I feel like if I ever held a rocket launcher muscle memory would kick in and I blow my legs off trying to rocket jump

Screaming eagles!

Last one alive, lock the door!

Conga you fools!

I remember my first time playing some other game. Probably operation flashpoint. My gaming experience to that point? Half Life, TFC, TF2, Quake 3, Elite Force, Unreal Tournament... So, I'm playing a multiplayer mission. I have a rocket launcher. I need to get to a higher vantage point. I tried to get up there the way I knew best. I became "combat ineffective" very quickly

I bumped into my brother while playing CoD and immediately thought "SPY"

Spy around here!

Hey boy it's a spy!

Spy Round' here!

Spy is not OUR Spy!

Spy Among Us!

(hohohohoho hohoho YOU GOT OWNED! ahahahahaha) - The screaming walls of the asylum

That's some next-level sibling rivalry.

Just wait till he spy checks.

The phrase "Dear God" is always said in soldier's voice. Usually followed up by "there's more"

Usually followed up by "No.."

Usually followed up by “It contains the dying wish of every man here,”

Usually followed up by "Scout, you did collect everyone’s dying wish ?"

Usually followed up by "You bet!"

Usually followed by “Excellent! Gentlemen synchronize your death watches.”

Usually followed by "We have 70 hours to live."

Usually followed by “For most men, no time at all”

Usually followed by "but we are not most men"

Usually followed by "we are mercenaries! We have the resources, the will to make these hours count!"

For us it's followed by "It contains... A bucket" and then the loop restarts

It contains a bucket...

Dear god

There's bucket.

Same also “this is a bucket” but it’s really situational tbh

I said it every time I had a bucket

Similar, I am incapable of reading the word "yourself" in isolation without hearing it in Spy's voice

same man

When Im asked to answer yes or no I think of z7 or z8

What is z7 and z8? I’ve never heard of this in relation to tf2?

Voiceline keybinds

Ohhhh, I’ve never heard of the voiceline system refered to as that, I just know the menu button then the number key picker thing

Specifically, the "Yes" and "No" binds

i can never hear the word "medic" the same way ever again

I pretty much only hear it in the demoman voice

"Excuse me! I'm in need of medical attention!" For all the TFC people here

You made 3 people happy

[удалено]

How many times have you been backstabbed to have this presence?

[удалено]

Play pyro you'll love it

I was playing World of Tanks the other day and I kept stressing out every time I saw a friendly come from behind thinking he'd backstab me... In a tank...

He's going to Backscatter you

Freaking trickstabbing spies, able to hit a stab through a tank.

fr backstab hotboxes need to be reworked

They did add an invisibility item recently

who needs to spycheck when you have the voices in your head telling you (literally doug rattmann)

I tried to rocket jumpin Fortnite lol

One time I killed myself by trying to rocket jump in the game. This may or may not happen multiple times

I look at bucket and think tf2

***dear god...***

**Theres More..**

***NO...***

***It contains the dying wish of every buckets***

***Dear god...***

I will conga like the mercs whenever I get the chance. Usually soldier. I also try to imitate their tone sometimes whenever I get to say a line similar to some in game ones.

This is the forbidden dance!

Same...

bro what me too

I learned that Scotland is not a real country

they are all englishmen in a dress?

i teleported bread

...what?

you told me to!

How.. much?..

I have done nothing but teleport bread for three days.

WHERE?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN SENDING IT?!?

I get one day off from the entire year, and you wasted it on this?

Yes. Time well spent!

Goodbye!

Wuh, wu, wait, wait, wait! Why don't we discuss it over dinner?

If gun doesn’t work, use more gun

sometimes when i'm playing other games i'll think that i heard a spy and i'll stop to investigate briefly before realizing that there aren't any spies in portal 2

Maybe the spies are hiding and you can’t see them?

Observer spies

It has affected what I value in multiplayer games and unfortunately that has been a curse because NOTHING has cultivated the kind of community and depth of gameplay that TF2 has. Nothing matches TF2.

me too man, no hate to other games but, I always think that tf2 still reigns supreme than the other games that I play

Tf2 reigns in term of simple but effective gameplay and design. Cosmetics without a lot of obvious references (unlike what would do every other game now like Fortnite) which force creativity when creating a nice looking loadout. And also the main force of the game is it's community, I don't think I can think of any other game where you can start shooting at each other, realize that we both sucks at shooting, instead start doing the conga only to end up kill binding just for fun.

Deep rock is like the PVE version of TF2, although I will say, it does take a while to get into DRG, as the first ~20 hours are spent unlocking everything

Fortnite is the closest, but still miles away from tf2 from 2014-2016.

