The scene parallels that of the Administrator and Miss Pauling in the WAR! Update comic. Robin Walker can be viewed in this comic as a short-tempered blonde man with an enormous tower of hats, which continues off the page. Corey Peters, an employee mentioned briefly in blog posts, makes an appearance as the employee who delivers the news of the missing map to Robin. Finaly, a shady hacker wearing a Fancy Fedora, is seen distributing the video of the map to Youtube.
Comic Trivia
- Corey Peters is wearing a shirt with the logo for Portal 2, an upcoming Valve game.
- Robin is shown looking at the User hat checklist template, presumably for his wiki user page.
- A copy of "Hat Wearing Man" can be seen on Robin's control panel.
- There is a coffee cup stain on a button labeled Camera Beard. This is a reference to the alarming number of Camera Beard drops that occurred after the WAR! Update, suggesting that someone had left a cup atop the button to cause the drops.
- Another button depicting the Golden Wrench has been taped over, presumably to prevent any more from being awarded.
- Robin is also watching the popular YEAH TOAST Machinma video, featuring the Engineer.
