Nice lovely Friday evening!
I did all my partying yesterday, so let’s play some TF2!
![Sure Looks Like Steam Wallet Cards Are Coming to GameStop This Week [Update]
The pictures looked good, but we couldn’t get confirmation back when Luke broke the news a week ago that GameStop would begin selling Steam cash vouchers. Well, a second tipster’s sent us another couple of pictures of the cards and their display, basically confirming that the games retailer will start selling them.
Though the picture above appears to be of a display currently out on the floor, I called a few GameStops, asked if they were selling Steam cards, and was told no. So I wouldn’t take this as news they are on sale right now. Our tipster did not supply the location of this photo.
The original rumor said they’ll go on sale Tuesday (May 15).
Steam cards, in addition to being a gift certificate of sorts, are also a way for kids to buy up games without using Mom or Dad’s credit card. When first reported, the arrangement was said to be “kind of a sensitive issue” between Valve and GameStop, the leading brands in digital distribution and physical retail sales in North America, respectively.
UPDATE - Readers are letting us know some stores, like the GameStop in Batavia, New York, have already begun selling the cards.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m40fbeHt6Y1qcn852o1_1280.jpg)

Mann Vs Machine
If you’ve done your share of snooping and speculating (or if you read the /r/TF2 forums OR the steam powered user forums) then you probably know valve has been working on something right under our noses.
Those who have used cheats to noclip through Cp_foundry have seen these mysterious pictures in which the the scout and heavy are both intrigued and frightened by. What could it be? I see robots, robots baby.
Even MORE snooping brings someone to this room found in the opposing teams base. Auto-borax?
Take out the read between the lines and you have Tobor. FLIP IT AND YOU HAVE ROBOT!
Finally there is this.

MANN VS MACHINE

I was wanting to make something warm and bright, just like spring. I think it’s warm and bright enough, and also music fits it good, so I’m pretty happy with the result.
