This is pretty exciting to us - it's the first time a game made by someone other than us allows you to find TF2 items by playing it. If you'd asked us, as we slaved away on TF2 back in '63, whether one day you'd be able to get the Heavy's first minigun off him by playing poker, we'd think you were nuts. Then we'd have hired you, because you had a vision for the future.

If you're curious, here's the set of items that you'll be able to collect inside Poker Night at the Inventory:
<ul>
<li><strong>The Enthusiast's Timepiece</strong> - Tycho's favorite timepiece <i>(equippable by the Spy)</i></li>
<li><strong>License to Maim</strong> - Max's Badge <i>(equippable by all classes)</i></li>
<li><strong>The Lugermorph</strong> - A second chance at Max's personal armament <i>(equippable by the Scout and the Engineer)</i></li>
<li><strong>The Iron Curtain</strong> - The Heavy's first love <i>(equippable by the Heavy, obviously)</i></li>
<li><strong>Dangeresque, Too?</strong> - Strong Bad's styling glasses <i>(equippable by the Demoman) </i></li>
</ul>

Two blog posts in two days? Your eyes don't deceive you. We're blog-writing machines this week, and there's plenty of gas in the tank.

Today's update includes both of the Art Pass Contest Winners' maps: Mountain Lab by Valentin "3Dnj" Levillain, and Mann's Manor by Tim "YM" Johnson and Alex Kreeger.

Also included in this update: You being scared! <i></i> That's right, it's the <a href="http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/">Second Annual Team Fortress Halloween Special</a>. Will there be ghosts? Quite possibly. Will there be exploding pumpkins? You never know. Will you wet your pants in terror? If you're anything like us, emphatically yes.

And what more perfect holiday than Halloween to add the scariest feature yet to the Mann Co. Store: Gift wrapping! If someone decides to trick or treat on your server, wrap up that spare bottle of Jarate and give them the gift a thousand words could never describe, and a thousand therapist appointments will never undo.

Also added to the store: new community items themed for Halloween and a few scary hats of our own dark design. Some of these new holiday items are only available to purchase during the holiday, but will remain wearable all year round, so grab 'em while they're grabbable.
