Alex Petraglia from Primotech has reported on the talk given by Jason Mitchell, one of Valve’s leading graphics engineers, on Team Fortress 2’s art style and visual technology. There is a lot of interesting stuff in there, especially if you’re interested in the game development side of things.

The real payload though, are the details on the “Meet The Scout” video that should be out in the next couple of weeks from Valve. There is even an MP3 recording of the whole session. Although you can’t see the Scout video, you CAN hear the audio of it - albeit a little muffled. Skip forward to about 43:00. They play it again a little later in as well.

There is a separate write up just on the Meet The Scout video as well.

“Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother…I hurt people.”

There seems to be a lot of Heavy abuse by the sounds of all the screaming.
