Pre-purchase the "everything explained in the title" game <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/48720/">Mount & Blade With Fire & Sword</a> by May 3rd and you'll receive two new TF2 hats: The Hetman's Headpiece for the Engineer, and the Janissary Ketche for the Spy, pictured above.

What else is up? This: <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/92800">SpaceChem</a>, the game Robin Walker dubbed "<a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/robinwalker/recommended/">pretty much the greatest game ever made</a>," has introduced three new TF2-themed levels. Travel to Australia, solve puzzles and unlock achievements to receive the new craftable element Moustachium in TF2. Use this new element to craft special SpaceChem-themed items, including a fishcake. That's right: this marks the start of a trend we're all for: other developer working their butts off to make a promotion <i>for us</i>. "Put your feet up, Team Fortress Team," SpaceChem seems to be saying. "You let <i>us</I> handle this one." Don't mind if we do, SpaceChem. <i>Don't mind if we do.</i>

And in community news:<ul>

All of us here on the TF2 team have been asking to play Portal 2 for months now.

"Go away," the Portal guys told us. "You'll just try to put hats in it."

"Whaaattttt?" we said. "That's—psshhhh. If anything, we'll probably tell you to take some hats <i>out</i> of the game."

"There <i>are</i> no hats in the game."

After this, there was an awkward ten-minute silence while all of on the TF2 team stared at the Portal guys, waiting for them to start laughing. Instead, they just told us to go away again. That's when we realized: with so little time left before release, we couldn't <i>afford</i> to waste any time playing the game. We had to fix it. Now. So late last night we snuck into the Portal 2 source code and copy/pasted some hats into it.

You're <i>welcome</i>, Portal 2 team.

Today, we pass the fruits of our clandestine game-saving labor onto you, the hat-loving public (or as you're more commonly known, the public). If you own any of the following hats in Team Fortress 2, you'll be able to equip them on your Cooperative Testing Initiative robots in Portal 2:<ul>
<li>Mann Co. Cap</li>
<li>Prince Tavish's Crown</li>
<li>Pyro's Beanie</li>
<li>Fancy Fedora</li>
<li>Master's Yellow Belt</li>
<li>Tyrant's Helm</li>
</ul>
If you've been on the fence up until now—and who could blame you—you've finally got a reason to buy <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/620/">Portal 2</a>. Courtesy of Team Fortress 2. The best game that Valve makes with a "2" on the end.
