Summary: A small update sees shiny new medals for the Ready Steady Pan Tournament – season 2 added. The restrictions for the Tomb Raider promotional items are removed. Mann’s Mint and After Eight paints are available through the Mann Co. Store. Lets not forget the adjustments made to the TF2 beta in readiness for the now fabled SteamPipe update. In ‘the future’s brighter’ news, there’s to be a new TF2 comic coming in a month or two, sadly not to be linked to a major update. Despite what you may have heard Valve’s secret meetings at GDC were simply an inelaborate troll. A Pomona College senior writing an Economics & Psychology thesis is paying for people to play on his server then answer a 10min survey. Sounds brilliant but the reality is that the most you can expect to get it $2 for your time and chances are you don’t qualify anyway. You’ve got to be a pure free to play user with no experience of buying or trading and 10hours of TF2 on your account. That rules me out, and pretty much everyone I’ve ever met. The Round Robin are looking for casters for their seventh season. Everyone is welcome to give it a try. It may be daunting to think of yourself in that role but if you’re willing to give it a try they’re more than happy to help you fulfil that dream.
