Real quick: respect to the dudes I sampled, no harm meant. The dialogue was edited for the track; it's way out of context with the original videos they came from. Don't be a dumbass, go check out where the stuff came from before you start thinking that your boy dishonoured the TF2 family. (Actually, let 'em leave the TF2 house if they need to. Give 'em some room.)
When OW had its 1st beta wave, a lot of TF2 competive players would put "TF2 Pro Plays Overwatch" or some meme like that to get more hits in their stream. Meanwhile, TF2 fans panicked about how all these TF2 players were leaving to go play OW. Eventually after the first wave of hype, TF2 launched its own competitive beta to compete against OW - but is it enough? Thus, this song was butchered & rewritten in order to convey that good ol' OW vs. TF2 jimmy-rustling nerdrage.
Mad props to Doug for mixing this! Big shoutouts as well to Architect, Strash, Met, Speeder, Sedi, Deton, & anybody who's helped with models. You the real Play of the Game. Also, shoutout to Blizzard and Valve. I like both these games, thank you for the betas, and thank you for nerfing Genji.
LYRICS:
I saw you playing at Insomnia 52 Bombing the Med when you were rolling out on BLU Remember when I gave my POV to you? (Oh-a-oh)
But now that demo won't be getting a review We know it's been 9 years, nobody could blame you I guess I understand the thrill of something new
(Oh-a-oh) It's worse than we feared (Oh-a-oh) We thought you'd stay here
Overwatch killed the TF2 Pro Overwatch killed the TF2 Pro Valve said yes but you said no
(No, you had to go)
And now I briefly check your stream on Twitch TV There's lots of viewers since you got that beta key Our players said that it's the last of you we'd see
(Oh-a-oh) I can't accept that (Oh no) I hope you come back
Overwatch killed the TF2 Pro Overwatch killed the TF2 Pro Valve said wait, you couldn't though You stayed too long, you've got to go
(I know a TF2 Pro I know a TF2 Pro)
Overwatch killed the TF2 Pro Overwatch killed the TF2 Pro Valve said yes, they're just too slow Is it too late for us to grow? You waited long enough to know They should have done this long ago

ORIGINAL SONG: Video Killed the Radio Star - The Buggles
"How Do I eSports?" is the dumbest concept album about two TF2 players facing a grave dilemma of utmost seriousness: OW is out, but despite matchmaking, this obviously means TF2’s dead as shit. To fight against this dramatic threat, a plan was devised to revive the hat simulator and its original purpose. The plan? Make more TF2 parody pop cover songs - because more garbage parody covers of popular songs for video games is what indicates a game is eSports. (Yeah, it’s exactly as big of a mistake as it sounds.)

Tip of the Hats is an annual charity video game livestream benefiting Children’s Oncology Services. Their summer camp program, Camp One Step, sends children and youth afflicted with cancer to camp to let them enjoy the experience of being like every other kid, while providing the treatment they need. Cancer is a terrible thing that strikes so many people in the worst ways, but no person, let alone a child, should be defined and limited by the disease.

#tf2 #merasmus #screamfortressTip of the Hats 2016 - Ending Credits [SFM]uberchain2017-09-20 | With Tip of the Hats this weekend, I figured I would upload last year's outro sequence to my channel. Tip of the Hats is an annual charity video game livestream benefiting Children’s Oncology Services, and has raised $500,000 in total so far for the cause. Camp One Step, one of COSI's projects, sends children diagnosed with cancer to summer camp to help them enjoy being kids. Cancer is a terrible thing that strikes so many people in the worst ways, but no person, let alone a child, should be defined and limited by the disease. Children should be able to enjoy life, even if it's some fun at a dude ranch during the summer.
Thank you to the ToTH crew and cast as always for delivering each year for COSI. Thank you to the SFM crew for 2016 for all the work they delivered within our crazy time limits - Krunkidile, Dashner, ItalianNinja98, and the Winglet, who are making a return for the SFM crew of 2017 with SedimentarySocks and Callegos.
I hope people will tune into this year's Tip of the Hats, and I hope those who are fighting keep fighting. We're rooting for you and I will work hard for you guys!

