Congratulations to Mike D., our May MVO! Mike has a big heart and loves hanging out in the GSN chat room. He enjoys collecting Oodlectibles, and has also won a number of other prizes. We're happy he's part of the GSN family too!

Hey GSN folks!

I'm MikeTheBear, and apparently I'm your Very Important Oodler for the month of May, 2012. MomTheBear and DadTheBear will be so proud, and so will my brothers and sisters, JanTheBear, DaveTheBear, JillTheBear and RichieTheBear.

I've been a fan of GSN since it was first offered by my cable company back in Ohio in the late 1990's. I LOOOOOOVE game shows. I heard about the GSN Chat Room when I started watching the Live Saturday Night shows. After a couple of weeks, I was a regular in the Chat Room. I was an on-air contestant twice, and a winner once on GSN Radio. But I was already a winner because of the friends I made through GSN.

I can't give very many hints for playing the games offered by GSN to earn Oodles. I do urge you to play all the Weekend Warriors games, Games of the Day and Days of the Week, Staff Pick games, and all the other special games that offer lots of chances to earn Oodles. I've found that by playing these games, I develop new favorites. I like the slot and card games, and I wouldn't have known if I hadn't played them first to win Oodles.

Make sure you sign in every day so you can earn a good supply of tokens to pay for these games. It helps you avoid paying with cash or Oodles. And those Oodles do add up and can get you some nice prizes. I just recently gotten a retro record player/radio/CD player/iPod dock. I've gotten other prizes too, including games, bathroom and kitchen scales, and all sorts of Oodlectibles. Some friends have teased me for getting all those different Oodlectibles, but I like them and it's nice to have a collection that doesn't clutter up my house and encourage me to become a hoarder.
