If you're already planning out your travel for 2012, mark down that QuakeCon 2012 will take place on August 2-5 this year. It takes place in Dallas, Texas, at the Hiltone Anatole Hotel.
QuakeCon is always the world's largest LAN party, and a great place to see the coolest/strangest computers and the even stranger collection of files within them. If you're not a LAN kind of gamer, Bethesda will be there to give attendees the first chance to play upcoming titles. Other exhibitors also bring their games and wares, and even gaming hardware is shown off on the show floor. It's a good time, so you should probably clear your schedule.
There's a special room rate of $154 a night when you tell Hilton that you'll be there for QuakeCon. See you there?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Every Quakecon i've attended always had a large mix of games being hosted and played...from iD games to anything currently popular. Mods used to be a huge bulk of people attending...large communities based primarily from Quake 3 mods. Its all different now, but its always been fun and free. This year should have some huge announcements.
