Robert Langdom and his asskickery

Good news everyone! We’re updating again. There still may occur some technical difficulties, but epictail.com is back online.

This comic is another oldie from the days when “Da Vinci Code” stormed the world. However due to the recent movie, we decided to re-publish it.

Very cute flash game which captures the essence of some jRPGs

Try out the great The Press Space Action RPG candidate to become Action RPG of 2009. In flash!

According to the authors the game contains:

Dynamic Real Time Combat - Jump, slash, and block enemy attacks
Upgradeable Stats - Personalize your character any way you want
Magic spells - Unlease power elemental forces to lay waste to your foes
Shops to purchase additional items and gear to help your quest
Three diabolical bosses to really test your skills
Dramatic cinemas with full voice acting by industry profesionals
11 dramatic orchestral tunes from the fine folks over at the audio portal

I can assure you that there’s even more.

We’re back! (almost)

This week we will start updating again. Even though the problem isn’t clearly resolved, let’s hope it will prove to be of little trouble. Not yet thought, but later today or tomorrow updates will start coming in.

Thanks for your patience.

Technical difficulties

We have to apologize that epictail at the moment is in technical difficulties. Probably you’ve experienced that instead of the page you receive error message about host and database not getting along very well. We get this message from time to time as well and at the moment we’re looking for someone who could look into this problem (there are ideas what exactly is the problem) as none of us can do any programming.

Therefore there will be no updates till we sort out this problem and then the page will function normally again. In the mean time enjoy this proof that Japanese really are the creators of everything crazy (it’s a trailer for a Wii console video game):

Siege of Lothlorien - the Movie

I can gladly present to you a flash movie of grandeur unseen before (or actually seen by some). It is loosely based on “Lord of the Rings”, and features one character from our comics, who hasn’t made his appearance yet in Epictail.

Additionally I have to apologize for a number of visual glitches in the English version of the movie. The original was in Latvian, and it would seem that it wasn’t translated very well, and unfortunately the source files are gone long time ago.

Nonetheless I hope you will enjoy this piece of interpretation about “Lord of the Rings” - “Siege of Lothlorien”.

Numerous apologies

We’re sorry for the delayed comic today. It seems that there are some problems with the servers, which makes it impossible to add a new comic at the moment. However as soon as everything is sorted out, we will put it up without any delay.
In the mean time I propose you to check out this wonderful indie game “Rom Check Fail“. It’s a strange small game that will capture any NES fan and drug addict’s heart.

We’re on Twitter now

Well it’s really nothing special, because everyone is on Twitter nowadays. Still we would seem very outdated if we left it out, so in case you’re using twitter, you can follow the updates of Epictail there.But if anyone with a name involving lizardmen starts following us, we will be very angry and saddened.

Welcome to Epictail!

Welcome to our humble abode. We’re finally open to international audience and not just local folk.

What is Epictail? Let’s be analytic. Epictail consists of Epic and Tail. According to dictionaries Epic is “heroic; majestic; impressively great” or “of unusually great size or extent” and Tail is even more “something majestic and completely dignifying” (and not “the hindmost part of an animal” as some lowly dictionaries suggest). So it’s clear that Epictail spells “AWESOMENESS” with its every molecule.

Except for the fact that it connotes to lizardmen.

Oh, shucks!

Well, anyway you can get more detailed information about Epictail in our FAQ section. Though the main thing is very simple - Epictail is a webcomic about random things connected with sci-fi, fantasy, videogames, movies and pop culture in general.And we consider lizardmen to be pitiful and unimportant and we hate post-modernists. Seriously they should die or be on their way to doing it.

Anyway, to truly enjoy Epictail you shouldn’t be reading this. Just leaf through our comics which we promise to update three times a week. Also there’s going to be more stuff, like poll RPG, but I’ll tell about it another day. For now enjoy our first comics.
