This month our community managers, Matt Grandstaff and Nick Breckon, kick off our latest community initiative, The Bethesda Podcast. Tune in to hear interviews with developers, community news, and the latest updates on our games.

For the inaugural podcast, the two caught up with Todd Howard (Bethesda Game Studios) and Tim Willits (id Software) to trade stories from QuakeCon, discuss post-apocalyptic games, and learn how to build blockbusters. The podcast also features an update from Fallout: New Vegas senior producer Jason Bergman.

Our PAX 2010 Lineup

Next week we descend upon Seattle for PAX Prime (Sept. 3-5). Come play Brink, Fallout: New Vegas, and Hunted: The Demon’s Forge in our booth (Booth #s 1132 & 1142). Fans visiting our booth will be able to grab some cool swag – including New Vegas, Hunted, and Brink t-shirts!
 
In addition, we’ll be showing a special presentation of RAGE on Friday, Sept. 3rd from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm in the Serpent Theater at the Washington State Convention Center. If you  plan on attending, make your way to the theater early as we expect a packed house!

The Pit of Kala Moor

This massive pit is in the wasteland known as Kala Moor, and is the current home of The Dragons and The Demon's Forge. Miles of tunnels wind down into the depths of the pit while chambers contain Annuvin’s armies…as well as a host of other of other vicious creatures that have been spawned from its depths.

The Spider Lair

This is a concept of the subterranean lair of the massive arachnid that terrorizes the denizens of the dungeons underneath the town of Dyfed. Strictly speaking the concept is not of the lair itself, but more of the space where the tribe of Wargar, who inhabit these depths, gather to pay homage and place offerings in an effort to appease the beast.  It is, however, unclear if these efforts have any effect on the disposition of the beast as warriors of the tribe continue to mysteriously disappear.

GamesCom/QuakeCon Wrap Up

Before PAX, we were busy showing our latest titles at QuakeCon 2010  in Dallas, TX, as well as GamesCom  in Cologne Germany. Head to Bethesda Blog for roundups on Hunted, New Vegas, RAGE, Brink, and more.

Pre-Order Bonuses Announced
