Pretty much what the title says; the movie spoof posters seen in the loading screen campaigns turned into sprays. I pulled them from the Left 4 Dead Steam folder using programs over at Nem’s Tools. Desaturated versions have a more “used universe” look and do not stand out as much in-game. All images © Valve 2008.

Save the VTF file to both of these folders (Team Fortress 2 being the example):

1. \Steam\steamapps\accountname\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI
2. \Steam\steamapps\accountname\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos

Create the folders if they do not exist. You can select your sprays under the Multiplayer tab in the game Options.

I have a history of gaming. It started with Pac-Man in a Crystal’s restaurant. Then a Pong unit hooked up to our 12-inch black and white TV. Which was then followed up by an Atari 2600 and pile of games. Up until that point, I was still too young to be any good or really get into any gaming. Years later I sold my Atari 2600 and all the games so I could buy a Nintendo and the Legend of Zelda. I remember it taking two weeks to play through both quests of LoZ, faster than any of my friends. It was around that time that my gaming obsession really took off. I played many, many games on the NES. Friends and I would trade games like our fathers may have traded baseball cards.