Lunar Scythe & Miss Moth)uberchain2016-11-30 | Restless spirits stir angrily as they leave behind abandoned Merasmission scrolls, heading to the faraway lands of the watched over. One almost bumps into a witch, who had just arrived on a bumper car since brooms were, like, so last year. She gets out of the car, and reaches down to pick up one of the unfinished Merasmission scrolls next to a knocked-over gargoyle. It begged the question, "where the actual blue flying @#$% is Merasmus?". She's not pleased, nor are the spirits leaving who just stole her bumper car. (She's not pleased about that either. She bought that car with real money.) The witch decides to find the shitty wizard before next year arrives.

STEAM GROUP: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/uberchainsfm[SFM] Counter-Jumpinguberchain2016-06-30 | "Didn't Obi-Wan Kenobi counter-jump Anakin or something?" "No, no, Obi-Wan has the high ground. Then Anakin tries to counter-jump him, and he gets airshot."
This is a real conversation I heard from Silentes and some others while I was watching kos' stream once while they were MGEing.
Matchmaking is finally on its way! To prepare, you've enrolled in a 6v6 team to learn the ways about matchmaking. Choose the class that most suits you - Scout, the other Scout, Medic, Pocket Soldier, Roamer Soldier, or Demoman - and then learn how to make team chemistry happen with your fellow teammates as you proceed throughout each day, unlocking each storyline between each character and getting close to becoming a matchmaking master in this exciting team-building simulator visual novel!
The Spy might be Mr. Newell's favourite class but it sure as hell ain't mine. The mindset of proficient Spy players is akin to a troll: it relies on psychology, prediction & baiting the enemy so they do what you want them to do. It's done differently than a DM class in terms of the mindset. Spies know a backstab based on loose hitbox mechanics will piss off people, or when they've caused enough havoc with rage Pyros or Medics turning around often. This power trip is what fuels players' desire to play Spy, even if you'd rather not. The amount of havoc you can wreak, the salt of the enemy team, will bait you into continuing to ride that power trip.
Respect to Stabby & the Spy Mains btw. There's some things or two I learned about clicking then throwing my mouse to the back of my room to counter the stairstab. Shoutout to Froggoid for teaching me map routes, strafe & snap, and what classes are good to disguise at. That being said my inner Medic - guaranteed victims of knives up their butt - does not approve.

ORIGINAL SONG: I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys
"How Do I eSports?" is the dumbest concept album about two TF2 players facing a grave dilemma of utmost seriousness: OW is out, but despite matchmaking, this obviously means TF2’s dead as shit. To fight against this dramatic threat, a plan was devised to revive the hat simulator and its original purpose. The plan? Make more TF2 parody pop cover songs - because more garbage parody covers of popular songs for video games is what indicates a game is eSports. (Yeah, it’s exactly as big of a mistake as it sounds.)
The context of this was around the release of OW. At the time, Prem & Invite players were abandoning TF2 in favour of the competing game. The whole album parodies the panic during the first wave up, the intro (this track) setting the over-dramatic despair of it all. The title is not a dig at Blizzard though. We'll go ahead and say that if you're used to getting pennies from a hat simulator, then really nice butts and particles might be more promising.
LYRICS:
Where have all of Invite gone and Where are all our teams? From ESEA, Premier and Platinum UGC? Isn't there an update Coming out on time? This could be it, boys This could be End of the Line

