Meet the Spy was amazing. I mean, it was action packed, and had some jokes. "NOW HE IS COMING TO FUCK US!" It kinda captures the feeling of how a good spy can dominate a team, but a bad spy is ea...

I found meet the spy rather disappointing. Technically impeccable, but all of the others released so far sit higher in my affections. Something derived from this script here would have been much ...

I do like A writer from Valve(just kidding)'s assumption that because Americans won't understand what it means, they won't get it. An expletive in any language is fairly recognisable because of t...

@A writer from Valve(just kidding): Everything you just suggested is the equivalent of feces on the bottom of a shoe compared to what Pentadact wrote. Are you serious in thinking your suggestions...

This is what i think:The class vs class part should be cut-out. Also, even though it is cute, sentry personification is out of the question. even in Meet the Engy he did not talk to his sentry li...

He says things in at least three different languages in TF2, Italian more often than French. In fact, I did wonder if the French line that springs to mind, "Merde", could be Italian too - "Merda"...

Awesome. ps. the last sentence is in italian. I thought the spy was supposed to be french.

The part where you're in the Sentry's point of view is funny. That has to be incorporated somewhere.
https://www.pentadact.com/2008-09-24-a-stab-at-meet-the-spy/#comment-36605
Very well written But like the rest of the people, I have to admit A bit too long

Great script, though I would have to agree with most other people here that it's a tad too long. And, there's a bit of paradoxing going on: There are 2 spies and 2 engies, 1 spy/engie on each tea...

Explain to me again, Tom, why you aren't working for Valve? Excellent stuff, had me laughing the whole time.

That sentry bit was amazing, they should totally put that in.

do not trim the sentry bit. i nearly pissed myself. you are a brilliant writer and i would love to see this animated

Jesus fucking christ. Talk about detail. I must commend their efforts. Also, what the fuck is wrong with this guy? Get laid. Holy crap. Get laid.

Rather than being "too long", my complaint would be that it's not long enough, and needs even more! Even if "Meet the..." videos must be limited to a minute and a half, maybe the cut scenes could...

Heh, thanks. It took me a second to remember where I'd done that.

Considering Valve's reputation for stealing your and Mr. Livingston's ideas, I'm fully expecting to see a 'Meet The Sentry' video at some point in the near future. P.S. Excellent Futurama referen...
https://www.pentadact.com/2008-09-24-a-stab-at-meet-the-spy/#comment-35960
Although probably my favourite part, the bit from the sentry's view takes too much of the spotlight from the spy so would be inappropriate for the Meet The Spy video. Also I don't like the bit wh...

I second the "Bloody Good Idea" thing for Nonomu198's idea. I can SEE that working very well. Although it would also require that the Spy's Meet video be done last (if he were to go through all o...

I have a feeling Valve won't be too keen to show two spies in the same scene.
https://www.pentadact.com/2008-09-24-a-stab-at-meet-the-spy/#comment-35937
This was awesome, though it's too long. If I were you, i'd try to cut it down to around 90 seconds. Who knows? Maybe Valve will like it alot and actually try to make it, or atleast they might pub...

My favorites are the narration segments and the bit with the sentry, although it could stand to have a few lines cut. To reduce the length somewhat, consider making it follow the Meet the Soldier...

At one point the spy has to say, "After you." disguised as a spy to an enemy heavy and give a mad smile before we cut.

Oh crap. Didn't see your comment on length. I hereby retract my length comment.
https://www.pentadact.com/2008-09-24-a-stab-at-meet-the-spy/#comment-35869
Fantastic. Too long, but fantastic. I'd cut away some of the first scenes, but the sentry scene made me burst out laughing, truly great. A g-mod short in the works, methinks.
https://www.pentadact.com/2008-09-24-a-stab-at-meet-the-spy/#comment-35868
Phew. Thanks again, to all the people who said nice things since I last said thanks. Length: I officially no longer need to be told that it's too long for a Meet The Team video. If I hadn't said ...

As others have stated, to long for a regular "Meet the" video. Hopefully some skilled movie maker reads your script and makes an awesome 3 minute video.

I thought it was all great, but like others have said (It sounds like there is a final draught to come?) some bits could be chopped. I'd probably chop sections 2 to 7. I also think it would be co...

Nice script! Even if the whole thing is too long it could easily be cut down to size. "As usual, his accent takes a drunken tour of Western Europe" - does anyone else think the spy sounds just li...

the sentry bit was hilarious, and the "spy is spy" thing. all fantastic, you should be making this yourself. beats the meet the demo vid at any rate.

Great idea, but it drags on a bit. I learned that I'm actually topping the great Pentadact in points in some catagories, and I play the 360 version! You got me in points, I'm 33 with soldier. Mos...

It's great. Just one objection: the scenes seemed to drag on a bit.

Uniqueness: the Soldier trades rockets with an enemy Soldier in Meet The Soldier. Spy All Along: possibly I didn't explain this well. The Blu Spy never sees the Red Spy disguised - he's behind hi...

So good. Good enough to be the video, if it was half as long. I can't wait to see what Valve does with it.

Racism: It may have been racist as you wrote it, but I'm not sure it was as I read it - I mean, obviously, to a spy with the Spy's accent Russians must be The Enemy. 'Commies! I hate these guys'....
