Winner Interview: 1subee

Topic: Members

Last month lucky Gamesviller 1subee of Pompano Beach, FL, took home a cool $1,000 in one of our GV Rewards sweepstakes.

What will she spend her BIG winnings on? Find out below...

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
I was actually playing Magic 21 when another player said congratulations to me on my win. It was two hours into my birthday so I was very excited to get an early birthday present!

What will you spend your winnings on?
I know this is going to sound boring, but most of my wins will probably go to bills. Also need a new radio for my car so I will buy that for myself too.

What do you do for a living?
I work in the legal field. Although the scheduling can be quite difficult it's actually quite exciting. I never know what to expect and every day is different.

If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be?
I would like to be a tiger. They are beautiful animals.

What is your most treasured possession and why?
A coin that my grandfather gave me one month before he passed away; it is very dear to me.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
My member name is a reflection of part of my name.

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
I'd like to see more advanced chat options (i.e. more smileys, etc.)

Thanks, 1subee - and congratulations again on your win!

Has bingo turned to the Dark Side? When Darth Bingo is at the Big Wheel who knows what number he'll use the force to stop at. One thing is for sure, this photo already has us at GV HQ envisioning James Earl Jones calling out bingo numbers with great style. (No offense, Dickie!)

Best Pets: Stephney1's geese Spazman and Shygirl

Topic: Best Pets
This week's Best Pets come to us from Gamesviller Stephney1 of Omaha, NE. Meet her happy geese, Spazman and Shygirl!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Stephney1 says, "I have had these two geese for a year now. In this photo Spazman is standing on my back, while Shygirl is trying to talk to me. Whenever I come home and yell "Mom!" they immediately squawk back. They don't like any of the other animals coming in or near their pen. When I let them out to run the yard and swim in the pool, they act like they own the place! I chase them down telling them I'm gonna get their butts, and they run for their pen."

In addition to your pet's picture, please be sure to include:
