An animator's blog where we confirms he is directing the meet the sniper video to be released soon. This could be found through google before the meet the demoman video was released because it was listed in his animator credits but since the video was released, google is full of WHOAMG MEET DEMOMAN links and his blog is buried. --Wilsonator 05:30, 6 December 2007 (CST)

It's out and transcribed! Homepie 19:09, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I added a little blurb about the jars of urine that are visible on the "Meet the Sniper" text, down near the bottom. Should we mention the impressive quantity of it he generates during the time lapse? I mean, we mention that it happens, but it might be interesting to put under the "Notes," because it's probably made excessive to be humorous. Midaki 20:16, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Magnum Force Theme

I've just found the remix used in 'Meet the Sniper', I thought it'd be interesting for the people around here. This guy removed all the vocals and didn't damage the music one bit. --Daimao 12:07, 5 October 2008 (GMT)

Awesome! Thanks for this find!--Wilsonator 13:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Smoking Discussion

Wait, the sniper smokes? I severely doubt that. Look at the video, he doesn't smoke.HelisPoe 21:01, 18 June 2008 (CST)

Look closer at the ashtrays and cigarettes in the very first shot with the civilian. Also on the 'Meet the Sniper' screen, the little things on the ground are used cigarette butts. --Wilsonator 22:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think they're cigarette buts, they look more like spent bullet casings. And it's hard to tell what really is in the ashtray. I could be a cigar or a bullet casing. It definitely doesn't look like a cigarette but to me.--TFT Magic Kukri 16:36, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it looks like a cigarette but, look here: --Stylee32 20:34, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, now I see it. Thanks for the help.--TFT Magic Kukri 00:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Wait, the Demoman smokes? I don't see the Demoman smoking in any part of the videos. --Deathchon122 01:25, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

He doesn't smoke in the video but there are ashtrays in his room with still smoking cigs in them.--Wilsonator 14:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

he makes lots of weewee

i think it should be mentioned how much he peas.

Done and Done.--Wilsonator 22:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Driving on the wrong side of the road

Aussies drive on the left, hes shown driving on the right, which assuming the video in australia is a continutiy.. Steak Sandwich 04:56, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

True, That's quite silly... maybe it's so the majority of watchers don't see anything wrong. (The fact that the sniper's calling his parents leads me to believe it is set in Australia and he's not working oversea). Humbug 10:39, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I thought he was in the dustbowl area, somewhere in Texas.--Wilsonator 10:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

To kill everyone you...?

Are you guys sure he says "everyone you meet"? i think it sounds more like a "everyone you must".

It definitely sounds like "meet" to me (I'm an Aussie if it matters...)

'Have a plan to kill everyone you meet' is an old expression, and this is a reference to that.

"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet." It's an old USMC saying. -- TripcodeMel 23:22, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Bus in the end of the video

Shouldn't it be mentioned that the bus in the end of the video (when he asks dad to put mom on the phone) has written "BLUDOG" on it, which is probably a reference to "GREYHOUND" lines of the USA (see Greyhound_Lines). That would also indicate that the video is staged in USA and not Australia.

"I think his mate saw me"

I can clearly hear he sais: "I think this mate's no me." "Yes, yes he is." Am I the only one hearing that, or I'm just deaf?

I always thought he said "I think he's (he has) might saw me". --evenprime 15:10, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

The Sniper doesn't say "he is," he says "he did." It has to be "I think his mate saw me - Yes, yes he did!" because the grammar doesn't fit otherwise. -- TripcodeMel 06:17, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Unknown target during timelapse?

I don't know whether or not the unknown target during the time lapse scene where the Sniper waits to take a shot at should be counted for body count.

Hungry... or angry?

"I guarantee you'll not go hungry-"

I think he says angry... any Aussies here confirm what is correct? Colinstu 08:26, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Hungry--MrTwoVideoCards 11:07, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

He does say hungry but it sounds like he doesnt say the "H" he just sounds like he is saying "Ungry". But it would make sense for him to say hungry because afterwards he talks about always having work. --DJTricky 14:47, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Yep, definitely "hungry." I've heard this saying quite a lot (being an Aussie might have something to do with it) and it is common for (especially stereotypical) Aussie accents to sound like that. Humbug 10:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

What's the Medic holding in the end sequence?

I know in the previous Meet The Team videos, he's holding a Bonesaw... But I can't tell what he's holding at the end of this one. Any ideas? EDIT: Nevermind, I found out that it's still a Bonesaw. I got confused because the blade seems to merge into the background, and the handle's a different colour.

Looks to me like the Medic is holding the default Medigun. Snakexdude11
