Splash Damage loves tapirs

Friday 12-Dec-2008 1:53 PM FPS developers reveal fetish in Christmas poem

We've had our first Christmas cards from the great and the good of the games industry, and Splash Damage's is both a bit weird and shamelessly demanding of online coverage. Obviously we couldn't resist.

The cover is Scrooge cunningly redesigned as an, um, tapir, something which is only partially explained by the poem inside.

We're Splash Damage, developers
of Enemy Territ'ry
Multiplayer First Person Shooters
Played upon your PC
We're working now on something new
cross-platform, without peer
But right now all we want to do
Is spread some Christmas cheer.

Splash Damage loves the Tapirs
Unknown in Bethlehem
But post this on your website
And we'll give some dosh to them.
They dwell in Costa Rica
And to prove we're not all talk
We'll sponsor a research project
At SaveTapirs.org

Apparently by posting this we've made them give ��£50 to the Bard's Tapir Project, which sounds fair enough to us. That done, we'd like to hear some more about their new, Bethesda-published project. Which we'll refer to as Project Tapir from now on.
