We've got STAR_, Jerma985, and now Muselk back on TF2 in just the last few months alone. It's like my childhood is coming back to visit, and I'm all here for it.
facts it’s crazy to see all these OG goats coming back. would do anything to go back to being 11 years old discovering jerma and TF2 for the first time again
Not only that, tf2 has allowed so much creativity in the animation scene. So many tf2 animations that I can rewatch over and over. Some are absolute masterpieces.
It's so great to see Muselk be passionate about TF2 still. Brings a tear to my eye. No matter what, he'll always be a TF2 legend. If he plays more TF2 matches (Elmaxo you sly devil), then it'd be stellar to see him play with his old HUD. Thank you, Muselk. If you're reading this then you'll always have a place in the history of TF2
i have never been so proud to be part of this community, TF2 rocked my childhood and gave my countless memories and hours of fun, seeing it hit player peak and growing stronger no matter the lack of updates and content really does bring a tear to my eye, it is a timeless game that i know will never die and who better to tell the story than the man i grew up watching shoveling pepole to death and drinking bear sky high above everyone
This video is really special to me. I grew up with tf2 and while so many things in life change and evolve, tf2 has always been this steady rock of a game to call home. I grew up with Muselk’s videos as well and still have such fond memories of every tryhard tuesday, so to see him remember and remind us all how special this game is brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Muselk and TF2 for all of the good times, and for more good times for years to come!
By this point I'll never get tired of tf2 gameplay, humor, analysis videos. Tf2 is just an fps masterpiece that I'm convinced got that magic that can't be replicated.
Thats kind of why I out right _don't_ like Open Fortress or TF2 Classic. They both have my respect, but they can't replicate the "Magic" TF2 has. The Merc of OF is NO WHERE near as endearing as the Original 9, (And just comes off as a "Faceless Nobody"), And whilst I applaud TF2C for keeping it vanilla/sticking with the Classic Artstyle, it just feels like a Diet Coke version of TF2.
i was bummed when Muselk stopped making tf2 content, but also understood his perspective of struggling to find new ways to make content, thus switching to something fresh to get the creative juices flowing. I'm so happy to see that even though its been quite a few years he still loves this game, and is willing to come back and give TF2 some of his personal flair again
I don’t think valve deserves content creators to promote their game anymore when they abandoned it … they make money from that game on the community market but refuse to remove bots and cheaters and update bugs
@@bobjamaica9045Valve probably (but likely) makes more money off Dota 2 and CS2 thus making them more profitable to update, hence why they don’t even bother making singleplayer games anymore once in a blue moon. I don’t really blame them because they only make a game when they have new innovation and tech, as opposed to releasing just because they need the money. However they can’t really innovate in TF2 because the code is like tangled wires and makes a fraction of the revenue. This is just my theory anyway.
People knowing Muselk as "The Fortnite Guy" is absolutely crazy considering many of us old fart TF2 players still remember the golden age of TF2ubers with STAR_, Jerma985, Muselk, and others.
I can’t remember how many years ago I started watching you and your tf2 content. Now coming back years later as an adult human is kinda crazy. Thank you for the lovely memories muselk
Honestly I love the cow mangler purely for those moments when you stun an engi's sentry and shovel it to death. The engineer's reaction never fails to be funny.
i usually just get on top of it and do the dance of death where a sentry is chasing you and if you misstep you die but after thousands of hours in this game i can do it all the time
at least now he made it more clear to those who think he's a traitor for "leaving" tf2 for another game that the reason why he "left" was because of a creative barricade, not because he doesn't like or appreciate the game, and those who still think he's a traitor clearly have never viewed it from the perspective of a content creator trying to make NEW content over an over again
Yeah same reason for Ster and Jerma, shame people can get so angry and ruin the good memories we had and even make the content creator unhappy with the community.
