If you aren't going to bring your pc?
My older brother is insisting on going to quakecon because he's a huge doom head, but in reality I know quakecon is just a LAN event similar to GXL or FITES
I think they have a venue and stuff and I think you can watch the quake live duels and grandfinals but is that it, I'm not even sure if that's even worth it. My brother is really involved in the doom community and forums and we could meet some of the guys on doomworld forums, is there a place to rent computers even?
This is a question to all people who went to previous quakecons, I know I should make this thread on a ESR forums or something like that but I'm more comfortable posting on here.

Quake is pretty interesting to watch imo. Bring something to entertain yourself otherwise

Been a LONG time since I went to QC, so my memory is foggy and my expeneice likely heavily outdated, but Quakecon is 90% LAN party. I would be highly surprised if there wasn't a place to rent a PC or something. You'll want to bring SOME kind of computer really, because while there are some events and stuff to watch, the majority of the action is in the LAN.

I have no problem watching quake and even meeting and talking to the top quake players would be so awesome to do, but I think I'll find myself bored out of my mind if I'm not actually playing quake :| I just don't want to bring my pc over on a plane, I know there are tricks like to put your harddrives and video cards in your carry-on but like I still find it risky.
Also I'm not even sure if my brother has a working pc so... lol heres me just playing video games while he watches IDK seems kinda lame.
Hopefully my brother can contact his doom friends and we can play some doom ctf pugs if he has a working pc..
