QuakeCon 2004

[jeb3405]

Hey, i was wondering if anyone here is Going to be attending ID softwares annual QuakeCon this year? It is in Texas! (like always)

[Anonymous]

No ride to texas, but its not like i would care anyway, i cant stand Quake, or any of its family members.

(just my opinion though)

[jeb3405]

Dude... It is a massive free lan that has free stuff and just happens to be sponsored by ID. They will have servers Running COD and CS as well as ID games and other games that get suggested in the Quakecon forums.

[omgwtfdan]

QuakeCon is a lan party, right?

[omgwtfdan]

It sound's like fun.

[jeb3405]

Much fun indeed!

[Anonymous]

I don't relaly play either of those games.

CoD CS anything from ID software.

Not my forte.

But hey, suit yourself ^^

Besides im not really a lan person, myself.

texas is to far for me.. a few pepole have invited me but no one ever offers to pay for the airfare.

[MajinHurricane]

I want to go to the one penny-arcade is having.

its in bellevue (3 hours away)

[jeb3405]

Your taking that as a Subsitute for Quakecon 8O

[Anonymous]

I dunno.

Penny arcade is pretty cool.

[omgwtfdan]

Texas is far away, but St. Paul isn't and I can most likely catch a ride there. I still wouldn't do it because I don't feel like riding with someone I don't know.

If I had the chance to go to QuakeCon or Penny-Arcade's lan party, I would. But getting there would be the problem.

I would only drive if a couple of friends were coming with me. We could have a road trip. But that would take a long time.

Flying is expensive. Getting my computer through security would suck, unless it was a laptop, which I don't have. If I did get my computer through security I would be worrying that something might break.

I think driving would be the best choice.

here's that penny arcade one

Quakecon > Pax

Its Bigger
Its Free
Its @ a HUGE hotle
It has loads of free stuff

need I say more?

[omgwtfdan]

QuakeCon's hotel is at the Gaylord hotel. I have seen pictures of it and it looks very nice.

I might be able to go to Pax after all. It all depends on when we are flying to Seattle for our vacation. I dunno. Looks intresting indeed!

[jeb3405]

ya, i hate the hotle name :? saying the name makes me feel like :djsprink:

[omgwtfdan]

Yeah. They should have picked a different name. But it still looks like a nice hotel to stay in.

[Anonymous]

Yea but does QuakeCon have the guys that do penny arcade?
Does quakecon have internet royalty?

I think not.

[jeb3405]

Does Pax have John Carmack? Does Pax have free food? I dout it, stop defending the loser.

[Lucien]

Quiet down you two, get a room if you like each other that much...:}

John Carmack!

PSSH!

PAX has table top roleplaying, linked console games, AND the premiere of the Red vs. Blue DVD.

And you dont have to go to TEXAS (hell on earth) to be there.

Beat THAT.

[jeb3405]

Quakecon > Pax

Its Bigger
Its Free
Its @ a HUGE hotle

need I say more?

I already did beat it.

[omgwtfdan]

Go to both.

[jeb3405]

Why would I want to pay $13 to go to a lan?

[Anonymous]

Well, money doesn;t grow on freakin trees.

It's to help fund the thing.

PAX is alot less corporate.

And again, you dont have to go to Texas.

Being in texas is a major downer for Quakecon, but hey your call guys.

[jeb3405]

Why is Texas a downer?

[omgwtfdan]

Why would I want to pay $13 to go to a lan?

It doesn't matter which one you go to, you're going to be paying more than that. It costs money to get there you know, unless you live right down the street.

[Anonymous]

Why is Texas a downer?

It's Texas.

Utah may be america's anus, but Texas is america's skid mark.

I do Indeed.

Skidmark? Is that some sort of wierd insult?

[omgwtfdan]

If I lived right down the street, I would go. Just like you should.

You don't know what a skid mark is?

Or are you just not sure how to take skid mark as an insult?

I'm guessing the first one, because if you knew it would be obvious.

(skid mark is like, if someone takes a shit and doesnt wipe good, good so it leaves streaks of shit in their undies, i.e. skid marks.)

And that was my comparison.

[jeb3405]

at least it was a joke i havn't heard before :roll:

[Anonymous]

Well, you obviously didn't get it so.....

....

typical texas... :roll:

[jeb3405]

I get it, it just isn't funny.

[Anonymous]

It's because youre a Texan..
If you weren't you might find it funny.

[omgwtfdan]

I find it funny.

Haha. Stupid Texans.

Not...
