In case you haven’t noticed, we released a “Meet the Scout” video recently:
TEAM ROOMBA PRESENTS: Meet the Scout
Our TF2 server (tf2.2fort2furious.com - 209.62.27.83) is host to TF2 Karaoke, a mod written by FLOOR_MASTER. We’ve been steadily releasing videos of the ensuing horrorshow on our new YouTube account, 2fort2furious:
“Arriving at the initial crest of enthusiasm toward Valve’s Team Fortress 2, Team Roomba’s video showing an array of petty, hilarious and oft imaginative cruelty was an immediate memetic sensation. Griefing is usually little more than plain sadism; but with the right soundtrack and frame-perfect editing, Team Roomba’s videos have turned it into - whisper it - a kind of comedy performance. Or, at least, something other than just being a douchebag.”
Highlights of the article: I get namedropped and FLOOR_MASTER’s and Jer’s real life names are revealed! I recommend you gander on over there and give it a read!
After evaluating the two leading viable Stage6 competitors, Veoh and Vimeo, I have decided to post the high-quality versions of our videos at Vimeo, despite Stage6’s endorsement of Veoh.
Both Vimeo and Veoh re-encode uploads (something that degrades the quality significantly). Veoh has slightly better picture quality, but reduces the framerate to a stuttering, jerky mess. Vimeo has slightly worse picture quality, but maintains a smooth framerate.
Veoh for some reason collapses the audio into mono, but Vimeo preserves stereo sound.
Vimeo, however, is the clear winner because they provide a link to download the original AVI file that I upload. While Stage6 was still better in the sense that they streamed the original AVI file to the viewer, Vimeo is an acceptable alternative.
Commenter NiteCyper found time in his BUSY SCHEDULE to transcribe our latest video. Here it is, reproduced in full with minor corrections: NiteCyper says…
I am proud to present, the transcription of More TF2 Griefing. As told by NiteCyper. I have no life. Italics won’t transfer.
(0 - 0:06)[Pyro standing beside trapped Sniper, Medic and Soldier:] Do you think that uh… he’s glitched, or is he being a douchebag?
(8 -10)[Medic:] I think it’s a little of column A, a little of column B.

Click here for awesome gameplay footage. It’s on Stage6, which is basically a High-Def High-Quality version of Youtube. If it asks you to install a plug-in, you should do it. The video is totally worth it.
However, if you still want to be completely dumb I split it up into two Youtube videos.”
