i think this is my favorite tf2 documentary i've seen so far, mostly because it focused on why tf2 is fun and its not just an hour long thing about we dont get the support we deserve. My only critique is that I wish you went over what exactly the cool movement things are in tf2 like what a speedshot is and how airstrafing works

yeah i regret not talking more about how airstrafing works, i feel like that would've been an important foundation for ppl to work with.

i struggled a lot in the movement and strategy sections with how to demonstrate depth without it getting boring or overly explanatory for non-tf2 players, and settled on ideas that were more "show don't tell." but ur right, a section dissecting a speedshot or some other tech would've been so good and i wish i thought of it :((

but aside from that, i've been a spectator of the scene for so long and have been familiar with all these people/names in a sorta parasocial way, and it's so surreal to receive such heartfelt responses from you all. every comment i get from comp players puts a smile on my face

thank u for all the kind words, i'm glad i did a good enough job highlighting what makes this game so special

Watched it this morning, amazing video very well made. Glad to have been part of this games journey. And as another 10k'r i agree that it was my friends and the unique gameplay that kept me going that whole time. That was as a former player my favorite section of the video for sure.

I really appreciated the way you displayed the contrast of skilled and intuitive movement against what people think is going on with just random a-d-a-d spam. Thank you for this entire video, it's wonderful.
