What the FBLTHP Happened to EPIC!?!

Citizens of Ipswich, Patrons, my friends. I cannot find the strength to tell you all. There’s been a travesty.

EPIC Ipswich was once again forced to make quick renovations after someone found Fblthp. Someone found Fblthp and instead of reporting his location to us – they did the unthinkable. THEY FED FBLTHP AFTER MIDNIGHT!

There is a reason that the store closes well before midnight every night, to prevent this from happening. It is with a heavy heart I inform you that someone fed him my car keys on the night of Saturday the 2nd of July.

Security captured this on camera moments after he had consumed my car keys!

We tried to detain him and catch him but he ran into the confectionary, where he consumed more! In trying to thwart him from entering a state of sugar rush the sweets stand was toppled and he fled into the retail space!

We removed every game and book we could, we cleared the entire section and still couldn’t catch him! Just when it seemed like we had him cornered after he had no more store products left to hide behind, he did the unthinkable… he ran straight into our walls!

We heard him scurrying in there like a rat in the wall and nearly managed to render him unconscious with the use of a hammer, only to lose him. We tore down that entire wall and he still wasn’t there!

It wasn’t until we tore down the adjacent wall that we found him there, sitting exhausted from his sugar crash. Essentially exhausted, the owners sat him in the middle of the wreck he had caused, like a dog forced to smell its own pee.

All well that ends well – or so I thought.

Whilst Fblthp helped clean up the destruction and mayhem he had caused, I recovered my keys (don’t ask how) and retreated to the comfort of my car….

Thank You to Everyone that helped us at EPIC Ipswich with our Weekend Renovations!

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...

Phyrexia All Will Be One - A summary of Mechanics and Archetypes

Once again I find myself in the position of watching everyone else have fun at Prerelease for the new set and this time I cannot put into words how disappointed I am to be unable to partake. Everyone who plays against me in MTG jokes that I'm "a Phyrexian Simp". To help you wrap your head around it and help with deck building for prerelease I have compiled the Mechanics and Archetypes into a single blog post you may scroll through to help. Mechanics Toxic Toxic is the new infect- applying Poison counters to an opponent when a creature with Toxic deals combat damage. The damage applied to an opponent’s life total is reduced with the combat damage and the number of Poison counters applied is determined by the number next to Toxic in that creature’s text box. Corrupted Corrupted is a new MTG mechanic in Phyrexia All Will Be One that adds value to Poison counters. Upon an opponent having 10 Poison counters, the game is ended. The Corrupted mechanic allows permanents to have...
