UPDATE: That’s enough responses, thanks! Survey finished.
Hello there. Once a year (although not last year, for some reason) we must ask you to help us with knowing stuff about who reads RPS. Hence, the quite important survey. This vital data is fed into the vast computer which controls the internet and the monster is thus soothed, stopping it from rising up in a frenzy of electronic tentacles and destroying the Earth for another year. Also, it helps with our hard-working gentleman being able to secure advertising and therefore keep operating the site! For both these incredible reasons it is quite important that you fill out the survey here, please. It’s so important that I am asking you do it immediately, no matter how important whatever else you might be doing on the internet actually is. Doing so will also secure our love. And that’s what’s really important about PC gaming, isn’t it?
I thought so.
COMPLETED! I don’t know any puns tough.
report
That’s punacceptable, quite frankly.
report
You’re no pun.
report
I don’t think that’s quite inpuntant.
(now I should have to change my survey)
report
I suppose this was to be expected on Rock Paper Shotpun.
report
Shame apun you all.
report
I can’t believe you don;t know any puns, they’re apundant.
report
What an odd group of Pun-ters RPS has.
report
Ugh, who left these stale puns lying around; it’s become terribly pungent in here. I’ve a good mind to punish those responsible and give them a damn good thrashing.
report
Really, it’s apundantly clear that you lot are just in it for the laughs.
report
They ‘re just pundering to the audience.
(Great, now I need to change my survey too)
report
@Man Raised by Puffins NO, don’t punch me. You’ll make me punhappy!
report
Can’t think of any? What a pun-y imagination you have. Oh well, be it upun your own head. Don’t expect sympathy when the hivemind pun-ishes you though; none of us will care one wit.
report
@Man Raised by Puffins
I admit that until this morning I thought that “puffin” was a category of penguin.
Learn somepun new every day…..
report
So, in a way, you brought a knife to a punfight?
(I cannot think of a pun for ‘knife’… this makes me very punhappy)
EDIT: An now I even copied a pun, punintentionally. I am so punlucky…
report
Ah! Bad jokes with imPUNity. That’s really punthing.
report
Right off the first comment. At least you are all being punctual today.
report
Try some of this pun-galactic gargleblaster. It’s like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold quip.
report
“It really pisses me off that on nearly every comments thread the first page is taken up by infantile puns, people thinking their funny etc etc.” Go away.
report
I said yes in the survery but its been a while since i joined in with a pun thread, forgot how punny they could be.
report
You guys really are gluttons for punishment.
Apologies for trotting out such a weary old pun. Clearly my glory days are behind me. I’ll get my coat.
report
Most of my puns are completely punintentional.
report
You should start with the pundamentals to be honest.
report
I don’t know. Despite what the more poe-faced of the community might believe, I’m quite a pundit for these threads. Those punks should lighten up.
report
None of those were very punny.
report
Some people just don’t punderstand…
report
I’m largely punimpressed with the above attempts.
(and myself)
report
I’m feeling a strage compunction to reply.
report
I’ve pundered long and hard as to what I could reply with, but alas can think of nothing.
report
No pun intended…
report
One pun and all hell breaks loose. Utter pundemonium.
report
You disapoint me my puns
report
I know I’m a bit late to be trying to add to this, but I still couldn’t resist having a punt.
report
If you wish apun a star, you will find that these comments happun as a matter of course.
report
I, on the other hand, know many puns, for I am THE PUNGEON MASTER!
report
Some may call me harsh, buy you’ve taken it too far now you bunch of punts.
If that is too distasteful for some I have a second pun-in-waiting that you may have.
I have a feeling that this pun that has only just bepun…
report
Since I’m a linguist I’m required to appreciate any and all puns.
report
A plague upun all your houses!
report
I knew a bunch of neckbeards and pungeonmasters would respond to that.
report
RPS punters really are a punruly lot.
This poor guy says he doesn’t know any puns and you jump on him like a pack of puncivilized savages.
What’s wrong with you lot, you’ve surely left him punch drunk and punfused with your barrage of punnery.
You can’t just pun him to death with impunity.
You all need to puntificate on what you’ve pun.
report
It’s not very punctual, and now this is being punitive despite the fact I’ve made my survey outdated.
report
These jokes keep flying back and forth like some kind of pundulum.
report
Were you looking for anything punticular?
report
Penguins go like this: o< o< o o> o>
They may seem punsettling similar, but upun consideration, it’s the other way around.
report
Not to be punkind, but the OP must have known this was coming. Also, a pun thread about puns? Meta.
report
I took a random sampling of the puns in this thread to see how many would make me laugh. No pun in ten did.
report
I don’t understand these pun threads they are just boring. Clearly they are just a liberal conspiracy to wipe out good old fashioned crudity and hilarious demeaning insults. Next you’ll be making some rubbish joke about polar bears dissolving, which is ridculous when you seem so desperate to save them the rest of the time. What if little Timmy read one of these puns, it might turn him against the tremendous work of Jim Davidson, one of the UK’s finest comedy exports. Stop this disastorous trend now before it does some serious damage.

