The Quakecon.org website has finally announced the registration date for Quakecon 2008. If you plan on attending and playing in the BYOC (lan area) then you will need to be ready for registration as soon as it is available.

Team EH plans for Quakecon 2008:
Some of us are planning on attending Quakecon 2008 so if you are going, post in the comments to let us know. We would love to have any fans and friends to come hang out and sit with us in the BYOC, if we can find enough space. We met some of team AFZ last year (pictures) and we are going to try and sit together in the BYOC this year and do some gaming, partying, game of ass grab and who knows what else.
On my personal site JustinSanchez.com I’ve put together a post of all the pictures and video from Quakecon. Follow the link below to see all the coverage. Enjoy

I just now dropped off Event Horizon 3 with the GGL Wire to upload to there VOD player on GGL.com. Producer said as soon as he can get it encoded and ready to go they will launch it. They want to get it up today, so look for it throughout the day. As soon as I know I’ll update the site with the link to watch.
If you would rather wait to download it we will have some higher quality versions as well as a normal quality.
Yes Event Horizon 3 is done and will be released in a few days. There are a few things we have to take care of before we can release the film. A few members of the team and I (sp4rky) will be heading to Quakecon 07 tomorrow (8/1/07) to have some fun and we will be releasing Event Horizon 3 from there with the GGL Wire, formerly known as RadioITG.
The GGL Wire will not be streaming live at Quakecon this year but they are doing VODs (Video On Demands) while Quakecon is going on. So you should be able to watch EH3 on VOD and possibly see an interview with a few of the team members. We will update this site with the day and time that Eh3 will be pushed out on VOD and where you can watch it.
We are not sure that we want to push the EH3 movie out by file while we are at Quakecon 07 because we will be tied up at the event and unable to deal with press, questions, and comments. This my change but for now if you are eager to see it before its released by file keep checking back on the site to see when and where it will get released by VOD during Quakecon 07.
Saturday (3/24/07) at 8:30 PM Central Time (GMT -6)
Our first netcast is scheduled for Saturday (3/24/07) at 8:30 PM Central Time (GMT -6). Right now I can not say for sure if the show will be live or prerecorded but it will be available at at the time above.
So set your reminders and connect to irc://irc.enterthegame.com/tricking_eh prior to the show and chat with us.
More details TBA.
Welp the time has come for us to headout to meet up at QuakeCon. We will likely keep this site updated while we are at the event, maybe post a few demos. Just letting you all know to keep checking back for updates. On a sidenot you can also watch
my personal blog for updates and pictures.
