S since 1996 to date, QuakeCon has become a sort of pilgrimage for fans of video games. Although in the last three years it was further commercialized after the studio Zenimax bought id Software, QuakeCon has continued to attract a large number of gamers. This year's event broke another record for consecutive number of visitors, which during four days of the fair in Dallas were nearly 10,000.

PixlBit | "We'll lead you through our two days spent at QuakeCon 2012, where the biggest draw is the huge LAN party that attracted over 3,500 participants this year. We'll show you the trek to the hotel in 107 degree Texas heat, panels with videogame luminaries, and everything in between."
Welcome to episode 11 of the game fanatics show, brought to you by the new Mac OS, Snoop Lion. As you can tell from the title, yes, we show the Call of Duty: Black Ops II multiplayer trailer, and we go into our usual semi-sober analysis of the video. We are also joined by special guests, financial analysts Charlie King and Ronald Murphy who help shed some light on the financial states of some of the top video game companies. We also go over some of the more, non-financial video game related news, and close things out with a very interesting question.