Pun off….. all of ye!
report
Ahh the joys of an opun forum.
report
Punbelievable.
report
Ugh, the wordplay here is so strained. It’s positively punful.
report
this thread is a punoramic view of everything that is right with rock paper shotpun.
report
It’s punlikely this’ll be the last thread of 2012 to be pundered by this sort of malarkey.
report
Come on, it’s only a bit of pun!
report
You’ve been punwned.
report
I don’t know why I keep reading these threads. Maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment.
Damnit, now my survey was a lie.
report
Ah‘ve got nowt good jokes, but ah know many bad puns.
report
I see the haters trying to start another punic war.

How many hours do I spend gaming? Per what? Day?
report
Weekly, I have edited it.
report
“6. How many hours do you spend gaming?”
All the hours!
report
I thought it was daily. This ranges listed were insufficient to account for one of my …episodes…on a weekly scale.
report
“How many hours of your life do you waste not playing games?”
report
Damn, I assumed it was daily and answered 16+ hours. :(((
report
Most of the hours I should spend studying. And many of the ones I should spend sleeping, also.
report
Had to be honest and say 0-5 hours playing. Hurts deep.
report
“6. How many hours do you spend gaming?” Per day, week, month?
report
Decade.
report
Its actually how many hours per hour.
report
It’s limited to 16, so I assume it’s per day?
report
Always a pleasure to help in any way, and I’m proud to say I contribute to pun threads. Go RPS!
report
“How many hours do you spend gaming?”
Well, I had to answer the maximum of 16+ seeing as I assumed this meant “per lifetime” effectively.
report
Was about to ask the same question about amount of time gaming. Will hold off until later to provide a factual response.
report
‘Do you recommend games to friends’ should probably specify real-life or internet ‘friends’.
And the purchase time question (pre-order/on-sale etc) could perhaps allow multiple selections?
report
real-life/internet/imaginary friends.