my issue isnt that he stopped tf2, it's that he became another bargain bin clickbait fortnite youtuber. and im still not convinced he isnt just gonna go right back
@@2-Way_Intersection I mean let's face it: he's in too deep to give up fortnite and go back to tf2 or play another "main" game on the channel so don't expect him to return, In his mind, he's already creatively done everything he can think of in tf2, so he's not coming back with tf2 as a main stay as that ship has long since sailed
@@FED0RA yeah I definitely hate when viewers act towards creators like they're holding a knife to your neck if you dare leave like you have to bow down and serve them like some kind of foot-kissing peasant
Same. My dad didnt allow violent games on my xbox so I just played TF2 since it ran on linux. I had a shitty ubuntu machine back in grade 4. It was insane finding a game that I could actually play on it other than Minecraft lol
@@honkhonk8009 TF2 ran on that "shitty machine?" In about 2011 or 2012, I had a computer with such low power that I couldn't even play Minecraft on it without having the fog distance extremely close to me, I think it was at 2 chunks. TF2 wouldn't run at all for me in 2009, except at about 4 FPS, which was unplayable.
@@101Voltsif you booted the game in DirectX 8 it could run significantly easier at the cost of graphics. It more than doubled my fps from a 35 or so to in the 90’s back before I invested in a real rig to use.
Started watching your main channel back like in 2013-2014, when you had around 4k subs since i has watched a STAR_ Market Gardening video and stuck with you since then. TF2 and consequently, you, Star and Jerma brought me into the UA-cam and Twitch media and I have been imprisioned since then. So I don't know if i should feel grateful or curse you for this addiction. The point being; TF2 has always been a perfect combination of timeless aesthetics and gameplay, all desgined for rmaximum enjoyment for both the casual and addicted gamer, and having content creators that depict this so well.. no wonder why it's still alive and kicking 16 years later.
I wish this was a main channel upload. The amount of love that can be seen here is just heartwarming. thank you muselk for this amazing video. as someone who just got into the game recently, I am having so much fun playing it with my friends who've been playing much longer than me and I am glad I can share in this amazing experience with them
I started TF2 before watching Muselk, but his uploads from six years ago probably continued my passion for the game. To this day I still play, having around 3500 hours. TF2 is one of those games you never really quit, you just take long breaks from it.
I've played tf2 for 1k hours when i was going to highschool in 2014-2016 and it was pure fun! Especially, cosmetics and taunts make this game more fun. I can remember how i was having fun in the deathrun and saxton hale servers.
As someone who fell in love with TF2 with the help of your videos but never played Overwatch or got very much into Fortnite, it’s easy for people like me to call you a “traitor” or think that you don’t like the game anymore. But to watch a video like this where you basically geek out over how great TF2 is and show that this game still holds a special place in your heart makes me really happy.
I remember being apart of the traitor group for a few months. I didn't say a whole lot other than a few times. Maybe 3. Regardless I remember being happy with Overwatch content. It was a great time to enjoy the game and the content. Then when fortnite hit. It was also fun as hell. But as everything slowed down. It became clear to me how he was doing youtube for awhile. I took a break from his content. After 1 year or something. I always loved his content. No matter what he did now. He'll always be the rocket jumping solider to me. One of the greatest that will not be forgotten.
Hi, wanted to say you making this video was really nice. I watched your content as a kid, and would tune in every week for Tryhard Tuesdays(/Wednesdays). I cannot remember any in-jokes about it anymore, but, I assure you, I was there. Watching your content inspired me to hop into the game more often and become a better rocket jumper. I wanted to be, as my eyes saw you as a middle school/early high school kid, a Legendary Trolldier God. I never put TF2 down (for long) after that. I am not a Legendary Trolldier God nowadays, but I can clear a tier 5 jump map given 20 or 30 minutes depending on how caffeinated I am at the time. I do appreciate the bringing up your transition from TF2 to Overwatch, and the community response to that shift. While at the time I also slipped into the Overwatch bubble, I do remember feeling that "traitor" feeling that was mentioned. I was no better, obviously. Early Overwatch was unironically a blast. However, a lot of people had the perception that you didn't quite appreciate what TF2 did for you, being a launchpad to your career. It is nice to have this dedicated piece showing that you really do appreciate the TF2 community as it stands and what it has done for you, and all of us really. Keep doing your best, and have a good one.
