Not expecting this video to do super well, but I thought it’d compliment the previous one nicely, I held onto it for a good few days just to let the last one settle.

“It’s my sleepover, so I get to choose the movie!“

Is the engie counterpart to "spy has a gun" that one part of lazypurple's how it feels to play engineer "I have a shotgun!"

"How do you know these things?" "I sometimes play Team Fortress 2, and sometimes I play the spy"

Rare footage of a spy main and an engineer main meeting neutrally without shouting slurs/attacking eachother

Kunai spies peacefully leaving after I pump 200,000 damage into him (I foolishly forgot to tell the gibus heavy with vc off to turn around)

1:45:38 missed opportunity to say "Spy is about causing problems, Engineer is about solving practical problems."

We’re spying out some tactics to engi-near saving TF2

1:14:50 Dane: "Its hard for me to imagine people cheering hearing someone talk about their favourite weapon" *Me when YER is mentioned* also Jonto saying he will make a YER video gives me life

This is a interesting podcast to listen! Talking about TF2, Engineer and Spy class and there different skill is good to talk about. (and among within the community too)

0:24 damn he read me like a book, I guess that is expected from an actual good spy player.

I got a lucid dream of a spy and a engineer talking, WTH ?

"glorb - the bottom" didn't expect to read that today

my favorite dane bit is him making jonto just say the dumb joke he said Again and totally halting conversation until he does its so fucking funny

Was literally just looking for a video to put on in the background, the timing on this couldn’t have been better

It's interesting how hero shooters later on introduced some characters based on the engineer and spy archetypes (like Barik and Torbjorn for the first, Skye and Sombra) for the second But they are always limited to a single turret and becoming invisible, never getting as deep as the TF2 original characters :)

Just clicked, and I’m already gonna love the two best tf2ubers for 2 hours

Dan whipping out 'The bottom 2' out of fucking nowhere jump scared me so hard

You know, one of my favorite things to do in TF2 is load into Turbine select Spy, sneak into the enemy’s intel room and when theirs a turtling engineer in the I just mess with them with the cloak and dagger, and it’s actually not even that bad a way to train cloaked movement, plus it’s really funny especially If their new players, and I implore you to try it it.

Woah the manns guide has competition in the world of tf2 podcast

I love listenin to uncle danes rambles, and hearing you two chat about a game I'm so eager to learn more about has been scratching the tf2 podcast itch i never knew i had.

I really, really appreciate your definition of 'class based shooter' vs. 'hero shooter' because it drills down to something I was struggling to put into words. This video is just generally really insightful!

I didn't comment this on the original video but when Dane was talking about how he disagreed on sapping the dispenser being low priority, I couldn't agree more. As an Engie main, it's even more annoying having the dispenser down than a sentry due to it being the metal supplier. Plus it makes players group and play around you more, and since they are either healing or replenishing ammo, they can act as an extra set of eyes against spies while waiting. Heavys, Pyros, and Demos especially. Also you two talking about how customisable loadouts are really makes me think of Pokemon. Like you can have a general idea of what they are capable of but can blindside you with the Frontier Justice or a random super effective coverage move. Or just have a completely niche loadout/moveset.

I think the best way to summarize the vibes of this video is: big Uncle vibes from Dane, excited Nephew vibes from Jonto

Fun fact: the prinny machete, the true all class melee reskin doesn't even have a backstab animation. Not only this is the only way spy can get fake random crits, but also the only way to get them in uncle topia.

Doctor: you got 2 hours Me:

1:30:00 I remember seeing a fan concept where the Knight became a distinct class/character separate from the Demoman. While a nice concept, the cool part about the Demo is that you can mix and match the weapons of both. You can use the Katana on the stock demoman, or you can have the targe just for its resistances and go for pipes- or cannonballs- only playstyle.

"Podcast down!"

i just realised how much smaller the hands of the spy are

14:20 this frontier game jonto talks about where your team actually manages to listen and coordinate this super sneaky stealth last push is like my engineer wet dream

i paid too much attention that i started noticing the same clips over again

Uncle Dane the Engie Main

Man i will never tire of hearing the endless complexities of tf2

This is gonna be the best 2 hours if my life

I think the deadringer would be better if you had to manually feign instead of rewarding the spy when you shoot at him.

We need to talk with Pyro main

Engineer has a teleporter? No, wait...

15:39 we all came at the same time Jontohill2

I’m glad that you mentioned DRG. I’d like you to make a video about it.

This was really great! If you can get Dane back on again (or any other TF2bers) I would love to hear another episode

A Tf2 podcast I think is a legit thing I’d listen to lol there’s an untapped market here

I did not expect the guy in subway surfers to start cranking 90s

Life is good, I sit down with my Caniac Combo, no slaw extra toast, ready to watch a KZfaq video with my meal. Lo’ and behold I have been given a bountiful harvest of a video. Thank you so much for sponsoring my dinner

31:40 it is genuinely insane how much damage a close range pyro can do. for instance, my method for killing scouts is to scorch a bit, airblast back, and immediately switch to the flare gun. Flare crits are 90 damage, and drop scouts relatively fast. Ive also noticed that heavies *CAN* be dispatched of with enough care, though distance is more favored in that situation

POV: Your two older cousins corner you at the family gathering

40:09 "No one's gonna say 'Oh! Dispenser down, push in' " I actually do say this, with only a hint of irony. It's funny at first but it genuinely reminds the team that objectives are won through attrition, and victories (even ones that small) snowball into a genuine advantage when exploited. It reminds you that the enemy is gradually getting weaker, and anyone who is avoiding the objective push in favor of DMing might group up to focus down weaker players.

