VALVE is mailing out IRS Form 1099 in a couple of days for Tax Reporting purposes.

For those of you whom are non-US Citizens, a different form or 1099 "may" be mailed to you as well at VALVE's discretion, based on tax treaties of your specific country.

For those US Residents whom are brand new to Taxes, this must be filed in your tax return for this year. Oh and if you breach a certain threshold you should problably save some VALVE money to pay that tax.

Over at polycount the idea was thrown around to have a monthly comptetion where they would have a vote and spend the next month creating a items aimed toward a hero. This isn't an official Valve competition, but a friendly community one. Items can range from entire sets, to wards, to couriers, anything you want, as long as you follow the theme of the hero that is chosen for the month. Since this was started at such an odd time, this month will continue though February.

Feburary's winner was Mirana!

RULES

1 - Open for teams of any size.
2 - Open for sets, solo items, couriers, ward and annoucers.

Have fun guys!

Valve has updated the test client with new tools. You can now test multiple items on a single character, so you can now see the entire set on the character at the same time. They also added a new view mode in the client so you can view the item from the portrait view. We also don't have to keep going back to the folder where we have all of our files, it now saves the directory which is a nice minor addition.

They have also added the tools to upload couriers and wards. Which is fantastic for most of us that have been making those and going though the pain in the ass method.

If you havent checked your bank account, Valve should have paid it out.
