You know what we’ve earned? A holiday! So after our 12th Game of Christmas goes up today (what will it be? what’s the game of the year?!), the four titans of RPS will be spinning a cocoon around their weary caterpillar bodies and resting for a week. Once our pupae state is over we will emerge like hairy moths into a new year. A year we are going to call “2009″. We hope it will catch on. That said, bits and pieces will be appearing throughout the week – keep checking. It’s not like it’s possible to stop Kieron writing Sunday Papers.
Thank you to every single reader who has clicked on our site this year. It’s been a goodun, which has seen Rock, Paper, Shotgun grow and develop into something we’re damned proud of. We’re only going to get better, so you should probably wear protective clothing, or at least a firm hat. Raise a glass to Horace The Endless Bear at this festive time of year, or to whichever minority religious deity you are prescribed, and make merry. Happy Christmas everyone. We’re back proper on the very 2nd of January.
Horace is sponsored by the Large Hadron Collider: soft, strong and very, very long.
(May cause black holes, batteries not included)
Rock, Paper, Shotgun is pure, columbian WIN.
Merry Christmas guys!
Also, you are all amazing.
Thanks for helping an aging junkie support his addiction. You blokes are the best.
Long time Lurker, First time poster. I wanted my first post to contain nothing short of unabashed, elated gratitude at you fine gentlemen for the best PC gaming news/blog/whateverthehellyouwant website out there on these Tubes I surf through daily. May you continue to offer fine morsels and delectable tasty treats for those of us who know the pinnacle of gaming isn’t relegated to twiddling our thumbs but, instead, to vaguely moving your right arm while mashing keys with our left hand.
Above all, I give my gratitude. Thank You, Good Sirs. Keep up the good Work. Thank You.
Surely if Horace is Endless, he has no end of any kind, rear-end or not?
I’ll leave it up to the official Horaceologians to determine the truth of the matter, though.
There are those who saw his backside first and insist he has no front.
If an endless bear poops in the wood, does it make a sound? Does the sound ever end.
Horace never poops. The maximum speed that the food he eats can travel is the speed of light, so if he is endless, the food he eats never reaches his quantum posterior.
Heads up to all you RPS’ians: The Steam sale’s just hit.
There’s actually some really good deals in there, but everything’s at least 10% off.
Shame the guys went on hiatus before being able to get this one last story out.
Thanks Hivemind. Thivemind.
May 2009 be the best 2008 evar!
The question started “if” it was a philosophical question not metaphysical. Short form: that was not an answer. What if it poops?
Those suffering from RPS withdrawal symptoms might want to check here. Quite entertaining Super Smash Bros. bashing lies within.
Merry Christmas, fine fellows of RPS. Keep the port out of grandmother’s grasping, pallsied hands this festive season eh what?
Heliocentric: Apologies, although I note that sometimes you don’t use full stops (e.g. from ‘ “if” ‘ to ‘it’), so I claim shenanigans on any grammatical quibbles.
If it poops: again, I defer to the Horaceologians, but my understanding is that the universe ends.
Happy Xmas or what-have-you! Best blog on the whole wide wide world of web.
Slightly belated Merry Christmas, RPS! Here’s hoping Space Year 2009 will be as enlightening and hilarious as 2008 was.
Maybe PC gaming will finally die in the year 2009. ;)
Thanks for the words and podcasts and beards, RPS.
So what is a follower of Horace the Endless Bear called, anyway? I’m thinking of converting from Pastafarianism.
Thanks, guys!
And special thanks to those of us who give RPS some shiny pennies every month in good faith that they will eventually reward us with some splendid subscriber content. ;)
Well, the occasional email offers are nice, as is the warm happy feeling.
And not feeling guilty about blocking the adds.
Wait, what?
E-mail offers you say?
I haven’t blocked anything RPS related and there’s been nothing going into my junk-o-folder without me telling it to do so that I’ve noticed.
What have I been missing? :(
