By RPS on August 20th, 2008 at 8:11 am.
We’re twelve months old. Of course you’ll find some “July 2007″ in the archives, but that was us just messing about. Our official, royal birthday is the 20th of August. That means the Rock, Paper, Shotgun project is a year old today.
The reason it has lived this long is because we have readers. We seem to have readers because we have words. We’ve compiled the exhaustive list of the best words from Year One beyond the jump. But before you go there, we want to ask for our birthday present. We want you to read that list and find a link that you can send to a gaming chum who does not read RPS. Share the links, spread the words of RPS, and all shall be merry. Thanks, you. Here’s to another year.

Happy Birthday!
20/08/2008 at 08:30 Jochen Scheisse says:
…but as soon as you start to walk, these pesky old people will come and tell you not to put this and that into your mouth. May that not happen to you for a long time.

20/08/2008 at 08:41 Seniath says:
Oddly enough, it is also my best friends birthday today. I smell a conspiracy.
Anyway, may your writings long continue. Perhaps a community game of TF2 is in order to celebrate *ahem*.
20/08/2008 at 08:43 Fede says:
Congrats!
Links sent ;)
20/08/2008 at 08:43 Acosta says:

I’ve been reading this site almost every day for 9 months. Cheers for the informative entertainment!
20/08/2008 at 09:13 Feet says:
RPS is good and I like it. I can give no greater plaudit.
Posts I can remember thoroughly enjoying reading are Alecs Colonization thingy, Quinns Pathologic three parter and Gillen playing through that game that had a time machine and Warren Spector. Erm. Jim did quite a few high quality posts like the exploration one, the Evecraft one, anything he wrote about Stalker, and Walker pimped so many good free web games. Probably other stuff too.
Though I notice you’ve not done any RPS verdicts for quite a while. Tsk.
20/08/2008 at 09:16 Björn says:
Happy birthday, guys :)
20/08/2008 at 09:19 Crash says:

20/08/2008 at 10:02 Sum0 says:
Only a year? You lucky little blog. That’s ages in blog years, or something.

Merry Christmas RPS!
20/08/2008 at 10:02 Vanderdecken says:
Heh, your birthday is one day and 16 years after mine. Can we be fwiends?
And the cake IS a lie. It’s NOT EVEN AN RPS CAKE, YOU STOLE IT FROM CRAIG. We commenters know all your secrets.
20/08/2008 at 10:10 AndrewC says:
So I should just check in once a year for a list of the wheat?
Noted!
20/08/2008 at 10:12 Mark says:
Happy Birthday RPS. Vanilla Crazy Cake next year?
20/08/2008 at 10:20 Mr Pink says:
Happy Birthday RPS. It’s great to have a gaming site based around the things the writers love, rather than just whatever happens to be “hot” a the time.
20/08/2008 at 10:21 Meat Circus says:
Your words please me.
I shall allow you to live another year.
Be grateful.
20/08/2008 at 10:24 John Walker says:
I totally made that cake for Craig, I’ll have you know.

I has spent many a hour reading RPS, and to think you are now all grown up and are celebrating your first birthday. It makes me happy :D
20/08/2008 at 10:37 dartt says:
IS GOOD BLOG!
Happy Birthday RPS, I can’t think of any 1 year old that has consumed more alcohol.
20/08/2008 at 10:44 Mark Stephenson says:
Happy Birthday RPS!
And to offset those “difficult second album/year blues” can we have a Planetside retrospective please!
20/08/2008 at 10:48 Diogo Ribeiro says:
Awesome! :)
Merry celebration of the yearly lives! :D

Congratulations, maye the site live on forever!
20/08/2008 at 10:59 MasterBoo says:
Happy Birthday to the best gaming blog out there.
20/08/2008 at 11:00 The Hammer says:
Bappy hirthday, RPS! You’re my favourite source of gaming news, analysis (which you’re astoundingly good at!), and opinions.
I think the Exploration, the “Stupid Game Moments”, Limbo of the Lost, Rise of Nations Making Of, the Eric Wolpaw interview, Shogun Total War Making Of, Is The Witcher an RPG, the coverage of the WWI, and all the stuff about Planescape Torment (oh, and the Word Play article!) have been my favourite articles.
Jesus, that’s a long list.
Chers once again, RPS!
20/08/2008 at 11:04 Chaz says:
Well done chaps, and happy 1st birthday to RPS.
Here’s hoping its the first of many to come.
20/08/2008 at 11:07 Cigol says:
Gee, looking back over the past above just goes to show how far this site has plummeted. What was once a vibrant portal for news and views has descended into a menagerie of fart jokes and book pimping.
Oh how the mighty have fallen!
(Don’t mind me, I’m just the jealous sibling who’s trying to draw attention away from your day of happiness)
Happy Birthday!!!
20/08/2008 at 11:09 Myros says:

