the life and times of endenizen » quakecon

here’s one of the many benefits of driving through the night when you’re going to texas (besides, of course, getting zero sleep) you get to see the SUNRISE YAY

So, after leaving home at 10PM last night, we arrived in Grapevine, TX shortly after 2PM. Quickly we spread out and: secured the hotel room, got all our stuff in line, and scoped out this insanely huge and awesome hotel. Speaking of the line, it was long…like last year. We waited from about 3 till just after 11 when they finally opened the main BYOC (bring your own computer) room. It’s huge. It will be so sweet. Oh man I can’t wait

There’s more pictures but here’s one of our stuff after we set it up.

It opens tomorrow at 9 (but we’ll probably get there much later because we’re very tired) and the fun goes till 1pm on sunday. Wahoo!

“In a few days we’re going to turn up the heat another notch. At Quakecon in Texas, a mecca for gamers and truly a phenomenon to witness, we will officially unveil our newest mainstream member of the GeForce 6 family”

Yea, that’s what everyone says. It’s never really true though. I do feel like I’m getting stuff done once in a while. And sometimes even more often than that. Still working 9-5 (which usually turns out to be 10:30-4:30) and I feel like I’ve written that a hundred times already. Oh well, I’m bored and I have nothing better to write about. Here, I’ll prove it…

I got my xbox all up and running with a mod chip and a new hard drive and an n64 emulator and an snes emulator. So that should provide some entertainment once school starts.

Atom and I thought that maybe one of his future roomates-to-be was related to a guy I know…but I don’t think it’s true…cause I see the guy like every day and he’s never said anything about a relative going to the same school as me. But then maybe he was keeping it a secret…

Hot Hot Atom (12:24:52 AM): but really we already know..so you are gonna tell him, and he is gonna be sad, and then he is gonna give me 50 bucks
HacKnight (12:25:09 AM): that’d be sweet, can we split it?
Hot Hot Atom (12:25:31 AM): only if he actually gives us like 100 bucks
Hot Hot Atom (12:25:37 AM): then id share
HacKnight (12:26:05 AM): ok well i’ll tell him that the costs of his negligence have multiplied!
Hot Hot Atom (12:26:15 AM): ooo, i like that idea

I’ve been playing some Doom 3 lately and I must say that the game lives up to the hype 100%. On a related note, there’s less than 46 hours till we leave for quakecon. We’re pulling out all the stops and traveling in style this year. We’re taking my mom’s minivan. Lemme tell ya, it doesn’t get much better than that. Hopefully we’ll get to film lots of stuff like we usually do so we can show everyone the good times down in texas.

So really…this post wasn’t really *for* anything so you can just ignore it…unless you already got this far…then I’m sorry I wasted your time. I’ll write some decent posts once school starts and I have something decent to write about.
