Trouble at EPICon
Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date information!
Channel 5 is still proud to be bringing you the exclusive content live from EPICon! Just before the commercial break, we had Tres Neufeld of Dynamo Systems sharing exciting new information about the updated weather generation engine for the upcoming sequel to Legend of Hilda. If you missed it, stay tuned for a replay later in the day!
Any minute now, the second of the guest speakers will be taking the auditorium stage. Junichiro Kurokawa, the creator of Almost Metal Scientist, is set to hold a Q&A session regarding the upcoming movie adapt--
Look at me! I have a third eye! Oooooh, how intimidating!
Shut it, Nico. Do you even know what a third eye is? No, because all your games rely on brute force and mindless firepower.
Er, sorry about that. There seems to be some kind of argument breaking out in the crowd. As I was saying, the creator of Almost Metal Scientist will be fielding questions from the crowd about the upcoming movie adaption. Said to focus on the Revenge Arc of the plot, many fans are wondering how character development will be handled, or if this film will be a product for the die-hard f--
Of course I know what a third eye is. But you're fighting a freaking lock, Manwar. Just go get a crowbar. It doesn't take psychic ability!
Psst! Cover this, Lloyd.
It's not just any lock, Nico. It's ENCHANTED. Brute force isn't going to work on it! Plus, you know, there are undead protecting it as well. You need strategy!
Strategy? They're living dead. You burn the corpses and move on! Gosh, these card games are so one dimensional. Give me a video game with multiple scenarios going on at once, so I have to think!
I hope you're joking. There are so many threats going on in a card game at once! Your hit points! Your remaining deck! Whether or not you should play that card now or risk waiting! Don't even pretend there's any thinking going on in your games. You point and click and BOOM! the monster is dead.
You act like card games are the only games with a risk of death or cooldowns to consider. You realize most video games also have hit points and a risk if you choose to use a particular move now instead of later, don't you? You're so ignorant and outdated. Just because we have spectacular graphics when we do choose to blow something up, that doesn't mean it's mindless! Join the times, Manwar. Video gaming is much more popular than your tabletop models.
Ignorant and outdated?! Have you even tried playing a card game? They're freaking timeless, and they don't require batteries or tons of cables and wires. And you know the best part? I get to play in a room face-to-face with all of my friends, instead of locked away in MY MOM'S BASEMENT PLAYING AGAINST SOME LOSER NAMED xXxTEABAG69xXx .
You leave my mother out of this! I pay rent and she happens to be an excellent cook! I'm willing to bet you that of all the booths here at this convention, the ones related to video games outsell your "timeless" games by a landslide!
You're on, Nico! Loser has to play the winner's favorite game for a day!
Haha, I'm looking forward to seeing you with a wireless remote in your hands. Later, pal.
You heard it here first, folks! A wager between the Video Gamers and the Tabletop Players. The crowd is already is beginning to rally behind their favorite cause, lining up to support Team Nico or Team Manwar. This is going to be an interesting EPICon! More on this story as it develops. This is Titania McGee signing off. Game on, Subeta!

You can bet that the average will fly when they bring out the other ways to gain points. I dont have any points yet, though Ive tried. I work for 9 hours a day, have a family to take care of, and just plain SUCK at restocking even when I do get time to try.
So, in theory, unless you join the tabletop gamers with less mainstream fans, it doesn't matter how well you do simply because there are more people dragging down the team than supporting the team.
Well then.
I'm a bit slow it seems, ha!
ANYWAY! Woop woop! Intense!
Now I'm kind of rooting for Manny to win just to see it happen :'D

Hats off to you, friends.

And by the way, he's only named Teabag69 because he had 70 teabags left just before he had a brain fart on his name. His mom hadn't gone to the store yet.... He's an Earl Gray nut....
(hehehehe I posted this in the wrong forum.... Are there any events we can do for this yet? Please message me.)
Seriously though, sounds like a fun event, especially with the promise of other things to do. Can't wait to see what happens!
