Mass AI by EvilDaedalus
This is one that I’ve been hearing about all day, so I figured I’d have to get up off my slack non-postingness of late and you know… post it.
JustAConspiracy emailed me waxing on about the greatness of it
Or rather, a video if you don’t watch a rabid mongoose will come and rape your cat.
This is just one of those things that you have to spread to the world.
I heard about it from C4Cypher of the TF2F community:
You remember watching the Matrix? The good one? The first one? What made that film so cool? For me it was the fact that the film treated our reality as a simulation. A simulation with rules. Rules that could be bent. Rules that could be broken.EvilDaedalus has brought us something unique, scripting bots in such a way to give a similar effect as watching the matrix film for the first time.
And then UC regular pinko chimed in over gtalk:
This video was incredimazing. A new word that I had to make up for just this video. These TF2 art videos are always really cool…
And from the man himself
Gotta love Propane nightmares. Awesome song. Happened that I was messing around with bots when I first heard it and the thought of making this vid just popped into place.
More mirrors will be posted here: http://www.mantaengie.com/2008/11/23/tf2-mass-ai/
Sorry, I’m not going to explain how it works, stop asking. =P
About the donation request at the end: Manta Engie is paid for out of my pocket right now, and I’d like it if became self-sufficient. What I’m saying is that it’s unlikely that I will ask for donations again as all donations go towards maintaining the site.
Of course EvilDaedalus is no stranger to awesomeness and TF2 videos.
So anyway, here it is. Don’t try this at home.
Stumble it!

Awesome. More words to describe the video are redundant.
Oh, and I love te song, too.

E…P…I…C
Nothing is summed up quite so well by those four letters as this. That, sir, is art.
I am moved beyond words.

Hah!
“Watch where?…

… am I gonna die?…”

Wow!, epic
SirMax responded on 25 Nov 2008 at 3:47 am #
that was epic. My only complaint is I would have liked a following camera for the heavy taunt chain instead of jumping from camera to camera

Holy cow.
HOLY COW.
This… Is pure perfection.

My only question is what are the ecological ramifications of releasing a Spycrab CUBE on the world…
Also, I don’t know if it was intentional, but the double-tower of spies performing the knife taunt reminded me of a spine. Pretty ironic, considering the very purpose of the knife.
All in all, this was a work of pure, crispy WIN.

All of those poor medics tried to defy the train god and failed horribly.

Massive SpyCrab… epic

It was entertaining to watch his use of bots.
Slipstream responded on 25 Nov 2008 at 7:50 am #
Despite the numerous appearances of my old nemesis, the Train God, this is nothing short of excellence. It’s mesmerizing to see all those bots in perfect synchronization as well as the multiple amazing stunts pulled.
Unbelievable and unrivaled.

Oh my god…
It’s the Spy Crab Cube!
Train God, Announcer and now the Spy Crab Cube?
We have immortal beings popping up every post now…

That was sooooo amazing. Kudos to Daedalus for another amazing TF2 video!

Oh, my, God
Words cannont describe how insane that video was

The pain train, done the way it was intended

The spy crab cube is the pinnacle of awesome as we know it.

I can’t believe he didn’t include a mass-pimpwalk into the crater in Goldrush.

How does the scout survive the onslaught of needles?

One word,
Epic.
Mooman responded on 25 Nov 2008 at 7:10 pm #
If he can surpass this, he deserves a job doing this. As what I don’t know, but still. Occupation.
“…Am I gonna die?”
Extra 20 cool points for one of my favourite bands as the music.

Concentrated Essence of WIN. Loved the spycrab cube.

Hehehe.
Good show, Daedalus, good show.

Those rockets should replace the fountains at the Bellagio…
Like water, but explodey!
Totally awesome video, Daedalus.

YAY!

I find delight in the fact that some of that video involved unsuspecting participants, and perhaps a little envy. How fun would it be to stare at a all and then turn around and see an absolute curtain of rockets/needles/pipes hurtling towards your soon-to-be-gibbed face?
