We are hyped for Starcraft 2!

The Fallout 3 show. Michelle and Jesse discuss their experience with Fallout 3. Jesse digs into the Starcraft II beta, and Valve releases Alien Swarm free on Steam.

Michelle and Jesse are all over the place but end up discussing the changes needed in MMOs. Playing: Fallout 3, Team Fortress 2. News: Dragon Age 2 announced, Star Wars: The Old Republic goes into testing.

Those of you who spent the weekend Tokyo drift-racing your way to a rap battle—or whatever it is people do when they go outside on the weekend—probably feel pretty good about yourselves right now. At the end of the day, though, what do you have to show for it? Vague memories of changing lanes. Twenty-five of the people who wisely chose to stay home and craft items, on the other hand, now have shiny new ultra-rare golden wrenches that they can keep. For a weekend? No. For a lifetime. Eat it, drift-racers. Eat all of it.

Luckily for you wrenchless unfortunates, there’s still time to get one. A further 75 golden wrenches can be found through crafting all this week*. We’ll also be teasing Engie’s new weapons (the first of which, the revenge-critting Frontier Justice, is currently on display)—with all of this culminating in the long-awaited Engineer Update this Thursday!**

*Note that we’ve disabled the Smelt Reclaimed Metal & Smelt Refined Metal recipes. They’ll work again once the Engineer Update goes live.

**Also note, wrenches can be found up until the 100th wrench has gone out. There is no per-day limit on the number of wrenches found, and distribution has been designed to be fair to all timezones. Every 25th wrench found will result in the release of more information on the Engineer Update.

Look here for the Engy Comic.

Jesse and Michelle are playing Fallout3 and Magic Online. Super stoked about the TF2 engineer update coming Thursday! News: Bioshock2 DLC and WoW Cataclysm closed beta.
