I’m going to my first ever big game convention this weekend. I haven’t actually played many computer games in a long time, and I’ve never been especially good at first person shooters. That didn’t stop me from agreeing to go to Quakecon when my friend asked me, though. I don’t plan on actually playing any games while there, and definitely don’t plan on actually playing any Quake. My entire reason for going is to just see what all goes on at these things, and to hang out with my friend as he plays. Also, I hear that there’s a lot of partying that goes on, and I’m always up for that. Some of these people seem to be pretty serious about the whole thing. There are people that are already in line a day before some sort of registration starts so that they can be sure they have a place. I’m really interested to see how all of this goes. I figure the worst case scenario is that I just never go to something like this again.
In non-nerd related news, I’ve been horrible about posting on here. Not only that, I’ve been horrible about keeping up with the news, world, online communities, etc for the last couple months. I just need to get back in a schedule, which I’m failing miserably to do. Anywho, that’s a whole post in itself, and I’m doing good to get this much out today. In fact, it’s taken me 6 hours to just write this much. I’m going to set a goal of at least four posts in August, and hope for the best. We’ll see. I’ll at least do a write up of Quakecon so that’s one. Wish me luck.