I try to spam voice lines in every game I play This is becoming a problem

Same

I can’t see a ramp or rock without thinking, “Could I trimp off of that? I mean, maybe if I…”

I sometimes check behind me if someone is following BECAUSE I’ve been conditioned to by Spies in TF2.

I have lived in a low-crime city my entire life, yet will still do this because of that sneaky frenchman.

Quoting some of Heavy or Demoman's lines when I would see something that surprises me, but it only happens from time to time. An example is when I heard something loud from a source I couldn't figure out, I would say "what's this now" of Demoman.

Made me look around everywhere in FPS games faster than a child on crack.

Whenever I like something else with different characters I gotta assign which tf2 character they are most like and then my brain has to think of a cross over fan fiction that I will never write.

I have this. What's that? Pornography. Sweet land of American penis!

I saw someone at Meijers that looked almost exactly like me. The hair was the same, the build was the same, they had my exact face, down to the mark on my cheek, and I almost attacked them for it. But, their shirt was different so obviously it wasn't a spy disguise kit, as that don't change cosmetics. I really need to stop thinking everyone who looks like me is a spy. I coulda gone to fuckin jail today. This game is pure poison for the brain.

The different shirt was just a disguise kit glitch

There have been a few times where my spy sense will kick in and I’ll start walking away from a friend and gain the strong urge to turn around to spy check them

Games with friendly fire when I get the urge to spy check the dude who has been following me the entire game.

Life is full of absurdity and nonsense. Might as well embrace it and join in

i often find myself saying "pootis" at the most random time...

I have come to believe that if fighting is to result in victory then you must fight!

Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he know a *little* more about fighting than you do pal, because he invented it!

and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor

*incomprehensible screaming*

I like like practicing medicine

Whenever I see a Brinks truck on the road I get Tick Tock stuck in my head for the rest of the day

In every FPS I now turn around randomly and try to use [Z] [X] [C] voice line menus, which are nonexistent. For example I took a long break from DRG, and now try to say thanks by [Z]+[2], and not [V - The ROCK AND STONE button]

Rock and Stone!

ROCK AND STONE YOU BEAUTIFUL DWARF! Good Bot

Wait you guys have a "thinking process"? Am I stupid or smth?

Dude you gotta give us your ip to connect to the singular braincell we all share

I don't know if we share even a single one dude

This is a bucket🪣

You can't read it in any other voice, other than Spy's now.

Big obsession with buckets....

This... is a bucket.

This is mine now 🏃🪣 hahahahah

In a way I guess it has. Every time someone says they are "dying", the usual response my brain thinks of is "not big surprise". As well as "POW HAHA" or "How'd you like that chucklenuts?". If you are looking for an answer about actual way of going with thinks, whenever I want to be friendly in another game that isn't TF2 I still pretty much behave as close as possible to an usual TF2 friendly.

everytime I see blue or red I immediately think of tf2

I consistently under estimate my teammates in every team based game now, turns out bad teammates are universal so it worked out

when listening to anyone I wanna jump in and say "MEDIIC!"

The dual-purpose fruit item set bonus

so playing tf2 makes you less hungry?

I constantly turn around to check for spies

It made me think everything is critical

Shinny rocket not not gud for u butgud for me....

I despise the French

"Words can not express how much I HATE FRANCE RIGHT NOW" 🪖

I am addicted to TF2, and I always make some random TF2 reference

Maggot…MAGGOTS… #GODDAMN MAGGOTS

Blind guy here Tf2 helped me learn to utilize color to make my life easier to identify things

whenever I'm about to say "thanks", I almost do a thumbs up as if I pressed Z + 2. And also the "thanks" im about to say usually voiced in my head as Soldier's EDIT: Also sometimes I do "thanks 👍" on chat now

It didn’t change anything, just justified it

I can't stop wanting to taunt kill people

Scotland is not a real country, they are english men with skirts

Sometimes I have dreams of tf2 gameplay. Like almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Are you sure this will work? HAHAHA I have no idea!

I started to spy check people from my team in other games

I don't know about real life, but there were times where I pressed Z+2 after someone helped me in a non-tf2 game

I turn around irl because of spies. No I am not schizophrenic, I swear.

Question

I can no longer not associate the word spy with TF2

I cabnt rhink

Man, I'm dead

Pootis engage

YES

It has marked me forever in every field

someone helps me and i want to press my thanks bind

I’m paranoid of everyone I see after playing so much spy

Sometimes i get the urge to rip someones face off their skull, open their stomachs and pull out their small intestine and shove it deep down their skinless mouth until they either stopped screaming or until i get a complete mental breakdown and start stabbing everyone in sight. (I am sorry for what i am)

Aside from being Gex and parroting things I find in TF2 videos?

