Where I'll be

« on: July 12, 2006, 09:55:47 AM »

Well since this LAN doesn't look like it's going to materialize I could very well be making the final plans tomorrow of my trip to Dallas for Quakecon 2006. Just waiting to see if my vacation days get approved so I can go down a bit earlier than force it into a 3 day weekend. I'll keep you posted and anyone else planning on going please let me know it'd be awesome to meet some of yas.

http://www.twitchguru.com/2006/07/12/the_death_of_a_lan_party/

Just a snippet :

"Some events have gotten to the point where they switch from not-for-profit to for-profit as they see money and prizes coming in from sponsors. It is a sad state when the grunt who loves gaming now is following someone who once did but loves the power, money, and status their event now warrants."

"Who does this hurt? Simple: the regular Joe Gamer. The guys who have been involved in gaming since the whole BYOC idea began. We who love gaming with our friends, yelling across the room when a good play was made, and staying up at all hours talking about hardware, games, coding, and just about every topic under the sun. What once was "we (community) are having an event, can you (companies) send some prizes for our guys?" has turned into "we (companies) are having an event and we want gamers (consumers) to go to it."

Thoughts?.. anyone??

While you are there, keep your eyes open for a guy named Doze, his real name is Brad. Awesome Q2 DM player... And former clanmate of mine when I was clan leader. My nick back then was frankentsein, he will certainly remember me. lmao

He took 2nd place last year in the Q2 1v1 DM tourney, and I would bet that he will take first this year. I still have demos of his games last year at QuakeCon. If ya want them, just email me...

Well anyways, smack him upside his nappy head for me would ya? hehe,,, Thanks...

Jeff aka old-as-dirt
