Leon CharowolfHOST
We can talk about Fable again.
BobPANELIST
Yeah, I mean, hey, you know, I'm sure QuakeCon would love to be rebranded as MicrosoftCon.
Leon CharowolfHOST
QuakeCon always pisses me off because they're like, we're going to talk about Quake and then they just talk about Doom.
BobPANELIST
That's how you don't do a presentation kind of thing because they had QuakeCon and then they'd still have their like... b3 but says bethesda presents or whatever and it's like guys you already have something that you could do this at
Leon CharowolfHOST
it's so funny i love it man all right let's talk about our next story kojima Now, Jack did, this was during the Xbox's TGS show.
Leon CharowolfHOST
Jack, God bless his heart, was like, here's the list of everything that was at the Xbox TGS show.
JayHOST
It's bonkers.
KarlHOST
But what we were saying, there was a, there was a, was it PAX West? W- QuakeCon.
KarlHOST
NVIDIA were gonna be there selling a section of 5090s MSRP.
KarlHOST
So it would generally be cheaper for most people who, regardless of where you are in the world, to fly to PAX West, attend QuakeCon, and buy your card there, and still be better off than just buying it from your local provider.
ChrisHOST
so
CassandraHOST
when I was at QuakeCon, and I feel confident in saying this because Bethesda only slightly cares about the Crubcast.
CassandraHOST
That's more than I would
KevinHOST
think.
CassandraHOST
And
KevinHOST
people know
CassandraHOST
after hearing QuakeCon, you weren't there.
CassandraHOST
Oh, true.
Norman ChanGUEST
And so we were one of the few first places to have two DK1s when they finally shipped.
Norman ChanGUEST
And I think I probably wanna say the first time I used it was at-- I wasn't at that QuakeCon where they had that, you know, the, the, the version of m-modified Quake, uh, demoed.
Norman ChanGUEST
I think Will was there.
Norman ChanGUEST
But it was at, uh, CES.
Jeff GrubbHOST
They used to do them annually, I think.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Uh, I always conflate it with, um, uh, Quake, QuakeFest or whatever.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Uh, the, the one in Texas as well, and I can't remember which one's which sometimes.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Um, Nexon though, that deal, I mean, StarCraft in South Korea can never work, just couldn't work.
MurphHOST
Well, it's
Brogan ChattinHOST
also notable that QuakeCon happened like a week ago and it is the 30th anniversary.
Brogan ChattinHOST
Usually QuakeCon's like for Doom, right? And like other Bethesda properties.
Brogan ChattinHOST
But it was Quake's 30th anniversary.
Brogan ChattinHOST
They even got a picture of John Romero and John Carmack together in the same room.
MoriartyHOST
I actually, I did a big video about this a while ago that did very poorly, where I talked about sort of the gaming industry, and there's this concept that has been co-opted a little bit by the right-wing media, unfortunately, but it is actually a pretty good... term, which is access media.
MoriartyHOST
And it is the idea that you as a piece of media, or as a member of the media, you are trading away a lot because you need access, right? So, like, if you can't get access to, go to, and I'm going to use all three of you as examples here, you can't go to QuakeCon, right? So you don't get to meet people and talk to people and you don't get to have those photos and you don't get to hear the backrooms because you made a video that's negative about Doom.
SeanHOST
Yeah.
MoriartyHOST
Well, now you're incentivized not to do that.
BarryHOST
[laughs]
BrianHOST
It's funny too because, was it last year during, uh, QuakeCon, they ended up releasing that Heretic Hexen dual pack.
BarryHOST
Mm-hmm.
BrianHOST
And I was like, "Oh, finally, we might get a port of Heretic II." Nope.
12 MINS LATER
BarryHOST
I believe didn't...
BarryHOST
Wasn't there a Quake re-release?
BrianHOST
Uh, no, they gave us the Heretic and the Hexen instead at QuakeCon, but I mean, it's, it's heavily rumored that's its next game, so.
BarryHOST
Okay, okay.
MoriartyHOST
Wow, that's incredible.
MoriartyHOST
Or just because QuakeCon is going on right now and Cass is there, John Romero retweeting my video and being like, this is a great video that taught me things.
MoriartyHOST
holy crap i have that tweet literally printed out right like that's that's an actual piece of paper in the hope you know because like what if one day it disappears no that's a thing that mattered to me that was a cool moment you know what i mean and like yeah yeah i it hits you in a whole different sort of dopamine way uh than a lot of other things do um so i get it you know i understand why people would feel that and say thank you for the likes on this death tweet um yeah i get i get it
ChrisHOST
i got like a mix of shit like i put out a video on major writers majestic march for the wii which was like from the people who made parappa And randomly, like a while later, the guy who like designed Parappa and the characters in those games emailed me.
Will SmithHOST
met
Brad ShoemakerHOST
you was at QuakeCon, wasn't
Will SmithHOST
it? My memory is getting not great for certain things like that.
Will SmithHOST
We might have known each other before, kind
Brad ShoemakerHOST
of casually.
Will SmithHOST
I've only been to one QuakeCon.
Brad ShoemakerHOST
Yeah, I remember you and Rob Smith and I sitting in a bar at the...
Brad ShoemakerHOST
Okay.