PS: “20. How much do you spend a year on upgrading your PC?” has no option for less than £100.
report
No option for people who don’t spend money upgrading their PC?
I thought PCs were like consoles only you could play flash games on them. I just buy a new one when the new games don’t work on it anymore. :P
seriously though, there should be a 0-100 option there, I haven’t had a desktop in a while and upgrading laptops scares me since I’m not familiar with the innards. :3
report
I was confused a bit by that one. Since I upgrade with a new computer every few years, don’t particularly upgrade my rigs. I just averaged it.
report
Indeed – I spend around £400 every five years or so.
report
I spent £70 on upgrading in 2011 and nothing the year before, and nothing the year before that, and nothing the year before that. Yet I am now officially logged as having spent at least £100. :-/
Only enthusiasts spend money every year on upgrades, and by enthusiast I don’t mean people who play games on their PCs a lot, I mean the tier of scary people above that who are always in a state of having just upgraded or looking at the next upgrade. And who don’t consider water cooling silly.
report
I haven’t upgraded since they stopped upgrading the Xbox 360. Except to get some fancy non-gaming related audio equipment in the PC.
report
Same here, I basically wait until the games I am playing all have to have the resolution and graphics turned down to start playing. THEN a big new release comes out with uber graphics, will push me to that 1500 dollar new PC.
By then everything has usually changed enough that there is no point to upgrading incrementally, about the only thing that gets saved sometimes are hard drives and dvd player.
report
Me too. Of course, I have an iMac which aren’t easily upgradeable. I am thinking of purchasing a new computer, though. A beastie with a bit more ‘oomph’. No hurry, though.
report
Agreed. I feel like the question having a floor of £100 annually feeds into the myth that you need to be constantly upgrading your computer to stay on top of things.
Last year I believe the only “upgrade” i performed on my PC was spending $40 on an XBox 360 controller (really good purchase, frankly), the prior year I spent around $100 on a new hard drive, which was as much for non-gaming reasons as gaming, the year before that I think I bought a nice widescreen monitor to watch movies on, and then it was the year before that when I spent $500-$600 upgrading my PC with a good videocard, processor, RAM, etc. That same PC plays all modern games at 1080p at mediumish settings with a decent framerate.
I thought last year would be the year when I would feel the need to finally upgrade, but everything still looks and runs fine for me. Yearly upgrade requirements are definitely a thing of the past, if they ever were true.
report
When it came to favourite genre, I ticked all of them, just because I could.
Also, no Turn-based strategy? Bah!
report
Where was the option for Real Time Tactics versus Real Time Strategy. Or maybe even Grand Strategy so as not to be so Pedantic.
I also wasn’t aware that Indie Games were a genre.
report
Yeah, no love for other forms of strategy, just RTS eh? What about an option for those of us who like strategy games without repetitive-stress injuries?
report
No wonder no-one thinks there’s a market for TBS if no-one ever asks.
report
That thing this guy said!
report
Yes! RPS hates strategy! RTS is the only one you can be bothered to include? pah! I’d like to add that I enjoy:
Turn based strategy
Turn based tactics
Turn based squad based tactics
Grand strategy
Empire management
Turn based space strategy
Space based tactics
Tactical space based 4x squad empire management
etc..
report
This question was very frustrating. My favourite genre is Strategy, but I really hate RTS games.
I had to put RPG.
report
Think yourselves lucky it wasn’t
* FPS (remake from RTS)
* FPS (remake from RPG)
* FPS (remake from driving)
* FPS (remake from puzzle)
* FPS (remake from adventure)
* WoW (Freemium)
* iPhone games
report
No option for thinly disguised spreadsheets either. Disappoint.
report
Wouldn’t Horace defend us against the monster? I always thought he liked eating humanity…
Anyway, did the survey. Hope that helps.
report
I have contributed and therefore have allowed the marketing side of RPS to better sell their ad space to potential advertisers!
report
“It’s so important that I am asking you do it immediately, no matter how important whatever else you might be doing on the internet actually is.”
It’s a shame that – at the time – I was driving Funnel’ through a Beta island with a full load of high end Corp minerals, and went right into a bunch of NPCs. You can’t blame me for that one, Jim.
report
I was writing an essay on Agamben’s critique of human rights. Unfortunately it’s supposed to be 5000 words, due in on Monday and I’ve not done half the reading yet. Distract me some more RPS!
report
I have a problem with the wording of “15. When buying a game, has DRM (Digital Rights Management) ever influenced your buying decision?”
No, but it has when not buying a game.
As it is, it makes it sound like it’s prepared for the possibility that there are people out there who will only buy a game if it has DRM. Which would be weird.
report
I think the wording is fine, if the presence of DRM has prevented you buying a game then it has influenced your buying decision: the decision in that case being a “no”.
report
But “if the presence of DRM has prevented you buying a game” then it is, by definition, not “when buying a game” as the question begins.
report
Wait, if we’re only including times when you actually bought the game then surely nothing can influence your buying decision because you’re always destined to buy it.
report
So to avoid pedantry it should start something like: “15. When considering buying a game…”. But you know what they mean you scallywags. :P
report
Why was each question repeated twice?
Why was each question repeated twice?
report
theres no impulse anymore jim, only gamestop
report
Bah, stupid changes in stuff.
report
i thoroughly agree with you on that, i mean gamestop? cmon, impulse is clearly a better name. sure GS bought it but atleast they keep the name and the logo.
report
Also, Desura was missing from that list.
report
So was Amazon.
report
The game is not over yet, Scottie. All power to the thrusters!
report
I answered to the best of my ability, although these strange foreign symbols next to the income/spending questions baffle me greatly.
report
I too where baffled, but overcame it by a mathematical equations, estimations and random clicking!
report
I have now procured your love, yey.
report
I’ve no clue what’s my household income, might you consider adding an option for that sometime?
Also, GreenManGaming might be a good addition to the digital distribution question.
report
I checked “Other” on that question because a good deal of my “purchased” games this year came from the Humble Bundles, so that would have been a good option too, I think. (or bundles in general)
report
Yes, Green Man would be good to add. I didn’t notice that Green Man was missing from that list. Also Desura, as I mentioned further down.
report
Another vote for adding Green Man Gaming to the list of digital content thingies. Pretty sure I bought Magicka from there!
report
And thus we appease the monster!
Now, where’s that complementary gnome for punting?
report
Yea, cool, catch me right as I got laid off my job last month. Now I had to check “unemployed.” You… damned… British… people… things.

