I can't imagine why they wouldn't have Quake Live

At an event called QUAKEcon.

... and it's called the Dakar Rally, but has had nothing to do with Dakar in the recent years.

Fortunetly Quake Live is still hanging on and has a strong community so I don't see why the organisers of Quakecon would want to fuck over their last followers.

strong community? lmao

Sorry to say, quake is not a common denominator

This has been proven time and time again when PR, speeches and paid guitar hero tournaments take all priorities above well run quake tournament

You mean there won't be Shootmania?

Have you seen some of the past events? Barely even acknowledge Quake Live exists.

As far as I know, it has always been that way and QL is still there.

Well we are talking about id software here D:

someone drive me for free handy's and gummy worms

flyme in,ill drive

Let's find a bus to Dallas?

okay

probably have to get to ny then transfer bus to dallas somehow. Or fly there for $380 if you book like 5 months in advance.... All we need to bring are keyboard and mice? computers will be provided?

new york cost £220 most of the year, north florida is £200, miami is £3000

depends on what u plan to do. if you compete u can play some in the competition area.


if u do byoc.. u can rent pc's and monitors.

How much does it cost to rent the pcs and monitor? and does it cost money to compete in ctf or tdm?

60$ i think for the whole time for a monitor and dunno bout pc


tournaments are free :D

Is there any online source of information about renting? I can't seem to find anything.

dunno. I was there and rented a monitor last year.

I looked into it and it'll be cheaper if we bus to buffalo and take a 5hr flight to dallas. So greyhound or Amtrak to Buffalo for $48, and the round trip to dallas according to google is $261. so a quake trip for under $310... after taxes and flying fees it'll be more like $400 but still not bad. PS. We need to book rooms and share hotels with other quakers. umm are you going for the duel tournament or are you going for ctf as well?

i have no idea if im actually going btw, lol.

fuck! I was looking forward to those free handys and gummy worms.

I'll think about it but it's probably not happenin. gummy worms and handy's are still open for discussion though

everything will be announced mid-july as always

Yeah I'm afraid of this. In Australia we need heaps of time to plan though D: Also I'm not a rich mofo so I need to save up too D:

when next SydLan btw? shit was $$$

:0 May be april this year, I'll probably play this time though instead of doing a half ass'd cast. Also fuck intel! :D

looking forward to it mate

whats with intel?

i think he means:

At the last Sydlan I promoted a competition where we could win a laptop and we managed to blow the competition in votes. Scumbag intel didn't give us anything except some usb sticks :((

you probably just kept the laptops for yourself

haha na.

Nice, I'll be cheering for you! :)

Oh nice. Hope noctis shows up as well.

It will be renamed to BETHESDACON and tournament will be in ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE.
Listening to numerous complaints of previous events, admins will conveniently announce it very early in the morning (if they not too lazy to wake up), so people will have plenty of time (6-7 hours at least) to arrange their trip and travel there.

In any project you should look for tasks that can overlap to eliminate pointless bottle necks and achieve parallel execution and smaller critical path

Today's quakecon project

decide to do qcon > find vendors/sponsors > book venue > announce a date > decide on games

What it should be:

decide to do quakecon > decide on games > commit to a date >
------------------------------------------------------> research venues-------->
------------------------------------------------------>find vendors/sponsors > book venue


Given that quakecon has been happening for ~10 years in a row, isn't it kind of obvious it's already time to simply spit out a date and game list?

Quake tournaments at quakecon have never been a priority... it's all about coke & hookers.

ponytails and funny shirts

dont forget oranges and bananas to be pushed over hulla hoops

that moment redefined retardedness forever

the day the railgun silenced

LOL

fuck qcon they broke my heart i break their reputation

ROFL, quakecon?

more like guitarherocon

Why?

can't wait to listen to another 3 hour speech from ubernerd while quakelive finals are being played and not streamed..

failcon

Indeed, recent QCONs have been exceptionally bad.

Even Carmack's usual interesting, but long speeches are no longer something I look forward to.

I just hope that we see such epic events as the T-Shirt giveaway, and the scantly clad women. /sarcasm

recent QCONs have been exceptionally bad

it seems you have only recently started trying to follow a quakecon

this. I don't remember a single one that had acceptable coverage.

the one where 2GD ran the show did, think it was 2011 with the TDM and all

wasn't that the one with the fire?

no first day 8 hour delay? can't remember

The fire was in 2010, also the year of the spinning logo. 2011, nothing really sticks out as going wrong that year. Well except for the constant bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound on stream.

wasn't 2010 also the one where prozac got naked?

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Looking back, 2010 was action packed... too bad most of it seemed to happen off stream.

oh my god, all the spraying that would've happened on here if prozacs weiner would've been on stream :x

it wasn't perfect, but was very much ok

it was 2010 with 2gd, remember the cooller-cypher final on aerowalk? 2gd definitely commentated that game.

2011 was rapha vs strenx final.

yes he did, together with Joe - iirc it was shortly after he quit ESL.

but I think I remember him being much more involved in the production side of things in 2011, besides commentating ofc.

edit: after doing some research, 2010 had Joe, 2GD and the spinning logo. No chance that would happen under 2GD's watch! Which is what i meant with "2GD ran the show" :)

:)

Well no, but in my opinion, the more recent QCONs were far worse.

Quake(thelastgoodgamewemade)Con 2013:

Will feature only 2 pros this year - Dahang v Rapha since Cypher ruined the plan last year for a US winner.

They will have a small table to setup and play - somewhere near the smelliest toilets...

demos will be recorded but pcs will be formatted right after, and then burned just to be sure

Hehe. Isn't this what usually happens? ;)

*cough* QCON12 CTF demos?! *cough*

they exist..

Exactly, but they don't seem to be available anywhere.
I know SyncError hosted them for a while, initially.

they should hire a guy to make sure the stream is choppy enough

I will take a guess and say August 2013 at some big ass hotel in Texas.

If anyone sees Vedic there tell him there is nothing wrong with working at Walmart.

same as "correcting" PCs for a living at 35+

That is my second job, I am a 3D graphics and GIS expert by trade.
That was after the bafta winning game designer.

If someone wants to pay me 30 to 40 quid to sort out their home computer with hours to suit its fine by me.

Anytime you want to show us your professional career I would be happy to take a look.

This is where you fold, or try and turn things around and avoid a simple question.

Have fun in South America earning less in a day than I spend for lunch at the fountain in fortnum and mason, oh look it up hector.

You know that thread will haunt for you life, do you.
edit: if the point isn't clear, thing is everything you write simply cannot be believed nor taken seriously, as proven on that thread.

I had a feeling you would avoid sharing anything about you.

As for being taken seriously....

I would be more worried if something like you did take me seriously, try not to wind yourself up too much:>

There are good and bad parts, and loser frogs on game forum suffering from all kinds of personality disorders will only ever focus on the negative aspects to try and make yourself feel better by trying to make others feel bad.

Stop being French.

fuck quakecon, lets have an extra dreamhack instead \o/

didn't they drop quake because of few sign ups and lots of drop outs?

no, they dropped quake because pql doesn't have stairjumps

RRROOOARRRR!!!

FUCK QUAKECON.

hands off my favorite game, just stay away from qlive. this game has nothing to do with you anymore, cheap tasteless marketizing mofuckers analcunts.

The good news is that they won't be able to use Own3d for the streaming.