Happy birthday from Scotland RPS. You are a perfect blend of reason and insanity, long may it continue.
20/08/2008 at 11:21 Andrew says:
You left out Strafe Left, you bastards!
But yes. Congratulations! You’ll need new romper suits soon, you’re growing so fast.
20/08/2008 at 11:22 MacBeth says:
Moar Happy birthday etc.
Stumbled on the site when seeking somewhere to share my adoration of TF2 while I couldn’t play it at work… stayed and have spread the word.
Loving a games site where the writing is good, original, goes off on amusing tangents, concentrates on PC but isn’t afraid to admit that consoles exist, has love for retro and indie gaming but doesn’t fetishise it, has love for teh grafix but can see past them… and generally makes being a PC games player seem an fine, natural and mostly (but not entirely) grown up thing to be.
Cheers!
20/08/2008 at 11:25 JJ says:
Congrats!
20/08/2008 at 11:27 Flint says:
Yay! Congrats!
20/08/2008 at 11:36 itsallcrap says:
Really? Just one? Hey, I’ve been an avid reader for most of your existence, then. I thought I was a latecomer.
Well done, chaps.

Good show, chaps. Happy birthday!
20/08/2008 at 11:58 Turin Turambar says:
Happy birthday. RPS is a great site, i am sure it will grow in something big. pc gaming lives!
20/08/2008 at 11:58 yhancik says:
Ahh, happy one, happy one !
I remember one of the first articles I read on RPS was “Kim Swift and Jeep Barrett on making Portal”… probably via Kotaku.
What really got me hooked was Alec’s brilliant “Crysis: Grand Theft Boato”. Not only was it funny, but also a wonderful breath of fresh air in all that Crysis coverage.
I realize that my recent gaming has been heavily RPS influenced : I restarted STALKER, I finally played Outcast, and recently tried Pathologic. Not to mention all the very indie goodness !
So thank you, oh RPS !
[edit] No Portal joke in the alternate text ??
20/08/2008 at 12:02 Razerious says:
Happy birthday, website!
Words are good
20/08/2008 at 12:02 Mitza says:

20/08/2008 at 12:07 tonic says:
started following rps maybe three months back and seeing old articles in the sidebar was something of a joy but I felt like I was missing out on some of the older good stuff since the sidebar was randomized (?)
so this ‘rps how-to’ is going in my bookmarks for stuff to read at work
20/08/2008 at 12:11 Sax says:
Congratulations.
RPS, rocks!
20/08/2008 at 12:19 Man Raised By Puffins says:

Congrats, RPS! Oh, and linked.
20/08/2008 at 12:58 Sarble says:
Happy Birthday RPS!
Though if it’s like other first birthdays I’ve known, RPS won’t understand what’s going on and will be staggering around with food all over its face, looking blankly at people before going in its nappy and then sitting in it.
20/08/2008 at 13:02 Lh'owon says:
Happy first RPS!
If I had to pick my favouritest site on the whole wide internet, this would be it.
20/08/2008 at 13:03 Monkfish says:
Happy Birthday to You,
Squashed tomatoes and stew,
Bread and butter in the gutter
Etc.
Well, RPS has been my home from homepage from the moment I first clapped eyes on it at just about the same time that the world was going apeshit crazy about BioShock.
Since then, I’ve learnt about games that I never knew existed, seen freezers turned into companion cubes and read some of the finest articles, interviews and snippets of PC gaming commentary this here Interweb has to offer.
So, here’s to the next year. And the year after that. And the one after that. And… oh, you get the point.
20/08/2008 at 13:05 SuperNashwan says:
RPS is now my main go-to for quality games writing, long may it continue :)

Now when are you going to resolve the compos?
My fingers have been trembling in tension since April awaiting the World in Conflict tank results.
20/08/2008 at 13:42 Lake says:
I will be original and say “Happy Birthday, RPS!”

