Quakecon 2011 in Full Swing August 5, 2011

The Quakecon, a convention to celebrate all things id Software has done, is in full swing out in Texas.  It was orignally designed by the fans so they could get all together in one place to network their computers together to play Quake without any latency.  Now it is major commercial press event where id gets to show the fans what they’ve been working on, and give the fans the chance to meet the developers who made the games they love.

It’s in full swing in Texas right now, and you can be sure that plenty of RAGE news is probably going to be coming out of it.  For right now I haven’t been able to find any videos of the initial festivities, but there is an official up right now which is a good canadate for getting some good videos up.  In fact they already posted some videos of the convention’s setup.  If you ever wanted to know what it takes to host a giant LAN party, here’s a peek.

To celebrate this event, I’ve noticed that RAGE related Avatar gear has gone on sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
