FAQ:
Q: How did you make that? What editing software do you use?
A: I use Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro & After Effects. Photoshop for image editing and thumbnails. Premiere Pro for compositing and After Effects for motion graphics (the fancy animations).

  1. i made a follow up video looking at the code they wrote in more depth 🙂 https://youtu.be/T-BoDW1_9P4

  2. Team fortress 2: Pretty flawless with very little major bugs
    TF2 Developers:
    Honestly this just proves how good the devs are.

  3. As a software developer myself, I felt the frustration with each comment. You can tell the team was under a huge crunch and just “got it working” when the deadline approached.

    I feel you, software devs…I feel you

  4. "Yes, disabling Skynet's moral restraints would make him batshit insane. Too bad!"











    "Actually, we also need to disable his self-preservation routines."

  5. I absolutely love how it's all justified by claiming its just a temporary fix, but quit obviously it became the final version.

  6. Luckily if I ever tried getting a PR merged with those comments they'd immediately get flagged and changes requested.

    Ah, the life of a web developer who isn't working soul crushing hours to get a half working game out the door.

  7. Is this TF2 code? Is it still fked up, or are these comments from years ago and they managed to fix it all? TF2 is a pretty big free game so I'm assuming they fixed it…?
