Hey, heavym'n.

Team Fortress is a Quake mod that was picked up by Valve Software, ported to the Goldsource engine as a Half-Life mod, and then developed into a sequel named Team Fortress 2. The Team Fortress 2 version of The Heavy Weapons Guy (commonly shortened to The Heavy) appeared with Strong Bad (and briefly with Pom-Pom) in Poker Night at the Inventory.

In Poker Night at the Inventory, The Heavy and Strong Bad were both participants in a poker tournament at an exclusive club called The Inventory where video game characters relax on their days off. All of the characters in the game were performed by their official voice actors, including Strong Bad.
