Quakecon, North America’s LAN party extraordinaire, is taking place a couple of weeks earlier than usual in 2014. Organizers announced the Bring-Your-Own-Computer event will be held from July 17 to July 20 at the regular venue of the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas.
It’ll be the first Quakecon since John Carmack left id Software, the company he co-founded, to work full-time at Oculus VR. That doesn’t mean Carmack’s traditional keynote address is a write-off, as the veteran programmer tweeted he’s offered to give the talk – it’s now up to organizers to accept his offer.
Carmack or no, because the event’s happening a wee bit earlier there’s no time to dawdle over booking a hotel room – a $160 per night special rate is available now. Admission to the event itself remains free.
