Best Pet: Jan293's squeaky-clean birds Winston and Topaz

Topic: Best Pets
This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Jan293 of North Bay, Ontario. Meet her bathing beauties... Topaz and Winston!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Jan293 says, "These are our birds Winston and Topaz bathing in parsley and water.  It was Topaz's first time and he clearly enjoyed it. Topaz loves to throw and fetch his cat ball with the bell in it. He thinks he lives in his mirror and will come when you tap on it looking for him. They are both loved very much."

Topic: Spam Bag

Today we received a very inquisitive note all the way from the Republic of Congo...

How Ninja Are You?

Topic: Ninjas

Since the launch of Gamesville's first game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Ninja Rally, the team at Gamesville has been sizing things up in different ways. Most commonly we find ourselves asking the question "How would a Ninja handle this situation?" We go back and fourth every day on how Ninjas would handle everyday issues, all with differing opinions. Most importantly we want to know, once and for all, who would make the the most appropriate Ninja on our team?

 


I am 72% Ninja

How Ninja are you? Take the Ninja Quiz and find out!

So the question remains, who is the deadliest Ninja among us all and how Ninja are you? You can find out by taking the Ninja Quiz Personality Test and posting your results in the comments section here at the Gamesville Blog!

Still looking to put your Ninja skills to the test?

Are you a Ninja who posesses a clear mind and nimble fingers? Think you have what it takes to defeat an entire army of Zombie Ninjas? Put your keen Ninja skills to the ultimate test with our latest action puzzler, Ninja Rally, now available in the iTunes App Store!

Best Pet: Leenie0520's unusual pair Jack and Tiki

Topic: Best Pets
This week's Best Pets come to us from Gamesviller Leenie0520 of Elmira Heights, NY. Meet the unusual--and DOUBLE award-winning!--duo of Jack and Tiki

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Leenie0520 says, "How unusual for a cat and a bird to be such good friends! As you know birds and cats don't usually get along so well and as you can see they get along just fine. They play around together and sometimes they even take naps on top of Tiki's cage. They were honored by our local newspaper a few months ago as their 'Pet Of The Week' and have been best friends ever since Jack came to live with us!"

Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Send photos to: members@gamesville.com

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

  • Your Gamesville member name
  • Your pet's most distinguishing personality trait

Winner Interview: Princessmisty

Topic: Members

Last month lucky Gamesviller Princessmisty of Calumet, MI, hit the jackpot playing CatchUp CoverAll and took home $488!

How will she spend her winnings? Find out below...

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
I couldn't believe it. I had missed a couple of numbers during the game, when I finally entered them in and caught up it was a BINGO! My boyfriend called me just as I was hitting the Bingo button.

What will you spend your winnings on?
I'm going to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks, so hopefully my check will come before I leave! I'm sure it will be used to see a show or some other form of entertainment while on my trip.

What do you do for a living?
I'm a waitress and have been for a long time. I love meeting new people and my sharing knowledge of the area I live in. I really enjoy talking to people and hearing of where they are from. At times it can be a lot of hard work.

If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be?
Never really thought about it before, maybe a bird.  I think it would give you a different "view" of the world.

What is your most treasured possession and why?
A ring that was given to me by my mother.  She had it for a long time and then she passed it to me.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
My dog's name is Misty. She is spoiled rotten and when she is in a mood I call her my "Princess Misty".

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
I love bingo, but would love to see another card game.

Thanks, Princessmisty - and have fun in Vegas!
