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.

:D that’s great!
Ha. ^_^
Lovely. :golfclap:
Great work! =D made me smile
Haha, very good.
Still nothing beats “Five-o for violence”. But the animation quality of this is really good :-)
Hahaha, awesome
Made me chuckle :)
Ahahaha. Niiiiiice!
The setting looks like if they turned a Baldur’s Gate I background 3D. Also lol
:D
Nicely done :)
Oh, well-played, James. In every sense of the word. :D
Genius!
Huzzah!
I got a boner off this.
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)
Brilliant anamation
They don’t play “Rock, Paper, Shotgun”, but “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shotgun”. I saw the Scissors.
I also thought there were scissors : ) But brill video!
Haha fantastic stuff
I lold
Awesome. I lol’d.
Personally though I was hoping for a gmod flailing video starring the RPS dudes.
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
:D
So, is this getting released or what?
From now on, that is the introduction to all of your articles. From now on.
Not bad.
Quite good.
Yeah that’s it
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!)
Proof that Shotgun beats all. Hands down. Or rather, 12 gauge down. =D
Good stuff!
Most excellent.
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.
That was great that made my day. Vary well done to
Thats fantastic, especially the whole punching the air in a “damnit” fashion.
goooooooaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!!!!!
lqtm (laughing quietly to myself)
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.
Everyone knows it’s 1,2,3 and then go.
Brill, but I wish it was a classic pump shot rather then some sort of military looking semi-auto.
win!
@Phil: NO! I think?
Even more classic, the sawn-off shotgun. Bonus points if it’s from Sicily.
This is how most of my RPS games end up.
@Phil Where I’m from the draw is on the third beat.
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.
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
I’m faily sure there should be more than this one post under the tag ‘rps-self-indulgence.’
Reminds me of late night, drunken rock paper scissors games on the night bus here in Toronto.
Shotgun not involved.
Usually.
I was blown away when i saw that on youtube (its now up to #41 most viewed in the UK)
