Seriously. I have had new emailstodayfrom PRs. What are you doing? Genuine question. But yes, Rock Paper Shotgun is closing up the treehouse for our Christmas break. It’s far too cold to sit in a treehouse at this time of year! But owing to a miscalculaton, our bosses think it’s plenty warm enough in January, so we’ll be back on Tuesday the 2nd of Jan, 2024, at which time I will continually write the wrong year on things for at least three months. I hope that, whatever you’re celebrating this season, you have a lovely few days off, as I imagine most of you will. In the meantime, we will not leave you completely bereft! Because we love you, we’ve got some hashtag content scheduled for you while we’re gone.
If you were unhappy with the Advent Calendar this year then, well, ya boo sucks, but we’re once again providing a clutch of extra options with ourRPS Selection Boxes, where everyone on staff picks games that they wanted to recommend but felt were cheated out of a place on the calendar or that otherwise didn’t quite make the cut. I persist in calling these hon. menchies, and you can’t stop me. There’s at least one Selection Box every day from the 26th.
Similarly, we have a fewRPS Year In Reviewroundups to stop you becoming unmoored in time. Hi-Fi rush was this year, can you imagine? Well you don’t need to: Ed has listed off all the Bestest Best reviews we gave out this year, we’ve got a best features selection, and (the one I always find most interesting) the guides gang have looked at what defined 2023 from a guides perspective.
Another of my favourite things is that we put a bunch ofSupporter-funded postslive for everyone, which will show up in theLatest feedas they unlock, but you can also check theFrom The Archivetag to see them and a load of other Supporter posts that everyone can read.
Last and definitely least, of course, we have our annualChristmas Crackers, and some of the jokes this year are, just, I can’t even tell you. Just awful. We outdid ourselves. I was embarassed while scheduling them. There’s one every day of the break, so you have that to look forward to. It’ll put things in perspective. There’s a sort ofStar Trekone that - no, I won’t spoil it.
