We have lots of events celebrating superheroes, but even at EC we realize you just have to be "bad" once in a while!
So, we decided to celebrate two of our favorite villains, and one artist who's work is so good, it's "criminal"!!!
The Joker stopped by with his on-again-off-in-the-head-again lady friend, Harley Quinn.!!! We also invited our friend and DC Comics' Harley Quinn colorist Paul Mounts to stop by for a special meet and greet with his fans!!!
In addition, we gave away free Joker figures, and Ghost In The Shell movie posters,(out on DVD/BluRay now), and held a free raffle for a Harley and Joker Fan Pack, which included Batman: The Animated Series and Funko action figures, as well as a DC Legion of Collectors box from Funko with a Batman villains theme!!!
Joker and Harley can be pretty intimidating in person, and we're happy to say most of our young guests took to them pretty quickly, so a fun time was had by everyone!!!
We had a great time as well, and we thank all of you who made our day so special!!! ... See MoreSee Less

Join us during our Joker & Harley Quinn Day at EC!, as our friends from All Things Nerdy host EC Game Day, with our spotlight on Amun Re, from Tasty Minstrel Games!!!
If you're new to the game, worry not!!! Our ATN friends will help you learn in a friendly, patient and welcoming atmosphere, and you're sure to have lots of fun!!!
From Tasty Minstrel:
Everyone knows of the pyramids on the Nile - eternal monuments of a powerful and beautiful culture, that can still take our breath away. The pharaohs choose their sites, build their pyramids, and thank Amun Re and the other Gods for their bounty. Each player wants, as pharaoh, to build the most pyramids. To accomplish this, he must first acquire a province, where he can trade and farm. With his profits, he can buy new provinces and building stones to erect pyramids. For all his actions, the player must make clever use of his power cards, and always offer appropriate sacrifices to Amun Re. Players must always keep their eyes on the goal of the building of the eternal pyramids or risk falling behind in points. ... See MoreSee Less

Join us as our friends from All Things Nerdy host EC Game Night!!! This week we're getting together to play Steam Park from IELLO!!!
If you're new to Steam Park, you can attend our Learn & Play session in a friendly, patient, welcoming environment, from 6-7pm, and then stay for Open Play of Steam Park, or any of our many demos from 7-9pm!!!
From iello:
As owners of a fantastic steam park, you're to build gigantic, coal-powered rides to attract as many visitors as you can - but building attractions won't be enough. You'll also need to manage your employees, invest in advertising in order to attract and please the different kinds of guests visiting your park, and, above all, keep the dirt that your park produces under strict control! Steam Park is an easy-to-learn game with two difficulty levels: one for the less experienced gamers and a more strategic one for those who want a more exciting challenge. In this management game, you'll have to build your own amusement park and make it the largest and most profitable in the region. By constructing the three-dimensional, wonderful rides designed by Marie Cardouat, you will see your park grow right before your eyes. Choose your strategy! Build Stands to attract more Visitors, or Toilets to keep the Dirt under control. Whatever decision you take, take it quickly: The less time you spend planning, the more time you'll have to maintain your park. Thanks to a clever, original action-choosing mechanism, winning in Steam Park is as much a matter of being the best as of being the fastest! ... See MoreSee Less
