I was one of those latecomers when it came to jumping on board the whole Half Life 2 bandwagon. I got the Orange Box when it was marked down to $9.99, and finally got to enjoy the game that everyone was buzzing about 3 years ago. But then the big shocker was that after I beat the game, and Portal, I ended up playing Team Fortress 2 for another 40 hours. The game was that good.
But it wasn’t just the great multiplayer deathmatches, it was the whole style of the game. The art direction, the character design, and the audio work has such colorful flare. And I was thinking to myself, it would cool if this was actually made into a cartoon. Lo and behold…
This cartoon rocks all sorts of amazingness. It’s the creation of Andrew Kepple, a Kiwi from Zealand, who is a triple threat with talent (that’s what he says on his website!) He writes music, draws comics, and also does flash animation.
What’s great about this cartoon is that I can actually see this become a great ongoing series on Adult Swim. It has to appeal to a more mature audience, as we don’t want something that Nickelodeon might air. It brought back memories of the classic Road Runner and Wyle E Coyote cartoons, mixed with liberal doses of Happy Tree Friends, and facial reactions out of Ren and Stimpy. Then out of nowhere, Benny Hill music comes blaring in, cameos by Luigi, a Portal reference, etc. Man, Andrew is one gaming nut. And make sure you watch all the way through. It gets strange.
Wow, that was amazing. I haven’t seen a cartoon that made me feel the simple joy of watching a “new” Looney Toon in years. At least we now know what the tenth class is going to be!
I like the artistic style of Team Fortress 2 because of the animated action style of the game. This is great that they are going in a cartoon style direction for this game, it looks great from what the video shows. The end of the video is pretty cool, they had Spyro the Dragon in it.
Weird. Thought I posted something here last night. At any rate, I am in complete agreement with Bart. Good stuff!
The whole sexual scene made me feel a little disgusted.
lmao, that was really good! And what a twist at the end lol. Are there more of these?
That was…like nothing I’ve ever seen.
yea….I think I might need a shower now lol…but hey it is 2010…and a black man is president….
so I guess this is appropriate lol
love it. :)
Yeah I saw this posted on the tf2 forums and thought it was pretty funny. I hope the person that made this makes more because I would definitely watch it.
Lol wow that was amazing. It made me want to watch a looney toon cartoon. My favorite part was when the guy got killed by the piece of sausage and also the “greetings from rapture” honey moon picture was funny. After the cupid part it was kinda disturbing but still funny. Guess i know how spyro was born now.
Funny yes, disturbing, yes x2. What in the world was the cartoonist smoking? I didn’t get the ending at first. It’s funny now:0
I kind of saw where this was going, but it was still pretty good. I think they played out the relationship a bit much, though.
I remember seeing this not too long ago and since I play a load of TF2 I got a kick out of it. I especially liked the references to other Valve games.
