new QuakeCon event - $10,000
An all new QuakeCon gaming event sponsored by NVIDIA - celebrating QUAKE's 10th birthday with a QUAKE 4 event created for the fans. If you're attending QuakeCon, start practicing. More details to come later this week.

I don't know a lot about quakecon, but way to drop the ball on that one.

Celebrate 10 years of quake by adding another "modified" (I guess) quake4 event? Please. They should celebrate the past 10 years by celebrating the past 10 years.

Run a single tournament event covering all 4 Quake's. Hold them all with a simple deathmatch style but with a tier and points system. The person to do the best in all 4 Quake matches wins, gets the prize, and the girl.

Why even compete when you've got Fatal1ty getting paid for practicing to get paid? I can't imagine the stress playing him must induce.

i went to quakecon 99 when quake 3 was in beta. it was a lot of fun. got to meet everyone, from john carmack, john romero to even steve gibson! (he probrobly doesnt remember me now of course) but anyway it was a great experience and recommend anyone to go ahead if your into the latest quake games. the best part is meeting your clanmates in person, were always still in touch even though we don't play anymore but i am still playing battlefield 2.

if you go, have fun and good luck.

I've gone to Quakecon in 2003, 2004 and 2005. It was fun each time. Cool thing about it is the fact that you can play whatever has multiplayer, so it's not just limited to Quake.

I'm not going this year, since the announcement was made too soon, and my friends and I are kinda burnt out on FPS games at the moment. But when I started playing Prey though, I thought "Man, this would be fun as hell to play at the BYOC."

Also, plenty of free shit, and getting free animal crackers from the Shack is a plus. Go if you wanna have a good time. :)
