Four years after its release, Team Fortress 2 remains a hit at the office, so it wasn’t a surprise when several folks at the office emailed me this TF2 tribute to our Skyrim trailer.
Back with a super-mega coverage roundup that includes videos, interviews, previews and more.
Let’s start with Skyrim…

We’re back with another All the RAGE profile. This week we meet QA tester Erica Stead…
What do you do at id Software and how long have you worked at the company?
I’m a QA tester. I’ve been at Id for over a year.
When did you decide you wanted to get into game development?
When I was in high school, I spent most of my weekends alone with the Playstation, thinking about how cool it would be to work on games. But it didn’t really seem like a realistic goal, so I don’t think I ever mentioned it to anyone. It was a long time later, after I had gotten a degree in something else, moved to Texas and went to QuakeCon for the first time that I realized I really did still want to work with games.
Watch the newly-released (and awesome) trailer for Lonesome Road — the fourth game add-on pack for Fallout: New Vegas, coming out on September 20th. Props to our very own Salinee Goldenberg for her great work on all the New Vegas DLC trailers!
In Lonesome Road you are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of Fallout: New Vegas. Ulysses promises the answer as to why he didn’t take the job, but only if you make one last journey into the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms. It’s up to you whether you take the job or not.
Lonesome Road will be available next week for download on Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network and Steam (Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft points, PlayStation Network and Steam for $9.99).
After stops in Seattle and San Diego, the Skyrim food truck goes back to school next week. On Friday September 23rd, the truck will be at UCLA’s campus between 11:30-3pm at 10928 Le Conte Avenue, Los Angeles, CA!
Hope to see you (and Bill Walton) there!
A week from release, Chris Avellone returns to discuss the second holotape you’ll discover in Lonesome Road…
The Fallout New Vegas DLCs have been a unique opportunity to do short stories in the Fallout universe, and a rare opportunity to know, for certain, you’re going to be able to do a series of adventures, with a clear ending. As a narrative designer that allows you to do something rare in the game industry – foreshadowing across multiple titles.
As an experiment, we decided to use this opportunity to tell an overarching story in the Fallout universe, and let the player see firsthand the wreckage left behind in the tracks of two couriers, from your Courier, to Elijah, to Christine, to the Sierra Madre, to Graham and the White Legs, to the Old World madness of the Big Empty… and lastly, the road that leads into the heart of the Divide and the player’s past through Ulysses’ eyes.
This is the second holotape your Courier can discover in Lonesome Road, and helps put Ulysses’ journey to Big MT in Old World Blues in perspective. It was another accident sparked by what happened at the Divide, with far-ranging consequences.
Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Watch YouTube sensation FPS Russia show you how to take down mutants from RAGE with weapons from the game.
See the explosions and stick around for the impromptu Dougie dance from the third mutant.
ESRB RATING: MATURE with Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Strong Language.
