[QUOTE=1STrandomman;36543651]What specifically could they have done that would have been better?[/QUOTE]
I've said it before but imo they dragged the candyland thing on for too long. Should have removed some of that and lengthened the interview parts a bit or just made them into monologues. But that's just my two cents.
The Pyroland goggles that recently got added are hilarious. Every time an enemy dies, they start laughing.
I completely forgot I was using them and played almost an hour of 2fort with them on.
Don't get why people are saying it's short. It's longer then a lot of the other meet the's, you guys are just spoiled.
People expected a conclusion, not another installment

That sound's good, but how would they have gone about it? There's not exactly an ongoing plot to conclude.
I just realized how pyrovision could save the soldier and demoman's friendship... or something like that. [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-unsmith.gif[/img]

People expected something amazing just because they waited a while.
Just because it took longer than it should have doesn't mean Valve was planning a fucking gigantic finale of epic proportions
Its just another Meet The ___ video, its also one of the best.

And why wouldn't they? It's the last Meet the (Class) video. We might get more things like Meet the Sandvich, but there's no more classes, this was it.

It also took longer because there was a lot more new models and effects they had to implement.
i truly hated everything past 2:32
because i came to the realization that this is the last meet video of any of the classes
depressing
I like it, though I think they used too much of the candyland in it. If they used a bit later it might work better but I admit the differences between Pyro's vision and reality make great contrast (mainly thanks to the music).
As a side note, my 10 year old brother was disappointed by it.
This Meet the Pyro thing is all over the internet now. In the forums I check!

I was completely satisfied with how it turned out, I mean you can't really do much with a character that doesn't talk and we know almost nothing about.
But what Valve managed to do was fucking awesome.

its not like a series of movies with any kind of apparent chronology to them
they introduce the characters. the only difference a new player/viewer would have if they watched the videos out of order is that they might notice the model/effect quality fluctuating.
The ending kinda reminded me of the to The Backwater Gospel.
[QUOTE=Hidole555;36526278]For some reason I always thought that if the Pyro was female, she would actually be some crazy old grandma as that would match the Pyro's build more than something like this[/QUOTE]
What makes you think the Pyro is a girl? It seems more like one of Valve's jokes. I don't think he's a girl.
I don't even think the rainbow part was anything more than a brush with a texture applied.
[B]EDIT:[/B]Well a bunch of brushes with textures applied, less brushes than a reguar map. Please excuse me if my terminology is incorrect.
[QUOTE=atttapi0;36563792]I don't even think the rainbow part was anything more than a brush with a texture applied.[/QUOTE]
It's an actual effect in game
Oh wait, did you mean the rainbow in the background near the end? Yea it dose look like a brush
I think it would be cool if they make "alternate" Meet The __'s for each classes.

No I mean like that whole Pyro eyes sequence was mostly just a background brush with a texture. It had some other elements but if you look almost nothing is modeled or has more polygons than 5

I agree,
This might work too:

The only thing I can possibly imagine that could become a meme from Meet the Pyro was "Do you believe in magic?" and besides a few people's names I've seen nothing meme-wise.
Did I miss a whole memes rise and fall or something?
So I got to thinking. It MAY be the last "Meet the class" video. But...well, we just got a new gamemode. "Meet the monkey", Anyone?
And maybe we'll get more gamemodes.
Maybe we'll see the return of the kill the VIP gamemode from the original game.
"Meet the civilian"
