So this is Xmas...

So this is Xmas...

... and we're buggering off.

It's that time of year when one's thoughts turn to friends, family and wondering just how fat you're going to end up after the sheer gluttony of the Xmas/New Year period.

It's also a time when Atomic shuts down - Phoenix-like - only to return bigger, better and stronger in a couple of weeks' time.

So, to all our readers, of the site and the magazine alike - Merry Christmas. Justin Robinson, Dave West and myself wish you all the best of the season. May every stocking contain a Nehalem rig, may every present be actual final code for Duke Nukem Forever (hey, it's miracle season after all!).

We'll be returning on the 6th of January. Have a great and safe break, everyone
