Can it really have been so long? It seems so. Jim and John gather once more to discuss matters of gaming, philosophy, and quite how tired everyone is. We're all so tired. Enjoy John's croaky voice, Jim's pretty hair, and thoughts on shooters, Macs and the lack of gossiping murderer-based games.

So we casually chat about the events of the past, the games we've been playing, and our plans for a national RPS holiday.

Naturally this means we discuss local alcoholics, uses for Lara Croft's legs, and the magic of free things. There's Max Payne nonsense, our interest in the new Tomb Raider, and questions on whether Portal was designed to look like a Mac. Then John reveals his balanced, reasoned position on Mac users.

We consider Mass Effect 2, now Jim's playing it, which naturally takes us on to the nature of how philosophy is written. We wonder in which direction the FPS could head next. Then say goodbye to half our listeners.

Bob Came In Pieces DLC and the excellent new Sam & Max episode are spoken of. Then Jim outlines plans for more RPS community games. We wonder at how little corruption we perform, what our favourite fascist superheroes would be like, and why Tidying Up Games are the best of all games. And why Terry Wogan should be a voice actor in every game.

Jim and John gathered together aboard the RPS yacht to put right all that is wrong with everything that's ever happened in the universe. Eschewing tweets in <a href="http://media.libsyn.com/media/rps/38_The_RPS_Electronic_Wireless_Show.mp3">episode 38</a>, instead we spoke about the contents of our head, from Mass Effect 2 and dreams of a different BioShock, to DRM and the peculiarities of mining in MMOs.

Jim and John had stretched the elastic that joins them as far as it would reach, causing them to be flung back together, landing in front of a microphone. So a podcast was recorded. It's another Twitter-driven special, after last time's monster-stomach-set Twitter isolation. Discussed are matters of Neptune's Pride, procedural worlds, game pricing and gamepads.

Hullo. So I burped, and there was this podcast. It appears John and Jim were lucky enough to have been holding onto their recording equipment when I ate them. Kieron and Alec were off on some expedition through my duodenum at the time, so I understand. With the new year here they seem to have focused on reflecting on 2009, and looking forward to 2010. As well as their meandering.

Quinns and Kieron talk about the matters of the day, including Solium Infernum, Modern Warfare, Medal of Honor, how they'd do a sex in games sequence, drinking, Batman, books for gamers and the usual load of old nonsense. Hurrah!

NO YOUR EYES DO NOT DECEIVE YOU. The Rock Paper Shotgun Electronic Wireless Show returns, and in triumphant fashion. (If you understand "triumphant" to mean, "two men with coughs chatting for 45 minutes".) Led by the guiding hands of your tweeted remarks it's the only discussion of PC gaming you'll ever need! (Only as part of a PC gaming discussion controlled diet.)

While wandering the long, barren corridors of Valve HQ I stumbled upon Chet Faliszek and Erik Wolpaw, the two men who a few years ago made up the members of Old Man Murray. Bundling both of them into a big sack I carried them into a room packed with buzzing PCs and forced them to join in on a podcast to discuss the release of Left 4 Dead 2.