Man, seriously, no matter how much time passes, you will never stop being a tf2 enjoyer. Even though life happened and I've stopped playing video games all together, if there is one game I come back to just to have genuine fun and enjoy playing, its TF2. My profile picture says everything. Once you've played this game for a long enough time period, You will forever be a tf2 fan. The best and the most loved video game ever. Nothing will ever top this masterpiece.
honestly the freedom you have in tf2 is something ive never really thought about. when i first tried overwatch i remembered thinking junkrat was basically demoman. was very disappointed at how stiff jumping with his explosives feel
I never watched your old tf2 videos but i’ve heard stories about your impact on the community and it’s just nice to see you having fun with the game we all love again Museman
i still remember watching you back in highschool and that was back in 2013! Man it sure brings back memories! Def one of the most engaging videos youve uploaded in ages!
I still remember the amazing market gardener montages you used to post on the TF2 subreddit back before you were a huge UA-camr. Honestly when you blew up during the Fortnite craze I felt kind of round that someone spawned by the community I was part of had made it so big. All these years later you're still making amazing videos
Man this is so heartwarming to hear. Tf2 which has been an almost unanimously life changing in people’s gaming experience still being preserved by said people is amazing. Muselk you were one of my main reason that tf2 was such an enjoyable game because of how creative you were with it, and ever since I was first able to boot it up, I’ve never had a single bad experience! Thank you and every other person that has kept giving the game its much deserved love
Pretty sure I saw you in a match with Elmaxo also, but I miss you man. Watched you a lot back during the invasion update and slightly before that in 2015. Glad you never fully abandoned ship with TF2. I've played since 2008 and still enjoy it to this day.
Muselk coming back to tf2 was surprising. Making this kind of video is even more so. Love it honestly. Cool format of video and hopefully it will take off
Hearing you call taunts, emotes, hurt, but still, its glad to have ya back. You brought so many people into tf2 in the past, and I hope many more will come from this video. Also valve hasnt even been monetizing tf2 properly, all of those leagues with prize pools are people putting in their own money, not even valve, in fact from a leak, this isnt a joke btw, there seems to be under 5 developers actively working on tf2.
God I remember coming home when I was like 11 watching your sniper dorito mtn dew drink mix video lmao, yesterday was my 21st birthday, amazing to see you still have love for this game as I just picked it back up a few weeks ago
This hits the nail on the head on why tf2 is so fun for so so long. I've seen a lot of videos and discussions about how its the hitboxes making it satisfying to hit people or how the memes and community make it relatable etc etc. Although these are important, the fact you can FEEL yourself improving at tf2 everytime you go on makes it so rewarding and so addictive.
I started watching your videos at the height of my TF2 playing. Moved to Overwatch with you as well, but never felt the same connection with the game. I got TF2 as part of The Orange Box and played about 1,000 hours. It was, until about 5 or 6 years ago, my "old faithful" game that I'd probably put a few hours a week into. I dropped off watching your video's when you went to Fortnight but this just popped into my feed and I had to watch. I might give TF2 another whirl, though I'd need to get my skills brushed up again. I remember when TF2 went F2P, that was a month of some serious kill farming with my love of playing the spy. Newer players just didn't know how to counter it to begin with.
Muselk, you got me in to PC gaming and specifically TF2. even though I don't watch your content very often, since I don't vibe with overwatch or fortnite, I still believe you are a legendary content creator, and you hold a special place in my heart. Thanks Muselk.
It's been a while Muscle K. Glad you still have that passion you always had in gaming. May have stopped watching as you moved to games i wasn't huge on, but I'm happy for you man
this video means alot to me right now. i never watched muselk's content much, but i always really liked it, and im glad he got back to an old favorite of his. tf2 and muselk are truly inseperable
I cant belive that tf2 needs a introduction, but then again its bloody old. So i guess occasionaly these videos are needed. This one is pretty good, glad to have you back in the Badlands
I was like 14 when I started watching your content. Although I have since grown out of the style of your content, I still hold respect for you. I remember being quite sad and actually upset at you when you moved on from TF2 but I can see your point of view nowadays. Call it burnout, content block, whatever; I respect the fact that you stopped when you didn't want to make TF2 content anymore. More so I respect the fact that even though the vast majority of your fanbase back then were TF2 players, you still took your chances and taking those risks paid off greatly. You reached success twice and that is something very inspiring.
