The Story of TF2's Strangest Player

[@UncleDane]

What i took away from this story is that Bing Soy is definitely an interesting and creative person. Thanks for documenting his enigmatic presence! I can't help but feel pride in contributing to this story in such a passive way - the fact that you guys were able to so consistently encounter Bing Soy and watch his antics is a big part of what makes community servers so essential to the spirit of TF2.

A year late but I know exactly what 28:07 is about. He wants to make people (or himself) happy, but doesn’t know which path will lead him there. Which probably causes some indecisiveness.

[@mello_kid1886]

Reminded me of the Detroit become human choice map after you complete a chapter

[@DumbleHehe]

Yeah I can definitely see that because of the little frowny faces and then the path leading to a question mark about where it will lead him too. That makes sense.

[@DesmoundAlexander]

I perceive it a bit differently. I think he may believe that if he made any decision from his past different, he knows that he would've been sad. He doesn't regret his choices and knowing that his current self isn't wound up in a sad place, he wonders what the future developments in his life will bring him.

[@jacob1107]

I instantly recognized it as something akin to a binary search tree. And, all of the explored locations have sadness. I interpreted it as he's tried so many different things in the past, but unfortunately, all of them have had sadness/disappointment. The one bit of hope is the question mark - looking towards the future. Makes me wonder what the other avenues were. Different games, different channels, different lifestyles?

[@regimiro4888]

[@MrTri-qq6ws]

I have actually played Inscryption with some friends and so in game the wizards whole things is that he was sensory deprived and thus wanted to seek stimulation, so i think the image of the wizard means that Bing Soy no longer gets the stimulation he wants from playing TF2 conventionally, but the unconventional methods give him some overall fun. (just a theory and I know like no one will read this so if you did then thanks to you and to Bing Soy)

[@jumptherooftops6333]

That makes a lotta sense, I just honed in on the loneliness aspect but I like your theory better

[@lilshadow48]

That's probably it, and it's very relatable once you've played for a long time. After a certain point the regular playstyles really do just feel like playing with your brain off. I've started doing different loadouts lately for that exact reason, though I think I'm gonna get weirder with it after learning of this legend.

[@brianeagan8628]

i was just about to say that!

[@ubmunique]

I imagine the "blank page answer" to your final question really meant that TF2 is a blank canvas, and you should paint on it to make it your own painting, symbolizing that you should make how you play your own, instead of following meta or other people's way of playing, AKA, have fun.

[@someweeb6897]

Quite.

[@Aodhan_Raith]

I 100% agree. His pixel art is very nice. It's easy to look at, and effective at conveying his messages. I think the reason he communicates this way is because it gets you to think about his messages rather than just hearing words. Words sometimes go over our heads, but if we're forced to think about it, it could very well more easily change our perspective.

[@HybridHenderson]

[@athecata2597]

[@maxcreamer8087]

It’s so sad that Bing Soy feels “otherized”. When I was watching his footage I couldn’t help but think “wow that’s what me and my friends have been doing for years just because of how bored we are of the game but still want to play”. Bing Soy if you’re reading this you’re not alone, we’re here for you brother!

[@Deadgye]

Not too long after it was released, whenever our server was voted to hightower, me and my friends would exclusively play pyro to airblast people off the cliff as they turned the bend, then taunt as they fell to their deaths. It was one of the few ways we could milk fun out of the hour long map.

[@kurwanko]

Well, you know, he could be saying about his personal life, not tf2. Many people feel very lonely and left alone, even with thousands people on the internet watching you. You don't need a million unknown people that will never help you, sometimes, you just need 1 good friend that will make your whole life easier.

