Another year, another pair of worn out shoes

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin ran away.

Nothing says Christmas like 'ZOMGASL!!!!111 Steam sucks the big one, Alyx is hot and Doom 3's flashlight is gaymos'.

Here at Atomic, we would like to extend these very sentiments to you, your loved one, the girl next door and our dear American cousins.

Christmas is a time of consumption, regret and fading memories of moments of unexpected glory. Let us join together, then, and spread the loving. We would like you all, now, to turn to the person on your left and do the badgerbadgerbadger dance.

Arms up! And squat. Repeat 2,000 times.

Looking into 2005, the magic 8-ball predicts acceleration in the demise of PC gaming, a revolution in hand-held gaming and a few hundred more pics of an underage Romanian hottie on www.johnromero.com.

For everything, we are grateful. For you, we wish continued happiness.

Happy new year everyone, with love from Atomic.