Would love to see more of this podcast kinda thing.

The ending was fun and actually unexpected. Thanks for the video , it was good to watch it over a week while eating.

Time to grab the headphones!

Jontohil: *deep philosophical rambling* Dane: "Wait... how you know that?!1?

It's surprising that I only discovered your channel through this podcast. Guess I wasn't keeping up with tf2 community for the last couple years.

Oh boy two socially awkward individuals talking for two hours, my favorite!

your spy psychology gideos are what got me into tf2 so i think you did a pretty good job

Now this is the kind of content i subscribed for, i love hearing podcasts while i'm doing mindless work.

If only this just slowly became unhinged rambling as the gameplay got more chaotic

Ankle Dan and (SPY HAS A) Gan man.

I get such whiplash when you mention Minecraft mapmaking you're like two people in my mind

chill spychology to listen to while you sleep/study

I need a whole podcast of ppl talking about TF2 from different perspectives.

This was such a good video, I loved all the whole thing which I watched

1:22:11 I replaced tab and made it my explode bind instead, so every time I want to check how bad I'm doing I instead die horribly. Makes me feel a bajillion times better

This is the first time i heard a spy main and an engineer main talk to eachother calmly.

thank you for having this, it got me through finals. what a ride that jumpscare was from dane when you went afk, too, that genuinely got me.

loving the bit compression

spy is so incredibly unique that the closest equivalent i can think of is the infiltrator from Planetside 2, which does not have the disguise mechanic, and instead of having a sapper can switch enemy interactibles to be on their own team, but otherwise has that cloak and dagger aspect to it (also a sniper sometimes)

I just watched previous video, and I couldn't focus on work, because it was better to watch instead of listening, and now I find that!

3:31 honestly, i don't know why I'm not suprised that dane plays DGR

this is crazy, i mean i saw the collab last video but this is neat.

I really enjoyed this. I don't know if it would be a regular thing, but hearing you talk with other TF2 KZfaqrs (or other KZfaqrs in general) would be a fun format.

I fall asleep listening to this podcast, and I wake to an image of a toilet with music in the background.

Cool. I am engi main and I learned a lot of stuff here thx uncle Dane

We need more discussion podcasts and roundtables with big TFtubers

This is great. Never knew i needed just dane chatting

Spy just needs the ability to manually do a reload animation while disguised. Would help the mechanic so much

A podcast for 2 straight hours, great :)

Maybe giving spy a ping system? Hell be able to mark a building or person, and it will appear as an icon through walls for his team

one of the videos of all time, that's for sure

it'd be neat if spy had a cloakwatch that disguises him as whoever he shoots to synergise with the enforcer

cant wait for episode 2 of the podcast /j

This reminds me of the good old days when ArraySeven would upload- and he did his podcast-like episodes with Uncle Dane. Never thought I'd see stuff like it again

God I love podcast style media. This was a Godsend at work

I could listen to this guy for hours

The reason why people think spy is a counter to engineer is because he has the only weapon in the game designed specifically to work against another specific class. The sapper doesn't work on anyone else

For some reason, KZfaq recommended me the members-only version of this video after I watched this one. I'm not even a member... Anyway, video was nice to listen to in the background while waiting for Vegas Pro to do things. Very cool.

48:32 EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

ok so i was playing smash while listening to this, and i swear just hearing about yall talking about the game so analytically i think legit just made me play better there. Cause then I was actually thinking about what I was gonna do and adapting to whoever I was fighting. Thanks

"I don't know how noobs end up in community servers" Didn't expect to be put on blast like that~

listening to this while at the emergemcy room, taking quite a while

After listening to whole video I can say. I liked listening to talk of you two.

I never knew I needed this, but apparently I did a 5:30 in the morning.

Finally something too sleep to

Really loved this, hope to see more of these 1 on 1 podcasts. The talk about hero shooters producing the same interactions over and over again really summed up my thoughts on Overwatch. Removing CC in OW2 amplified this problem so much, used to main mei with 180 hours on her and it was so fun figuring out how to get out of a situation. When she could still freeze, you would be up in the enemy's face all the time, now her wall has so little use because it's so much harder to survive in a fight. At least OW2 becoming a monotonous click on the heads game got me back into TF2.

guys will see this and say "hell yea"

1:11:10 your point about new player tutorials is SO real, as a new player in 2024 i found it so difficult to find jargon-free stuff that treats you as an actual *new player* and not someone whose version of “new” is “30 hours on a class”

really WELL ROUNDED hahahahah amyright folks

20 minutes in and Uncle Dan sounds like he doesn't give 2 shits about anything being said lol. I'm sure it gets better but funny none the less

1:07:05 woah I think you actually have a pretty good point here. TF2 was my main game for years but I discovered that learning fighting game characters (mainly in Guilty Gear Strive) gave me a similar amount of satisfaction to learning classes in TF2. I also really enjoy playing Noita for its secrets and wand building tech. All these games have really complex mechanics on the surface but after you do a little research you get a feel for the game

I like how the message to the satellite takes 0.5 seconds so uncle Dane responds every 0.5 seconds

while i don't main spy, i do enjoy the spy videos as they have helped me get better when i do decide to play the class, i can't wait for the rest of the series, also good podcast thanks

You need to do more of these.