[@ryan_1314]

After watching the video and reading comments, I really like bing soy's unique approach to everything. It's probably out of boredom, but also to find new ways of doing things that may be better than stardard ways. Even his QnA answers were unique; instead of answering with text or live chat, he answered with images, and whether purposeful or not, provides a level of ambiguity to his answers where several meanings could be drawn. I've seen other channels do videos of unique strategies like shortstop ledge camping or teammates killbinding and providing infinite cabers, but those are just youtubers playing gimmics for a video topic, while bing soy seems to do it for fun regardless of it being recorded. He's really a breath of fresh air to the tf2 community, and a reminder to have fun playing around instead of constantly trying to win 100% efficiently. I've had plenty of funny loadouts I've wanted to try such as dropping down and holiday punching an unsuspecting enemy before burning them with huo fire, and seeing someone else go for crazy trickshots like that gives me all the more reason to try those out. Thank you bing for keeping the game fresh, keep finding new ways for you to have fun, and godspeed. o7

[@SirPembertonS.Crevalius]

This is the most cryptic and loveable TF2 player I've ever seen. Bing Soy: -Plays Tf2 in very unconventional ways. -Sends a google drive link with pictures instead of simple answers. -Makes impressive pixel art. -Has great editing skills on his channel. -Is committed to the silence. I hope Bing Soy keeps on enjoying and TF2 and inspires others to embrace the wacky and chaotic charm that TF2 can bring.

Bing Soy has a point. What makes these old games so much fun, is the "Emergent Gameplay". Stuff that you learn to do out of "quirks" from the game engine. Such as rocket jumping or ninjaneering Games should learn from making their games simple on the surface, and adding the depth to be more "discoverable". Modern games are too structured to allow for creativity

Bing Soy reminds me of a player I used to know back on Kbz's Turbine Server named ".tesseract.". He mostly played scout, but the thing about him was that the only thing he'd ever say is "Good job, .tesseract.". His spray? "Good job, tesseract!" Every single weapon in his inventory? "The Good Job". Every description for those weapons? "Good job, tesseract.". He was an enigma to every player on the server, but he was a damn good teammate that's for sure. There was only one time he said something that wasn't the usual, but I sadly can't remember what he said. It was probably something simple like "Hi.", but it made people freak out for a while. It seems that he's been offline since 2018. If you happen to find this message .tesseract., all I can say is: "Good job, .tesseract."

The Lonely Wizard from Inscryption is a character that was driven insane due to sensory deprivation. Basically locked in the void for an unknown length of time. Once free, he would cling (sometimes literally) to anything that gave him a sensory experience. Any sight, sound, even pain when defeating him he enjoyed. I'm not sure how to apply that to Bing Soy. My best guess would be doing things for the sake of doing something. Maybe Bing Soy is challenging themself in order to feel new experiences. Maybe it symbolizes keeping the game fresh and feeling alive even when the content has stagnated for so long

[@blizz7249]

[@tugazu]

Just represents a seeking for stimulation

[@realmartin8555]

It probably means he doesn’t care if he wins or loses since (like the lonely wizard) doesn’t mind losing and has fun either way

[@homieseaotter5190]

24:31 In inscryption, the lonely wizard is a character who has been trapped in complete isolation for most of his life, and seeks out any form of stimuli after being freed. This probably means he was feeling lonely and isolated, and is looking for connection through tf2. The cabin in the woods in the “other” folder also seems to resemble leshy’s cabin from inscryption, so take this as you will. It’s worth mentioning that inscryption had a huge ARG associated with it.

[@grump0639]

It could also open up the possibility that all the wacky tactics that Bing Soy has up his sleeves is his form of "stimulation" (alluding to the lonely wizard in inscryption) because his tactics are so out there and never done before, meaning that the dopamine rush or stimuli taken from performing the task makes him embody the character of the lonely wizard by trying things that nobody else has ever done in an effort to find stimulation.

24:46 That Inscryption character is called the "Lonely Wizard". He was tortured for many years by total sensory deprivation, and by the time you meet him his whole character revolves around how he is completely obsessed with any form of stimulation after having been denied it for so long. Anything that happens to Lonely Wizard, good or bad, is euphoric just because it's better than no sensation at all I interpret this as Bing Soy being lonely, or perhaps having been lonely at some time in the past, and now he is getting a sense of euphoria when he is recognised in a crowd for his unusual behaviour

[@VoidShrgn]

Interesting take, I can definitely see that being the case. If that's the way bing wanted us to interpret it then I hope he's doing good.

[@turbulent_oven5217]

I think it also had something to do with the graphic at the beginning of one of his videos. The one that shows a stick figure getting progressively sadder, with the description, something good can come out of something bad. I think that means that he was severely depressed, and now that he's out of it, no matter what happens, at least it is something. Depression is described as a lack of any emotion, so this would make sense with your prediction. Now that he's no longer depressed, even the most crippling sadness is better than nothing.

