Christmas – we’re (almost) calling it

christmas2

Screw you guys.

As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been pretty much going through the motions this week. Both Johnny and Steph are now on holiday until 2011, and “the internet” is posting news about passwords being stolen and the fact a game developer is developing a game. We’re pretty much done. We’re going to stop pretending we’re updating the site.

Or are we? We’re going to be posting a couple of big features between now and returning in the New Year. We can’t tell you when, or what they’re about, but you can probably work it out if you think for several seconds, or even less. No? Either way, you’re going to definitely want to see this stuff, so keep checking back.

Aside from that, we’re going to take a few weeks completely off. Anyone who knows me personally will know just how mental this year has been, and we all really do need to calm down. We’ll start updating properly again on January 3.

VG247 has seen superb growth in the past 12 months, and we’re going to be returning in the New Year stronger than ever. Again, we can’t thank our readers enough. We’re nothing without you. We’re everything with you. We’ll continue to build and continue to thrive. We will never relinquish our quest for the final word in games news. We can’t do it without you.

Have an amazing holiday. Play some games. Get pissed. Kiss your babies. Here’s to 2011.

@Syrok

Do they not sell condoms in your country?? And why are you sexual active with a can of spam?? Hey to each their own I say…at least you can’t get a can of spam pregnant…or can you??? Hmmmm, maybe I should have the wife add Spam to the good old shopping list.

Just kidding Syrok..LOL couldn’t resist..LOL

I am talking lunch meat Meta…I guess you find Lunch Meat Yucky..???
I made myself hungry..I haven’t had a liverwurst sandwich in years…Of course you have got to take off the white fat that goes around it..All I had was Thin Honey Ham though..Sigh…So Thin Honey Ham, Mustard, a Little BBQ sauce..MMMmmmm It was very VERY Good..

Does those Lunch Meats mean something else in other countries??? I am just a dumb American after all.

Luncheon meat is grim city along with Spam, isn’t it the same thing…? Though saying that spam fritters and beans is not be sneered at.

Anyway, where was I, oh yes…Happy Christmas vg247, another impressive year of fun and debauchery, oh and news as well. :)

I am completely jealous that you have all knocked off so early. Xmas eve off for me and that’s it…

Probably shouldn’t do this, but here’s some news posted in the news thread just in-case you don’t visit the forums.

From me: ‘New RESISTANCE 3 screenshots.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/5265425190/

It’s looking stunning!’

‘Mass Effect 2 has had a visual bump on PS3: http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/114/1140265p1.html

Has to be the first UE3 game to look better on Sony’s console.’

From Gekidami:
‘Killzone 3 splitscreen footage:
http://videos.videogameszone.de/v/QwDcvex8K2j/Killzone-3/HD-Video-zeigt-Splitscreen-Modus-im-Actionspiel/‘

Theres some new Killzone 3 footage along with some info on the move options in a video here:
http://playfront.de/killzone-3-sharp-shooter-interview-mit-spielszenen/

From M2Kx: Great, 4players.de says that deus ex 3 was delayed :’(
