Over the the past year, we've been showing a message to those of you who use an ad blocker. This message basically says, "Hey, could you not?". It then offers a few options: whitelist RPS in your ad blocker, become an RPS supporter to get access to an official ad-free version of the site, or ignore the message and continue reading the site anyway.

Meet Alice Liguori, RPS’s third video person (and third Alice)
Our video team has finally evolved into its final form! Alice Liguori is joining Noa and Matthew in making videos about PC games on our YouTube channel. Please join us in saying hello to Alice in the comments below.
We've just added another game to the RPS Supporter Program. If you're already a supporter (or if you sign up now), you'll get access to a key for Faeria, the collectible card game that Brendan's review says is "more interesting" than vanilla Hearthstone and "many times more thoughtful than Duelyst." Read on for more details.

The RPS Supporter Program has grown up. As of last week, signing up for a six or twelve month stint as one of our favourite readers gets you an officially ads-free version of the website alongside extra articles and free stuff. You can read more and sign up over here, but this article is specifically about the free stuff you'll get. Things like: 5 free…
Hello! Why yes, something has changed - thank you for noticing. We're so excited to finally show you our new-look website. RPS's design hasn't changed much over the past five years, and in the five years before that it never received much more than an occasional nip and tuck. The result was a website design that we loved like an old friend, but which didn't…
Since its inception Rock Paper Shotgun has run on Wordpress, a blogging platform built upon the very best web technologies available in 2003. That could soon change with your help. Gamer Network - the corporate overlords that own us, Eurogamer, VG247 and more - are looking for backend web developers to help unify the sites onto a single new platform. If that sounds interesting to…
The final member of our troika of new hires is revealed: it's Alice Bell, our new deputy editor! The RPS hivemind is restored - and the long national nightmare of me having no one to delegate to is over.
Last year, we identified three core areas we want to do more of at RPS: hardware, video, and guides. We'd dabbled in all three previously but hadn't had the chance to fully commit. Last November we hired our hardware editor, over the past six weeks we've hired two video producers, and now we have our first guides writer: please join me in welcoming Dave Irwin…
RPS is expanding so much that we're introducing three new people this week. Here's the first: Noa Smith is joining RPS to further bolster our YouTube channel. Please join us in welcoming Noa to the team.
A couple of years ago, RPS dipped its toes into YouTube. We asked some of our friends to produce short series for us, and the results were good. It made us realise that what we do could work in video, but also that we'd need a full-time team to do it properly. Now we've hired the first part of that team. Please welcome Matthew Castle…
I can't believe it's been a month already since we announced Adam's impending departure, but the day has come. Today is Adam's last day at RPS.
Adam is leaving us. He's scaling the fence, clipping the barbed wire, and diving into a new job in game development. Please join me in saying congratulations to him!

Gamer Network, the company which owns Rock, Paper, Shotgun, has been acquired by ReedPop. ReedPop run pop culture events such as New York Comic Con, MCM Comic Con, and many more. What does this mean for Rock, Paper, Shotgun? Even less than it did when Gamer Network acquired RPS last year.
The hivemind grows stronger! After years of wishing we could expand our hardware coverage, we've finally found the perfect person to help us do it. Katharine Byrne joins us with years of experience and has already set about writing guides, reviews, and educating the RPS team about what all the bits of plastic inside their computer boxes do. Come and share your best welcomes in…
Sound the trumpets! The RPS hivemind has been restored once more. After an exhaustive search (we emailed him), we've hired Matt Cox as our newest staff writer. Please join us in the comments to throw your best hellos at his feet.
As eagle-eared listeners to the RPS podcast might have already noticed: Pip is leaving us. She's off to join the cheeky RPS fanzine as their deputy editor. We're sad to see her go, but also couldn't be happier for her. Come, let's sing our farewells.
A quick look at our traffic tells me that Germany is currently Rock, Paper, Shotgun's third largest audience. That's a lot of people, and if you're one of them, we've made something for you. It's rockpapershotgun.de! A new site that both translates our articles into German and produces new original work just for German readers.
Update: We're aware that some users are having trouble logging in and retrieving their old passwords. We're working on it now and hope to have the 'forgotten password' emails working for everyone shortly. Thanks for the feedback so far! We've already made a bunch of changes to layout and categories as a result, so keep it coming. The new forum is live! Check it out…
The RPS forum is getting an upgrade. Tomorrow we're going to switch it over to a new server and we're also using the opportunity to change the software it runs on. This requires the forum to be taken offline for a day, but fear not: all old posts and threads shall be loaded into trucks and driven to the new home.
RPS has switched off its out-of-office message, which in reality means the team have left the office and are now on planes and trains heading back to the homes we all work from. Did the team ride the teacups on the pier and sick up all our donuts on Brendan? You'll never find out, because we archived all your emails asking about it without reading…
