Things guaranteed to happen each year: incrementally improved new versions of popular products, at least one earnestly predicted end of the world scenario, and QuakeCon, id Software's mega-LAN party/PC gaming celebration.

As with previous years, attendance is free. The hotel is also offering a deal on rooms, details of which are available at the QuakeCon site .
