    Plenty going on as usual this event, including:

    We've also spent some time looking at how we're going to timetable theevent, including the big game programme, so there will definitely besomething for everybody this event!

    Booking is now open, visit our epic.THREE pages for more details @ Our website (cant post link yet and dont want to spam forums just to be able to post links)



    Couple of more recent updates from the epic.LAN team!
    53 people now confirmed for epic.THREE with a couple of months still to go, so it's all looking good!

    We've recently confirmed two live sets that will be taking place as part of our entertainment programme at the event see our website

    Finally, we've been having some thoughts about how we communicate with people at the events using our big screen. Our dev monkeys have been working away on writing some new software to drive our big screen to make things easy to update as well as doing some live queries of all of the games running on the LAN to show who is playing what on the screen.

    More announcements due over coming weeks about sponsorship, mini competitions and bar/catering times. Keep an eye on our website

    We hope to see loads of you there!

    My thoughts exactly.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Unfortunately, we're going the following week, so the chances of someone going to both is unlikely, and if they're only going to attend one of them, it'll be GameOn's one since the majority of us have already confirmed it.

    However, if future ones are staggered at different dates to GameOn's, then some of us might come. Especially as last year there was a massive 6 month gap between the Feb and August one. The biggest problem for a lot of people is the time and money to attend too many LAN's in a year.

    just to confirm, these are LANs, right?
    if they are, would anyone be interested in going to that may one?
    or possibly the summer one? take a few disposable bbqs? have some beers outside and stuff, and then gaming.

    Yes these are LAN Events and,

    No need to bring a BBQ as we usually run a BBQ ourselves if you have a look at our gallery and check out our stage and also our BBQ we put on its pretty epic (sorry for the pun)

    and yes Rasta I am the same Inferno yellow shirt from the I-series that has been doing this for 5 years now
