as the Duke Nukem Forever Tourney? I've already registered! I've got my tickets!

Life can be so unfair sometimes.

I thought Doom3 didn't have multiplayer? (Score:2, Informative)

How is an incorrect thought informative? Doom 3 has multiplayer. This has been known for almost a year now.

Gaylord owns

You obviously have never been to a Gaylord hotel if you insist on making fun of the name. Their hotels are some of the largest and niceset on the planet. www.gaylordhotels.com

Re:doom3 release date?

[strictnein]

if you had RTFA you would know that this is the first time that people will have played Doom3 multiplayer (even the leaked beta didn't have that).

Doom3 is still going to be released after quakecon. This tournament doesn't affect the release date.

Dear gl4ss,

Fuck you.

Love, id Software

hang out with 5,000 of your closest friends?

How to choose and make nobody angry...?

$150,000 is the minimum requirements!

[JohnFromCanada]

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.

Hah!

No, no. Online registration began back on April 14th, 2004. It was full in about a day.

However, there is a waiting list. When you get there there will be two huge lines snaking around the walls. The smaller line is for those who've pre-registered, while the other snakes around entire second floor of the place, each player hoping for a spot in the grand ballroom.

For those who haven't registered and wish to attend, be sure to get there EARLY. And I mean 5AM or earlier if you wish to get in.

Good thing I got registered 30 minutes after it began...

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
