Quakecon 2005

Welcome one and all to Quakecon 2005 from the beautiful and enormous Gaylord Texan Convention Center and Hotel in Grapevine, TX. Well over 6,000 are expected to attend one of the largest LAN party and gaming expos in the world. I can tell you first hand that it is definitely quite the show once again this year.

Already several thousand people have packed themselves into what is basically a room the size of...oh....4 football fields. Monitors glow in every direction, and the gaming is in full effect. Oh yeah, and this lasts for the next three days too.

QuakeCon officially opened to the public at 8:00 am Thursday morning, and we were there along with hundreds of gamers when the doors opened. Fortunately for us, we didn’t have to wait in the BYOC line and were able to enter the convention center before the crowd hit. The sponsor exhibits weren’t scheduled to open until two hours later, so we took our time browsing through the isles, checking out some of the more interesting, and well… special… rigs. Since we were some of the first into the center, we were able to play around at NVIDIA’s booth before it opened, and before they shoed us away. During this time we were able to play some interesting new games and take some videos without the interruption of the crowds – although there was some mic-checking going on, as you’ll hear in the videos later on."

Day one of Quakecon has already brough with it many memorable moments! The vendor booths are open and giving away prizes and massive swag, NVIDIA had some lucky ladies shave their heads for hardware, the tournaments have started, and much, much, more! We are having a great time, and look forward to the rest of the upcoming events!
