For people who are new to our events, it's always useful to be able to put names to faces when you get there, so that you know who to ask for assistance.

So we've put together a few mugshots of the team members to help you out! Take a look at our Meet the Team page to find out more.

Our good friends at Crucial have confirmed that they will be sending their support to epic.THREE with a great selection of goodies, including a top prize of a 4GB DDR2 Ballistix RAM kit and of course plenty Memory Hawg pigs!

Everybody's favourite LAN retailer, Kustom, will be coming along for a couple of days of epic.THREE to bring their great selection of peripherals, Kool Aid and of course Scottish Tablet for your enjoyment!

Plenty more details to be announced closer to the time, including the stock list and details of how to pre-order and collect at LAN.

The Kustom team will also be running a load of fun games on their stand with plenty of prizes for you all to win!

A game that should have been so highly anticipated, seems to have been released with a world of badly thought out ideas initially thought to have the impact of alienating the PC gaming community.

Now the game is out and people are starting to take an actual look at the gameplay are some people being won around at least from a casual gaming point of view?

The single player campaign is fun, though of course filled with some controversial scenes. Co-op looks OK, but right now the game does appear to be unplayable in a competitive scene.

So what do the people who have already bought it think? Take a look at the epic community's reaction to what should have been one of the  games to look forward to in 2009.

Not long to go now until team epic.LAN heads over to the world's biggest computer festival, Dreamhack in Sweden. Last winter over 10,000 people were checked into the event which encompasses not only gaming, but programming, music, design...in fact anything involving a computer.

Winbar, Saboo & Murray-Mint will be making the epic journey from Wednesday 26th through to Sunday 29th November and we'll be keeping you up to date throughout with regular blog updates to the website from all three members of the team and also on the epic.LAN Twitter. We'll make sure we upload plenty of photos and video clips where possible too, ready to inspire more of you to join us on the trip next year!

For those who enjoy LAN parties, this one is a must! It's a totally different style event to anything that happens in the UK, but really does aim to encourage a festival atmosphere...with computers.

Watch this space for the team coverage, starting right at the beginning of the journey from around 4am on Wednesday 26th November!

We're sure some of you want to see a bit more of the epic.THREE venue and the facilities on offer, so we've updated our venue pages with some new details and pictures of the various facilities at the event which will also hopefully help you to find out where you're going when you arrive on site!

We're pleased to announce the return of the Decorate Your Desk competition at our next event after some great efforts made at epic.TWO, but this time we want more people taking part!

Prizes will be available to the most creative way in which people customise their space at the LAN and will be judged on the Friday evening of epic.THREE.

The main rules of the contest are that the entry must be safe, cannot use loud noises, cannot plug into the event power system and cannot excessively irritate your neighbours!

This is just the first of our mini-contests to be announced for epic.THREE, but you can only take part if you're there. Visit the epic.THREE site for more details and to sign up.
