The Last EpicToon Blog of the Decade!
TweetShareIt’s not the big meals that cause you to pack on the pounds at Christmas, it’s all that incessant snacking that does it. Every fifteen minutes it seems there’s a reason to chow down on something sweet, sugary, fatty or fizzy. Ten minutes after Christmas lunch… “dessert anyone?” Fifteen minutes later some relatives arrive, “hey, [...]

A Very Merry Christmas, From The EpicToon Gang!
TweetShareHot dang, it’s Christmas! Gifts have been opened, mince pies, cinnamon rolls, angel delight, gingerbread and snow-tip cookies, as well as champagne’s, beers and wines of various vintages consumed. Wrapping paper litters the floor, and all that’s left intact (for now) are the stockings and a few Christmas crackers… and yet, the news rolls on! [...]

Gamer Gifts and MMO Freebies
TweetShareChristmas Eve is right around the corner and the gifts are piling up around the fern tree. Call it gamer’s intuition, but I doubt these shiny boxes will have anything cooler than a solid-brick fruitcake or a murloc shirt. So if you’re a bit unlucky, don’t fret. Here are some awesome stuff to snag for [...]

Aion’s Refer-a-Friend, Age of Conan and Child’s Play
TweetShareWe’re heading into that anxious period of time before Christmas, the no-man’s land where you think you still have time, only to realise in a couple of days that Christmas is right around the corner, and you’d better get some shopping done, STAT! For my part I’ve picked up just one present, and I’ve got [...]

Epic Verdict: Beta Test Booms, Murloc Merch Blows

Final Fantasy XIV Beta, Star Trek Online and the Feast of the Winter Veil
TweetShareApologies for the tardy blog today folks, my ISP has deemed it fit to spread a little Christmas cheer my way in the form of inconsistent service. Aside from that though, all seems to be well in the Coker household. We’ve got jello (or jelly if you’re a Brit), gingerbread, mince pies, puddn’s, cheesecakes and [...]

Solarius and Winter Veil: A Roleplayer’s POV
TweetShare Pop culture has painted quite an accurate stereotype of online gamers (bespectacled, introvert and sci-fi fan), but it’s often bothered me how we’re clumped together with regards to play style. Not all of us are after mere hacking and slashing, because frankly, that’s just one aspect of MMOs. One can often find item fanatics [...]

Age of Conan Free Unlimited Trial, Aion’s Solorius Festival and Star Trek Online
TweetShareI must admit that right now I feel a bit guilty, for as I chomp down on a comically large bar of festive nougat, a stack of mince pies and some hot chocolate staring at me, I can already feel my waistline expanding. But what the heck it’s the holidays right? Ti’s the season to [...]

Fall of the Lich King Patch Notes, Will of a Tyrant, WAR Patch 1.3.3
TweetShareI just finished a quick run through of the PS3 demo for EA’s God of War inspired um… homage, Dante’s Inferno, which has been stunningly accurately described as the “dudebro” version of Mr. Alighieri’s famous poem. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t fun though, I figure it’ll make a great stop-gap game till the Return of [...]

Rise of the Godslayer, Everquest II and World of Warcraft Patch 3.3
TweetShareI made a tough decision yesterday. 30 odd hours in, I decided to stop playing Dragon Age: Origins on PC and get it on PS3 instead. I know the PC version the “superior” version, but frankly I don’t need another reason to stay glued to my PC screen for hours on end, my poor squinty [...]
