QuakeCon 2012

Ya, I know, long time no post and this post is WAY late. Sue me, I'm a zombaby with balled up plastic fists. You try to type like this.

Anyhoo, I attended QuakeCon2012. The first day there, I spent 12 hours in line with a great bunch of guys, all of us waiting for a coveted computer spot.


(back row)JC, Fletcher, Kevin, (sorry dude, didn't get your name)
(front row)Ben and Tyler.

The first 10 hours were fine, we were all enjoying hanging out, but the last 2 kinda, um, dragged like a body pulled by a zombaby... really slow. I was too tired to have much fun that night, so hit the sack.

The rest of the weekend was full of drinking, hanging out, taking photos of hundreds of my 'closest friends' (newest fiends?). Some folks had no idea what I was about. I'm not about nuffin but havin fun and meetin peeps, yo! And full of more drinking, watching many folks play video games, attending a panel on game mods, DRINKING at MASTER PANCAKE THEATRE!

On Sunday, after volunteering with my buddy Al Gore, we sat around while many many many great prizes were lotteried off to those who volunteered. I scored some major hot hardware, way past my comprehension. Al Gore and I will be doing a mod, methinks. I'm still not sure what my favorite part of winning was, the major bankage on parts, or the fact that 3 announcers did 'rock/paper/scissors' to find out who would read my name 'mareezmeat.com'. That was priceless.

For the FIFTH year in a row, Derek Jackson won the computer case mod contest. Here's a couple shots of his box. (tee hee)



Sean, the wonderful waiter at the hotel restaurant, was so nice. We had a nice chat about his original home, Jamaica. I hope he enjoys is trip back to see his family.




Sadly, Al Gore and I missed the infamous Party Elevator.

All in all I had a great time.

My zommy was a lot less outgoing this year, she's kinda had a tough time of things lately. But, she did manage to get a few photos at the Con so peep them here:
