QuakeCon, id Software's free annual mega-LAN party and face-shooting celebration, is to return to Dallas, Texas this year on August 2-5. What exactly there will be to do there has yet to be revealed, but expect talks, tournaments, playing unreleased games, and the sorts of shenanigans you'd expect from a hall filled with several thousand geeks.
There's good QuakeCon news, and there's bad QuakeCon news. First, the bad news: the old QCon forums have been hacked and passwords compromised. But the good news: QuakeCon 2011 will be gathering venerated id veterans to share war stories in a panel named '20 Years of id Software.'
"In recent days, a hacker carried out an unlawful intrusion of the old forums.quakecon.org site, compromising usernames and passwords," explains a post on the QuakeCon site by some chap named Nick Breckon. "While we have taken appropriate steps to protect the new forums from attack, we recommend anyone using their old credentials on another site to change their passwords immediately."
"Does this mean people who registered for quakecon 2011 or people who were on the forum?"
