The world’s biggest annual LAN party is fast approaching and now’s the time to hop on the pre-registration train! QuakeCon is free as usual but if you want to drop down a few extras bucks, you can score yourselves some sweet limited swag. Three different packages are available for your greedy mitts: The Swag Pack, BYOC Select-A-Seat and QuakeCon Done Quick. The Swag Pack comes with an official QuakeCon 2012 shirt, a Dishonored Tallboy shirt and a Special Edition poster. There will be 500 of those available and will run you $40.
Looking to make your con time a bit easier? The next two offerings are for you. You can snake the BYOC Select-A-Seat set up which lets you pick your own seat in the BYOC area, guaranteed, and hands you over a QuakeCon 2012 BYOC shirt. Those will be limited to 1,500 packages and will run you $30. Want to get right in on the action as fast as possible? Go for the QuakeCon Done Quick pack. Not only do you get that guaranteed spot you want, you also get fast pass registration to the BYOC, fast pass to basically every event in the con, limited seating reserved to said events and that QuakeCon BYOC shirt. $50 will hand you over one of the 350 packages served up for your greedy pleasure.

Will Skyrim Ship With Warning Label “May Cause Pregnancy”?

Chaz and Stevi are big time gamers, so hardcore they got engaged at last year’s QuakeCon. It came as no surprise they showed up at QuakeCon 2011 even though Stevi was very much pregnant. The gaming couple were amped for the presentation of the next Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim. So excited, so pumped, so filled with geeky anticipation that they sat through the WHOLE demo while Stevi started going into labor. Yes, labor as in birth of a child. Thinking it was just false labor, the pair stayed to watch as Todd Howard showed the Frost Dragon to the hungry crowd.
Once the demo was over Chaz and Stevi decided it was a good idea to head to the hospital where they gave birth to a future gaming girl, Atari Lynn. Although the co-op partners originally planned to get married this past weekend at QuakeCon, I’d say adding another geek to fold is pretty memorable too. Now slated for November 16th, the couple will walk down the aisle with their own little Dragonborn. Wonder how many people will bear gifts of Skyrim for the happy gaming clan? No need for them to buy the Collector’s Edition, that’s for sure.

Get Your Own Dragon With The Skyrim Collector’s Edition.
Last Updated on Saturday, 6 August 2011 01:57 Written by LoganDX Saturday, 6 August 2011 11:00
Okay, so it won’t be a real dragon but it is cool none the less. It was only a matter of time before Bethesda announced the all but guaranteed Collector’s Edition. At QuakeCon, producer Todd Howard did just that when he revealed the edition and its contents. Besides the game, fans who scrape up the cash will get a making of dvd, a giant 200 page art book and 12 inch Alduin dragon statue. Don’t forget the exclusive cloth map of Skyrim when you pre-order.
The big question is “What will it cost me, the rabid fan?”. You’re not going to like the answer as this bad boy will set you back $149.99 when it releases this November. Pretty pricey really for what’s included. The Arkham City CE has just as many goodies but costs $50 less, which is a welcome relief. Any geeks looking forward to the Collector’s Edition or will you just grab the standard edition and get lost in the game? Let us know below.
