And now... Other Stuff From The Internet!!!

This is QuakeCon

Hope everyone has a fun and safe QuakeCon 2023 down there in Grapevine, Texas.

BYOC spots are not accommodating 10 monitor setups?

You can support Dallas Pets Alive by buying one of the special QuakeCon 2023 shirts here.

Quake 2 soundtrack vinyl for sale at Laced Records!

Always nice to see Hugo playing games at QuakeCon. I wonder if he is working on something new...

This year's QuakeCon shirt kinda sucks. I didn't buy it.

But I did cop one of these hoodies.

Street Fighter memes and videos for your enjoyment

Bah gawd, that is a steel chair fighting by itself!

The SF6 community is special.

A few Internet videos

Making a video about your secret base seems a bit paradoxical.

"Who do you think you are? I am!"

This seems like the nicest mobile home ever.

Hooray for Fritzy!
