So we'll have the jetlagged version from Quakecon, and the extremely jetlagged version from Gamescom? Can't wait :)

On the plane now - it's gonna be a fun two weeks! First DC, then Dallas, then Cologne (via London and Dusseldorf), then finally home! If you do see me, Richard Ham, Richard Jolly, or Ed Stern, do walk up and say hi! I'm really looking forward to presenting to those of you that make it to Quakecon or Cologne!!! Not that there's anything wrong with the press, but I can't wait to show the game to players and ET fans!

Holy hell, never fails to stun the nuts off me the number of crashes I see in the US. And I used to travel the M3, M25 and M4 daily.

Yep we're okay, just a few bruises and slight whiplash, got back from the hospital about 1am this morning. We were very lucky lets put it that way - considering the taxi (we were in) was completely written off. It's work as normal today, just arrived at Bethesda's offices for some pre-Quakecon prep :stroggtapir:

Wasn't it a tapir who ran them of the road in the first place? I don't know how else the car could have been damaged towards completely getting written off. Glad to hear you guys are okay!

Presenting the game may be anticlimactic after a near death experience on American highways!

Damn what a bad way to be welcomed to the usa :( Glad everyone's alright. I'm glad locki mentioned that he's eager to show brink to "et fans", that's very promising! Can't wait for the videos.

I wish Quakecon wasn't a $2000 flight away. I almost bought tickets on the weekend. :P

Well it's certainly an appropriate one, Americans can't drive.

Well, with some tape it's possible for every lappy(smaller ones preferred). I have tried net while in a car and it's pretty good most of the times, even played W:ET once. Got the boredom away on a long drive.

So whenever we see you driving very patiently and cautious in a hog in-game, we KNOW someone is driving his car over the highway like a hog.
