Talk:Blood Brothers

Gray's Dead Space reference?

The thing on his back looks quite similar to Isaac's life meter in the Dead Space series, should this be written down as trivia? Masterlegodude 05:59, 12 August 2012 (PDT)

No, it's not, regardless of how similar it looks. This is bad speculation. 06:00, 12 August 2012 (PDT)

Obvious resemblance between Gray and the Spy

He makes an entrance by backstabbing a couple of henchmen and greeting his brothers with the word "Gentlemen", striking the same pose as a taunting Spy. Whether this is meaningful or just a red herring (perhaps a metaphor for Gray's backstabbing nature), this does sound like something worth pointing out in trivia. Daisuke 08:46, 12 August 2012 (PDT)

You missed something. [1] HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK Tuatara Tim 09:23, 12 August 2012 (PDT)

That image of G-Man was posed to match Gray Mann's pose. Also, please keep speculation only to the forums. Thank you.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 09:34, 12 August 2012 (PDT)

I'd like to point out the Spy Tech seems to be grey matching Gray's clothes and along with his Spy-like actions, may I suggest that maybe Gray set up Spy Tech or a rival to it?DoctorPan 11:11, 12 August 2012 (PDT)

This is all speculation, and thus does not constitute trivia. I suggest reading the style guide just for some clarity on what is and isn't trivia ^^ Thanks 15:34, 12 August 2012 (PDT)

"Trivia items should not be obvious to anyone who has played Team Fortress 2 for a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately, "obvious" may have a subjective definition as veteran players may have a different opinion on what is obvious compared to novice players. Something that is inevitably discovered simply by playing the game or casually studying the subject in question should be considered "obvious", and thus not trivia." Speculation aside, is the resemblance between Gray and the Spy considered obvious? Daisuke 16:34, 17 August 2012 (PDT)

Add a note about the comic taking place in the future?

The page says it starts in the present day, but here we see that it says "some time in the future". Should this be noted? (EDIT: I know Blutarch says they've been warring for a hundred years, but he says that in Loose Canon too. Present day TF2 is over 100 after the war started (1850-1968))

Blueprint

I can't seem to get the blueprint to output correctly. It seems that there is a cap at 5 items.

I've also tried to recreate the crafting recipe with backpack icons here, but there appears to be a layout issue.

Any tips? 04:08, 13 August 2012 (PDT)

Blueprint template or bullet list?

There appears to be a disagreement on whether this article should use the blueprint template or a list to show the items that were crafted to unlock the comic. As far as I'm aware, Fashnek and I prefer a bullet list, and Smashman and Wingless prefer the blueprint template (the agreement in IRC mentioned in the edit history). Rather than edit war, I thought I'd put this here. Other opinions? — Armisael (T | C) 08:54, 15 August 2012 (PDT)

Real_alien said he preferred the template too (tru dat - real_alien). I feel it's more aesthetically pleasing and is in-keeping with the references to Blueprints throughout the rest of the site. Alternatively we could outright remove the section as it is somewhat arbitrary. – Smashman _(talk) 08:57, 15 August 2012 (PDT)

There is one significant problem with the blueprint template, and it's that it can't hold all seven ingredients. Also, on the pl page, the template is not functioning properly - the strings that were used in it were deleted. And probably rightly so, since they will be used never again. Because of those reasons I'm leaning towards a bullet list, or if that fails, a table. (Or even remove it altogether and just stick the recipe image in there.) JerryPL ^Maggots! 09:04, 15 August 2012 (PDT)

I made a custom table version. That fixes the problem detailed above. – Smashman _(talk) 09:07, 15 August 2012 (PDT)

Removing it's probably the best solution. There's no real reason to have it on the page. The reason I'm against the crafting blueprint is that it implies that it's an active recipe, whereas a bullet point list can state "these are the items that were crafted" — Armisael (T | C) 09:37, 15 August 2012 (PDT)

Poker Deck

Is Saxton's deck of cards from Poker Night at the Inventory, or is that just me making stuff up again? Platitudinous 16:38, 15 August 2012 (PDT)