20/08/2008 at 14:13 cyrenic says:
Happy Birthday to my favorite site on the internets.
20/08/2008 at 14:22 Beastman says:
You’re one year older, one year wiser
Rock and roll star, king, czar, and a kaiser
A room full of friends, a mouth full of cake
Every present is for you and it feels pretty great
You’re the man of the hour, the V-I-P
You get the first slice of the P-I-E
But first blow out the candles, and make a wish
Put a smile on, it’s your birthday bitch
20/08/2008 at 14:42 yutt says:
Congratulations guys!
This is without a doubt my favorite gaming site. Please keep providing me free entertainment. ;D
20/08/2008 at 14:45 Graham says:
Happy 1st Birthday RPS
As a present to you on this wonderous day I have finally committed to a subscription which I have been contemplating to do for some time.
It seems only fitting that today I offer my support, but to be honest the subscription rate is considerably less than a crazy smelly aunt would give you on your birthday, sorry, next year I’ll send a card as well.
Keep up the excellent work
20/08/2008 at 14:52 Diogo Ribeiro says:
But now, we’re left to ask – does the birthday win over the shotgun?
20/08/2008 at 15:27 357SIG says:
Happy B-day guys. Congrats on having one of the ONLY gaming sites worth reading.

Happy Birth Day to RPS and I guess everyone here, as one of the best parts of RPS is all the lively discussions we have!
20/08/2008 at 16:32 Will Tomas says:
Happy birthday, RPS! I salute you fine gentlemen who have consistently provided the best games writing on the internet for a whole year. Congratulations.
20/08/2008 at 16:33 Chris R says:
I can’t remember how I stumbled across this site, but it was right about this time last year as well… and boy am I glad I found it.
RPS, don’t ever change.

Why do I get this as “an older story” ? :p
20/08/2008 at 16:57 sbs says:
It’s really only been one year? I have come so accustomed to it, I thought it has been around way longer. I can’t even remember how I stumbled over the site, I think I will have a look through the archives now to find the first post I am familiar with.
Happy birthday RPS!
20/08/2008 at 17:22 Tom says:
Happy birthday!
You guys very quickly become my 1st visited page during the daily web trawl. Quality as standard.
Here’s to another year.

Happy Birthday, Rock Paper Shotgun!
I can still remember my first time here, absolutely enthralled with the idea of a website dedicated to gaming on my favourite platform.
Oh, and most of you arent ‘Yanks,’ so I enjoy that too ;)

20/08/2008 at 17:47 Pijama says:
GRAAAAAATZ!
You guys are the best journalists in gaming, and according to my skewed logic, this turns Rock, Paper, Shotgun in the best site about gaming. Keep it up for many, many years. :D
20/08/2008 at 17:49 Kinglog says:
Happy Birthday!
I came for the Wolpaw interview & have read just about every day since. Great writing.

Happy Birthday, RPS! Falls on the same day as my girlfriends birthday, so i’m not likely to forget it in a hurry ;)
I’ll sink a drink or few in honour of your tireless crusade to make PC gaming journalism just that little bit more interesting, and a hell of a lot funnier. Congratulations!

Happy Birthday guys. I didn’t realise just how young you were when I first happened across you. Or I wouldn’t have bothered, obviously.
You are, and for me will always remain, Nothing Compared to StarCraft 2.

Happy Birthday! And a great opportunity to look back at these games – I just enjoyed re-reading ‘No Jokes Aren’t Funny Anymore’.

Doesn’t time fly? Thanks for one year of terrific reading. (*confession*) I’m not even that much of a PC gamer but what keeps me around is the terrific, insightful writing. Keep up the great work!

Happy Belated Birthday, RPS!
Sorry for being late and all, but I live in the US and don’t read here until late at night (it’s still the 20th here right now, actually).

Thanks to you and your contributors for the hundreds of tasteful reads I’ve eagerly devoured over the last 10 months. (Om, nom, nom, nom…)

One year?? I’ve only recently started reading RPS, but I’ve been under the impression that RPS has been active for a few years.
Happy birthday!
