Amid the madness of Gamescom, we somehow skipped the most important game of the year. Cheese Rolling is a multiplayer ragdoll game inspired by the ancient Gloucestershire, England pastime of racing a hunk of dairy down a hill.
The hill in question is Cooper's Hill at Brockworth, and the ceremony apparently dates back to at least 1826 - providing you trust the account of that year's Gloucester town crier - which makes the sport of cheese rolling at least 47 years older than Rock Paper Shotgun. The cheese in question is usually Double Gloucester - scandalously, they resorted to a foam replica in 2013 - and is given a strict one-second headstart.
