Gydion: Consider this a rematch Thespian*.
By all means, my good sir! :D
I'm in!

One year I kept forgetting it was my birthday at work.

They brought balloons to my desk, and I was just looking at everyone super confused asking "Why the **** did you bring me balloons?" Then later in the day everyone got called into the boardroom and I forgot again, walked in wondering whose birthday it was, and was shocked to find out the cake was for me! Yup, I sure felt like an idiot!

Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to all.

aJillSandwich: Sadly, it was not a poisonous spider. If it had been, I would have a much more interesting story! +1

TwoHandedSword: Now see, I would've gone for a radioactive spider, given the choice.
LOL, I didn't think of that, but that would have made for an even more interesting story! :)
I'm in!

Happy GOG-aversary!
Congratulations on your GOGaversary TwoHandedSword and thanks for the giveaway, I would also like to be selfishly in for Thespian* if allowed. ;)

As for the story here is a sad birthday one, I went abroad for my Masters in 2010 and there I made a lot of friends but I didn't announce to anyone when my birthday was and I am not on Facebook. So on my first birthday abroad I went pretty much alone to have dinner and catch a movie only my family called me and wished me a happy birthday. Well I still enjoyed my time alone as I am not really that social and don't like crowded parties but it still felt lonely celebrating my birthday all alone. :)

Look on the bright side: at least you got to be surprised. Twice!

stg83: As for the story here is a sad birthday one....
Whoa, that is a sad story. I've spent many a birthday on my own, especially as of late; but it's always been by choice rather than circumstance. Cheers.
Thanks for the giveaway, I'm in then :)

Hmm.. can't really think of a so grea story. A small niceone was, that on my 18th birthday I got some nice little garden party with friends. And the first song playing, as I turned on the radio, was "I'm Eighteen" from Alice Cooper. Was some real nice coincidence ;).

TwoHandedSword: While I joined the site back in the fall of 2011, I didn't actively get involved in the forums until (according to my records) one year ago today. So in honor of this epic milestone, here's a small giveaway:

One copy of Soulbringer (in case you missed it in last weekend's sale). To be in, just say so. For an extra chance at winning, provide your most offbeat birthday/anniversary story: either your craziest adventure, or your most meaningless milestone, or anything else that occurs to you.

So, to sum up: "I'm in!" = one entry.
"I'm in for X" = an entry (or extra chance) for person X.
"I'm in, and here's my story!" = an extra chance for you.

Contest ends this weekend; probably sometime on Saturday. If you see this thread fall to page two between now and then, I'd appreciate a bump.

Any other questions? No? Then bring it, GOGers. Muahahaha!
In. I really forget anniversaries unless its really weird ones like when I got my first game console and the like.

Speaking of FFVII..........I bought the PC version of the game on the Square Enix store a year and a half ago. Computer broke while back so i went to download it again.........wouldn't do it. Square just pointed me to where to download because I think they don't know any English, Digital River re activated the link for a few days as a 'one time courtesy'

Refuse to re buy the game. If I lose the downloader again I will just find it some other way or used or something, won't give Square Enix more money for it.......sad how they see the franchise as a cash cow and not much else these days.

Sorry, off topic rant over now
