caused by SABOTAGE, or maybe it was intact debris from the crash...the Goldfish? Maybe the helmet was a Fishbowl...? (australium could be like radiation, except it can't get through glass?)


But if such a theory to exist, Vladimir Bananas would've crashed as well just to explain the duplicate Pyro on the other team, so they just dropped that off as a piece of lore...or something...?


Was the video the Robot Chicken thing..?

Actually the adult swim partner ship is about MOAR HATS! [http://www.adultswim.com/promos/valve/index.html]

I really enjoyed the video. It was a little short, but it was fun and memorable. I'm glad that they chose not to reveal any more about the Pyro's identity. The way that they built up the Pyro's reputation was really cool, and that shot near the end where they transition through the soldier's corpse was incredibly effective.

Currently there's a fairly heated discussion on how this video relates to bronies. If it's not too much trouble, could we keep that debate out of this forum?

Of course we can't.
Pyro confirmed as brony, because that's obviously the only place unicorns come from.

That and Whimsyshire.

 

[geK0]

I was sort of hoping to see his (her? it's?) face, but I guess that would have ruined the mystery. I loved what the heavy said in the beginning "I fear no man....but that THING....it scares me!"

I'll shake hands on that.

In the overall scheme of things is wasn't bad, but I just expected so much more considering how obscenely good the spy and medic ones were. As the final one I think people were expecting something grand to top it all off. Also, the whole leave it up to your imagination feels like such a cop-out.

Because males can't have cute things.

OT: It wasn't what i expected but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

 

[TheNaut131]

...what the fuck is in that respirator?

Each mercenary on the Red Team does their fair share of killing, but no matter what IT does, the Pyro's way of killing is always the most brutal and last the longest. No blunt hits with a bat or shovel, no one shot kills, no explosives, no automatic weapons, no clean kills, no benefit of the doubt. Just pure brutal axe hacking, flame throwing, merciless burning around him met with blood curdling screams and the smell of burnt flesh. But how much of that could someone take? How much killing of the Pyro's magnitude could said killer take before they stopped completely?

And what could you do to get them killing again?

Just a thought.

They didn't really leave much to our imaginations though. They showed that the Pyro is one messed up thing, who sees this colourful world when all they're actually doing is burning shit down. I reckon them showing its identity would of been a cop out, because really everyone would go "Boring" if it turned out to be a man, and everyone would go "I knew it, boring" if it turned out to be a woman. If anything else, people would of found some reason to complain. So yeah, what we got was pretty damn good.

 

[carpathic]

Yet another reason why Valve keeps on winning. That video was excellent. Truly, truly excellent.

I laughed, I cried and I thought about burning things.

 

[Zenn3k]

Disappointed they didn't reveal the gender, was fully expecting them to do so since they did Pyro last.

Funny video however.

 

[kurokotetsu]

I was laughing with my Pyro laugh all through the video. My insane, deranged laugh when I burn people. I love the Pyro and although I undestand that the wait was long and people wanted "more" this was insanely fun. I will wathc the hell out of it. I love you Pyro, you detanged creature (and the only thing the Heavy fears, as it should as a good corner and you and you're Medic are MINE). I would love to be able to burn buildings with poeple inside.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noooo! I searched for a similar thread but this didn't pop up. Alright...let's see if I can delete mine.