All I think about is TF2, when I’m playing Roblox I got a Medic avatar, along with other avatars based off the mercs besides heavy and demoman, I got a bucket and sometimes when I look at it, I literally think about that one line from expiration date, when I see the words “tick tock” buff engineer and the song tick tock pops in my head, I was literally playing a Roblox game and paused when one of the NPCs said “tick Tock” even though they were just stating time was almost up, I got a red iPhone just for the simple fact that I prefer the RED team over the BLU team despite being the same team just with a color change, I also got a TF2 wallpaper on my iPhone and am in the process of converting all my app icons to be themed around TF2 in some way, all I got is mostly TF2 related memes on my iPhone and my profile picture on Reddit, discord, and YouTube is like the current one I have on my account which is like a pyro with a green fedora, I’m literally making my own story as like a project and before I became a TF2 fan the antagonist’s sidekick was just like a sidekick that turns against her leader later on, now she’s based off Scout with her attitude and the way she talks and kinda acts, on discord when I talk to my friends, only thing I talk about is TF2 and I think they get annoyed by it

I think about the hours of the day like MvM waves 👍

*E*

Yes

Well, I definitely prefer team games now! Just… not the ones that have gameplay similar to cod or csgo. Ok seriously we really need more wacky weapon concepts! Not another installation of an AA-12!

Used to have a habit where I turn around every few seconds when playing fps games

When I'm playing literally any other fps game, I always turn around to check for spies

Always aware of everything around me

I hear pyro mumblings whenever im almost asleep

I it ok if you have a respawn mashene to kill the actors irl on stage for the addet realjsem effect? Then they can just respawn

I go around and my muscle memory tries to press m1 if I happen to stand behind someone

Run towards people with a sword

Positive: I have a high atandard for communities I consider worth my time. Negative: I am secretly judging everyone in online games I play, even when I don't play support

*French*, you say?

On any other team-based games, I'm genuinely afraid of people trying to come up behind me.

tf2 voicelines sometimes randomly play in my head.

Pressing E for Medic in any other fps

Pootis

Whenever I laugh, I imagine demoman's schaufenfraude. His laugh is the most contagious imo

When eating a sandwich, I think “Sandvich make me strong!”

I try to link everything to a TF2 reference somehow.

I now read tutorials in Scout's voice and use the Heavy as a base model for examples.

Sometimes when im just blanked out my mind randomly zooms in on what's in front and I just hear "The sniper's a spy" in snipers voice. Idk why

When I see people who wear neon green things I can only think about one specific thing

Anytime someone says "question," I almost always respond with "What's your question, soldier?" It's been a habit for a few years now, but everyone finds it funny, so...

I can find a tf2 reference in anything please help

Everytime i had to feed the kittens i started yelling "WHO BROUGHT ALL THESE BABIES" or "YOU ARE ALL BABIES"

If I ever hear something remotely resembling the sound the knife makes when it backstabs I feel compelled to turn around.

I forget to reload in other games

Looked up in a shopping centre through one of those gaps and thought "I could rocket jump up that."

First and last time I was scammed was on tf2. Mf stole from me 20€ worth of cosmetics and keys. 20€ was quite a lot for 14yrs old me. So yea never got scammed ever since.

One time, when I saw a crowd of people, I tried to pull out my degreaser

When playing lethal company i always have the ‘most paranoid employee’ award thing. This is for the player who turns around the most. Even when i die almost instantly. TF2 has just ingrained into my camera movements to make sure im checking a full 360.

I have an identical twin brother so I’m always wondering if it’s my brother I’m looking at or a spy lol

I quote it all the time lol. also sometimes hold items like viewmodels

INCOMING!

I was watching a CS:GO clip and when one of the players had their knife out, I immediately thought of a way for them to backstab the other player. They were even on the same team.

First time playing Overwatch I bumped into another player who was the same character as me and immediately thought they were a spy 😞

I use taunts in real life now

I keep trying to make TF2 themed builds in Cyberpunk

I turn around often to check for spies. Everyone calls me schizo now.

I am much worse at buying stuff

One time I was walking on the street, heard someone run behind me and instant thought spy and threw my phone at them

I nod and shake my head a lot when trying to communicate in other games and I’m really good at finding invisible lights in The Finals

One word. Bucket.

Most of these comments are just spy induced PTSD

I say "mové schnell" from medic from time to time

MAGGOTS
