QuakeCon 2009 fragging Dallas August 13-16

by Jason Dobson on Dec 18th 2008 7:15PM

There will be gibs aplenty next summer as id Software and QuakeCon organizers have announced that QuakeCon 2009 will take place in Dallas, TX from August 13 through 16. For the third year running, the annual frag fest will be held at the Hilton Anatole Hotel, and as usual will be free to anyone who can squeeze through the door.

As in years prior, the weekend gathering will play host to news, events, tournaments and what organizers dub as North America's largest BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) LAN party. For those wishing to sleep at ground zero, the hotel has a special QuakeCon reservation page, and everyone can begin warming up their GPUs when online registration opens the evening of March 6, 2009. Campers beware.

Why PC gamers gotta be fat and not console gamers? :(

We traded the fatties for the semi-retarded homophobes.

we traded the fatties for the semi-retarded homophobes... you don't remember that deal?

shit

Tell me again bout the fatties and the homophobes George.

Apparently, he likes trading them for semi-retarded homophobes...

I know quake is not the only game played at this event, but I would be scared to try and play that game online again. The people who still play that game are wayyyyyy to hardcore.

Its the same reason I don't go back to Tribes or Counterstrike 1.5

Ahh, Tribes. The good old days...

Wow, I'd hate to be in that room during the Chili Cookoff

I love LAN parties. I don't know if I would love one that large however.

Is that a P180 I see?

been the past two years...great experience...if you can play the game online there is usually someone to play with. They have a DC++ channel set up...can always spam it for a game. Last year someone shared flatout 3 at like 3 in the morn and we got about 50 people playing in. Plan on going again this year. Tons of fun, free shit, free Bawls. Recommend it to anyone who is looking to lan.

How much do they pay an electrician to wire the power for this event? I know that room isn't specifically wired for that much power in that concentrated of an area.

That's a lot of power being pulled.