Ngl when i was a kid i used to watch your videos on tf2 then you started playing overwatch and i stopped. I never had a pc as a kid but i always loved watching tf2 videos (like team fabulous 2) but now as an adult i just hit 1000 hours on tf2 and im still loving this game like when i first watched your videos all those years ago. Welcome back to the family brother!!!
Dude the video is so good! I really like this indepth informative kinda vid and it was still entertaining too! You can really tell he put a lot of effort into it and it really paid off 👏
Known TF2 because of my man Muscle K here. Watched all of your vids from Spy trick stabs to Rocket Jumping antics. Loved the game and still do. And I'm glad that the legend is back at it
yet again, his main channel now only consists of fortnite which seems to be the main cash grab at the moment. however, it isn't as popular as it was back in 2018-19; i just really hope that he sticks to his original personality more than a more scripted version of himself, but that's just me
Yeah, and just picture all the people that join TF2 because of it. I'm not a fan of Fortniter kids, but more players is more players at the end of the day. If we can keep getting more generations of players into the game, TF2 will probably never die.
@@waltss8896 I was too. But at-least the games we played were cultured and were arguably much better than what late Gen Z and Gen Alpha are growing up with to this day.
it is nice to see my boy muselk talk about this game and how it is still kicking (also it is nice to see him talk about solar knight and his demo knight videos)
Thank you, Muselk for making this video and bringing me back to 2014. when the first thing i did after school was watching your Tryhard Tuesday vids. such good times
It's crazy how most people now know you from overwatch or fortnite but I remember watching you play this game so long ago. I remember all the funny moments and hope there's some more
I started watching this video not even recognizing your voice and then I saw your face. I haven't watched one of your videos since 2018 back when I played Fortnite in middle school. Goddamn muselk you're still just as good at making videos as you were back then. Keep up the great work
Bit disappointed this isn't a main channel video, considering how much effort was invested into explaining a lot of stuff that we tf2 fans have been circlejerking about since forever and the fact that it already has more views than the majority of this years videos on his main.
You would not believe how happy I was to see the Elmaxo video with you. I remember when you moved on from TF2. I was sad, but I knew it had to happen. I'm... glad there's one final conclusion to this.
Truly inspired me to re-download the game and play it again once more. Tf2 is and always will be my favorite game ever since I played it for the first time over 10 years ago
It feels weird to see you coming back to TF2 again, even if it's for a single video. But it's not an unwelcomed surprise. Though to be honest, while it's people like DasBoSchitt, kitty0706, and others who had shown me TF2 through Gmod, you are among the first that has shown me TF2 through TF2. And while it may have sunset behind Overwatch and eventually Fortnite, I still reminisce the times you come in, Rocket Launcher blazing, hitting those God-Like Killstreaks. Though I suppose the beginning portion showcases TF2's greatest strength, and in my opinion, the major reason why, even after the years of no true updates like Jungle Inferno, or Love & War, or MVM, or any updates of similar ilk, it's got to be the community's dedication to the game and its brand of humor. It's kind of like why Gen 4 MLP had survived for so long within the pop culture lexicon even as it did eventually sunset as well. They both hit just the right mark to becoming as big as they did, coming after the Wild West Age of the Internet, and before the Corporate Megacity Age of the Internet and the Great Sterilization. Where it isn't the corporate entity that dictates change and growth, but rather the community that surrounds the icon. Where cartoons can stay in stasis as people dedicate their time to talk about what makes it great, where old gems become more well known because of the greater speed of word of mouth. The two came in at the right time, and while TF2 might never bring in numbers like Overwatch or Fortnite will, I feel confident that TF2 can survive within our minds, even once the game itself dies. It is more than just iconic, it's a bonafide master piece of culture in the late 2000's and early 2010's.
We've got STAR_, Jerma985, and now Muselk back on TF2 in just the last few months alone. It's like my childhood is coming back to visit, and I'm all here for it.
facts it’s crazy to see all these OG goats coming back. would do anything to go back to being 11 years old discovering jerma and TF2 for the first time again
Hopefully we get Lazypurple back 2, hope his mental health is doing good
Brings me back to the old High Stakes days…

Not only that, tf2 has allowed so much creativity in the animation scene. So many tf2 animations that I can rewatch over and over. Some are absolute masterpieces.
