Lyrics

Want to game, where to go?
Brave the heat for just one week
Towing gear up the hill, suddenly you’re standing still
Your friends are there, crank up the subs, as the frags go pow, pow, pow
But there’s one thing, everyone knows…
This is QuakeCon!

Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
This is QuakeCon!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
This is QuakeCon!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
This is QuakeCon!
Joff-tchoff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!
Joff-tchoff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!
Joff-tchoff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!
This is QuakeCon!

Demon spawn, filled with lead, saving friends from the undead
Take a break from the kill, suddenly you’re standing still

Your fur is brown, so beautiful, like an angel in disguise
But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by mo-o-o-o-orse, mo-o-o-o-orse, mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that h-o-o-orse, h-o-o-orse, h-o-o-orse?
This is QuakeCon!

Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
This is QuakeCon!
Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
This is QuakeCon!
A-hee-ahee ha-hee!
A-hee-ahee ha-hee!
A-hee-ahee ha-hee!
This is QuakeCon!
A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!
Woo-oo-oo-ooo!
This is QuakeCon!

The secret of the con, ancient mystery
Lost inside the crowd, I know you\’re hiding
What if you’re crowned? Will we ever know?
Will always be a mystery what do you say?

QuakeCon is the answer, we’d live here if we could
What if you’re crowned?
Will we ever know?
I want to, I want to, I want to know!

Tim Willits to Leave id Software After QuakeCon 2019

/ , / , , /

Tim Willits recently announced on Twitter that he will be leaving id Software after QuakeCon 2019.

“After 24 years, I’ve decided to leave id Software after QuakeCon,” said Willits. “I’ve been extremely lucky to work with the best people in the industry on truly amazing games. QuakeCon has been an unbelievable part of my journey and I look forward to seeing everyone at the Gaylord Texan.”

He’s not revealing his post-id plan as of yet, but promises to after QuakeCon.

As far as what he’s leaving behind, he tells fans not to worry about the future of their favorite games.

“All of the games currently in development are in very good hands, my departure will not affect any planned releases,” said Willits. “id Software is packed full of amazing talent that will continue to develop (long into the future) some of the best shooters in the world.”

We at QNN are sad to see him go but wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. And although we have to create some fake news out of this, know that it is out of love.

Gaming Computer Stand WEB IMAGE-01

Build-Your-Own LAN Gaming Shelf

/ , / , , , /

You asked for it and now you\’re getting it! Well… you didn\’t really ask for it but you\’re getting it anyway.

These instructions are for a 30” wide LAN gaming shelf to fit half of a 5’ table and larger.

Dreamhack uses 5’ tables and quakecon uses 6’ tables.

If you want to make one for a 6’ table, just change 30 to 36 in all the wood cuts. But don’t do that. Just make the 30” version so it works for both table sizes.

Gaming Computer Stand Hardware Instructions, or view the images below.

We built a couple and they turned out pretty well! They still need to be fancied up, though. You can view those photos below as well.
