First giveaway is about to be wrapped up, time for Round 2 :cool: The Rules are different so please read them before posting.


Fallout is a good game- tons of replay value. If I had more time and played games on my PC I would be half tempted to keep it, but I don't foresee any of that happening so its all yours :laugh:

How to Enter:
Im running out of ideas, but here's one: Post the info (Artist & Title) of a song that you like but that you wouldn't necessarily want anyone to know you actually like. No need to link to Youtube or embed, just TEXT. No Rebecca Black or you will be DQd.

I have one stuck in my head and I would tell you guys what it is but I'm not the one trying to win a game :D Feel free to guess though, they play it on the radio a ton in the US.

Rules:
For this round you must have a join date of 2010 or earlier. This giveaway is open to eligible Steam members in the US/CAN/UK. Please post only one time in the thread.

Members who have a WCG or F@H badge at the time of the drawing will get an additional entry per badge. So if you have a F@H badge and a WCG badge I will assign you (3) entries into the random drawing. Just one gets (2) entries. Should make sense.

Giveaway Date:
Tentative date for a winner is 7/8/11 @ 5PM PST. RANDOM.ORG will be used for the drawing. Winner will be notified by PM and announced in the thread. If Steam code is not redeemed within 24hrs of gifting a new winner will be selected.

This giveaway has been given the OK by your one and only W1zzard, but this contest is not affiliated in any other way with TPU!​

Just my personal preference as those are the projects TPU has teams participating in and that I personally contribute to. Not saying one is better than the other or more important :toast:

Well I am embarassed to admit it, but I have a 4 year old grandaughter and her favorite movie is "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", she came over and stayed at the weekend and she watched it 5 times! All week I have been walking around singing the damn song to myself, sometimes without realising it.... a little too loud, I have quite a few who work for me and today I wondered why they were all smiling at me (they rarely normally smile!) and it was because I had been singing this damn song without realising it, so guess what? My entry is........

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (origional) sung by Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes :rockout:
