Giveaway closed! Thanks for dropping by! It was a lot of fun!

Next Saturday, February the 8th, is my birthday.

To commemorate I'll be giving away a key to Chains of Satinav.

To participate, just post how old you think I'll be on that day. :)

Everyone who gets it right will be in the draw. I'll use random.org to choose the winner.

Also, there's a super secret fact about me that even my family is not aware right now. Whoever gets it right first (the more precise, the better)*, will get a 5,99 USD gog game of their choice. Deadline is the moment I declare a winner for the Chains of Satinav key.

* That means the super secret fact has a few complementary aspects that I'll take into consideration when choosing the winner saturday. To make it more clear: suppose the fact has a Basis and complements A and B. If you post the basis plus A and B first, you win. If you post basis plus A or B first and nobody else posts Basis plus A and B, you win. If you post Basis first and no one else gets any of the complements, you win. If you get Basis mostly right (but not entirely right) first and no one else post something more correct, you win.

I'll post the complete super secret fact when revealing the winners. There are no tips to the super secret fact in this post, really, nor will I give any.

Good luck everybody.

Also, on a side note, if you're feeling generous and want to make me happy, please consider my wishlist below:
- Gothic 2
- Empire Earth 2
- Rune Classic

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks everybody for the kind words. I appreciate them. Now, for the facts:

As of today I am 30 years old.

Since no one got it right, I random.orged the prize, Chains of Satinav, to one of the participants for the key and the winner is Byeohazard! Congratulations, mate!

As for the super secret fact that even my family is not aware of: Yes, I'm gonna be a father! :D

My family is not aware because I want to surprise them when my kid arrives in this world. :) The mother is my ex-girlfriend (we've spent 5 years together and have been apart for about a year now). Having a kid together (while not in a relationship anymore) was a choice we made together sometime last year. Yes, we kinda trust each other a lot. :)

The only person to declare "to be in" and get it right was soulitter! Congratulations!

I'll contact the winners soon enough through PM.

Once again, thanks for participating!

Not in for the giveaway, but just for the fun of guessing:
You're engaged, you're going to become a father and you're going to marry on your birthday.
Ill take a shot and say you will be 26 on your birthday.
Happy Birthday in advance! I am going to guess that you will be turning 38. And for the secret fact, I am going to guess that you will be changing jobs soon, and that this will involve moving. The reason that's my guess is because you said not even your family knows yet. I could be completely wrong. But anyway, +1.
Not it, but if this is true: marry a girl born valentine day on valentine day... would make remembering 'special' days easy for you.
Not in for Chains of Satinav, but I'll fire a long shot for that GOG game.
Your super secret fact is that your most enjoyable moment while playing The Binding of Isaac is when you find Super Secret Room. :D
Have a Happy B-day in three days!
Not in, Happy Birthday Falci.
Not in, but +1 and Happy Birthday!
Just a friendly reminder that this birthday giveaway will end tomorrow. If you feel like taking part of it, now is a good time. ^_^
Not in for Chains, but my guess is you are still in the closet.

Not in but happy birthday.
Happy birthday in advance.
Not in (have it and next month its also a freebie in a mag).
My guess for the big secret....you will surprise your family and show your fashion sense in wearing a pink tutu!!!
Thanks for your generosity, Falci and let me to wish you a great Happy Birthday in advance! :)

Please, count me in for the 5,99 GOG. ;)

You've been admitted/have entered in an organization which your family wouldn't wish for you to work in: maybe the police? The army? And you're going to drop the bomb tomorrow, during your Birthday.

(alternatively, you're actually an alien in disguise, and your species are going to come back in force to retrieve you from the evil clutches of your family -which are actually members of the earthling organization which have you in custody-) :D

Happy birthday! Not in!
Happy Birthday, Falci. Thanks and +1 for the giveaway.

Only in for the secret fact prize, if that's alright.
My guess is that there are circumstances falling into place, which will allow you to change careers, finally pursuing something you truly love doing. This will involve moving, but since the new occupation will provide more money as well, you are confident your family will embrace the change in location. Apart from the fact they want you to be happy and support your dreams because they love you. The place you plan to move to will provide a better living situation for you and your family on top, as the standard quality of living there is considered higher than where you are at right now. You have been there earlier on, your family has said before too that they'd love to live there, if they could.
