Goodbye GAD 1, you've been good to me.

But with no more GAD1, then there will be no more of those cynical replies.

"Oh, another GAD for the pile" and all the like.

To be honest, I reckon there was a portion of the site that was jealous of me.

Not because of the way I write, but just because I won free games.

I reckon this even meant people didn't reply to the posts, they just turned their noses up, worried that their crappy piece on console wars would again get overlooked, because once more I had managed to amuse and entertain.

I'm also glad that I never had a hissy fit about not winning.

Never claimed that I deserved to win more.

Never let one win go by without saying thank you, and being trully grateful for Special Reserves kindness.

Will I still be here without GAD1?

Of course.

I haven't been here as much in recent months anyway, because of problems at work, but I still SR these forums as a good place to dump the contents of my brain. Give things a first airing, see how they're received.

Without SR I would have no ambitions of being a writer, and I probably wouldn't be playing games quite so regularly.

SR has been good to me, and there's no way I'd leave just because free games stopped on chat posts.

Hell, I've got the Henchman's Survival Guide part 3 to deliver yet!

So this is a big thank you to all that made the GAD competition so enjoyable, and a big screw you to all those that ever felt any hate towards me, just because I wrote something better than you did.

hell, maybe I'll even write a few reviews every now and then, I don't have that much spare cash to actually buy games! ;o)

Why is it your fault you can write at a higher standard than the good majority of people? You're more intelligent, yet you get it in the neck for being so.

Life is strange.

Some people like me, get jealous just because you are able to think up such original hilarious posts, which half the time win you a free game, and, seeing as I'[m lucky to get 3 games a year, I get jealous, this year has been good to me though, and Ninty are being evil with all their releases...
I'm babbling now.
Bah...baling....

You did TWO henchman guides?! How did I miss them?

Don't worry, I for one respected you for your writing ability, and I don't recall ever posting a snide comment in one of your GAD winning posts.

Now, Kyz and Quinty's...:-)