I just rebegan watching Eltorro64rus' videos, abselutely fabulous videos. Or team fabulous 2
Emesis Blue ong is my actual favourite animated movie
It goes to show once again why TF2 is a Timeless Masterpiece
And now we just have meuslk just here again it's strange
Man. Havent seen you in a while.
TF2 will never die as long as stickmaster is here
Oh wow sa sniper is here
OH HE SAID THE THING
HE DID THE LAZY PURPLE REFERENCE
As a person who literally shares the birthdate with TF2, i can confirm, this game is a timeless masterpiece.
It's so great to see Muselk be passionate about TF2 still. Brings a tear to my eye. No matter what, he'll always be a TF2 legend.

However, a lot of people had the perception that you didn't quite appreciate what TF2 did for you, being a launchpad to your career. It is nice to have this dedicated piece showing that you really do appreciate the TF2 community as it stands and what it has done for you, and all of us really. Keep doing your best, and have a good one.
Man, seriously, no matter how much time passes, you will never stop being a tf2 enjoyer. Even though life happened and I've stopped playing video games all together, if there is one game I come back to just to have genuine fun and enjoy playing, its TF2. My profile picture says everything. Once you've played this game for a long enough time period, You will forever be a tf2 fan. The best and the most loved video game ever. Nothing will ever top this masterpiece.
yeah, there's just something about tf2 that keeps you coming back
I started playing very recently, already love it a ton. The depth is just unmatched.
honestly the freedom you have in tf2 is something ive never really thought about. when i first tried overwatch i remembered thinking junkrat was basically demoman. was very disappointed at how stiff jumping with his explosives feel
Just watched the Elmaxo video, and was one of your older tf2 content enjoyers. You hit the nail on the head here.
I never watched your old tf2 videos but i’ve heard stories about your impact on the community and it’s just nice to see you having fun with the game we all love again Museman
I feel like this is the beginning of something great. Thank you, Elmaxo
i still remember watching you back in highschool and that was back in 2013! Man it sure brings back memories! Def one of the most engaging videos youve uploaded in ages!
I still remember the amazing market gardener montages you used to post on the TF2 subreddit back before you were a huge UA-camr. Honestly when you blew up during the Fortnite craze I felt kind of round that someone spawned by the community I was part of had made it so big.
All these years later you're still making amazing videos
Man this is so heartwarming to hear. Tf2 which has been an almost unanimously life changing in people’s gaming experience still being preserved by said people is amazing. Muselk you were one of my main reason that tf2 was such an enjoyable game because of how creative you were with it, and ever since I was first able to boot it up, I’ve never had a single bad experience! Thank you and every other person that has kept giving the game its much deserved love
ur TF2 vids were my childhood
Thank you for all the love and commitment you have to this game and this community.
Pretty sure I saw you in a match with Elmaxo also, but I miss you man. Watched you a lot back during the invasion update and slightly before that in 2015. Glad you never fully abandoned ship with TF2. I've played since 2008 and still enjoy it to this day.
been a viewer of yours for a long time and it warms my heart to see u play the game again
Muselk coming back to tf2 was surprising. Making this kind of video is even more so. Love it honestly. Cool format of video and hopefully it will take off
Hearing you call taunts, emotes, hurt, but still, its glad to have ya back. You brought so many people into tf2 in the past, and I hope many more will come from this video. Also valve hasnt even been monetizing tf2 properly, all of those leagues with prize pools are people putting in their own money, not even valve, in fact from a leak, this isnt a joke btw, there seems to be under 5 developers actively working on tf2.
Im happy to know he knows his roots. And the game that will never die and can always welcome him back
Edit: thanks for the likes
He's only back into TF2 content because his views dried up.
God I remember coming home when I was like 11 watching your sniper dorito mtn dew drink mix video lmao, yesterday was my 21st birthday, amazing to see you still have love for this game as I just picked it back up a few weeks ago
Muselk was one of the first TF2bers that I ever watched, and to see another TF2 video from him feels special.
This hits the nail on the head on why tf2 is so fun for so so long. I've seen a lot of videos and discussions about how its the hitboxes making it satisfying to hit people or how the memes and community make it relatable etc etc. Although these are important, the fact you can FEEL yourself improving at tf2 everytime you go on makes it so rewarding and so addictive.
When the world needed him most he cameback.
