[quote][B]Valve is teaming up with the network behind[I]Robot Chicken[/I] and [I]Venture Bros.[/I] for an unrevealed [I]Team Fortress 2[/I] project. [/B]Even if you're not a fan of Valve's free-to-play[I]Team Fortress 2[/I], you may have enjoyed the various [URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/day05_english.htm"]"Meet The Classes"[/URL] videos that its been producing since the game's release. They've been so popular in fact, that Valve even considered[URL="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92108-Valve-Ponders-Team-Fortress-2-Movie-Possibilities"]doing a Team Fortress animated movie[/URL] three years ago, but since then hasn't made a peep. Now there's a new twist: an [URL="http://www.adultswim.com/promos/valve/"]Adult Swim teaser site[/URL] is announcing some kind of partnership between Valve and the animation company, and the Team Fortress crew populates the background image. Adult Swim, for those of you who don't already know, is Warner Bros.' adult-animation cable television network. The network shares channel space with Cartoon Network, and has aired such hits as [I]Robot Chicken[/I] and [I]Venture Bros[/I], shows aimed squarely at the 18-30 geek demographic. While we won't have an answer until next week about what exactly is coming down the pipe, this website is Valve's usual "drumming-up-all-the-excitement-with-no-explanation" marketing style that got people so excited for [I]Portal 2[/I]. It could be something simple, like a "Meet The Classes" DVD; it also could be something completely new, like an animated series or the full movie that Robin Walker [URL="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92108-Valve-Ponders-Team-Fortress-2-Movie-Possibilities"]previously suggested[/URL]. Regardless, the companies are promising an answer sometime next week. Let the rampant speculation begin!

>Possibility of an animated TF2 series or animated TF2 movie My money, shut up and take it.
This is interesting and all but when did this happen. [quote]Even if you're not a fan of Valve's [b]free-to-play[/b]Team Fortress 2[/quote] I'm so out of the loop help.
This won't end well. But Valve will make anything else than the next Half-Life installment I guess.
[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;36444960]This is interesting and all but when did this happen. I'm so out of the loop help.[/QUOTE] TF2 has been free to play for like, a year.
[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;36444960]This is interesting and all but when did this happen. I'm so out of the loop help.[/QUOTE] When the meet the medic trailer was released, it was also supposed to announce that TF2 would be free to download so that everyone and their grandfather's dog would be able to get it.
[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;36444960]This is interesting and all but when did this happen. I'm so out of the loop help.[/QUOTE] What? Have you been staying in some third world country? How can anyone not have noticed that TF2 has been F2P
[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;36444965]This won't end well. But Valve will make anything else than the next Half-Life installment I guess.[/QUOTE] Instead of everyone thinking they're [I]avoiding[/I] the next Half Life installment, why don't we try to be more positive? Valve is a big company. They probably have the resources to have an entire team working on the next Half Life, as well as other teams working on other things like this.
I hope if it's an animated series they don't delay the release of SFM

Except near federal/state buildings, then they have all the advantages of technology. I can't get Broadband because I live on one side of the fucking street.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;36444992]What? Have you been staying in some third world country? How can anyone not have noticed that TF2 has been F2P[/QUOTE] Pretty sure even dying African children know that TF2 is free now.
[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;36445126]Pretty sure even dying African children know that TF2 is free now.[/QUOTE] Yeah with all those $50 laptops they get from donations and all.
Please no, I can't stand Adult swim.
[QUOTE=The mouse;36445164]Please no, I can't stand Adult swim.[/QUOTE] thanks for the input
Fucking monarch henchman costume for the scout with a dart shotgun and stun baton.
Oh god yes I always knew if there was a right way to do a TF2 animated series it would be with the Venture Bros team :dance: :allears: Oh just read that twit... Regardless of what it is, it can only be awesome. In fact, a Venture Bros-TF2 crossover sounds so pausible the mere tought of it makes my dick explode.
I'm clenching my pocket lint in excitement.
intredasting...
yesyesyesyesYES
A Team Fortress show could be quite interesting.
I think I just jizzed my pants at the thought of a Team Fortress 2 cartoon... Oh please be true
