Well it's not exactly like F2P has been a mystery until Valve unlocked it.

Nor did I imply as much. Just saying that's the direction they've been heading in ever since they pretty much abandoned the single player genre and spent most of their time polishing/microtransactionatizing TF2.

Meet the Pyro has come out. Not worth new thread, so I figure I'll just post it here:



Finally the Meet the Team videos have come to an end. All in all the people responsible for them did a good job. Some of the early ones were pretty amateurish and campy, but the last three (pyro, medic and spy) were great.

Its better than anything other devs on that level put out.
Not only in looks but in characterization too.

Why would Valve work on Half-Life when designing hats for TF2 gives them so much more money for less effort? There will never be another Half-Life game, just face it.

Those are not negro features blindman.
Caucasian - Slavic with a touch of arabic or middle asian tones, maybe.

Yes, idiot, thats her father. Yet Alyx isnt completely black. So... dumbass... youre looking at Alyx mom there in that drawing.


-Thats why there is "Eli" on her jacket. THATS why Alyx has similar hairdo (but clearly different hair) - and thats why she dresses similarly and THATS WHY THEY LOOK ALIKE - while Alyx has negro features while her MOM does not!

Stupid kwanzian talking to me about ethnicity... :lol:
Embarrassing for me? Right.

What the hell do you think with "how old was she when she birthed her daughter"?
Are you a complete imbecile?
This is an illustration of a character. Not an in game model you fucking retard. It doesnt mean she would be exactly like this in the time frame where we saw Alyx and Gordon either. At least not naturally.

from wiki:

Alyx is the daughter of Dr. Eli Vance. Her mother, Azian Vance, who is of Asian descent, can be seen in a family photograph appearing in the games but died during the Black Mesa incident.

Black mesa incident was a completely unnatural thing. Made all those funny portals to other universes and stuff?
Possibilities...possibilities...

But no, the Valve just decided to change the visual look of one of its main characters for no fucking reason at all. Just so some imbecile calling himself Morgoth could say "Waaa!! They changed how Alyx looks!"

Thats not Alyx you moron! Look at the fucking pictures and compare!
Its either her mom or some other completely new character.
