It was my birthday on Monday 24 but I've never been great at remembering dates. Better late than never anyway, am I right?

Ok, actually I've never been great at managing my time and I've been quite busy lately. Games in my library are collecting dust and yet, I can't help but keep buying more games. Too bad I found out about Steam just when I wasn't a teen anymore, had soo much time back then...

Alright, let's start celebrating with two giveaways for contributors:

Dishonored ENDED

TES IV: Oblivion GOTY Deluxe ENDED

Here's one for shy contributors:

Rochard ENDED

And some No-CV giveaways for all the forum people:

Rochard: Hard Times (DLC)

Space Pirates And Zombies ENDED

Oh, and there's a puzzle giveaway too!

I also just remembered that I have some coupons I got from badge crafting, if anyone is interested just post here and I will add you on Steam. They all expire between July 5th and July 8th.

-50% on Omerta - City of Gangsters

-50% on No Time to Explain

-50% on Strike Suit Infinity [Taken]

-50% on System Shock 2

-25% on The Walking Dead

Well, that's all for now.
See you space cowboys...


NOT-A-GREAT PUZZLE SOLUTION

The comma on the 12th line (the one where I said there was a puzzle too) linked to this pastebin where you could find this Binary code:

01101000 01110100 01110100 01110000 00111010 00101111 00101111 01101001 00101110 01101001 01101101 01100111 01110101 01110010 00101110 01100011 01101111 01101101 00101111 00110101 01011001 01010110 01101001 01100001 01010010 01110111 00101110 01110000 01101110 01100111

You just had to decode it (with any online translator/decoder) to get the following imgur link:

Deleting the ".png" part takes you back to the preview page where you could read this description:

Wasn't that hard, was it? Actually next part it's too hard, but here's what you need: UGZSeWtacGU=

I clearly hinted that what you got was an itstoohard.com puzzle code. You just had to decode the Base64 code to get PfRykZpe:

http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/PfRykZpe

Question of this puzzle were pretty easy (with a few hints, even easier):

Q1 - 06/24
Q2 - Rochard, Rochard: Hard Times, Space Pirates and Zombies
Q3 - QmFzZTY0 (="Base64" in Base64 encoding)
Q4 - Purple (of course...it was just the big hint for the last question)
Q5 - Saints Row: The Third

I added alternate answers to the questions in order to avoid format issues.
I unfortunately forgot Base64 is case sensitive: I should have put "YmFzZTY0"("base64" in base64 encoding) as a possible answer to Q3 too.
I'm sorry but I really didn't think about that. Anyway it's just two possible answers, not too much frustrating I guess.

Once you solved the puzzle, you got this 5-letters code (that is of course a SG giveaway code):

tsmE8

Giving you the chance to enter this private giveaway for Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package.

Hope you enjoyed this little simple puzzle.
Congrats to the winners and thanks for the birthday wishes.
