I don't like whinging, it ain't my style, and it's not sour grapes, I wasn't robbed of a GAD myself by it.

But this review ain't GAD material to me. I mean, the first paragraph doesn't even make sense.

I just got morrowind so was intrigued to read other peoples views on it. As this got a GAD I was reassured it'd be a good review. Nope.

I'm kind of ashamed of whinging, and I apologise to the writer of that review, but to me it's just plain pants. I would be interested to know what aspect of the review the GAD staff thought made it great.

That's it, no more ranting from me today.

the only point it got across is that the guy has terrible grammar, can't spell, and likes the budweiser advert

No but if you have membership you put it in on the "edit yer details" page.

Exactly- it has humour. Most winning reviews contain humour, however poorly written they are.

Within a few months they will get rid of GAD altogether, SR will go bankrupt because nobody buys games in the summer much and the entire enterprise will implode.

The forums will be shut down as SR won't be able to afford the web hosting and we will never talk again.

Thats my theory.

I guess giving me a GAD for my Hulk review makes up for the lack of GAD on the 16th. BAh.
