Valve's Source Filmmaker - An Introduction

As the 'Meet The Pyro' short proved, they are really upping their game in video production. Now anyone can produce high quality shorts with the release of 'The Source Filmmaker,' which might just end up killing what people have been using for years now, Gmod.

The Source Filmmaker (SFM) is the movie-making tool built and used by Valve to make movies inside the Source game engine. 'Meet the Pyro' and the other Meet The Team shorts were filmed and edited inside this amazing little program. According to the Official Site the Source Film Maker uses the same assets as the game, which means anything that users will be able to create the same high fidelity shorts as Valve. Its not quite out just yet, but you can sign up for the possibility of a beta key. I'm pretty excited to not only give it a go but to see what kind of movies will be produced by the fan communities. Can you stop being awesome Valve?

Team Fortress 2 : Meet The Pyro & More Revelations

The long awaited Meet The Pyro video is finally here after three long days of Pyromania. We first got Doomsday, which brought us a new nuke themed game mode, and day two brought us City on Fire, replete with a variety of new weapons for the Scout, Sniper, Soldier and Pyro.

After 5 years of incredible Meet The Team videos, the mysterious Pyro gets unveiled as a beast out of hell with a soft side. I wasn't expecting so many rainbows, unicorns and lollipop fields. Do you believe in magic? And unlike what everyone expected, still no word on the gender of the Pyro. Damnit. What else could make this day better? Check out some  for the first bit of news regarding the Adult Swim-Valve partnership and the new items from Day 3!