Done! now lets see some of that loving *dims lights*

“Now you can create your own surveys for FREE”
My life now has meaning.
report
I completed the survey and I think I won something:
“Now you can create your own surveys for FREE.”
In your face, my non-survey friends.
report
Reply fail.
report
Given the number of daily reply fails it’s unlikely that they’ll get anything of statistical value out of this survey!
report
Another question:
Should we fix our somewhat crap reply system?
Yes [ ]
Hell Yes [ ]
report
I think the option to quote other posts, which automatically sticks that post in blockquote tags and sets the comment to reply to that thread would be good.
I’m sure the majority of my reply fails have been copying and pasting someone else’s post for quoting purposes, and forgetting that that’s not actually enough to make it register as a reply.
report
For the question “Which Digital Distribution services do you use to buy games?” perhaps you should have included Amazon? Just a thought for next year.
report
There’s a whole world outside the US*, and Amazon don’t supply digital downloads to it.
*Well, technically only about 97% of one, but…
report
Done and done.
I wonder, will you post some sort of summary of the results? Or perhaps some reflections on your readership?

I did it but I didn’t like it.

Perhaps they’re more interested in social identity than physiology? The options would need tweaking of course, and should include the option of a text field (whatever happened to Disapora anyway?).
report
@RaveTurned: possibly, but as you say, the current answer options don’t support that. It would be much more complicated to measure that for RPS readers. “I’m 80% masculine and 20% feminine, except on Fridays.”
report
Haha I was totally going to post this complaint, but I think I used up my gender / sex outrage quota on the great Bioshock Infinite boob fiasco of 2011.
report
@molten_tofu: I am happy to pick up the stick for you, sir, most happy, until your quota is refreshed. I also think that tofu and tempeh are wonderful inventions and will have some later on this evening with my pipe.

But sex is too titillating! …Am I allowed to use that word?

@Lamb Chop: We will have people standing by with smelling salts.

Where the emplyment option for retired? :smugness:

That would be “Unemployed.” ;)

That really doesn’t cover it, he needs an option for “unemployed and old.”

report
I never did ask: Is is the Paper, or the Rock, that beats Shotgun? Just wanted to clarify.
report
Shotgun beats everything, surely.
report
Sort of…blows away…game balance, then, doesn’t it? Or can you only unlock Shotgun at higher levels, maybe? Hopefully its not a pay-for addon.
report
Rock beats Shotgun but only if you’re in Stealth and your opponent is unaware.
report
So it’s assumed you get ammo for the shotgun?
report
Shotgun beats everything, but has a 30-minute cooldown.
report
You could potentially leave your rock in the barrel of the shotgun the night before. In any case, shotguns don’t do much damage to rocks unless they’re limestone or something.
report
So if Keiron is sneaking up on Adam and John, Keiron should pick Rock? I think I get it now.
report
Couldn’t you break the shotgun by jamming the rocks in the barrel?
report
Paper Covers Rock, so Shotgun Must blast through paper, which only leaves Rock to dent barrel in Shotgun.
Doy.
report
You only get the shotgun if you pre-order.
report
√ No Problem

While I was filling in your oh so important survey I neglected to press the button preventing the big nuclear reactor over there for going into meltdown. I can only conclude that the RPS hivemind are Bond style villains and that somewhere Alec is stroking a Persian cat whilst laughing manically.
report
Comment of the day. Can we vote on that? Does it even exist? If so, and we can, this has my vote for that.
report
You might wish to add Desura to the list of digital distributors at some point. I haven’t purchased anything from them yet, but I could see it happening in the next year…
report
All done, now where’s my RPS biro then?
report
23. If you watch films at home, do you watch?
Doesn’t include a “Broadcast VOD” option (like Virgin Media’s Filmflex / Movies On Demand)
Presume “Download” technically includes Sky Push VOD / iPlayer / OTT Streaming?

I counted ‘download’ for netflix, hulu, and every other streaming service that replaces a tv for those of us who only want to pay for one really big monitor.

Sure we’re in the minority but is there no love for a Mac user running Windows in Bootcamp other than “Other” for what kind of PC do you own?
report
Apparently so. But why you’d want to distinguish ‘mac users who use bootcamp’ and ‘mac users who don’t use bootcamp’ is beyond me.
report
i done it!
report
The survey assumes that everyone buys digital already. I will, as soon as I can purchase steam coupons in real stores. itunes does it, a shame that itunes is total crap and I will never buy apple products.
I refuse to put my account/credit card info in too many places of cyberspace. Maybe my bank offers paypal service…gotta check it out.
RPS all the best for 2012. Coffee, cigarette and RPS in the morning, that is how I like to start my day. Cheers folks and thank you for your fantastic work. Rock on.

I spy with my little eye a reference to Monty Python’s Flying Circus and the poor “It’s” guy. Amirite?

