"I paced up the garden path behind Ross with my palms sweating. He opened the door, looked both ways down the street and beckoned me inside. He explained that he needed to feed the cat first, but said that I could go upstairs and look at the N64 for a while. No touching, though.”

Meeeeeeeeeeeeerry Eczmass!

And so, here we are – that extra-special time of year when we suddenly develop a compulsive taste for sickly biscuit assortments and drink old-lady drinks like port before lunchtime and that.

Christmas, as we’re always told, is a time of peace on Earth and “goodwill to all men”. Well, we feel that us men have had plenty of goodwill with our ‘videogames’, this year. So, a big chunk of this issue is being turned over to our good Rodent Laydeez, for two very important reasons…

1. To get a uniquely female perspective on exactly what it’s like to live with a man who loves videogames.
2. It proves that we have all got girlfriends.

Thank you, thank you – from the very pit of our aimless souls – for all your support, this year (click-throughs, page-reading, contributions…). We have loads of great plans for next year – including a way to make all of this funny, somehow.

Have a sozzled Christmas and a raucous New Year.

Kiss this…

On, then. On with this year’s final flob of original videogaming (Christmas) spirit
