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)
Erm, yeah.
You cheat.
Um, any other examples?
*think*
You...
You...
As for me, I'm just happy I've won as many as I have, I'm not bothered if people win more than me.
I always read your posts Meka Dragon, because they're usually clever and concise, but sometimes it's difficult to reply without just saying "Good post" or "Nice one" - which is a bit weak, and I tire of doing it.
It doesn't bother me that Gameadays 1&3 are going - I never expect to win anyway. I just hope I can write stuff that strangers like. These forums are a good place to test that, as well as being full of other entertaining and inspiring ideas, stories, etc.
And im not brown nosing before anyone comments.
