Meet the Sniper

"Meet the Sniper" Video Transcriçao

Transcriçao

[A lone RV is driving down a desert road. Camera cuts to the dash, where a bobblehead of the former Civilian sits. A hand comes from offscreen and flicks the head.] Sniper: "Boom, headshot." ["Meet the Sniper" text appears. Cuts to the Sniper driving his RV as Valve's edited version of Magnum Force plays in the background.] Sniper: "Snipin's a good job, mate! It's challengin' work, outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry-" [Cuts to a shot of the Sniper brushing his teeth. There are three photographs on the right of his mirror of a BLU Engineer, Heavy, and Scout - the Engineer and the Scout are crossed off, but the Heavy is not.] Sniper "-'cause at the end of the day, long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead." [Scene cuts to view inside the Sniper's scope. The Sniper headshots the Heavy from the previous scene; the bullet shatters the Bottle of the Demoman behind him, causing the top half of the Bottle to embed itself in his remaining eye. The Demoman flails around, takes out his Grenade Launcher, fires grenades wildly in the air and falls over a ledge, with his stray grenades igniting a cluster of explosive barrels below and causing a chain explosion.] Sniper: "Ooh." [Cuts to the Sniper talking on a pay phone.] Sniper: "Dad? Dad, I'm a- Ye- Not a "crazed gunman", dad, I'm an assassin! ...Well, the difference bein' one is a job and the other's mental sickness!" [Back to Sniper in the RV.] Sniper: "I'll be honest with ya: my parents do not care for it." [Cuts to Sniper climbing the tall tower in Gold Rush Stage 3, Cap 1. The Sniper now is waiting at the top of the tower for a shot.] Sniper: [Glances away from his scope briefly to address the viewer] "I think his mate saw me." [A bullet ricochets off the ledge under the Sniper.] Sniper: "Yes, yes he did!" [The Sniper takes cover as return fire ricochets off the tower.] [Cuts to a time-lapse image of the Sniper waiting for a shot. Several jars of urine fill up to his side, as the Sniper drinks coffee and waits. As the sun starts to set, the Sniper smiles and finally takes his shot.] [The Sniper backstabs a Spy through the chest with his Kukri on Gold Rush Stage 3, then slides him off the Knife with a satisfied expression.] Sniper: "Feelins'? Look mate, you know who has a lot of feelings?" [Cut back to the RV] Sniper: "Blokes what bludgeon their wife to death with a golf trophy. Professionals have standards." [Sniper takes off his hat and puts it on his chest, standing over the dead Spy.] Sniper: "Be polite." [Sniper head-shots a Medic, a Soldier, and a Pyro.] Sniper: "Be efficient." [Slow-motion shot of the Sniper reloading his rifle.] Sniper: "Have a plan to kill everyone you meet." [The Sniper fires directly at the camera. The screen blacks out.] [Team Fortress 2 ending flourish music plays.] [Cut back to the pay phone.] Sniper: "Dad.... Dad p-, yeah - put Mum on the phone!"

Notes

• O Sniper esta dirigindo uma 'Camper', uma dica sutil ao seu estilo de jogo.

• Aquela bobblehead no painel da van é uma caricatura do Civilian de como ele aparece no original Team Fortress Classic.

• O letreiro no bem no inicio do video e atras do Sniper na parte que ele fala ao telefone pago aparece "FOAD: Camping Fun, All year round!" Isso referencia tanto ao estilo 'camper' de jogar que o Sniper tem como o acronimo : FOAD (Fuck Off And Die).

• O Pyro é visto usando a Flare Gun, um arma destravavel que não tinha sido revelada ao público na data que o video foi lançado.

• Os jarros de urina do Sniper sao as primeiras apariçoes do Jarate.

• A frase "Boom, headshot.", popularizada pelo personagem 'FPS Doug' nas series de comedia online Pure Pwnage, é comum ao genero de tiro em primeira pessoa.

• Os "padroes" do Sniper sao bem similares aos dos Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos Estados Unidos: "Be polite, be professional, have a plan to kill everyone you meet." (Seja educado, seja profissional, tenha um plano para matar todo mundo que voce encontrar)

• A musica do video é uma homenagem ao tema da Magnum Force.

• Um dos adesivos da Camper mostra "MY OTHER CAMPER IS A SWORD VAN!", uma referencia a um dos gibis do KC Green [1].

• Um bilhete colado no para-brisas da camper mostra "TAX IN POST", uma referencia a popular comedia Britanica 'Only Fools and Horses'.

• A van do Sniper tem o logo das series do Team Fortress no teto e sua placa de registro é 'HS 101'.

• Originalmente, A bobblehead do Civilian no painel da camper no inicio do video era a bobblehead do "Old Geezer" do poster "Old Geezer Draft Beer" achado dentro do jogo segurando uma garrafa de aguardente de damasco. Ele foi depois trocado porque a referencia que pretendia ser feita ficaria muito dificil para as pessoas entederem [2].

• A camper do Sniper é uma 1965 Land Rover Explorer e parece ter sido pintada em 'Sahara Dust.'

• O banner do titulo do video mostra "Copyright lololol" no canto inferior direito, uma piada recorrente em todos os "Meet the ..." vídeos.
