On August 4th thru the 7th, QuakeCon 2011 kicked off with its usual flare. While there wasn't as many booths as there were in previous years, there was still a lot to see and do.

Its that time of the year again. During August 4th-7th in Dallas, TX, at the Hilton Anatole hotel, Bethesda will be hosting QuakeCon 2011. This year's lineup so far seems to be a playable version of the game Rage (which was shown only as a video last year) as well as public demonstrations of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Prey 2. Guest speakers include John Carmack among others. And of course the annual BYOC solo or team tournaments of Quake 3 and other games. Free to enter and all-ages welcome. So if Texas doesn't seem like an unusually long drive and this interests you, stop by around the end of the first week in August.

The first con started in 1996 and has continued every year since then. This was only my 2nd time to the event; my first was in 2009, but some of my close friends have been going every year since 2003. The convention is always held in Dallas (or one of its suburbs), and usually occurs during the 2nd weekend of August.
