Another line for the red tape recorder is in Cantonese which means “it’s him,catch him quickly!” Scared the shit out of me when I first heard it because I had no idea there is a Cantonese voiceline in the game
@@bluesnake1713 it would've been cooler if you got the duck weapons from actually finding the duck easter eggs cause a lot of people didn't even know hitman had hidden ducks in it until they gave out free ducks
One thing that Whomobile forgot to mention was the engraving on the Ambassador not only changes between the normal and austy versions but its also Scout's mom.
@phroggia 123 No joke, of course its information you have to go out of your way to find because its not mentioned on the wiki about the weapon itself, maybe valve was trying to keep that little detail hidden and shrouded in mystery but given that the spy not only taunts the scout whenever he dominates him about "visiting your mother" and she was pretty much highlighted in the meet the spy short it makes sense it would be her, people in love tend to do stuff like that.
Now that I think about it, it's a good murder weapon. It's easy to sharpen and you can dispose of it really easily and leave no trace behind. If I ever need to kill someone, I now know what I'll use.
Stuff You Missed: *Revolver:* A common thing that people did around the time Team Fortress 2 is set in would be to take a revolver, remove the original barrel from the frame, and replace it with the barrel of another revolver (usually a Colt Python. This is perhaps the main reason Spy's revolver looks like a "mutt" weapon. *Big Kill:* In the original comics, the gun is barrel of the gun is often depicted as being so large that it actually sags under its own weight. Sam claims the weapon is "my second best and third most dangerous friend". *Ambassador:* The Festive variant has different engravings on the barrel than the normal version. Oh, and the engraving seems to be based off of Scout's mum. *L'Etranger:* Apparently, this weapon is also named after a French novel in which an emotionally-detached Frenchman murders Arab with a revolver. *Festive Sapper:* On the side is a note that can roughly be translated to "Merry Smissmas, my friend!"
It should also be mentioned that the gun that the Big Kill is based on, the Smith & Wesson Model 29, was made famous as the gun of choice of 'Dirty' Harry Callahan in the movie/franchise of the same name. It is likely that the gun was chosen to be used in the Sam & Max comics as a parody of this.
Adding to the L'etranger part, this definitely isn't coincidental as the novel is set in Morocco and the gun is part of a Saharan Spy set. The author is Albert Camus just in case.
I think you should do some miscellaneous item origins! Like the Power Up Canteen, Spellbook and etc. Or even maybe talk about map things such as the CTF briefcase or Payload bomb!
@@Whomobile ayy the series is continuing! i like how you make your videos like you are presenting pure info, so no hyped outros or intros and no unecessary info. nice clean editing and easy to understand. this is great content man
@@MichaMundy how for hats? there's more hats in tf2 than actual forts in the whole EU I mean soundsmith has the *series* in progress, see how long THAT'S been in the works
I honestly thought the Ambassador is a Desert Eagle remodeled into a revolver shape. I didn't think there's an actual gun that looks like the Ambassador as it always felt impractical to me. The barrel of the Ambassador feels so big it probably outweighs the rear end by a lot.
I would say the Snack Attack could also be a reference on how you can get electricity out of a potatoe, given how the structure seems to be connected to the bread monster... Even tho it's bread and not a potatoe.
So you correctly say “Your Enteral Reward” without the “the” but before that you say “the L’etranger” when the “L” means “the” ... The the stranger. Also I believe L’etranger is based off of a french novel with the same name in which the titular stranger murders someone with a revolver, hence the name of the gun in tf2
The Ambassador is based on a style of revolver used in old practical police competitions (PPC). They don't come like that from the factory, and usually it takes a lot of money for an experienced gunsmith to add the long heavy barrels to the gun. This type of work is really difficult and there is almost no one that's still around who is capable of doing this kind of custom job, making these revolvers extremely rare (and expensive) in real life. The resulting gun, however, is an extremely accurate, smooth shooting gun with very little recoil, so it really matches well with it's in game ability to make one kill head shots.
Disguise kit fun fact: I a certain James Bond movie, James gives a guard a device that he says is a bomb with a gyroscope in it, and that it will detonate if he moves. However, later in the movie, he takes away the “bomb” and it is revealed that it was just a harmless cigarette case the whole time. The disguise kit seems to be a reference to that scene.
One thing to note also is that ninjas were not usually sent as assassins, but rather for theft or espionage missions, because if they killed someone, people would be looking for them making their job much harder.
4:00 The spycicle also extinquishes flames on the spy, as a means to try and get a way from the pyro via giving up his one-hit kill ability for a while.
I feel like the fact that the Ap-Sap talks should be mentioned. Gives insight on Engineer's buildings. Apparently there's a massive green wire in each building that can be cut to destroy it
I never realized just how many of spy's weapons are promo items, also, it's unfortunate the black rose is unobtainable now, it honestly looks pretty nice
This, is how i Pronounce "L'etranger" Le-ronshjay Idk why but when i first own the L'etranger i pronounce it as "Let Ranger" and i also didn't know Filipinos use Butterfly knives
Hey Whomobile, are you sure that there are war-paintable sappers for the Spy? to what I know there's only revolvers and knifes that can be applied to you might have made an error there at 5:32 if not, I would've gotten a cardboard box skin sapper on my wishlist of weapon skins
Another weird fact about the L’etranger is that it has a swing-out cylinder like all other revolvers, even though the Nagant 1895 is a fixed-cylinder revolver.
It’s really important to note that the L’Etrange is a nod to the French boom by the same name, by famous Philosopher Albert Camus. In the book the main character accidentally shoots a man with a revolver, both out of mistaken identity and accidental reflex.
there's a duck on the quakenberdt (not sure if i spelled that correctly) because as far as i know hitman games have an obsession with duck related easter eggs
*The Ambassador* is the most genius way to nerf a class! Nobody will find out how superior the other revolver choices are, *if they will constantly miss their shots with a **_direct downgrade with an underwhelming stat_** just to try and show off, failing miserably!* TF2 Team are *_geniuses!_*
A common stereotype in France is that Butterfly knives were used a lot by people on Corsica. So maybe that could explain Spy's use of a butterfly knife.
Bit of trivia on the Dead Ringer. The term "Dead ringer" is used to describe something or someone that looks exactly like something or someone else, which refers to the Spy's disguises.
I would like to point out that the L'étranger is first and foremost a reference to french-algerian writer Albert Camus's 1942 novel 'L'étranger", which features the protagonist gunning down some random dude on a beach with a revolver because of the sun being too hot or something
0:33 Chambers not barrels. The chamber is where a loaded cartridge rests when the gun is ready to fire. The barrel is where the bullet goes through when shooting. 1:21 Chambers again. The cylinder is the whole thing that contains the 6, or in this case 7, chambers.
I'm pretty sure that the sapper destroys buildings by electronic pulses (like an EMP but not remote) and the reason it breaks sentries is by setting off bullets while they're inside the gun
Honestly the DiamondBack is my favorite out of all the Spy’s Primary weapons I mean it gets crits when you go invisible and when you disguise and all that jazz.
