For those who dont understand it's a common bug where some kill affects like hats falling off and blood play in places and times that they don't belong.
He lives! Seriously though, I love the content, man. But you haven't posted much, but that doesn't really matter. It just adds more wait. I love the content, and I am excited for more future stuff. Have a great day, and have a good life
0:18 Love the addition of a hat just randomly popping into existence with no explanation or any acknowledgement, one of the many little Source Engine oddities that happen all the time while playing and you often don't ever even notice it. Such attention to detail.
Frfr No matter if the Pyro saved the round or has .5 hours of game they kick him for no reason just like me and my fellow Frontier Justice enjoyers for using it. . . . Man. . . If i'm getting surrounded by Spies i need to kill them as i'm not waiting for y'all to save my ass

the random gibus that spawns 18 seconds in is actually my favourite part because it's such a specific bug to tf2 that not many people talk about i love everything about this
"How would you rate your last game - like we give a shit" and "Our own developers don't want us to play" hit so hard with what's happening to the game right now.
This is eye-wateringly good. It singlehandedly made me give TF2 a second chance, and I think I'm in love this time. I've listened to it -tens- hundreds of times in the past few days and it completely replaced the voices at this point
I am always burned out, I am very rarely looking forward to playing tf2, and yet, its just what I do every day. half an hour after dinner, every day, is reserved for tf2, its just part of the daily routine. I hate every match, yet I dont want to play anything else

Honestly it’s impressive that you manage to maintain the same flow even with the altered lyrics. Especially with the lyrics actually being funny, on point, and relevant unlike some other parodies/covers.
A lot of parody lyrics just try to match rhyming schemes, but forget to also match the poetic meter of the original words. Which leads to lyrics being sung to the same tune, but lacking the same rhythym as the original, which makes the whole thing feel "wrong".
“For content we’re on top” is the most true thing I’ve heard all day, I’ve been making a tf2 meme every day for over four months and I get over 40 each time, I’m so good in fact the the owner of the official tf2 community on this website invited me to be a moderator, tf2 is amazing 0:49
The creator made a FAQ post about this video. The spy colour was something he had tried, but some of the factors that pushed them away from it were that under the blue light, it would look greyish, and he thought of the spy as being a good static element to the video with everything happening around him. His FAQ post itself is super cool. loved the extra info in it about the creation process.

This is great! I’m quite new to TF2 (installed around dec 2022) but I already love it, and I’m so happy that even if this game is 17 years old (older than me, yikes) there are still people so creative and dedicated that still make videos about it. I like this cover, it’s a good cover and it includes some of the highest highs I have had while playing (I got a triple kill with a random crit while soldier bombing just yesterday lol), but also the greatest issues (voice chat is not enabled on this account).