Also, happy 2016 everybody! Here are my plans:
1) I'm going to try and make more SFM video crap because hot damn, SFM video crap. This will include not only TF2 stuff as I experiment and push Source to its limits & capabilities.
2) I've revamped my Patreon for less clutter, new pledges for donators, & some goals for workflow optimization. You can go check that out below.
3) I'm looking to do some big scale projects, which you can find on my Tumblr or linked on Patreon. This includes episodic series with voice acting & much action.
4) I'm dropping a really shitty mixtape in an attempt to balance out the rest of the video game parody pop songs for TF2. This may or may not actually be a thing I'm doing.
5) I'll be actually updating my Steam group live when I have a big project or video this time around so it's not simply collecting dust. Also, weapon signing for names has been fixed!
With the sudden twists and turns of North American TF2, now is a good time to mention to check out Dreamhack Winter's TF2 Invitational this week for European TF2. I'll be doing photography and some SFM work for the event. See you then!
༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ ASCENT TAKE MY ENERGY ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ youtu.be/AfzzoeK62KoTip of the Hats 2015 - Ending Creditsuberchain2015-09-27 | Cancer hits many lives in many unfortunate ways, whether you've fought it or lost somebody close to it. It's easy to be defined or brought down by it - but a person is defined by who they are, not what they have, and they deserve to enjoy life no matter what. This is what One Step Camp aimed for and what Tip of the Hats followed faithfully in. This year with the help of so many viewers, donators and supporters, Tip of the Hats has managed to raise over $200,000 for One Step Camp!
Thank you to everybody who tuned in this weekend for the stream, as well as those who donated and spread the word. It was an honour flying out to do on-site production and Source Filmmaker stuff for the crew - including this credit sequence that Dashner and I put together. Thank you to One Step Camp for making this all possible, and being there for youth who need that help the most. Thank you to the ToTH crew and cast, every single last one. Thank you to the SFM crew this year - Krunkidile, Dashner, ItalianNinja98, Hyperchaotix, and the Winglet - for lending your awesome time and talents on such short notice.
I hope everybody enjoyed this year's Tip of the Hats, and I hope those who are fighting keep fighting. You are so much more than what you've got, and you deserve all the best in life.
(This whole sequence was supposed to be animated and have Sally, the girl in the pink dress, give Heavy a Jaunty Pin in a gift, before Heavy would hug her, however my RSI started acting up really badly before I went to ToTH's venue. A few days before Tip of the Hats went live, we went for a fading, still shots effect. We also chose to have Sally run up to Heavy, not wanting him to go - even though he and the gang will probably drop by next year. I thought the theme ended up matching up with that post-ToTH feel pretty well.)
A while back, I remember watching Imagine Dragon’s “Warriors” promotional MV for the 2014 LoL World Championship. I thought it was neat in terms of how their videos like Road to the Cup and Warriors were produced and weaved together for that hype factor. I wanted to do a video like that for TF2: ridiculous as all hell, but awesome enough to get people excited. Eventually, Season 18 of ESEA rolled around with LAN right around the corner, and after picking a song and a theme - as well as a week of hard work and sleep deprivation - me, Dashner and Airon managed to put together our secret Season 18 LAN intro video.
Complete with mildly self-aware lampshading on how much edge is being present here, the video revolves around the theme of how TF2 is struggling - but not dying. Even though there’s a lot of familiar faces disappearing or choosing to hang up their hats and put away their guns, that doesn’t mean the game is gone. People come and go and it’s disheartening - if you choose to fight, then fight as hard as you can. Back your team up, support them through times when it seems tough, learn as much as you can, and aim for better.
Thanks to everybody who liked the intro when it debuted at LAN, I felt like I was at a rock concert! Thanks to Dashner for rendering + editing it all together and helping me through it all when I was pressed for time, thanks to Beater for finding the frag ticks that Dashner needed for the sweet frag montage, thanks to Airon (who I've worked with on Jewel Escapade) for providing the awesome sound mixing, and thanks to Mana for providing the first cut of the Great Divide. Also, massive gg to Gecks and Getawhale for their voices; they've come so far as casters, we're glad to have you on board and we'd love to see you make your way to the top.
BUY ME SOME LUNCH: http://patreon.com/uberchain[SFM] Dressed to Killuberchain2015-03-20 | Test animation (that took forever to render why don't they manufacture my RAM sticks anymore R I P) with $alpha bodyhacking as well as puppet scripting a bodyhacked model. The model used was built within SFM with about 4 models: Spy's Made Man, Miss Pauling, two copies of Scout's Mom, and a EQG Rarity model for the frills and skirt. A hidden version of Scout's Mom was used as the model puppeteer while everything else was built around the visible version of Scout's Mom. The motion puppeteer was a walk cycle from Alyx's sequences.
Also an excuse to animate Miss Pauling in a fancy dress because Miss Pauling is my wife.