[@turbulent_oven5217]

Also, the stick, sticker and stickest image could mean that he was isolated from people, and found an escape in the form of tf2

Two years late, but seeing this video- Bing Soy is very creative! His art is fantastic and communicating through drawing and interpretation is incredibly smart. Getting complex emotions across in an artistic way is tough, but he managed incredibly well.

[@grigorecosmin]

23:01 I think it is pretty clear that the drawings represent the way things evolved. The story is in 3 parts - "Stick" is him and elmaxo, representing the first interaction, "Sticker" represents all the people that started stalking him after elmaxo featured him and launched the investigation, and "Stickest" represents someone invading his home (his privacy, his retreat, the game). That also ties to the "requiem" video where the happy face became sad, which illustrates the fact that it was great at first, but it soon became a bad experience because even though he liked the new attention it didn't allow him to play the game and experience things the way he did when he was a random player, and no one cared about him.

"Stickest" feels like an image expressing the concept of self-imposed solitude, heading to a cabin in the woods. Combine that with the TF2 logo window and the previous stick drawing and it seems like it's "I escaped my outcast status in real life by choosing to live in TF2."

24:42 The Lonely Wizard from Inscryption is a wizard that has been locked up in a dark room deprived of all stimulation as his final test. When we meet the character, it desperately wants to fight you so as to stimulate himself. He craves stimulation a lot throughout the entire game. My guess is that this means Bing Soy plays TF2 like how he does for he craves some sort of stimulation.

[@dragonskywalker5507]

Or he's just lonely as the name suggests

[@huuminbloodborn7570]

STIMULATION

[@Kawn0]

good theory, some other things I thought of regarding The Lonely Wizard are these things - the lonely wizard is also a book, where the synopsis reads "The Lonely Wizard thinks he can ease his loneliness and boredom with his magical powers. But all his spells simply make him yawn. When another lonely wizard becomes his neighbor, they both realize that friendship and cooperation are truly the most magical things of all" my take away: Bing Soy thought he could ease his boredom and loneliness by doing silly things and wacky tricks, its a combination of friendly and tryhard, he does silly things friendly's often do, but also does insane tricks often seen by tryhards. This didn't work out though as most tf2 players ignore what they assume is a "bad player", "new player", or "a kid" not knowing how to play the game, so they dont bother to give him any attention and bing soy is running out of ideas or repeating his wacky ideas so much he is boring himself. But then elmaxo "becomes his neighbor" a player who was bored one night and by chance happened to meet Bing Soy, where they quickly became friends, and are cooperating, in a way, to try to change TF2 for the better, where it's more friendly and cooperative. -The Lonely Wizard was trying to become a card so that he could fight, take damage, and die. We constantly see Bing Soy doing this very thing, rushing into battle to fight, taking tons of damage, and dying, but all while still trying to be useful in some way, a sort of "im taking you with me" mentality. The Lonely Wizard was locked in a pitch black room, but managed to escape as seen in the Magnificus boss fight, where he does what he said he wanted to do "I wish to see the light again! T- to sing! To dance!" and what is one thing Bing Soy is famous for? Taunting, which can be seen as the same as "dancing", and another thing he is known for lines up, him looking at the view at the cliffs, seeing the light. Bing Soy obviously feels a close connection with The Lonely Wizard, so it's hard to say exactly what all he relates to when we still dont know much about him in the first place.

[@Applesmack]

I love all these discussions and answers, but I haven't seen anyone else bring up what I realized: He drew the Lonely Wizard because just like the wizard, he too is isolating himself as a sort of "sensory deprivation training" of his own! No text or voice communication of any kind, for the most part. It plays into Bing's mission here.

