Happy great birthday MINDNIGHT, and happy birthday to you all, we raise a glass for all of you that are supporting the game, helping us improving it and putting a lot of time and passion in MINDNIGHT.

With this update we come forward, finally, with trading cards, as we have been in discussions with Valve over them for quite some time now. Happy collecting and happy using the emoticons that come with it!
