Talk:Meet the Demoman

From TF2 Wiki

The Transcript needs work

I need some help putting together the Demoman transcript. The following were parts I didn't understand when I made that transcript. Please help improve it. THanks.

• Improve the sentence starting with "One crossed wire..."

• Improve the line starting with "I'm a blind scotish cyclops." There's some before it I didn't get as well as the parts around "...pinch of potassium chloride"

• Improve the part about being a "Grim, Blood table.". Does he really mean Table? Maybe I misunderstood.

Please try to improve it, thanks. --CountDOODOO 18:22, 29 November 2007 (CST)

Done most of it, just unclear on the bit before "...I'm a blind scottish cyclops.". 'errant' not 'elegant' and 'fable' not 'table', which is why he says "with an unhappy end" as in grim fairy tale (I think).--Aurora 19:11, 29 November 2007 (CST)

As for the part before "...I'm a blind scottish cyclops", I think he might be saying: "Would you just look at me man," What do you think? --CountDOODOO 21:05, 29 November 2007 (CST)

Good work Wilsonator or whoever edited the transcript. It looks much better now. I still don't think he's saying "They gotta make it out", but I don't think he's saying, "Would you just look at me man.". I'll find out eventually. Maybe we should all post a list of what we think he says. Maybe it'll help us understand what he's saying.

Maybe he's saying, "They gotta make it man"--CountDOODOO 15:31, 1 December 2007 (CST)

Ah hah, found a transcript. He says: "I got a manky eye." 'manky' being british slang for messed up, notice how he points at his eyepatch when he says it. It's a bit hard to hear it because of his accent and the fact that he's also drunk. --Wilsonator 15:39, 1 December 2007 (CST)

Nice Work! It's almost impossible to hear it but It's the best translation yet. I don't think he's pointing to his eye patch though but It doesn't matter. Where'd you get the transcript from?--CountDOODOO 15:54, 1 December 2007 (CST)

I dug the link out somewhere but I can't recall atm, i'm almost completely sure it's correct though. --Wilsonator 16:18, 1 December 2007 (CST)

Forget about the link. I was doing some searching and I found a YouTube video were in one of the responses, it tells what he said. I guess I could e-mail Gabe Newell but I don't think he'll know what I'm talking about and I won't get the answer I'm looking for.

Can anyone figure out if RED is on offence or defence? It seems as though the spawn points for RED and BLU are reversed somehow.

Does the Bagpipe song have any particular name, like the song the Engineer played? Or is it just random bagpipes?--Gekonody 19:12, 25 April 2008

Nope, it's just bagpipes playing over the generic TF2 ending flourish.--Wilsonator 07:02, 26 April 2008 (CDT)

Wanted to suggest this here before editing the page itself, but... I'm pretty sure he says "... with a whiff of me own brimstone", and not "...with a whiff of the ol' brimstone". It would seem to make more sense, too. Sound right?--Raynfala 21:27, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