I started watching your videos at the height of my TF2 playing. Moved to Overwatch with you as well, but never felt the same connection with the game. I got TF2 as part of The Orange Box and played about 1,000 hours. It was, until about 5 or 6 years ago, my "old faithful" game that I'd probably put a few hours a week into.
I dropped off watching your video's when you went to Fortnight but this just popped into my feed and I had to watch.
I might give TF2 another whirl, though I'd need to get my skills brushed up again.
I remember when TF2 went F2P, that was a month of some serious kill farming with my love of playing the spy. Newer players just didn't know how to counter it to begin with.
Muselk, you got me in to PC gaming and specifically TF2. even though I don't watch your content very often, since I don't vibe with overwatch or fortnite, I still believe you are a legendary content creator, and you hold a special place in my heart. Thanks Muselk.
Muselks love for TF2 really shines through here. Takes me back almost a decade!
1:11 the fortnite guy? Nah the tf2 market garderner guy with a wizard hat.
It's been a while Muscle K. Glad you still have that passion you always had in gaming. May have stopped watching as you moved to games i wasn't huge on, but I'm happy for you man
this video means alot to me right now. i never watched muselk's content much, but i always really liked it, and im glad he got back to an old favorite of his. tf2 and muselk are truly inseperable
Tf2 is a game that I genuinely have never gotten bored of
This is amazing content, why isn’t this a main channel video
I cant belive that tf2 needs a introduction, but then again its bloody old. So i guess occasionaly these videos are needed. This one is pretty good, glad to have you back in the Badlands
Bro what a trip down memory lane! Muselk you are the entire reason I got into tf2 so thank you so so much!
I was like 14 when I started watching your content.
Although I have since grown out of the style of your content, I still hold respect for you. I remember being quite sad and actually upset at you when you moved on from TF2 but I can see your point of view nowadays. Call it burnout, content block, whatever; I respect the fact that you stopped when you didn't want to make TF2 content anymore. More so I respect the fact that even though the vast majority of your fanbase back then were TF2 players, you still took your chances and taking those risks paid off greatly. You reached success twice and that is something very inspiring.
he has returned

Ngl when i was a kid i used to watch your videos on tf2 then you started playing overwatch and i stopped. I never had a pc as a kid but i always loved watching tf2 videos (like team fabulous 2) but now as an adult i just hit 1000 hours on tf2 and im still loving this game like when i first watched your videos all those years ago. Welcome back to the family brother!!!
Muselk: "As well as great area of effect damage"
Also Muselk: Shows direct hit gameplay*
Thanks Muselk, I had a lot of fun with your videos and tf2 back in the day, glad to see you feel the same way
Dude the video is so good! I really like this indepth informative kinda vid and it was still entertaining too! You can really tell he put a lot of effort into it and it really paid off 👏
I'm not into CoD or fortnite so it always warms my heart to see muselk with a TF2 video every couple years. Can't wait for this year's Halloween event
You dont know how happy I was when I saw this video pop up. It brings sooo much good memories😊
Such a lovely, classic mussle milk throwback
I miss the good old days.
Known TF2 because of my man Muscle K here. Watched all of your vids from Spy trick stabs to Rocket Jumping antics. Loved the game and still do. And I'm glad that the legend is back at it
I really wish he would of uploaded this to his main channel. It would of gotten over 100s of thousands of views and covered way more viewership.
yet again, his main channel now only consists of fortnite which seems to be the main cash grab at the moment. however, it isn't as popular as it was back in 2018-19; i just really hope that he sticks to his original personality more than a more scripted version of himself, but that's just me
Yeah, and just picture all the people that join TF2 because of it. I'm not a fan of Fortniter kids, but more players is more players at the end of the day. If we can keep getting more generations of players into the game, TF2 will probably never die.
i mean tbf the fortnite kids today are the same as the kid i was when i first played tf2@@JeffarryLounder
@@waltss8896 I was too. But at-least the games we played were cultured and were arguably much better than what late Gen Z and Gen Alpha are growing up with to this day.
it is nice to see my boy muselk talk about this game and how it is still kicking (also it is nice to see him talk about solar knight and his demo knight videos)
Rocket jumping into landing on someone with a shovel is probably the most skilled gaming move in existence 😂
No major updates!?
