Quakecon 2013

[Jewrrick]

Well, it's come and gone and I'm already looking forward to next year.

I didn't get to game at all this year as my computer decided to act like a bitch as soon as I fired it up.

I help with set-up, registration, and security and ended up walking away with a LEPA N-500 power supply, Logitech g510s keyboard, and a new computer courtesy of Microcenter.

Microcenter did a drawing on Saturday morning and gave away 3 desktop computers valued at just under $2000:

i7-4770k @ 3.5Ghz
8Gb Corsair Vengeance memory
Zotac 660ti
Corsair 750w power supply
ASUS Z87-PRO LGA 1150 MB
Asus Blu-ray drive
Intel 180Gb SSD
Corsair 600T case
BenQ 24" 2ms monitor
Corsair Vengeance K70 KB
Corsair Vengeance K65 Mouse
Creative 2.1 Speaker set.

They were even awesome enough to hook me up with some games as well Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, and Metro Last Light. As soon as it finishes downloading I will be playing BF3.

Anyone else enjoy themselves at QC2013 this year?

Came early this year and I didn't notice, so I missed it. Not sure if it was a loss or not, the past two were shit. I run that same Lepa power supply, it's a decent unit.

I just went to the Finals party, stopped by the BYOC for a bit before it too.

Yeah the finals party was fun, I ended up with a shirt from the guy that was giving out tickets lol.

It was awesome this year, what was so bad about the last 2 for you?

Less free stuff, expensive parking, no decent games, no new hardware.

More vendors than any year in the past. They did a PC perspective workshop where they ended up giving away a metric FUCKTON of nice gear. I believe a grand total of something like 6-7 complete gaming rigs were given away across all the drawings and competitions there and something like $150,000 in gear.

Parking sucks but you can park in their overflow parking for free. We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn right next door and got the free parking there.

They showed off Elder Scrolls Online and a new Wolfinstine game as well as had some multiplayer for Rise of the Triad there.

NVIDIA brought the new Shield to play with.
