Not in but happy birthday to you and yours and thanks for the giveaway.

Happy birthday!
My favorite song is probably Octopus' Garden by the Beatles, but I have something more interesting for you: A fun fact that your dog might enjoy!
The name "Sgt. Pupper" reminded me of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club album. Interestingly enough, somewhere in the song "A Day In the Life" about 5 minutes in, there's a high-pitched whistle only audible to dogs. It was inserted by Paul McCartney both as a source of enjoyment for his pet sheepdog and as a reference to the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds album.

Happy birthday in advance to you 3 ! Recently I have rediscovered this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFsHSHE-iJQ and liked it a lot, it even has "Happy Birthday" inside, but it's not a birthday song.

Best wishes for a happy birthday to all three of you! :)

In a nutshell; for some time now i've been playing the Blackwell series and in between i spend some time in Grand Prix Legends too and regarding music, while i listen to a variety of records in a weekly basis, lately i've been listening to Atheist & Nile every day. You can never have too much Atheist. Or Nile. :)

Two of my favourite songs from the aforementioned bands. & [url=https://youtu.be/pLTwEUAKY2Y?t=460]Sarcophagus. Cheers!

edit: forgot to note that i'm NOT IN!

Open this in 13 days.

Recently I started playing Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne campaign in Hard difficulty because I haven't covered that before (it's been 8 years since I played W3:TFT previously). I'm excited about the movie coming out this summer and that had influenced the idea to install this game and start cursing (more) regularly since my reflexes are not what they used to be and Hard really is Hard. :)

I'm in and thanks for the giveaway!

Happy Birthdays!

I've been listening to an Oasis song I amazingly hadn't heard until recently. Bonehead's Bank Holiday.

Not in for the moment, but I might change if more people don't enter!

Happy Birthday.

I've been listing to Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson quite a bit recently

I'm in.

Glad you like it mate! I snaffled all their stuff up from Bandcamp. I actually had Climax from a game bundle, which is how I got turned on to them. Really enjoying their work.

Happy triple birthday!
Thanks for the GA.
Not in, probably

Happy (upcoming) Birthdays to you all! I'm in, thanks for the generous giveaway :)!

I love baking, I normally bake at least once per week if not twice. I have a lot of favourite dessert recipes! What do you like? Cookies? Cakes? Pies? Squares? Muffins? Brownies? Scones? Cheesecakes? I've got them all, I'd be happy to share. Here is the one I made yesterday:

Quay Lime Pie

Filling:
3 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lime juice (roughly 3 limes) *Yes I use ordinary limes, not quay limes, so sue me :P!

Meringue:
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional)
2 tbsp white sugar

Method:
1) Prepare a fully-baked pie shell, set aside to cool. (*you can either make one by hand, or use a store bought one. I prefer home-made, it’s not hard to do but it does require some experience. If anyone wants my pie shell recipe, just ask :)!
2) beat meringue ingredients together in a medium bowl until stiff but not dry and holds peaks (2-3 minutes)
3) in a separate large bowl, beat egg yolks
4) add condensed milk to egg yolks, and beat
5) add lime juice, and beat
6) pour filling into fully-baked pie shell
7) spread meringue on top of pie, touching/covering the crust around the edges.
8) bake 350F 15 minutes, until meringue is golden brown.

And while I’m at it, here is my favourite birthday cake. It’s kind of a family tradition, my Mum made this cake a lot when I was a child, and I still make it (birthdays or not). It's actually a vegan recipe (if you don't use the suggested icing), but don't let that throw you off, it's really a very good cake!!

3 Hole Cake

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda

6 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup water

Method:
1) mix baking soda, sugar, and cocoa powder together in a large bowl to break up lumps.
2) add all remaining ingredients and mix vigorously, then pour into 9-inch square cake tin.
3) bake 375F 30-35 minutes until done, allow to cool to room temperature.
4) top with butter icing (below)

*Note: This is called “3 hole cake” because the traditional method of making it (and how my Mum used to do it) is to first mix all the dry ingredients together directly in the cake pan. Then make three holes/depressions (one large, two small), add the liquid ingredients, and mix. Saves washing up a bowl!

**Note 2: This cake actually tastes better after it’s aged for a day or two, I normally bake it the day before I want to eat it.

Butter Icing

Ingredients
2 tbsp butter (room temperature)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup icing sugar
1 - 2 tsp milk

Method:
1) mix together butter and vanilla in a medium bowl
2) blend in icing sugar
3) add milk slowly, mixing as you go, until icing becomes the correct consistency
4) spread icing on cake!
5) (Optional) For an extra-special birthday addition, top cake with chopped marshmallows and drizzle with melted chocolate!

Not in for the giveaway.

Just want to wish you, your wife, and your pup a happy birthday. Also want to share what I believe is the best Chocolate cake recipe I've had. The recipe is in the link below.

Congratulations on leveling up!

I've been playing Tales of Maj'Eyal a lot lately. Once it grips me, it just doesn't want to let go - my little time tracker says 88 hours now. I beat it recently, so I didn't want to jump in immediately with another character (and my parallel character met its demise prematurely), which lead me to trying to beat the Arena. Got to wave 43, then died to a boss. Dammit. Currently trying to see how deep I can go in the Infinite Dungeon. I have a long way to go till level 39 :)

Thanks so much for all the entries (and birthday wishes) thus far! Just to share a little something I'm really enjoying lately, here's one of my current favorite songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7O0rBGSqjI

Admittedly, I can't say I'm as excited about the new Animal Collective as I'd hoped I'd be. It's not a bad album, but I'm just used to their albums having such a dynamic range... it's almost like the new album just never slows down, never relaxes a bit. Makes it hard for any individual songs to stand out, and just seems like such a departure from the stuff I fell in love with. Still, I'm loving this song and a couple others from the new album. :)

I'm too new here to know you akhliber, but you seem like a lovely guy, so let's hope you have a smashing birthday on the 28th. Best wishes from a sunnier hemisphere.

Don't count me in, I've dug myself into a pit full of cheap games as it is :j

+1 I never really get tired of listening to Reznor's first three albums.
