This year's QuakeCon event is all about DOOM. From the keynote to the panels, it's all DOOM all the time. Well, maybe not all the time, but DOOM is a very significant portion of this year's focus at QuakeCon.
Appropriately, this year's QuakeCon is literally being called "QuakeCon: Year of DOOM." It all begins on July 25 when QuakeCon begins at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center. And yes, once again they will host the largest BYOC LAN event in North America if you're into that.
For those who cannot make it to QuakeCon for this year's event, it will be streamed live at QuakeCon.tv. The full schedule can be found at QuakeCon.org. Some of the highlights from this year's event can be found below. Registration is live now at Showclix.com.
