[quote]This morning Robin Walker threw a birthday party and nobody came. Before you start feeling sorry for him, though, keep in mind he didn't actually invite anybody. He just keeps emailing the TF team pictures of himself in his backyard - jumping around in an inflatable jungle gym he rented, forcing a hired clown to make him balloon animals, and unwrapping gifts he bought himself.
Robin's increasingly sad collection of birthday pictures reminded us that Team Fortress turns fifteen today. To celebrate, we've decided to throw a party ourselves. And unlike Robin, we're inviting everybody. For the next 24 hours, anybody who plays TF2 is going to get:
A free party hat!
A free noisemaker that will have unlimited uses on Team Fortress's birthday and can only be used each year on that day!
Free cake and gifts (in the form of remodeled health kits and ammo packs)!
You'll also see the return of the best stuff from previous TF birthday celebrations, including:
The Team Fortress Birthday Beach Ball!
The Celebration Gib, which causes gibbed players to explode in a shower of balloons and confetti!
We've got the balloons, we've got the presents, we've got the birthday cake. All we're missing is you. (And Robin. Judging from these pictures he's not coming back to work any time soon. The last one had him watching a magic show while riding a donkey wearing a little sombrero. No idea who's taking all these pictures. Possibly the clown.)[/quote]

Damn, I should've posted this sooner.
Poor Robin, having a party on his own.
Are the party hats referring to the birthday mode hats, or an actual item?
All class hat
Lets hope Steam will actually start for me today.

A real item with no usage limit it seems.
Also, woo! beach ball!

Its a separate Hat you can wear all year round (I think) but its the exact same model as the one from the Birthday events I believe
EDIT: nevermind, sorry

It's always fun with a beach ball :dance:
Ah, the beach ball. Brings back such good memories of being distracted for rounds at a time.

it did, it also didn't have the 15 Years button on it, nor the presents in the back

no party hat for me.
So, even if I've been playing for years, I won't get the hat if I don't play today?

[QUOTE=NeoDement;31923061]It's the same reason you don't get cake if you don't show up to your friends party even if you've known him for years[/QUOTE]Bullshit, my friend saves me a piece of cake if there's an extra slice and I've known him since we were in gradeschool.
[QUOTE=NeoDement;31923061]It's the same reason you don't get cake if you don't show up to your friends party even if you've known him for years[/QUOTE]
So even if the friend has me do something for him that will make me miss the party, like taking a bunch of his shit to store somewhere else, he won't give me any compensation?
Joy, more un-tradeable Holiday restricted items. Woo!
