Ahh yes, another year, another QuakeCon. The annual mecca for all things id Software (and now all things Bethesda Softworks, as well) will be returning to Texas this year on August 12-15, presumably with the usual three-plus hours of John Carmack keynote in tow (he goes on and on because he loves!).
As usual, the goings-on will be free, with the 72 hours of pure, unfiltered nerddom sponsored by parent company Zenimax Media (alright, alright -- it's very likely that the Bawls energy drink company is putting up some money as well). Little is known about the actual events of the show this year outside of the aforementioned cursory details, though, yes, the traditional event-wide network will again be available for attendees who bring PC rigs. That means order the purple neon light for your PC today, friends, not tomorrow.

Its in Dallas right? I remember being invited by UT Dallas when I was applying for college and how one thing a recruiter mentioned was of John Carmack being from the area and I believe even having taught in the university.

It was in Dallas last year. Even though I live right in the area, I've never attended.

Oh and I meant to say it's more then likely in Dallas again, since they're based here.

If it's hot again, they'll be having sweaty bawls.

Hmm, I would like to go since I finally got a job back in the DFW area except I have a kid due right around the same time... I bet the wife would understand. Right?

I had a blast last year. I also went in '04 and '05 when it was at the Gaylord. Last year they moved last minute from Hilton to Gaylord, so I've yet to attend while its at Hilton. I really hope its as nice as the Gaylord, because that place is epic.
