James Benson contacted us, saying after a hard day’s animating in Source, he decided to relax by creating an animation of Rock, Paper, Shotgun. James, we salute you.

Ha. ^_^
report
Lovely. :golfclap:
report
Great work! =D made me smile
report
Haha, very good.
report
Still nothing beats “Five-o for violence”. But the animation quality of this is really good :-)
report
Hahaha, awesome
report
Made me chuckle :)
report
Ahahaha. Niiiiiice!
report
The setting looks like if they turned a Baldur’s Gate I background 3D. Also lol
report
:D
report
Nicely done :)
report
Oh, well-played, James. In every sense of the word. :D
report
Genius!
report
Huzzah!
report
I got a boner off this.
report
Hey guys I’m really glad you enjoyed it, totally didn’t think it would get picked up by JOHN BLOODY WALKER WOOOOOOO,
TY John, I’m totally going to put the footage in my reel now :D (Trying to break into games industry atm)
report
Brilliant anamation
report
They don’t play “Rock, Paper, Shotgun”, but “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shotgun”. I saw the Scissors.
report
I also thought there were scissors : ) But brill video!
report
Haha fantastic stuff
report
I lold
report
Awesome. I lol’d.
Personally though I was hoping for a gmod flailing video starring the RPS dudes.
report
AWESOME.
This should be made into an official site intro, or a greeting card, or ANYTHING just for when people ask “what is RPS” =D
report
:D
report
So, is this getting released or what?
report
From now on, that is the introduction to all of your articles. From now on.
report
Not bad.
Quite good.
Yeah that’s it
report
I would SO make them a proper version for an RPS intro video if they wanted (although they don’t actually make videos thinking about it, maybe if there’s an RPS videocast at some point in the future! You have my email!)
report
Proof that Shotgun beats all. Hands down. Or rather, 12 gauge down. =D
report
Good stuff!
report
Most excellent.
report
Someone should invent a word for that feeling you get when you’re waiting to laugh.
I was waiting for the shotgun, it appeared and then I laughed.
Job done.
report
That was great that made my day. Vary well done to
report
Thats fantastic, especially the whole punching the air in a “damnit” fashion.
report
goooooooaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!!!!!
report
lqtm (laughing quietly to myself)
report
And to the people pondering the issue: it should be made into a flash banner, a la Game Life’s old banner, which was a flash version of Pong, iirc.
report
Everyone knows it’s 1,2,3 and then go.
report
Brill, but I wish it was a classic pump shot rather then some sort of military looking semi-auto.
report
win!
report
@Phil: NO! I think?
report
Even more classic, the sawn-off shotgun. Bonus points if it’s from Sicily.
report
This is how most of my RPS games end up.
report
@Phil Where I’m from the draw is on the third beat.
report
I clearly recall kids back where I grew up saying “Jon-Ken-PON!” And showing on “pon.” And I think that counts as the third beat.
It was only after I discovered the internet that this was actually the name of the Japanese take on the game. I just assumed it was Hawaiian kids being silly.
report
It can either be drawn on the third beat or on the beat after the third, learnt this from sitting with a group of lads in my science group, who were in a debate about which one was better.
I like doing the beat after the third. :D
report
I’m faily sure there should be more than this one post under the tag ‘rps-self-indulgence.’
report
Reminds me of late night, drunken rock paper scissors games on the night bus here in Toronto.
Shotgun not involved.
Usually.
report
I was blown away when i saw that on youtube (its now up to #41 most viewed in the UK)
report
I’ve always thought Rock Paper Shotgun was the beta version of Rock Paper Scissors. Before the shotgun was nerfed in 1.1 for balance reasons.
report
Fucking. Amazing.
report
Hilarious :)
report
Fantastic…
report
James Benson, you are a combine elite guard amongst men.
report
That is awesome. How on Earth was it done?
report
taahaa :D That’s fricken funny! Predictable because of the topic of the post, but still hilarious.
report
Awesome :D
