[quote]All of us here on the TF2 team have been asking to play Portal 2 for months now.
"Go away," the Portal guys told us. "You'll just try to put hats in it."
"Whaaattttt?" we said. "That's—psshhhh. If anything, we'll probably tell you to take some hats out of the game."
"There are no hats in the game."
After this, there was an awkward ten-minute silence while all of on the TF2 team stared at the Portal guys, waiting for them to start laughing. Instead, they just told us to go away again. That's when we realized: with so little time left before release, we couldn't afford to waste any time playing the game. We had to fix it. Now. So late last night we snuck into the Portal 2 source code and copy/pasted some hats into it.
You're welcome, Portal 2 team.
Today, we pass the fruits of our clandestine game-saving labor onto you, the hat-loving public (or as you're more commonly known, the public). If you own any of the following hats in Team Fortress 2, you'll be able to equip them on your Cooperative Testing Initiative robots in Portal 2:
Mann Co. Cap
Prince Tavish's Crown
Pyro's Beanie
Fancy Fedora
Master's Yellow Belt
Tyrant's Helm
If you've been on the fence up until now—and who could blame you—you've finally got a reason to buy Portal 2. Courtesy of Team Fortress 2. The best game that Valve makes with a "2" on the end.[/quote]
Well that was fast
You see? They did it for a joke, a bit of humor, that's all, you whiners really ought to learn to take a joke.
Oh, so you get a little free hats for Portal 2 after all, given you are lucky enough to have any of those TF2 hats.
Which I don't, of course :v:

Yeah right, they had planned this. Or were we supposed to believe that?

I only have the mann co cap, but I'm ok with it.
Is it bad that I imagined this is how it happened? Robin Walker stealing the keys to the Portal 2 workspace and feverishly copy-pasting from Notepad at 2 in the morning.
I always chuckle when I see a blog post where they are blatantly poking fun at themselves and the community in a playful manner. :v:
I want my potato co-op skin goddamnit!
Portal guys obviously need to learn to chill out and accept that hats make ALL video games atleast by minimum 20% cooler. Really, what self respecting game developer doesn't have hats in their game? Also, pyro purse as misc item for that orange bot.

There's a more than likely chance that Valve doing this might spark a fad in the development community. Do you REALLY want $5 cosmetic items in every game?
That post actually gave me a good laugh. :v:
Where is mah god damn dx8 freeze fix :mad:
They know about the hats :tinfoil:
I wish they'd add in more.
I only have two of those hats.

Oh just bloody wonderful.
Like a hopeless case of terminal cancer, TF2 is spreading itself out to infect all the healthy parts that it happens to come across.
