QuakeCon 2004

anybody attending quakecon 2004? Man I really wish I could go! I'm not sure if I'll be able to, but since it is my senior year in high school, I might go. Only problems though are taking my PC if im taking a plane....

If I go, there are 5 things I would like to do.

1. See the MAN himself, John Carmack
2. See the rest of the id team
3. Get free t-shirts
4. Enter a Quake III Arena tournament (i'll probably be the first one to lose)
5. Play Quake III and other games in the BYOC

how bout the rest of you?

6. See the first Quake 4 screenshots.

I'd like to, but I'll be in Japan.

You're doing the Guy Healey exchange program thingie?

I'll be an exchange student, yes, but not that one. I'll be going to Kansai Gaidai...and failing most of my classes as I play DDR there.

I was hoping the two wouldn't conflict this year, but Quakecon is like a week before I depart, and i wouldn't feel right leaving my family for Texas and then again for four months in Japan. Last year's QuakeCon rocked.

GhOsTly is going apparently.

Nah. Being in a dark crowded place with a bunch of smelly, sweaty gamers is not my idea of fun. I do that every Wednesday when I play D&D anyway.

Well if anyone does go, please bring back any impressions on the Doom III content you see at QuakeCon.

[Shaky cam footage is acceptable :P ]

I would consider it, when it was in Europe. (He john, contact me when you want me to organise this!)

7. Participate in the DOOM3 MP Tournament.

Isn't this thread a little premature (August 12-15) whith Quakcon still being 6 months away..

yep.

me too.

Man, if I can, I will BE there. But this summer for me is pretty packed already, and money is tight.

Oh - and, did you say FREE TEE SHIRTS?!? I'M THERW!

Take some pictures of the doom3 footage etc. Please I find myself scourging the net trying to absorb every tiny bit of doom3 info there is.
