Rogerpq3 writes "The battleground is set - it's confirmed that the 9th annual QuakeCon 2004 video game festival and tournament at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas on August 12-15 will host the first DOOM 3 deathmatch championship ever. Be there to game, hang out with 5,000 of your closest friends, and compete for $150,000 in cash and prizes in the NVIDIA QuakeCon 2004 Championship Tournaments. Online registration for QuakeCon 2004 has begun at www.quakecon.org, and the event is free to all attendees."
If I were there, I just know I'd be the really embarrassed guy who gets knocked out first...

Now id has quite an incentive to not push back the release date.

Provided you have a computer that can Doom 3.

Life can be so unfair sometimes.

Dear gl4ss,
Fuck you.
Love, id Software
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
How to choose and make nobody angry...?
I don't need a signature.
You mean that I'm the only one here that lives in their parents' basement and is allergic to socializing??
I've been lied to for years!

Actually that sounds like the average Slashdot article write-up
My Cray is a thirsty beast.
Yes, and JR's ranch is nearby as well. idiot...
:)
The last time I wore a cowboy hat and boots was in OKLAHOMA when I was in boy scouts.
Actually, if you want a clear vision of what grapevine looks like...
Imagine... A giant, garish discount mall, DFW airport, multitudes of ugly car dealerships and chain restaurants, a VERY dirty Cinemark theater, oh, and Gamestop.com's shipping warehouse...
And no, if you stay at the Gaylord, you won't get your copy of Doom3 any faster... Gamestop's warehouse does NOT accept visitors.
But, you can visit Southfork Ranch, as seen on Dallas. It's in lovely dirt field filled Parker, TX. Just exit I-75 at Parker Rd. in Plano and head east. It's about 20 minutes off the highway. In the middle of nothing. Enjoy.
I'd like to know where Texas of all states picked up this stupid ass connotation of cowboys. You're just as rarely and as likely to see someone matching this description in NM, NV, UT or CO than TX.
But if you truly want me to break tradition, I'll be the one waiting outside of DFW airport for you in a soccer jersey and a cricket bat.
If you win the competition and the $150,000.00 you could then buy a computer for yourself that will be able to run Doom 3, and you would still have just enough money left over to order yourself the game.
Dear Trusted Friend,
I am from South Africa, in the war torn country of Zimbabwe. Recently, I have come to the attention that I am in the inheritance of $150,000 Million US dollars. This money was left to me by my father, the great Duke Nuk Em. Due to his untimely demise, probably by his enemies, I am not able to access this money. My mother and I may be doomed to die as our father's enemies are looking for us.
If you would be so kind, please send me $1,000.00 so I may fly to America so I can receive my inheritence at Gaylord hotels in the beautiful country of Texas.
For your kind services I have reserved 25% of my fathers inheritence into an account of your choice.
Please forward me your account information, and I will begin the process.
Please be so kind and keep this secret so my fathers enemies will not kill me.
Your trusted friend,
Akiel em-All
I mod down so you can mod up. Your welcome.
I think you meant to say, "Austin is the left-wing radical turd floating in the refreshing conservative pool that is Texas."

egad- can you imagine how that hotel is going to smell? and has Mountain Dew been piped in or are they using communal vats? carl
Man, this is just like the movie the wizard. Remember? Fred Savage's autistic younger brother was like the first person ever to play Super Mario Bros. 3? And he had to play it to win the competition. Nice.
What a great marketing ploy, I couldn't wait to get that game after that uh, cool, movie.
I'm shameless, I know. I'll even admit that I had a crush on that girl at the time. Which isn't as creepy as it sounds, I was like 13 or so.
I don't trust a site where it has over 70 user reviews from a game that isn't out yet.
If this is the first time anyone has played Quake 3 Deathmatch, then I've somehow hit a timewarp..
In which case I need to go buy some Tickets.
