Sanctum, the ludicrously pretty first-person tower defence game which we exposed to our critical bits just here, can be won right here, right now! Yes, a dozen lucky RPS-reading webnodes will be able to plug themselves into the game by emailing us the answer to this question: the word “sanctum” means holy site. What is your holy site, readers? You know, the one you would defend with towers. Tell us, and the most interesting answers, as judged by an RPS editor, will win Steam codes.
Usual rules apply. Closing date is midnight of 30th of August.
Holy website? RPS, of course.

you you… suck up!

I’d have certain convention centers declared holy ground. We do go to E3 et al. to worship our games, after all.

pff… the toilet is the holiest of places. It’s the throne where most innovation and most elemental fantastical ideas come to mind. People that have transcended in life as people that revolutionize life itself have pondered on their thoughts most probably in their comfort of their bathroom. You can read books in peace and be inspired, or try to find a solution to some stress situation that might come to mind. So to me the holiest of places is within my mind, and i tend to access that place in the comfort of my bathroom every single time i am there.

To shamelessly steal from David Thorne – if our bodies are temples, mine would be a heavily shelled iranian mosque. That’d be worthy of a few towers for defence I think?
report
That’d be the Costa Coffee round the corner. It might not be a very deep and meaningful holy site but by god I’d fight to the death for my morning latte extravaganza!
I think that’s dead spiritual.

I would defend Valve’s headquarters. The source of L4D, HL, Portal, and soon, DOTA2 – in addition to providing a digital home for the vast majority of my gaming catalog is worth defending with towers both physical and digital. Besides, you never know when those HL3 protesters will get violent. Additionally, Gabe and his company are the undisputed leaders in gaming ideas, and they have the time and resources to experiment with their expressly stated goal of providing gamers like me the best experience possible. They more often then not succeed exceedingly well.
As an educated gamer, I know I’m forced to choose between DRM schemes when buying my games. The features and sales Steam gives me are worth defending. They made “value added” DRM a joy.
PS: A tower that fired crowbars would be awesome.

Neotf,a mod for Team Fortress classic,had a Sentry firing Crowbars…

The coke vending machine round the corner I go to when I feel the need for coke and it’s 4 AM cause I’ve been playing Civilization too much.

@ Jim,
The link to the review does not work — it sends you to a nice picture instead.

I would defend PC Gamingfrom developers and (gaming-related) companies who disrespect and lie to their customers, and ignore their fanbase when it comes to basic thing(servers, offline mode, no always-on-drm).
P.S. Innovative devs would get some special protection while in the holy site of PC gaming :)
report
I pretty sure you can get arrested for exposing your critical bits.
report
Is that gun firing numbers?
report
I think the numbers are the enemy in this game. She’s firing at the numbers.

It’s like one of those old edutainment titles on the BBC Micros in school. You must defeat the alien menace using your prowess with basic arithmetic.
report
Well I would have to set up the towers around my Swiss cheese factory.
report
I would set up towers around my house.

This is an excellent game, with great support from the developers. I highly recommend it. And they have dropped the price down to $10, at that price just get it.
report
I would defend the
Vaultsecure bunker I built to protect myself in case of a nuclear holocaust.And if worse comes to worst, I’d fall back and make my last stand defending the Inner Harem (never build a nuclear shelter without one!).
report
Lane 3 of the M4.
report
My Minecraft server, of course.
