The EPIC Blog has moved

Hello, denizens of the internet and more importantly, EPIC Ipswich's most fantastic patrons. Those that have been in the store over the past 3 weeks, would have seen the drastic changes in the renovations. Accompanying our new til systems, our new menu, some behind-the-scenes business stuff and the website is getting a revamp.

More on that last note - it does, unfortunately, mean that the blog side of the website had to relocate due to the number of increasing web pages, it meant that our website was running slower and slower with every post (gotta love bandwidth). I am actively working on the issue but didn't want to give up on my dream of one day making it into the big leagues of internet blogging. I'm joking, let's face facts, there is no way on this planet I could get a cooler job than what I have now. I am also not just saying that because the Benevolent Owners haven't signed my adoption papers yet and I am trying to buy my way into their good graces with compliments and flattery.

What does EPIC's blog moving change?

Literally only the website domain and a slightly different layout. All the old articles have already been transferred to Blogger with the same images and attachments. Slight changes in metadata (old links to articles may not work for the time being). For us at EPIC it means we can give you a fun and more engaging Website with a higher QoS (quality of service).

It also means that there'll be more opportunities for user engagement, now all you need is a google account to be able to comment and interact with us. This also better helps us future proof some upcoming projects I fear not being able to share but without confirming or denying, it may involve video streaming and more MP4 on social media platforms and Youtube....

From all of us at EPIC we would like to thank you all, our beloved community, for your ongoing support as we continue to change and grow our business with you at the heart of it.

Your friend and Ally,

Lachy

The website got a facelift

It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

Team Cupcake and Why they run Bingo

Bingo has been a staple at EPIC Ipswich since it first opened, originally running 6 Games a week (3 in the morning and 3 at night during weeknights), now it sees over 100 people weekly for our Friday night Bingo and our end-of-month Speed Bingo, a late session after the normal Bingo held on the last Friday of each month. To the surprise of many, EPIC Ipswich merely provides the staff and venue for BINGO, it's actually organised by Shell's Team Cupcake, a not-for-profit organisation. But what is Team Cupcake and what is their mission? How did Team Cupcake come about? Team Cupcake Inc started out with a couple of friends and some family raising money to pay for a beloved friend's secondary cancer treatment. Along their journey, we discovered that there were many other people in Ipswich that need a little helping hand and sometimes just needed to know that someone was thinking of them and cared. And so Team Cupcake became incorporated so that they could help to ease the burden...

The Adventures of a D&D Penguin - a Kids D&D Game

Say what you like about the mind of a child, there is no denying the imagination we had as kids vastly changes as we all come into adulthood. For me it’s something I feel is a loss – I could spend hours in the backyard of my childhood home, swinging sticks like they were swords, lightsabers, magic wands or a wizard’s staff. Nowadays I spend time imagining social interactions in my head, playing out a scenario in my head on drives between places or as I make my morning coffee, comparably less cool than being a freaking wizard! The fact I still can recall a lot of those games of make-believe around my junior school playground speaks volumes about the impact imagination has on a developing brain. This is one of the reasons I am constantly dumbfounded when I DM (Dungeon Master) a game of Dungeons and Dragons for kids and they do something truly amazing that ruminates in my mind and happily lives there rent-free weeks after it’s. This, dear reader, is the story of how my Dungeon...
