Great use of the various music instrument taunts and in-game voicelines to neatly tie a little plot together. Also, working the Scout's bongos neatly into the existing TF2 music piece is a perfect example of diegetic music.

Good ending, too, it literally ends on a bang...and a squelch.

animation could be better

I might make a "Director's cut" later, which features some of the missing scenes (which will likely be once I finally fix the sequence problems .

Still, don't count on it, since I have other projects to work on.

Zote, funnily enough, There WAS a scene with the Surgeon's squeezebox in a previous draft (among other taunts), but I cut it out due to the time limit alongside a few other reasons.

Now time to add surgeon squeezebox and that will be perfect

Wonderful design, loved it - probably one of the funnest videos Ive seen in a very long time (3-4 years)
