TF2 is still funny 8 years later
Valve used to make really god damn cool videos for its games. Alongside the now legendaryTeam Fortress 2Meet the…videos, it also produced some rad videos forLeft 4 DeadandPortal 2.The last one I can find is forCounter-Strike: Global Offensive, and even that was awesome.
Alongside its own videos, Valve releasedSource Filmmakerto let other people make similar things and the annual Saxxy Awards to acknowledge Source filmmaking brilliance. This year’s winners have been announced, and they are still just as awesome as they were years ago when the awards were introduced.
Best Drama (also the onlyDota 2video):Together We Stand – NoxStudio
Best Action:Micro-Mann – The Winglet
And the winner for the best overallvideo?
The amazingTurbulenceby Dunkle, which you’re able to see below. Featuring great action sequences, some genuinely funny moments, and original voice acting, it’s pretty clear to see why this one won:
All of the videos and the nominees are totally worth watchingon theSource Filmmakerwebsite, even if some are a little bit jankier than others. It’s awesome to see what people can still do withTeam Fortress 2and the Source engine, even if it is a bit past its prime now.
