Well, we're into the new Millennium and we're still here - no apocalypse, nuclear Armageddon or even major Millennium bug problems. Just goes to show what the doom merchants and prophets know.

Still, some of them are still at it, so for a cheerful start to the New Year, check out the Countdown to Armageddon site, which details just why we should still be worried. It's an interesting site, based on current situations and Biblical prophecy, even if you don't believe a word of it, with a chirpy look at plague, pestilence and the Book of Revelations.

However, the only person the Future Gamer team look to for knowledge of the future isn't Nostradamus, nor the scribes of the Bible: it's the imposing figure of cuddly, camp astrologer Russell Grant. How could a man who wears jumpers like his ever be wrong? At his astrology website you can find daily and weekly updates for your star sign, so you know where to look for true love, what day to skive off work and when to put the cat out.

The collective Future Gamer star sign says, "Socialising tonight will reap unexpected rewards." Seeing as we'll be down the local with the flatulent Kibblewhite, we think the rewards might not amount to much more than a shared bag of nuts, but still, best to be prepared and all that, so make sure you check out Future Gamer's guides to the future...
