This morning, Conker's Bar Fur Day arrived. It's a great game, well worth getting. I've played for five and a half hours so far, and my only gripe is that the camera angles are a bit limited - other, than that it's excellent. I currently have $800 (why didn't they change it to £ for the UK version? lasyness?) and I've just collected some cogs for some mean dude cog (yes, the clockwork mechanism type 'cog') and been told: "Thanks. Now f*** off". This game is hilarious!
Anyway, this isn't a review (God forbid I should ever write one of those!) but playing this just reminded me how generous this Gameaday thing really is. I claimed this back in early January, and I've only won once in five months, and though that's not great compared to some (most?) of you regulars, it's far more than I've ever won on any other form of competition. I suspect the same goes for most of you too (except FM, obviously). Despite this, complaints stil surface frequently, whether by somebody who hasn't won in x months, or by a newer contributor who has yet to win. Why? Should people really be expecting to win every now and then just because they try? The very fact that most people reading this mesage will have won at least once is a testament to just how generous this competition is. Perhaps (or indeed, blatantly) I only feel strongly enough about this to write about it because I'm in the europhic state of having just recieved a game, but for the moment at least, I'm not even jealous of Grix or Meka ;)
Thankyou Special Reserve!

"I do declare ladies, it's our chance to exact revenge on this mean old cog"
"not Mr.Big Cog?"
"Thats me l3uggered"
that probably explains why The Game or Gric haven't been on today, they're too busy cackling insanely
