[quote]QuakeCon is a bring-your-own-computer (BYOC) computer gaming event with a competitive tournament held every year in Dallas, Texas, USA. The event, which is named after id Software's game Quake, sees thousands of gamers from all over the world attend every year to celebrate the company's gaming dynasty. It is North America's largest LAN party, the largest free LAN party in the world, and usually runs over a period of four days.
Now more than a multiplayer gaming event, QuakeCon is also a venue to showcase the newest games and hardware being developed by companies involved with id Software including booths selling clothing, computer peripherals, and software.
To be able to keep QuakeCon a free LAN party, it is highly dependent on volunteer work. These volunteers, often described as the crew, cover most aspects of the organization of the party. For this QuakeCon has gained a reputation as "Woodstock of gaming", and a week of "peace, love, and rockets!"[/quote]
I went last year and had a blast. I got free stuff, including a shirt and a DS game (a guy was just from the company was just walking around, givin' em out!), I saw an exclusive trailer for Rage (before most of the stuff was announced), and it was cool just to have that many people sittin' around playing games.
I would love to go, but Texas is a pretty long drive/train from Virginia. :(

And it's a [B]really[/B] long drive from England.
I live 20 minutes away from where it's being held, but I have band camp. :argh:
One of my friends is skipping marching band so he can come with me.
Doom 4 is being showed there. ID said it's going to be bigger and better then rage.