I love answering questions!
Also, I wonder if results will be made public.
report
You don’t care about our physical location? I think it could be an interesting factor, considering, for instance, how many digital distribution sites have huge issues in terms of region locking.
For instance, I buy mainly from Steam and Gamersgate not just because I prefer to, but mainly because they’re the less problematic in that regard. D2D is a *very* distant third, and all the others range from “ridiculously minute catalogue” (Impulse) to “downright non-existant” (OnLive, GWFL).

Where’s the question asking if Alec, Jim and John are rubbish because they never come to the Social Club? :P

Shame upun you all :)

The discrimination against PSP and PS Vita is most appaling really. I’m sure the 4 or 5 people who own either (hello!) of these felt very much wounded.
… Not that I’ve actually taken the device out of its drawer for the past two years or so, just thought I’d point it out.
report
I was thinking the same. I have a PC and a PSP but nothing else from that list. I wondered if the PSP is really dead, if it is not worth including in that list :(
report
The only missing option for me was on the “How do you watch movies at home” question. I very rarely watch DVDs and download, never watch Blu-Rays, but I still watch movies almost every night. I never run out of things to watch because with digital tv there are just an endless number of interesting movies, if you’re willing to look for them.
I suppose that’s not really interesting for advertising purposes though (which is what I guess that question is relevant for).
report
I only watch streaming (netflix or amazon VOD), but I took that as “download”.. Not sure that’s correct though?
report
You should have had “stay at home dad” as an employment option. I don’t like to think of myself as unemployed!

WHY NO ATARI OPTION ON QUESTION 5? OUTRAGE! What happens when someone wants to advertise “Modern Bowling: Black Light Wednesday Glow Bowling Special Edition”? WHAT THEN?
Anyways, are you fine gentlemen going to release the results? Speaking of question 5, I’m super curious about what percentage of people chose “None of the above”.

“14. When buying a game, has RPS ever influenced your buying decision?”
I think this needs more options than “yes” and “no”.
“yes”
“no”
“hell yes”
“Most certainly”

“I read RPS and then do the opposite of what they recommend, because I’m a knob”

I wanted to help filling that…
This is the perfect spot for my first comment. I love the idea of being a dirty liar and the ethical issues that arose in my mind when I misguide someone by any means, but RPS deserved more than that for the joyful time i spent daily in the website.
So…
I answered “NO” about having commented in RPS threads. ¡HA! ¡I’M COMMENTING NOW!
report
I love you guys, never change. That is alI.
report
Since there wasn’t a comment box: Are you planning on including alternative payment options for subscribing/donations? It’s just that I’m considering closing down my PayPal account and RPS is currently one of the few reasons not to.

Tortoise? What’s that?
report
It would be extremely embarrassing if the survey results come in and it’s actually only about five of us who do all the punning.
report
“How many games do you purchase in a year” tops out at only “21 or more”. If only. I’m sure the advertisers would be interested in knowing that some of us buy more than 50 or even 100, given the digital sales these days.
report
My english is too shitty for me to participate in pun threads :-(
report
As a native english-speaker I can assure you that the pun threads are superfaecally anusing but are genitally shit.

Anyone else unable to remember how they came across RPS?
I think it may have been linked on Slashdot, back when I cared about Slashdot.

I liked the oldie-gamey reviews in PCG magazine (they made me chuckle) and wondered why John Walker wasn’t used more within the magazine, then I found out that my fave PCG magazine writers had mostly come here. That was about September 2010, I think.
report
FYI: I fully expect to see a news post at some point in the future with a demographic breakdown of who contributes to pun threads on RPS.

Any chance we can peek at the questions now?
report
uhhh survey closed? oh well maybe next time. guess all the impuntant people already filled it out huh…
report
I expected more silly questions.
I guess that’s actually a needed paperwork, not just a funny interactive metagame made in the middle of the afternoon.
Speaking of surveys and ads, can we know if displaying the ads is already giving molecular amount of dosh, or if we need to actually click the thing, or it’s some kind of super-secret information hidden in a chest at the bottom of RPS castle ?

PS/
-More game diaries.
-Less Hardware news.
-Less posts saying “i haven’t tried it but i read about it somewhere”
-More posts saying “i’ve tried it and you should/shouldn’t”
-Fix the spam/comments thing
-Auto-schedule a few posts for sunday for those of us who need something to read that day.
-A news feed for proper posts/articles/important news and without all the “re-reporting news from other sites” would be good. IE: a long-form only feed.
-Try to get rid of some of the twitter/reddit/whatever buttons of the front page and put them only on the actual posts.

Hmm, just saw this post. Is this the first time I’m dissapointed I couldn’t answer a survey? Why yes, I think it is.
