"GAD lost it?"

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.

Notorious Biggles manages to review himself.

I was always disappointed that my review of the cathode ray light (green) never went on my stats. My Red Factin 2 review didn't hake it onto the staats either. Maybe that's why it didn't win. IT ALL BECOMES CLEAR

If you win GAD and aren’t a member, you are automatically given the membership (& free gift)... The 90 days claim time has nothing to do with it

You should be grateful that you are getting free games at all, you ungrateful lumps of lard!

You don't get much for free in this terrible, terrible world. Stop yer whinging.

My reviews don't even appear anymore.

SR have píssed me off with their waze of giving crap reviews GAD prizes and thius, I don't review for them. They are CRAP

I can never be bothered to write reviews most of the time, but from looking at winners I do think whoever sorts out GAD ought to look at them more closley. The Morrowind review Borat mentions is frankly crap - made up words, mis-spellings, stupid first paragraph etc. The Brute Force review gives the impression that Bungie worked on it, which they didn't - one person from the Halo team was sent to look at it when MS realised it was a bomber if nothing was done, and the game is in no way a 3rd person Halo. And don't even start on the numerous, thankfully none GAD winning reviews of games no one could conceivably have...

I buy most of my stuff from SR, its convenient to click 'confirm' rather than walk all the way to my car, put my driving glasses on, start the engine, put my seatbelt on, take the handbrake off, put it into first gear, drive to town, reverse the process, walk to game, yadda yadda yadda yadda.

of course, you don't get it instantly, but I'm not usually that desperate to get something

Yeah, Tony stated a while ago that you can't win, then get the membership.

I just extended mine by 2 years. Only £12, so I thought "Why not? Although Tony is evil and won't put a shop anywhere even remotely near the north, I still buy my consoles from SR" - X-Box and PS2. And soon a GameCube.

Well you're not meant to.

Snuggly was meant to check the dates on the memberships but he obviously let you through...

He has told people before that they can't do that.

AHA!
