Like all good Northern Europeans we’re off setting things on fire and drinking hot booze, but we nevertheless wanted to wish you all a pleasant year end, and thank you all for making the past many months so entertaining. 2009, we’ve been informed, will be even better, at least if you like reading about PC games. Which we do.
Thanks, Internet. Here’s to the future.
Happy new year everyone.
(Or as one of our next door neighbours just said, on the fact that it seems no one goes out into the street to celebrate the new year anymore, “Happy New Year you miserable gits”… Heard it through the window, which really ought to have some more sealant put around the windowframe.)
Happy new year from Greekland, where it has been 2009 for the whole of the two hours past already. It seems like a worthwhile year!
It isn’t 2009 in America yet, so it doesn’t count.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year RPS! Here’s to more bizarre and pointless articles and more aim mass
brawlsdiscussions in the comments thread about DRM!! :PHappy New Year, RPS! Love you!
Happy new year from yet another Greekland person, RPS. You do so much want to set the world on fire, sometimes!
Well, I’m out in Australia and about 11 and a half hours into Real Life 2K9 and I have to say I’m disappointed. Other than a few graphical tweaks and general usability fixes, 2009 is remarkably similar to 2008 – you really have to wonder what the developers were doing for 12 months.
And the bugs. I mean, honestly, when all you’re doing is making a few alterations here and there, how do you manage to introduce more bugs than there were previously? The economy is shot resulting in mysteriously cheap fuel for the masses, and the weather is entirely buggered – it’s an Australian summer that hasn’t managed over 40 degrees celsius yet.
If companies think I’m gonna keep forking out for crap like this then they’re sadly mistaken. And they can stick their DRM up their arse, why cant I be in two places at once? To the ships lads!
Haaappy New Year, folks!
WHERE ARE MY FUCKING HOVERCARS
@mpk: They floated away.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Happy new year, all.
Best of the old and best of the new to you all.
Keep up the good work chaps.
Blah blah guns blah blah europeans blah blah america blah blah bah
Just kidding, happy near new year!
Happy new year guys, and may you all have many, many articles and reviews commissioned in 2009.
Happy New Year!
Thinternet.
Happy 2009 period, and a Merry Auxillary Genrosity Period to all.
Happy New Period of Revolution Around Sol everyone!
happeenooyurr!!!
It’s 1:05 PM in Australia :)
woo!
I spent midnight on new years eve playing saints row 2 and Call of Duty. WHAT DID YOU DO? I bet it wasn’t half as amazing as that.
Happy new year!
Happy new year! May 2009 bring us lots of PC Gaming excitement.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ lang syne ?
It’s not even 7pm here in California. Not fair that Europe is in THE FUTURE!
We don’t celebrate in the streets because
1 – The streets are outside, and as Noth Americans, most of us fear The Outside.
2 – The Outside is also a potential for interaction with our Neighbors. We don’t like other people, unless they have something to do with Us. Plus, Other People are scary.
3 – The types of people that DO celebrate in the streets are Not Like Us, and are likely to shoot gun in the air.*
*Actually, that last part is true, and is the 2nd biggest argument as to why the majority of us SHOULD be allowed to possess/carry/wield firearms.
Anyway, happy new (Gregorian Calendar) year!
P.S. I think I will start a new tradition of dumping tea into the nearest body of water on New Year’s. :P
Ah que c’est bon bon de prendre un verre de bière
Avec la cuisinière dans un petit coin noir
Pis si c’est bon bon, faites-le en riant
Y a pas de mal là-dedans dans le temps du jour de l’an
Happy new year my fellow gamers. In it for the last 23 years and in it for the next 100.
Happy new year everyone!
Helloooooo. Yeah, ok, I’m drunk.
Happy new year RPS’ers. I am drunk and bitter, and on the internet. This is known as a bad mix.
Happy New Year from America’s Midwest! Gonna be a good year, I can feel it.
Happy new WHAT.
2009 is going to be shit. Let’s be honest here. At least I’ll have Pags to help me through the hard times.
I’M HERE FOR YOU MEAT.
Let’s play Little Big Planet together and forget the real world.
We rotated the whole way around the sun again! Heres to not either falling into the sun or falling away into the frozen wastes of deep space.
I quite liked that year. Anyone fancy another one?
I shouldn’t. Years make me get tired, ill. And ultimately die.
Whoo! Happy new year!
Merry New Year internet people!
@ mpk: They keep them on the Isle of Wight, this one is trying to escape but it won’t get far. It’s better for everyone this way.
I blame DRM! I’m sure we’d still be able to play 2008 if it wasn’t for the DRM fascists! ;)
Happy new year!
Happy new (lot of games) year 2009 !
Happy New Year! Although, if I’m honest, today is just the same as yesterday, but the calendar date changed. Which just describes everyday. Sorry for spoiling it for everyone.
I see, you’re all up to your usual antics, eh?
Happy New Year everyone (oder Frohes Neues as we say it around here.)
*whispers* You’ve discovered one of lifes big secrets! .. we’re actually just celebrating a changed date – in fact, most celebrations are really the celebrations of changed dates.. keep it to yourself, though..!
Ola comrades, have a happy new year!
Happpy New Year!
May all of your hangovers ease quickly!
Happy New Year! Here’s to another 135+ years of fine journalistic pieces! Huzzah!
Well here’s to another year wasted away playing computer games and watching TV.
Happy New Year :) have a glorious 2009
