As I’m sure everyone has heard on the grapevine, a management split within GamerFM means that the brand has been sold to FragRadio. However, a significant number of the former GamerFM management and staff wished to start again as part of a new online radio venture.
We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with those people over the last 12 months, so naturally we couldn’t resist the opportunity to work even closer with those dedicated people. So we’re proud to announce epic.Radio! Bringing you the same quality content and presenters you’ve come to associate with the former GamerFM name.
This new station means that we can combine the best of online radio with our gaming community, LAN events and other activities planned for our community in the future. It’s going to take some time to get things back up and running (particularly the stream itself), so bear with us and watch this space for the latest news.
We look forward to a great future with epic.Radio and hope you all tune in soon!
Jon Winkle - epic gaming Managing Director

Good communication is the key to winning, from commanding a battle fleet to fighting an ork or just to get yourself healed by the team medic when you need it! We are proud to announce our epic.TeamSpeak 3 server is open for business.
We have decided to change from Mumble as TeamSpeak allows us more control and better integration. Plus we can have cool little icons next to the channel names! Our Mumble server will be shut down at midnight tonight.
Feel free to join the server whenever you want, if it's only for epic.Tuesday, or for any other gaming you are doing throughout the week, it's available for the community to use.
So come on in mock everyone as you steal their dog tags in Battlefield 3, or stab them in the back in TF2, or nom on them as a face hugger in Aliens vs. predator.

So yesterday saw the close of epic.SEVEN (big sad faces). The event has gone too fast as usual and is now over until epic.lite in three weeks or for those of you not making it to lite its over until feb next year! Which seems like ages away but im sure it will come round quickly.
Most of the news is now up regarding the tournament finals and fun tournament finals and as the staff start to recover from LAN a few final posts will go up to fill in the gaps such as full quiz results but to keep you busy in the mean time the Galleries are now up to date with all the images from the last day including prize giving. These can also be found on our facebook page.

I used the opportunity of Rasta arriving back from their B&B to have a word with jakem about how they faired in the tournament and their future plans.
