Sorry I didn’t post this Saturday night.  Quakecon took a turn for the worst when Saturday rolled around.  Steam would not login and we kept loosing our steam username information so going into offline mode was not an option.  There was also a massive power outage that really screwed up all of the network equipment.  DHCP stopped working, and at that point I got frustrated enough to go with sh0ckc0re to the bar and down drinks.  After 4 stiff drinks we were nice and plastered.

The flight back was fairly stressful, but I got home safely.  I will post more later when I get back.

Today was good and bad.  TF and Steam had an update last night which forced all of our computers in a semi-steam crash mode.  We had to tether a cell phone to our computers to get things working.  Tricky and I got my computers working again, but sh0ckc0re and sp00nz are still not on steam.  We played Sins of a Solar Empire all night!

I took a bunch of pictures at the event.  I will post a few of them.  You can check out the rest of the set here: http://bit.ly/12U8YF

Behold! The indoor city, the Gaylord

We had to take care of some zombies before going to the BYOC

Enough of the guys goofing around, here is the main event!

Here is the car that ventrilo is giving away

They had demos of Wolfenstine here. I took pictures while no one was around.

And thats all I am going to put up.  Check out my picasa for more!

I’ll update more later.  For now, sleep!

After surviving a day of the BYOC, I can honestly say this is my best QuakeCon thus far.  I got off the plane ok and the flight was smooth.

We waited in line Wednesday night and got our equipment checked in like clockwork.  Back to the hotel to sleep and we were on our way to BYOC day 1.

We played TF2 for the beginning of the day and had some fun.  I had a 32 person listen server full for most of the day.  It was pretty cool meeting some of the people that played on the server today.

Later we busted out Sins of a Solar Empire.  After a good 7 hours of dominating the galaxy, we tried to play Killing Floor.  The network then went down.  We are not really sure what happened.  We went to go see District 9 instead.  It was a good movie definitely recommend you go see it.  The movie is pretty gory.

Anyhow, its time for sleep.  We have a big day ahead of us.

We took a lot of pictures, but I forgot my damn USB 2.0 cable.  I need to get one at Best Buy tomorrow.

One more day until I peace out and say buh bye Georgia, I won’t miss your crooked political opinions, corrupt leaders, and racist tendancies.  Instead, I am going to Texas, home of the W himself.

I had to move all of Lindsey’s shit last night.  I had plans but I guess “dem vidah games” aren’t very high on the priority list.  Having to explain making sure my PC is ready to roll out is too complicated.  Sucks, because I wont have any time today.  I’ll have to make time.  It is funny, I get asked “Why are you packing up so early Nick?”.  Simply stated, everything that could delay me did delay me.  I had to move Lindsey back into her apartment, had to do this and that.  No wonder I packed everything up early.

Anyhow, today is going to be groggy.  I need to find some things for Tom to do over my vacation.

Next time I write you, hopefully I will be in Dallas!

Well, the long pack started yesterday while I carefully sorted through my gaming shirts.  I picked 8 out and some work out clothes.  Thanks to Michelle I was able to get everything packed efficiently.  The challenge now is getting everything packed when I leave.  I will come to this cross road when I get to it.

As you can see, Bawls is a very important accessory to the trip.

Tonight I pack the old computer up in preparation of the trip to Texas.  Everything should be ready!