DUDE!
The Seal, 14 new maps, A NEW GAME MODE, THE SEAL!? COME ON!
We even got a new game mode for Scream Fortress this year.
Thank you, Muselk for making this video and bringing me back to 2014.
when the first thing i did after school was watching your Tryhard Tuesday vids.
such good times
Couldn’t let that market garden clip from the Elmaxo vid go without mention could you
(I don’t blame you, it’s brilliant!)
I didn't expect a video like this from this channel but I loved it. I hope you do more scripted content, even if it's not about tf2.
It's crazy how most people now know you from overwatch or fortnite but I remember watching you play this game so long ago. I remember all the funny moments and hope there's some more
Cheaters, boters, haters and even Valve: How are you still alive?
TF2: "I didn't hear no bell!"
"I did not have permission to die!"
Valve on the surface has complete apathy to anything and everything
@@CharaGonzalez-lt7yw sounds like maybe the surface infected their internal stuff as well
I started watching this video not even recognizing your voice and then I saw your face. I haven't watched one of your videos since 2018 back when I played Fortnite in middle school. Goddamn muselk you're still just as good at making videos as you were back then. Keep up the great work
hope you make more tf2 videos in the future ive missed them all too much
Bit disappointed this isn't a main channel video, considering how much effort was invested into explaining a lot of stuff that we tf2 fans have been circlejerking about since forever and the fact that it already has more views than the majority of this years videos on his main.
Oh how I miss this muselk, its been 5+ years....he finally came back home
yes lets have an edging competition
It’s great to see you back on TF2 Muselk, such an amazing thing to see 😊
I have not watched a Muselk video in like 6-7 years but i'm glad this was the one UA-cam decided to reccommend to me. Agree with everything in this
The legend is back 🎉🎉🎉
You would not believe how happy I was to see the Elmaxo video with you. I remember when you moved on from TF2. I was sad, but I knew it had to happen. I'm... glad there's one final conclusion to this.
it’s refreshing to see muselk put his soul into this video, he actually seems like he’s enjoying making his content
wasnt expecting a muselk tf2 video anytime soon. Feels like a lifetime ago the last time he did one
Truly inspired me to re-download the game and play it again once more. Tf2 is and always will be my favorite game ever since I played it for the first time over 10 years ago
I’ve watched your tf2 videos since 2015. I remember I got into a game where you and tava were playing. Thanks for the memories and great videos muselk
The only thing that was missing from this video was the kill bind
I MISS YOU BABY
It feels weird to see you coming back to TF2 again, even if it's for a single video. But it's not an unwelcomed surprise.
Though to be honest, while it's people like DasBoSchitt, kitty0706, and others who had shown me TF2 through Gmod, you are among the first that has shown me TF2 through TF2. And while it may have sunset behind Overwatch and eventually Fortnite, I still reminisce the times you come in, Rocket Launcher blazing, hitting those God-Like Killstreaks.
Though I suppose the beginning portion showcases TF2's greatest strength, and in my opinion, the major reason why, even after the years of no true updates like Jungle Inferno, or Love & War, or MVM, or any updates of similar ilk, it's got to be the community's dedication to the game and its brand of humor. It's kind of like why Gen 4 MLP had survived for so long within the pop culture lexicon even as it did eventually sunset as well. They both hit just the right mark to becoming as big as they did, coming after the Wild West Age of the Internet, and before the Corporate Megacity Age of the Internet and the Great Sterilization. Where it isn't the corporate entity that dictates change and growth, but rather the community that surrounds the icon. Where cartoons can stay in stasis as people dedicate their time to talk about what makes it great, where old gems become more well known because of the greater speed of word of mouth. The two came in at the right time, and while TF2 might never bring in numbers like Overwatch or Fortnite will, I feel confident that TF2 can survive within our minds, even once the game itself dies. It is more than just iconic, it's a bonafide master piece of culture in the late 2000's and early 2010's.
Im so glad muselk finally got back and did a tf2 video.
Truly a legend and i think all of the tf2 community is dying for some more tryhard tuesdays...
don't worry mate I used to watch your vids many years ago when you were grinding tf2 back when I was trying to run the game on a HP laptop. Very fun