Thanks to Quin for recompiling the wings, UziReloaded for making sweet cosplay of Cupid Sniper last year, and CallingToTheNight for the idea for the Huntsman. Read the README_ file for more credits plznthnx.
NOW: there are about 3000 people that follow me on my Tumblr blog. There are over 7000 of you watching my Youtube channel. I don't know what you guys are still doing here, but thank you so much to those of you who have stuck by me, saw my stuff and was like "hey, that's cool, is there more?" rather than "why the hell is Scout wearing short shorts and why is Archimedes beating up that Spy?". Thank you for taking the time out of your life, your precious beautiful life, to come watch my crap and help me out.
There's a lot more videos I'd like to do - some of them big series. Please check out my Patreon and see the pitches and description for those ideas! (And for those of you who want another episode of Scout-Chan, I hope the alternative I provided with a slightly bigger guy is one you want to see because I know I do.)

I wanted to get this done last year actually - but things like being on a vacation as well as other projects got in the way and I had to wait until next year (this year) to get it done. As it would turn out, I'm also late this year. I don't want to wait another year to get an appropriate time to upload this though, so I'll give you what I have so I can move onto other projects. Here's to 2015!

Naturally this lead to immediate pants-shitting from those who played competitive TF2 all over the world, and speculation began. How would it work? Would it be like PUGs/lobbies, or would it have a pick/ban system? The consensus - other than "it's gonna be totally new" - seems to be leaning towards 9v9 Highlander in terms of what Valve would prefer, though there are a few who believe that based on how Arena starts off as well as Mann vs. Machine that a 6v6-esque system would not be completely out of the question. Only time will tell if any of this is confirmed to be true as we slam our bumper cars into each other and wonder why the people we spectate are wearing too many hats.
Also something about tiny turret-spamming construction working dicks and hitbox exploitation-stabbing suit-wearing assholes there was stuff about that too.
A while back I volunteered to make a full-blown anime opening for the Sukeban Boy set in the TF2 Workshop. It didn't get in for Halloween which is a shame since it would have been the greatest butt-rustling of TF2 since the Magical Mercenary. Regardless, I saw to it that this needed to get done no matter how much I may or may not regret this decision in the end.
Huge thank you to SedimentarySocks for allowing me to do this. To everybody else I'm sorry and I will never do it again that's a lie magical girl bullshit is in my blood I'll try to do more than just mahou shoujo plz don't unsubscribe.
EDIT: It's come to my attention a lot of you are asking me why I couldn't do this opening with the Female Scout. Simple: the workshop set is not for the Femscout, it is for the Scout.
Voting for the Saxxy Awards 2014 has begun! There's some really good entries this year, and while I was unable to animate something from my own hands this year due to a mixture of illness and technical difficulties with my computer (which needs to be upgraded sometime this week to be fixed) - I helped out for this entry, "The Jewel Escapade", worked on by an INCREDIBLY talented team of animators, modellers, original music and sound composing!
It was an honour to be a part of this and watch it come to life, and everybody did so well.
Gee - Girls Generation[SFM] NEVER 4GETuberchain2014-08-07 | On July 30th, 2014, Froyotech's undefeated streak was broken, and the team was placed second in the ESEA TF2 Invite rankings underneath the victors of that match: the former Exertus (now rebranded as eLevate). Right after the loss, Shade's Twitch stream played sorrowful music, with white text over the middle of his TF2 console displaying 4 words:
THE DREAM IS DEAD
But as the music resumed, beginning its climb into a chorus of determination, and with reality of their CEVO match with XTS (which they won, gg was close) and Aug. 28th for the next ESEA match - the Medic main joined a Gravelpit pub, attacked all foes with his crossbow and his Ubersaw, as his 4 words shifted:
STEAM GROUP: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/uberchainSFM[SFM] What Do Friends Do, Miss Pauling?uberchain2014-07-26 | NOTE: This animation was done before the new Miss Pauling model was released, so it uses the old Miss Pauling model. Thank you for understanding!
After realizing that the efforts to cease these sudden Latin rhythms on the battlefield were outnumbered by how many of these dancing mercenaries were capable of being fired, the Administrator allows her secretary and her body cleaner, Miss Pauling, one week off of her regular duties for a new assignment - revisiting and analyzing the foreign, barbaric concept of "friendship" and figuring out what's so fun about it.
PROJECT PURPLE is here after a month in the making. Some animation and scene-building practice was put into this more than anything and it surprisingly took longer than I thought it would for something so simple. I definitely had fun with this, though because of copyrights I will NOT be entering this into the Saxxy's. But now, it's full steam ahead to focus on what sort of dumb thing I'm going to be crapping out for the Saxxy's!
