Team Fortress 2 Short Film Released

Valve has released a 15-minute long short animated film, titled "Expiration Date", that tells the story of Scout who is in love with Miss Pauling, the clerical assistant and corpse disposal expert.

The Red team comes to a conclusion that they are all going to die and since Scout's last wish was to have a date with Miss Pauling, Spy teaches him how to dance, eat and behave for a date with her. But his hopes are dashed as they now have to fight the monster bread in this action-packed short film.

The short film was released to coincide with the new  Love and War Update for Team Fortress 2.
