"What was it like winning your first GAD?"

I have just won my first GAD.
It's only up to the value of £25 but still, that's fair enough. when i found out this morning, i was as chuffed as can be. So, what was it like winning your first GAD, and what did you claim?

I might have been here even without the Gameaday competition. Maybe not but I might have.....

I would. I browse a lot of other forums and SR giving away games is just a delightful bonus. Not to dump on their name, but its more Newbies than anyone else that come here purely for the prizes.

First GAD

Dunno.

Don't care.

I know i came here because i seen the competiton, but if they stopped it i dont think i would leave.

Its a real nice feeling, makes you glad about the effort you put into your contribution, feels worthwhile.

You know you could have used a title that was filled with innuendo.

Heh. I jump up and down shouting "YES!!!" whenever I win a GAD. Be grateful Joe - I don't know of any other site that gives away three games a day. £25 is a damn good ammount of money to win a game for (if that made any sense!). Just be grateful mate.

I jumped in the air.

Literally.
