QuakeCon 2013

[xer0s]

Aug 1-4

Should I go? All these years I've been a Quake fan and I've never gone. Not to mention its only a four hour drive down to Dallas. Anyone planning on going?

[bitWISE]

Hopefully John gives another epic speech like this one:

Fuck me. Three and a half hours? The dude is a machine..

[scared?]

I was banned from quakecon for life for being "too good"...

Pussies...

[seremtan]

QuakeCon is still going after 14 years?

can't wait for Notch's speech at MineCon 2023 when he tells everyone that the next version will have mermaid squid jockeys and another type of wood block, and that the mod API is coming real soon

[scared?]

Zzzzzzzzzz....

[Plan B]

Is there really a point in 2013?

[xer0s]

What was the point in 2001?

[Plan B]

Point taken.

[xer0s]

I don't know. I might as well go. I've got some vacation days to burn, and could spend the weekend in Dallas...

[scared?]

Pathetic...

You should go at least once. Saturday night finals in the main auditorium is pretty cool. Lots of giveaways and stuff going on all weekend, so be sure to look at the schedule to know where to be and when to be there.

[scared?]

Lol wtf...

[Pext]

Fuck me. Three and a half hours? The dude is a machine..

lolz -- carmack is obviously a genious but everyone with some serious brains can talk about his work for hours and hours.

“The Physics of Light and Rendering”

Learn how light behaves in the real world, and the approximations and compromises that are involved in simulating the behavior with computers. This lecture will be geared towards those interested in the interactions of light in the world and how computer software simulates it.

I've always been fascinated by this subject, so interesting to hear a good 3 hour lecture by one of the industry's best... in addition to his normal 3 hour lecture on rendering, game development trends, and rockets. He needs to start a YouTube channel and just do hour long segments all the time.

ooohhh yea i cant wait to spec this!!

[GONNAFISTYA]

Goddamned nerds.

Where's my bat?
