| − | I'd like to make mention of the upcoming Telltale game Poker Night at the Inventory, which the Heavy will co-star in. I think it would fit well in the trivia section, but seeing how this is a Featured Article, I'm having difficulty finding a way to add it without it coming off as uninformative "fanboyism", which would of course detract from such a handsomely written article. Any suggestions?

| − | Here's some trivia I've been meaning to add; it doesn't show up. Can anyone help? "According to the website for Poker Night at the Inventory, the RED Heavy enjoys reading Russian literature, listening to tapes and cleaning his minigun in his spare time. Considering Valve's involvement with the game, it may be considered canon." [[User:Satorifan|Satorifan]] 02:49, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::Poker nigh at the inventory - Heavy says he collects old coins which he uses to melt down to create his custom bullets. He also says that his favorite movies are The dirty dozen and the first 20 minutes of Rockey IV. The heavy said at school he had the option of beating boys or goats, and that he wasn't to good with goats. He also says he likes "woman" with red hair. The Heavy also tells a story about him killing engineer. It goes as follows "I am reminded of time Engineer kill my entire team. I search entire base for him. He tries to kill me with turret and mini-turret but i crush his toys like they are made of paper. Then i find him. Hiding by teleporter.I take his gun away from him. He tries to hit me with wrench! So i take wrench away from him. I take his wrench and shove it down his throat, all the way down to the handle. Then i rip off all his fingers, one by one! Lets see you build toys NOW! THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE! AND HE IS CRYING! I THINK HE CRIES OUT FOR MOTHER..BUT..BUT..BUT WRENCH IS STUCK IN THROAT! And it sounds like.. Is this not funniest thing?!" (I will put a video up on youtube about the story with engineer).--[[User:QuincytheDestroyer|QuincytheDestroyer]] 04:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | I wanted to make it clear that if the character models are compared and stood perfectly straight, the Heavy is in fact the tallest class. I have a reference image at home, which I will add to the wiki when I get back to my house later.

| |
| − | : Its not about factchecking, its the fact that we are making Poker Night non canon, unrelated to TF2, since it is by Telltale games with Heavy (character) licensed. [[User:Ventus|Ventus]] 23:46, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::Fair enough, but I think it's at least worth mentioning in the trivia section. [[User:Geno|Geno]] 23:48, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :::No it's not worth mentioning anywhere because it's not canon. The lines have been written by Telltale Games and have nothing to do with Valve. Also please keep your signature next to your comment so it's easier to follow conversations. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 23:51, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::::Despite being non-cannon the game has a Valve character in it. This page has an obligation to mention it because it's a page dedicated to the Heavy. Though some might think of the Heavy's appearance is non-cannon, most people will not make any distinction. What better place to clear it up then on this page? [[User:Geno|Geno]] 06:07, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :::::The game has a ''likeness'' of the Heavy in it. The dialogue was not written by Valve. It's no better than fanfiction. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 06:11, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::::::To compare it to a fanfic is fairly absurd. The game contains Gary Schwartz, voicing as the Heavy. If it wasn't for Valve's permission Telltale games could not even include the Heavy in the game, due to copy right issues. However, you're missing the point mate. I'm not resisting the idea that every storyline brought up in the game should be non-canon. I'm saying we should at least bring those storyline up and explain their place in the TF2 universe. If not have a factoid stating that all dialogue the Heavy says is non-canon, provided with evidence. Many people will believe it is canon because a vast majority of TF2 players own the game. It is, after all, our obligation as wiki editors to inform the public. [[User:Geno|Geno]] 06:51, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :::::::The only difference between fanfiction writers and Telltale games is that they paid Valve for the artistic license (and they're more competent writers). As for a factoid mentioning this non-canon Heavy I'd agree with a small note saying so somewhere, if the moderators don't resist that idea. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 06:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::::::::There's also the difference that it has effects on TF2 via the achievement promotional items. So: offical voice actor, official model used (can't remember where I saw this stated though, sadly), official endorsement from Valve, and actual impact on TF2 game from playing ''Poker Night''... seems a bit above a "fanfiction" to me. [[User:Mar|Mar]] 07:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :::::::::That may be, but the fact of the matter is Valve did not write his lines. He refers to the Pyro as a 'he' in the game. Shall we take this as gospel then? There should be a note somewhere about his appearance but nothing more. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 07:49, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

| |
| − | :::: Personally I'm leaning more toward the "non-canon" side now. However, we should wait until Valve says something because otherwise it's just pure speculation. Whose to say that Valve didn't write the storylines specifically for the Heavy? Also, I think people who have the game should list all the factoids. In the end we can let the mods decide whether we should omit it or not. Because most people who have the game will most likely think it's canon. So if it's not we at least owe the people a factoid that reads "ALL STORIES IN POKER NIGHT NON-CANON". [[User:Geno|Geno]] 17:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :::::Well unless Valve say they've written his lines it makes more sense to assume they have had no involvement and the game is non-canon. List the facts if you want on a talk page but, until we hear otherwise, we have to assume they were made up by Telltale games. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 18:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
