Now it's your chance to have a try at spinning the decks with our DJ Hero Fun Tournament at epic.THREE in February.

For some late night random fun, we're going to be hosting a DJ Hero competition at the event so you too can learn how to be a top DJ...well, almost!

And don't forget as part of the event entertainment we have a number of live sets from our very own DJs Haden & Superchief and a bit of random musical Armagetron fun from Graeme (Kustom).

The exact competition format is yet to be determined, but it's likely to be the highest average score over a number of sets.

But again, to take part you need to be there!

Find out more about epic.THREE and book your place now!

The first draft of our epic.THREE timetable has been released giving you an idea of some of the organised activities we'll be running over the weekend.

You'll also see on there our three fun-tournaments which we can now confirm will be:

• 5v5 Team Fortress 2
• 1on1 CSS Rifle Trifle Cup
• Trackmania

The timetable just shows our big games and mini tournaments (hence mainly showing FPS games), but of course you're free to play whatever you want whenever you want throughout the weekend. Just shout up if you want a game of anything, and people will join in! We'll be randomly putting on some mini-games for other genres too.

So start having a think about your teams ready for the TF2! Both the CSS and Trackmania will just be individual fun events.

As you can see, there's loads going on at epic.THREE, book now if you don't want to miss out on the fun!

Following on from epic.TWO, we made the commitment to improve the scheduling and communications at the events. After a number of staff discussions, and some inspiration from other events, we've decided to look at the big screen as a better communications method, as well as clearing up the sound from the speaker system.

Our current big screen used simple PowerPoint to display messages. While it did the job for static announcements, it made it difficult to include any dynamic content and was also a bit clunky to update.
