[On bunking off due to a 'cold'] "I would try to explain to the child that Beowulf would not let a little cold slow him down. He would rise up and kill someone's monster even if he had a cold, a hangover and crabs. Then start to chant 'I am Beowulf' and run around his room whilst trying to kill the invisible monster that is the common cold. If you do this for long enough i am sure that he will just get up and go to school just to be far away from you because you have gone crazy. Then be waiting for him when he gets back from school sitting in the living room with lots of feathers around you and a couple of dead pigeons across the living room floor. Make sure you have plenty of fake blood around your mouth. Then when your step son walks through the door just start screaming 'This is Sparta!'"

Strange Powers
[On Fame] "...a good friend of mine was at the Edinburgh festival in the 90s, went to the premiere of Event Horizon and ended up sitting behind Laurence Fishburn. Mr Fishbun was accompanied by a 'young lady' and every time he did something cool or heroic on screen, he would gesture with a large cigar he was smoking throughout, nod and wink at the lady as if Event Horizon was some sort of documentary about things he had actually done."

[On Christmas] "I have the Parents coming down, and my stepson's dad too: so I have to swallow down the slightly emasculating feeling of having a bloke round that shagged my missus before me and think oh well, It's christmas, goodwill to all men an that... Luckily he's a gamer."

We proudly present Rodent's world famous bid to list the top 5 of everything in the world.

Rodentia

Breeding: Best year yet for new Rodent babies...
XBL: Finally coming into it's own as the next best thing to having your mates round for beers and gaming.

No more Next-Gen: All the machines we're going to get for a few years are here. Now the real fun can begin.

Caravans: One rodents tale of Arcades loved, lost and refound

The Rodents: Our forum regulars have turned into as good a bunch of mates as you could wish for. Hoorah.

January again? Already?

Well, we're stuffed. We've eaten five times our weight in mince pies, drunk more alcopops than can possibly be healthy and, frankly, we're beginning to regret it. We may even join a gym.

Actually, bollocks to that. The only sane response to an excess of excess over the Christmas period is to spend a couple of days sleeping it off and then get back out there and start again.

Yup. It's awards time again. On the 31st of January, we'll be decamping to a basement in London's 'glittering' West End, to celebrate what has, by any standards, been a fantastic year of videogaemes. Come along, it'll be fun.

To help get you in the mood for the night, Koworld presents our list of nominations for 2007 and we have the first batch of our Game of the Year nominations - there will be three more along shortly...

Elsewhere, we have the first installment of Puffle's lunatic quest to clear her backlog, Ely goes all handheld, Maibock introduces us to his own version of the naughty step and we go calendar mental for the bonus stages.

Look out for the next dose of the Original Spirit on 1st February, bring Alka Seltzer.
