Hello and welcome! As it turned out in the rat-brain puzzle, I was able to cut rat brains into pieces, at least in software.
This puzzle proves that I can do the same with emojis/kamojis/whatevermojis. Various rabbit and bird xmojis have been taken apart and randomly scattered into the table below. Each cell contains a giveaway code, but 251 have been expired and comes from a relatively small group anyway (which I am not a member of actually).

So, 5 giveaways actually work (although, mostly with negative reviews), and also form a GA code for a not too bad train. Knowing hexadecimal numbers and the xlate page may come handy. The row and column headings should make forming the character codes easy (take the row number first, and replace the second digit with the column number).

May the white rabbit guide you on your way.

Hint: The white rabbit is up there and watching over all of us.
TecHint: Notepad rocks, especially with Chrome.

No poll, no potato, no regret.
EDIT: I regret already, should have put up one with at least the usual can't/won't/did not vote options. Without a poll it is really hard to guess when to add a hint.

Solution

Brute forcing every link was a side entrance (it worked, yes), the white rabbit in question is present in the thread topic, so /(^x^)\ was the sequence hidden in the table. The underscores made things a "bit" less readable, but searching for the characters of the rabbit worked pretty well on the page already, and selecting the table and pasting it into Notepad worked even better (I tried with Chrome where the result is nicely tabulated, and with IE where the result is a bit messy, but at least the underscores are gone).
The rabbit was taken apart into 5 pieces and they had to preserve the order: / was the first piece at 71, (^ was the second at 4D, x is the mid one at 66, then comes ^) at 44, and the closing \ at 33.
71 4D 66 44 33 can be decoded to qMfD3, a train starting with Rise of The Triad.

189 (plain decimal) is BD in hexadecimal. I needed some sane deadline for the puzzles and today (Aug 27) happens to be my birthday.

256 (well, 254, as A3 and F0 ended up non-clickable somehow) Let-Me-Google-That-For-You links behind cryptic symbols. Should not be scary at all.

I will use all powers of my brain. I will climb to the very top of my intelectual abilities! and I will bruteforce every single link :P

But, the hint... Take it literally, its first half at least.

I will try. All serious now, I always have a little problems with that kind of puzzles, but let's hope I will figure something out :)

I feel like I'm the only one here who can't even get the table.

If you mean the very basics: the site uses 5-letter codes for identifying giveaways (and actually forum threads too). If the code is xy123, the giveaway link is http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xy123/ (the closing slash is important).

There is a rather long guide about puzzle-related things in general: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/TLR8m/zelgh-magic-guide-to-basic-sg-puzzling-update-june-2015

no... I really mean the table. zelgh was the first place that I went to try to understand HEX.
but this table seems beyond get horizontal + veritcal results and put them together.
I'll be very pleased if you don't mind to post how to use it after GA end, if you don't mind.
I've been into puzzles a lot lately but I feel like I'm way behind people here since most of "puzzlers" thinks that math is puzzle. (like no math equals behind basics)
Since I'm a lawyer, math is REALLY not my area, but logic is (that's why I'm really into puzzles lately).

I can link you puzzles where I used actual math as the puzzle itself or a part of a cryptography method for combining pieces, or expected users to code for themselves [1], [2], the latter involving discrete mathematics (but explained in a hint).
I provided those links to make it more believable when I claim: this puzzle uses no maths and expects no programming skills.

I'll just wait until giveaways end so someone can explain how it worked. o3 o

For now mind's too busy for this. But thanks anyways, have mi bump!

Thank you :-) Apparently I tend to win some of your GA-s :-)
(While I know something about the Melissa K. adventure already, I am really curious about Organ Biker - based on the screenshots it reminds me Action Fighter from the C64)

Hahah last night when I was sending out the keys I noticed that too.
Melissa has good reviews, but I think organ doesn't... Lol
Either way, I hope you enjoy them at least a little :-)