You know, it wasn’t always like this. Not very long ago, just before your time, Right before the bots raised hell, ‘Round 2009, There were Class Updates, Hats for days, a game mode or two. We aimed down sights and spent our nights Playing.
TF2! Yes... Insatiable too! Valve let us make them more maps, The game was barely 2! And we did all the things that they asked us to do... Now look at us...
"You know, it wasn't always like this" "Not very long ago, before you joined TF2." "Right before the bot invasions" "Back before '19" "There were amateurs" "Friendly servers" "And a few tryhards" "We played the game but now its lame" "Because" "Of THEM, THEM, insatiable THEM" "They got just a bit too salty" "And made a new account or two" "And they did all the things," "That they weren't supposed to do" I cant think of more lyrics to add, but its a start imo
Lyrics: "Now look at you... look at you" "You... you! Unstoppable, unkickable you!" "Your time is now, the new crates are out, and the bots run free" "And if we stick together, maybe we can fix tf2" "It was always the plan, to put a fortress in your hands"
this doesnt fit the original song's idea. you see, in the original song, instead of the human singer (Bo Burnham), there is a some kind of an entity that represenets The Internet. in the original song, the entity sings about itself to the viewer and then at the bridge sings about the viewer, in this part entity first introduces the false idea that it was always doing everything to please the viewer and put the world in the viewer's hand, but at the end of the bridge the entity starts maniacally laughing to then reveal that it never cared about the viewer and makes it clear that it was the one in control the whole time, shaping the viewer's insatiable dependancy on The Internet, winning its current position a long time ago before the viewer was even born. The Entity, or The Internet, was never by your side, and it already owned you before you could do anything about it. the lyrics you suggested just make it seem like the one singing is a TF2 fan telling TF2's story with bitterness, instead of an Entity, which removes the original song's idea entirely.
@@dustin202 i didnt mean to insult you nor did i mean it in a mean-spirited way man . im just pointing out that the original song had a different vibe, thats it. not saying that your lyrics are bad either if you assumed that.
There's a handful of TF2 videos that do a great job of encapsulating how playing TF2 used to feel back in 2011. This is the first one I've seen that does such a good job of capturing the 2024 experience. Very well done
I see a lot of people praising a specific lyric or the FOV thing,but I just want to highlight how amazing the entire sequence from 1:14 to 1:40 is. The visuals,music and the gags in the lyrics come together with amazing and rapid pacing that in my opinion makes the best part of this song come together. Well done,hats (no pun intended) off to you HintShot.
Not very long ago Updates weren't unseen All before the jungle burned Circa seventeen We had brand new maps And contracts A weapon or two We set our sights, And spent our nights Waiting For news News Bare minimum news
@@Chowdonut Valve would hit us with a blog post Share insights with you And when updates arrived You know what we would do We'd see what's new Play what's new New Neeeew Cool weapons, maps, skins, and hats The updates came, we played our game, For friends there's always room! If the fun lasts forever, we'll share it with you. It was always our aim To make the most of this game.
Unironically one of the best TF videos I've ever seen as a player since 2012. Genius lyrics and editing with a smooth addictive melody. Loved the FOV 90 and autobalance parts! God bless your talents.
I am personally disturbed by how well the lyrics are made because of the accuracy at the reality you mentioned I have ignored for so long, love the edit!
Unironically super catchy, and thank you for using your nice and natural singing voice instead of any of those crappy AI tools (I thought it would be and was pleasantly surprised when it wasn’t). Very nice :)
You know it wasn't always like this Not very long ago, just before your time Long before inferno fell circa year 09 This was mvm... and sfms, a two fort or two... we scorned our beds and clicked on heads waiting... for you... you... animational you brother put you on the keyboard didn't know what to choose and you watched all the guides hoping you wouldn't lose It was always the plan to put the game in your hand *spy main laughing in french*

Yes... Insatiable too!
Valve let us make them more maps,
The game was barely 2!
And we did all the things that they asked us to do...
Now look at us...

Which game?
It accurately depicts a casual player's descent into hats, disappointment, and tryharding. Well done.
1:34 that “like we give a shiiiiiiiiiiiit” was heavenly
1:52 the shadow people have found him
"You know, it wasn't always like this"
"Not very long ago, before you joined TF2."
"Right before the bot invasions"
"Back before '19"
"There were amateurs"
"Friendly servers"
"And a few tryhards"
"We played the game but now its lame"
"Because"
"Of THEM, THEM, insatiable THEM"
"They got just a bit too salty"
"And made a new account or two"
"And they did all the things,"
"That they weren't supposed to do"
I cant think of more lyrics to add, but its a start imo
This should be top comment. We need more lyrics. Also I realize I've broken this, so I'm add lyrics later.
Lyrics:
"Now look at you... look at you"
"You... you! Unstoppable, unkickable you!"
"Your time is now, the new crates are out, and the bots run free"
"And if we stick together, maybe we can fix tf2"
"It was always the plan, to put a fortress in your hands"
this doesnt fit the original song's idea. you see, in the original song, instead of the human singer (Bo Burnham), there is a some kind of an entity that represenets The Internet. in the original song, the entity sings about itself to the viewer and then at the bridge sings about the viewer, in this part entity first introduces the false idea that it was always doing everything to please the viewer and put the world in the viewer's hand, but at the end of the bridge the entity starts maniacally laughing to then reveal that it never cared about the viewer and makes it clear that it was the one in control the whole time, shaping the viewer's insatiable dependancy on The Internet, winning its current position a long time ago before the viewer was even born. The Entity, or The Internet, was never by your side, and it already owned you before you could do anything about it.
the lyrics you suggested just make it seem like the one singing is a TF2 fan telling TF2's story with bitterness, instead of an Entity, which removes the original song's idea entirely.
@@regi5436 ok then, you do it, since you have a better grasp
@@dustin202 i didnt mean to insult you nor did i mean it in a mean-spirited way man . im just pointing out that the original song had a different vibe, thats it. not saying that your lyrics are bad either if you assumed that.
We, the people, need a low-resolution gif of the spy playing from 2:07 onwards.
I've only discovered this video now. It's truly a gem, well done you should be very proud.
this is a true masterpiece, good lyrics that make sense, especially the "Like we give a shit" part lmao
There's a handful of TF2 videos that do a great job of encapsulating how playing TF2 used to feel back in 2011. This is the first one I've seen that does such a good job of capturing the 2024 experience. Very well done
1:26 that part hit hard for no reason whatsoever💀💀
This is the most cozy sfm I've seen in life, jeez, savetf2 was almost half a year ago...and it feels like i signed the petition yesterday...
“Our own developers don’t want us to play”
Welcome to Team Fortress, for content we’re on top!

