Rock Paper Shotgun Launches
[I’ll do a proper post about this later. But, for now, here’s the press release. Add it to your RSS feeds already.]
Rock, Paper, Shotgun takes aim at PC Gaming.
Bath, UK, August 20th - Rock, Paper, Shotgun - a new PC gaming blog from some of the industry’s longest established journalists - announces that its metaphorical doors are metaphorically open to the very real public. The site is dedicated to bringing PC gaming news, interviews, articles and comment, and is written by four of Britain’s top games journalists. Between them they have over thirty-five years of professional games-writing experience. www.rockpapershotgun.com aims to cover everything from the latest breaking stories about the biggest games to esoterica from the format’s obscurest peninsulas, and its fresh and lively daily updates site will entertain while invigorating your PC gaming spirits.
Launching with an exclusive interview with Bioshock creator Ken Levine, the site begins as it will go on: bringing you content you won’t find anywhere else on the net, written by names you’ve trusted for years in the British gaming press. Along with award winning journalist Kieron Gillen is celebrated critic and worldwide roving reporter Jim Rossignol; former deputy editor of PC Format, tech expert and games-lover, Alec Meer; and long-term freelancer for multiple magazines and websites, John Walker. Their work has appeared in magazines, newspapers and websites including PC Gamer, Edge, Wired, The Guardian, The Times, Arena, Gamasutra, Eurogamer, The Escapist and pretty much everywhere else. You don’t get thirty-five years of combined experience by not doing any writing. In addition to the core staff, the blog also features guest spots from other respected industry commentators, to ensure it comprehensively embodies the ever-growing PC scene.
Press-release obligatory quote: “Wow, blimey, it’s very good indeed. And my wife agrees,” says a man who’s telling the truth and would never lie to anyone, least of all you.

Cutting and pasting in a rush is a terrible thing.

You probably don’t care a monkeys about people with IE6… but the right sidebar renders above the main page for me in that abortion of a brower. Fine in firefox.

Cavemen will be glad to hear the IE6 problem is now fixed. Or at least, it should be.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun? It’s eerily appropriate. I’d like to know the blog title ideas that didn’t make it, though.
