Sound of Blog Post Being Posted

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! [sound of bat wings] That’s right, it’s the Second Annual Team Fortress Halloween Special. 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.