“How would you rate your last game? Like. We. Give. A. Shit” Best lyric ever
"Here's a weapon you've already found a hundred thousand time"
Funniest line to me 😂
That Detonator whistle fit perfectly 1:44
The hat glitch was an amazing touch
When is it?
0:18
Nice ryhmes, mate
I see a lot of people praising a specific lyric or the FOV thing,but I just want to highlight how amazing the entire sequence from 1:14 to 1:40 is.
The visuals,music and the gags in the lyrics come together with amazing and rapid pacing that in my opinion makes the best part of this song come together. Well done,hats (no pun intended) off to you HintShot.
Yeah It's the best part for me too. It's like the Spy is trying to not loosing it with all modern tf2 bs
"How would you rate your last game, like we give a shit" 🔥 🔥
In both the original song and this that sequence is always my favorite
@@aesthepro420
"Your killstreak would look better if it had, a, ran, dom, crit"
Amazingly done job mate
Details, nitpicks and references are top notch.
"You know, it wasnt always like this...."
Not very long ago. Just before you were born...
"Not very long ago, just before your time..."
Not very long ago,
before overwatch
the game had community, and updates galore
There were far less bots
Huntsman shots
Jerma versus STAR...
Not very long ago
Updates weren't unseen
All before the jungle burned
Circa seventeen
We had brand new maps
And contracts
A weapon or two
We set our sights,
And spent our nights
Waiting
For news
News
Bare minimum news
@@Chowdonut
Valve would hit us with a blog post
Share insights with you
And when updates arrived
You know what we would do
We'd see what's new
Play what's new
New
Neeeew
Cool weapons, maps, skins, and hats
The updates came, we played our game,
For friends there's always room!
If the fun lasts forever, we'll share it with you.
It was always our aim
To make the most of this game.
Unironically one of the best TF videos I've ever seen as a player since 2012. Genius lyrics and editing with a smooth addictive melody. Loved the FOV 90 and autobalance parts! God bless your talents.
this is so kind thank you
I am personally disturbed by how well the lyrics are made because of the accuracy at the reality you mentioned I have ignored for so long, love the edit!
Unironically super catchy, and thank you for using your nice and natural singing voice instead of any of those crappy AI tools (I thought it would be and was pleasantly surprised when it wasn’t). Very nice :)
The randomly spawning hat has to be my favorite detail from this video, great job!
This is insane. I love this from the voice skills to the animation. This is perfection, thanks for making this
Seeing that Watcher spy with the creepy camera load out show up and vanish quickly at the first camera change was kind of spooky XD
1:15
You know it wasn't always like this
Not very long ago, just before your time
Long before inferno fell
circa year 09
This was mvm... and sfms,
a two fort or two...
we scorned our beds and clicked on heads
waiting... for you... you...
animational you
brother put you on the keyboard
didn't know what to choose
and you watched all the guides hoping you wouldn't lose
It was always the plan to put the game in your hand
*spy main laughing in french*
Nice addition!
if this doesn't blow up, TF2 is officially dead. This is ART.
Now this, This is art. And the FOV joke definitely got me cause that was beautiful.
1:18 missed opportunity to change him to red for the rest of the video
