This one is even crazier.

So my sister and I took a friend to Valve today for a tour and to pick up our signed posters. I took my Archimedes with me to give to the TF2 team (a late b-day present I guess?). We even brought our little creations for the heck of it.

[Super huge Companion Cube and turret compared to our stuff haha]

We went on the tour once more with our friend because why not Valve is amazing. I nervously asked the tour guide if we could visit the TF2 team so that I could give them my Archimedes and she agreed to take us there.

When we got there everyone was working and it was quiet and awkward and I was freaking out in my head. But they finally took it and showed it to the other guys. My heart stopped when Robin Walker complimented it and showed it to other people.

HERE COMES THE CRAZY PART. He then asks me “So what’s your favorite TF2 class?” and I was like “OH uhh, ummm Engineer!”

He takes the Engineer bust off of the shelf and hands it to me, saying: “I hope this is a fair trade!”

ASLJDFHASDLFSD AND I SAID: “THIS IS MORE THAN A FAIR TRADE THANK YOU SO MUCH” (except I didn’t yell it, I was basically speechless lmao).

[HOLY F-CK SORRY I’M SWEARING BECAUSE AHHHHHH]

[Size comparison. Take a gander at my hand as well. ]

Valve, you will never cease to blow my mind. Thank you.
