How awesome is that logo?

Our crew is in the midst of setting up shop inside the dark hall that houses the QuakeCon BYOC. We could gloat that we’re there. We could elaborate on how awesome QuakeCon is. How everyone, at least once, should experience the event. A convention that was spawned by the rise of first-person shooters held by id Software, the company that created them in the first place. Instead, we decided that you should be a part of it! Yeah, we’re not kidding. If you’ve the means to get yourself to Dallas, Texas quickly, you could be sitting down to the convention with a ticket that’s been sold out for months. How? Glad you asked.

We’ve two QuakeCon BYOC tickets. They’ll be given away to two respondents to a simple trivia questionnaire. Get them all right and you’ll have a chance to snag one of two tickets, competing against other perfectionists. Get at least 25% of the questions correct and you’ll be entered into a random drawing for all respondents. Submissions must be received by tomorrow, Thursday, 12:00 PM (aka noon) CST. Submit your response to itzkoopa_at_lorehound_dot_com (that’s an email address, morphed to avoid bots and spam), or DM me on Reddit. Replies in the comments will be ignored.
