EPICon 2010 Commences

August 16, 2010 10:20 am

Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date information!

EPICon-- the premier gaming and entertainment convention hosted by CHICHI Hotel & Suites here in Centropolis-- is in full swing, and Channel 5 has been given the rights for exclusive coverage of the event! Game fans from all over Subeta are arriving, no doubt eager to test their skills against fanatics and pros alike!

Famous card game Mazes and Mahars is set to release the new Third Eye Booster Pack in the coming days, and it is rumored the card tournament participants will be some of the first to call these impressive new cards their own. If you are a player, be sure to sign up for the tournament for your own chance at fabulous prizes.

Legendary Tsunami Entertainment is also set to release a completely remastered version of the beloved 8-bit game that started it all for them, Omen Raiders. A few lucky players of the demo will be the first in line to get a free download key for the Gamestation Network.

Keep your eyes peeled for news about more exciting events and give-aways as the convention continues!

Hey can anyone help me? I'm stuck on lvl 32 of The Legend of Hilda... I'm trying to beat those valy.... valky.... uhm.... those big opera ladies with the metal bras, but the orcs keep getting in the way! I tried IMing Teabag69, but he's afk atm.

And by the way, he's only named Teabag69 because he had 70 teabags left just before he had a brain fart on his name. He's an Earl Gray nut....

Mazes and Mahars...remember the book Mazes and Monsters (and the movie)? That's what that reminded me of. Though I haven't read or seen the film, just Spoony's (owner of www.spoonyexperiment.com) review of the movie which was 20-30 minutes long at least.
