QuakeCon will once again look to raise money for charity throughout the weekend. Fans can donate directly to the QuakeCon Tiltify Team with proceeds going to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

In addition to that, there's a full limited-time Pethesda merchandise line up and running through QuakeCon. Proceeds from purchases of these custom items will go to Dallas Pets Alive.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
