If you’re one of those who becomes outraged by our occasional (alright, regular) self-indulgence/celebration on RPS, you should wander away now and pretend this story isn’t here. What story? Exactly.
I’ve just received a very large box in the post. What could it be? An unsubtle letter bomb from angry Alice fans? The optimism I lost somewhere aged about 6? Oh, that’s right – it’s my birthday today. This is probably some kind of ‘gift’, which is what I believe you human creatures share on such occasions. The box originated from my father and his missus, which led me to guess it’d contain either some sort of adorably retro toy or some manner of practical joke that’d spray me with cold tea or something. I opened it with some trepidation, and inside I discovered…
The world’s first and only Rock, Paper, Shotgun cushion! When we are elected the New Gods, this one-of-a-kind head-comforter will be a collector’s item worth billions. I absolutely guarantee it.
No, you can’t have it. What you can have is an official RPS t-shirt that bears the same logo (and from which I presume my parents cribbed for ultro-cushion). The t-shirts are this: super-fashion! Englishers, we are looking into a way to make the postage a bit easier on our fellow countrymen – watch this space.
Happy Birthday! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
So as well as it being your birthday where you shall get presents and cake (lie!) and celebrating in the giant golden mansion/space robot you purchased with your ill-gotten games-reviewing fortune, you now have a burping cat?
Some guys get all the luck.
Hippo Birdies, Alec. I suggest you construct a celebratory pillow-fort, with this mighty cushion put in a place of honor.
I’m currently awaiting the RPS Hivemind Plushies. Each comes with 5 different catchphrases that are activated by strangling them.
Happy Birthday Mr. Meer! Does Ripley T. Cat happen to be wherever you want to take photos, or do you staple him/her to whatever surface is in focus?
Congrats!
hip hip hip hooray, hip hip hip hooray, hip hip hip hooray,
Happy birphday
tanks for you obsessive gamer updated which quantify my hour checking of your site…
did someone say TANK.. ahhh who has a moltov!!??!?!
Have a good one, Mr. Meer.
I still think a T-Shirt for the cat would have been more fun.
appy birfday you SLAAAAAAAAG
so THAT’S a Meercat?!!
i did wonder
H.P.B.D
At least someone is making money off PC gaming.
Happy Birthday you fine gentleman you! I’m personally jealous of your cushoin of WIN. +1 INTERNET to the RPS Overlords!!!!!!!
I think that what I actually like about the site.
“Lay down your weary head” seems like it could come from anywhere, but you meant Dylan, right?
Happy Birthday and all…
Happy Beer Day Alec :)
It’s your birthday? And a merry internet to you to! Of the four RPS Overlords, you are clearly the birthday-est of all four.
I have the esteemed status that that cat has only ever chosen to sit on me aside from Mr Meer. I feel quite privileged. Although it might have something to do with Alec playing Gear of War 2 at the time and the cat simply staging a protest.
;)
Happy Birthday! It’s still Feb 26th in the USA as of this comment. Therefore your birthday goes on even when you’ve moved on, Mr. Meer.
Happy birthday from the future/past um thing.
That pillow’s a spy!
Happy birthday!
Now, just need a UK supplier of that t-shirt and I’ll order! xD
