IGN Wrote:Starting at midnight tonight, anyone playing Vindictus will see some mysterious additions to Nexon's action packed, session-based MMO. Although tomorrow is April Fool's day, this is no joke -- Valve characters and items are invading Vindictus. Portal's silent hero the Companion Cube and everyone's favorite ambiguously Eastern-European maniac Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2 will be making appearances for one day only. They will be part of a new quest line called "Strange Travelers" which tasks players with helping the two return from whence they came.

While TF2 and Portal are great, we seem to be missing one very important Valve franchise. Completing the quest will randomly net players either Gordon Freeman's iconic crowbar, a Combine helmet, or a headcrab helmet. These, like the quest that dispenses them, are only available on April 1st, though they can be sold on the open market after that date. For clarification -- despite the April 1st release, these are real and only obtainable on Friday.

If you want to get your hands on Gordon's crowbar (that came out wrong) then head over to the Vindictus website and sign up. It's free, and it's a damned lot of fun
