I'm back from Quakecon! Had an awesome time! I love being able to spend some time with my big bro! In case you don't know, Quakecon is a gaming convention for computers in downtown Dallas(I live in a suburb next to it) and you can BYOC (Bring your own computer) to be apart of the worlds largest lan party! I saw exclusive looks into the upcoming game, Fallout 4, I got to play a few multiplayer matches in the also upcoming game, DooM!This is my 5th year in a row attending Quakecon! (6 if you include the the first year I just went to check it out and into bring my PC) I miss it already! The smell of Cheetos, energy drinks and alcohol in the air. Thousands of greasy nerdy shut-ins sitting at their awesome modded gaming PC's. The constant loud screaming that shatters your eardrums. The raffle drawings where people go insane shoving people just so they can get a free t-shirt that were tossed into the audience. The comedy group, Master Pancake theater ripping on Jurassic Park 1. .......Oh Quakecon.....I miss you already! See you next year! I WANNA GO BACK!!!!!
;-; ;-; ;-; ;-; AND "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiIIIIIIII......WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!"
But I did get some awesome stuff! I even won a new PC power supply in a raffle! (First time in all my 5 years of winning something at Quakecon) I'm just glad I didn't die of drinking so much energy drinks (It's called Bawls. No. Seriously! That's it's name!) Also I think two people were rushed to the hospital for that exact reason, too much energy drinks. I was leaving and two ambulances were at the hotel and they were taking away two people. And from what was said, they were having serious issues from so many drinks. But really the only downside, to me at least, was the internet was SLOOOOOOW!!! We don't know why. Some said people were hacking into the hotel's internet to ruin it because they couldn't get in, some say they didn't set up things right for the internet to work right and blah blah blah. No one knows. It was just super slow! And they've had the convention at the same place the last few years so they should have known how to do it. So until they actually tell us, we won't know for sure. But it didn't bother us too much. They managed to set up servers for the con specifically so most the of games that were played didn't have too much trouble. But internet browsers were like 90's internet slow.
EDIT: Okay....Now I am officially sick! I now have a summer cold! Ugh...I hate this! Lesson here is if you really need to use the restroom with a public toilet.....go in your pants instead. Save the suffering! (Warning: Results may vary) |
