QuakeCon is now a few days behind us but I must still chip in and say it was probably the best one. Although of course the event is the must fun if you actually bring your own computer and play games, I still had a good time just walking around, talking to people that I know, meeting new people and checking out the several Activision games on display. Of all those games Jedi Knight 2 was easily the best and I'm really looking forward to it now even more than I did after the E3 showing.

As you might have seen on Blues News, the new guy joining us is indeed Jason Bergman who some of you might know as "loonyboi" or some of you might not even know at all (!). Suffice to say, I think it's nearly impossible to find anyone better than Jason. Besides his years of news updating at Blues News, he also worked on his own site Loonygames and writes the ocassional article for Gamespot and such. We are very glad to have him on board. He'll be doing news updates in the afternoon and evening.

IOTD Took this one myself actually at the Mesquite Hampton Inn & Suites. Gotta love that the hotel movie/game ordering system is just a Windows program.
