QuakeCon Kicks Off on Thursday

Just a friendly reminder that the all-things-id convention, QuakeCon, kicks off this Thursday in Dallas, Texas.

This year will include a chance to win a Corvette, Brawl chugging, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars tournaments, Guitar Hero contests and plenty more. The convention will give gamers a chance to check out id's new browser-based Quake Live, watch pro-gaming documentary FRAG and play a bit of tourney poker.

The highlight for the show for us non-attendees though will be John Carmack's keynote during the id press conference Thursday morning. Here's hoping we hear more about id Tech 5.

Don't worry, we've already got an interview set up and are plugged into whatever announcements maybe coming. In the meantime check out our interview with Carmack and company earlier this month to hear him talking about his new game engine, new publisher and the future of PC and Apple gaming.

QuakeCon

I should be up there on Saturday hopefully checking out their new engine and seeing a few buddies. I *might* show up Friday if I can find time.

I have to work all weekend, so I can't. I've got a couple friends going though.

Man, nobody else? I know QuakeCon isn't large but I thought there would be a few more people. ;_;

I live in Canada. I'd go if I lived in Dallas. :P

please let it be another Doom

I am in Oregon, all my money I make go towards college :( besides friends holding a 50 man lan

If Left 4 Dead was at QuakeCon, I'd probably ditch work...but I haven't heard of it being there...they had it at last year's QuakeCon but it was quite a wait to play.

And yeah, instead of QuakeCon we're gonna have a LAN party hehe.

Haha I just realized you live in Texas, Twesterm...of course you're going. If you live within 500 miles of QuakeCon you don't have as much of an excuse...
