...in writing or graphics?

If so, you may be interested in an upcoming project from the team at epic.LAN.

We're looking for a few people with a bit of a creative side who are good at writing news/review type articles or with basic design skills for something new as part of what we offer from epic.LAN.

Unfortunately there's no payment in it, but it will give people the chance to put something back into the community and also gain experience that would be useful for those looking to go into journalism or the IT/games industry at a later date.

If you are interested, email us at enquiries@epiclan.co.uk with a brief description of your experience and maybe some sample articles of things you've done in the past and we'll take a look.

Discuss this on the forums...

The Left4Dead server is back online for all to enjoy and ready for the upcoming new content. For more details about the server and how you can contribute towards its upkeep visit our L4D Page.

In case it's been bugging you ever since, you can now download the answers to the epic.HUNT @ epic.ONE here:

Here's Nivek's entry for the Open Mic Night for Red Nose Day. £138 was raised on the night thanks to the epic.ONE participants.

Sorry it's late but for those of you who want to see what you're missing here at epic.ONE

Everyone is doing it and so are we!

Red Nose Day 09 falls right in the middle of epic.ONE, so we've decided to run a few activities to raise some funds for the good cause both during the event and in the run up online.

Some of the things will include optional entrance fees to some of the activities we're running already where the money goes to the charity, if you don't want to donate it won't stop you joining in.

We'll also be running a few specific activities on the day that we'll be revealling over coming weeks. The first is our Open Mic Session that will be taking place as some extra entertainment on Friday evening while everyone is in Fancy Dress.

If you want to get involved before hand, you can visit our donation page at www.myrednoseday.com/epiclan and if you want to, you can make a donation in advance.

Make sure you all buy a Red Nose too for the event, it would be good to try to get a photo with 100 gamers all at their PCs in red noses!
