Quake is ten!
This year's QuakeCon marks the tenth anniversary of Quake -- a whole decade of fragging.
The gathering was first held in the summer of 1996 by a few IRC pals who wanted to meet face-to-face. According to the organizers, "less than 100 attendees gathered at the Best Western in Garland, Texas, that first year to play and talk games and compete." Last year's event drew a record 6,000 attendees; this year's is expected to bring even more.Link (via Wonderland)
