Rage in a cage
Here’s a nice bit of pretend playing: Rage 2is “coming to Dreamcast.” Of course, that’s not strictly true. But Bethesda is running a promotion that dresses everything up in costume and keeping a straight face.
Bethesda’s giving this custom Rage 2machine away to one lucky person who follows the Rage account and retweets the following tweet:
Follow and RT for a chance to win this custom Dreamcast — and yes, it actually plays #RAGE2! https://t.co/0PRi91zYfI pic.twitter.com/oNRYt5sJW2

There’s some trickeration at play because the only functional thing about this Dreamcast is the case. The rest has been stripped out and replaced by a custom PC that’s loaded up with Rage 2; it also has HDMI output to easily hook to a monitor.It still has a distinctly late-90s/turn-of-the-millennium flair, the pinkRage 2logo splayed across the black shell almost like some sort of middle schooler’s trapper keeper that has way too many doodles and stickers.
Rage 2launches on May 14, meaning this is all coming to a head rather quickly. Bethesda is picking the winner sometime on Monday, May 6. Time is of the essence. One of you — I don’t care which one — go and win this thing right now. Believe it and you can achieve it. Envision it hard enough and maybe your dreams will be cast.
