GGL Wire’s coverage of QuakeCon 2007 is still ongoing, even though the event ended three weeks ago. This time around we’ve got the 2007 John Carmack keynote with a large portion of the Q&A session. We filmed until we ran out of tape. It starts with the Rage trailer and runs 2 hours, 23 minutes of a look into the head of one of the most prolific — and arguably brilliant — game programmers ever.
In order to facilitate easy viewing, the keynote is broken up into 14 parts, which you can view right here in this player. The Q&A session starts around the 8 minute mark of clip 6, so don’t miss that.

GGL Wire talks to the Swedish Quake 4 superstar about QCon and the upcoming WSVG tournament in Toronto.

Before we can get started with the Quad Damage tournament, we have to wait for an ET:QW match between 20ID and Car Ramrod. I think I have a pretty good idea about who’s going to win that one.

OK guys, here’s what we’ve got so far. We don’t really have time to caption each of these as the event is moving on. Enjoy the photos; more to come.

Does a guy like Magnus “Fox” Olsson really need another sound card? Not only is he a sponsored player, but I’m sure he’s won innumerable sound cards over the years. Regardless, he was a winner not 10 minutes ago in the QuakeCon quick draw contest, where ticket holders are picked to win sponsored prizes. The quick draw contest attracts a ridiculously huge crowd, so here are some blurry pictures of that and the babes tossing away prizes like nobody’s business.