[@sehnsehnsehn]

as for 28:05, the drawing likely represents a "choice timeline" like the one you can see in Detroit: Become Human. I believe what he intends to say with this one is that, he feels like he needs to make big decisions as he goes forward and doesn't want to make the wrong choice which will lead down a ":("/sad path. similar to what sleepy and corey said, but they guessed that this timeline shows what has already happened. Meanwhile i believe it shows an uncertain future that Bing Soy is worried about, one of the main reasons for this is that there is a ball at the start of the timeline that likely represents the present, meaning none of these paths has happened yet and the "?" represents the future path he needs to take to avoid :(

[@GrachiPlays]

those were exactly my thoughts as soon as i saw it, in all honesty its one of the only ones i understood right away. there's a bunch of branching paths that all lead to the wrong choice, and then the right path has a question mark next to it. that immediately struck me as a simple question of "am i going down the right path?"

[@curro5145]

exactly what i thought

[@matthewbaang8749]

that's exactly what i was thinking. what i compile from the image is that that highlighted branch is an uncertain future/plan he chose to take, because in all the other branches, he sees himself in a sad spot. like, if he were to branch out to the path of working overtime for youtube or spreading positivity in tf2, he'd burn himself out and would be stressed and disheveled, as stated in his other drawing. we don't exactly know what path bing soy has decided to take, and frankly, he doesn't know if this path will do him good or bad, but hopefully it's the latter. bing soy is a treasure and a hero to tf2,

[@ΓιώργοςΤσομπανάκης-ο5δ]

it ultimately depicts something similar to "Loki" the marvel series. In it, multiverses branch and deviate from one main pathline. This could mean that he has ideas for different things and branching out, but those ideas dont come to fruition

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

Bing Soy is such a breath of fresh air, on one hand, the strategies used are really bizarre and entertaining to watch. On the other hand, Bing Soy's way of communication and expression is really out-of-the-ordinary, yet so relatable. I really hope to see more from Bing Soy.

[@jamesruth100]

The way they communicate reminds me a lot of a kid I was sort of friends with when I was a lot younger. I was in therapy for school mandated "anger management" issues, since I finally had enough and had beat up a long time bully, but once the mandated time period passed my parents stuck with him because he helped me out a lot. Eventually, my therapist enrolled me in this sort of after school program for autistic kids and I became friends with a kid who was non-verbal autistic. I don't remember his name but I remember that he wouldn't talk to anyone but if he needed to communicate he would write down what he wanted to say, use physical gestures like pointing or nodding, or use a set of note cards that I guess his parents help him prepare for simple stock phrases (such as asking the adult watching us if he could use the bathroom). I wonder if Bing Soy is non-verbal as well, or maybe they're just shy / self conscious and that's why they go to such lengths to converse.

[@DestroyedArkana]

@@jamesruth100 Yeah it reminds me how I would play Halo 3 as a kid. I had a lot of family issues as a kid and used video games as an escape during a lot of that time. His art developed really well, it's a nice pixel style on those question responses!

[@NiquidFox]

Preface : I could be totally wrong but heres what I interpreted : Bing Soy is a player from China, and I suspect his Winnie the Pooh video alludes to that (Xinnie the Pooh meme). It could also explain why he plays on an Australian server depending on where he is I genuinely think he is so abrasive to direct communication because the government heavily monitors online activity of individuals. He communicates in a way that cannot be easily tracked, or deciphered - By using the game itself, and cryptic images. The image of him under the huge magnifying glass to me emphasizes that he is under heavy scrutiny from a much bigger entity than the gaming community which is the CCP. The small veins in the eye make me think of the government because it comes off as very aggressive I think that he is trying to say he appreciates the attention, but the stress of gaining attention (presumably from the government) is why he communicates in such a cryptic way. He feels isolated from the community because he WANTS to be more active and participate in chat, but he cant do so, which makes him feel isolated, but also sad seeing those who ARE participating in the chat are more often than not negative. I think he expresses disappointment with the community that they take freedom of speech for granted. He might be playing in such a way as a call for help almost, or he could just enjoy it. I could be totally wrong but this is what I took away from the symbolism

He's clearly a player that enjoys experimenting, and trying loadouts more geared towards "fun" than the meta. Even his style of communication, prefering art to text, shows this. So at 29:15 , I don't think a drawing of a blank page truly means he has nothing to say. I think it's blank for a reason. A blank slate. A message for everyone to fill in the blank, to have fun with a game that's been fading(paper is peeling) and make it their own.
