Oh, I just realized I don't know how to make a link :/ I'm Really sorry, maybe I should have Pay attention to this section named "FAQ" ? But I Didn't...

EDIT : Doesn't seem to work... To apologize, I wanted to show you my magnificent reading lamp, but I don't know how to put an image to a post too, sorry... But maybe it will come here on its own ? It's a very clever lamp, you know !


Solution

In the text before the "script", some letters are in bold. If you take all these letters, you have a link : imgur.com/iRPDaRE
This is a link to '"my reading lamp" . Actually, this lamp is part of a larger pic of Phil Fish, the creator of FEZ. For instance, you could have found it thanks to the pic-based Google Image search engine available here, with the URL of "my lamp" in parameter.

In FEZ, all latin script letters and arabic numerals are represented by symbols : letters and numerals, and words written top down.

In my script, each sequence of 5x5 caracters is composed of two letters, basically representing a binary image ("O" or "Q " as black, "I" as white). If you look at the FEZ alphabet, you will find the following sequence : [K or Q] | 9 | N | 8 | 0
Q is used in all the sequences except the first one, so the first letter is not "Q", but "K". Each sequence is written uppercase except the third, so it's not a "N", but a "n". So we have : "K9n80".
And guess what was the link to the GA : http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/K9n80/

Oh, and in one of my comments, I said that Humble Indie Bundle 11 had 9 games included in it, but only listed 8 : the last one was FEZ ;)

And the GA game was A Story About My Uncle (a First Person Puzzle, like I said in the same comment), not FEZ !

If I make an another puzzle GA in the future, maybe I will make the GA last a little bit longer, one day was obviously too short ;)

Hope you enjoyed it anyway ! :)

I found your lamp but I haven't figured out what to do with it; seems like just a normal lamp.

Wow... I was just lurking around the internet, and guess what I saw ? Some random (hipster) internet guy STOLE MY LAMP PIC ! He just put his face next to it, and make as if it's its !
I'm sad you can't see the pic... Because if it was the case, you could have just search for it, and you would have discovered the dreadful truth !

Nice, *** isn't on your wishlist! However I did find the hipster guy (that I hate) but he's not cooperating with any leads to continue cracking the case! :/

I hate him too ! I didn't remember when I saw him next to MY lamp ('cause of anger, I suppose), but it's him that (indirectly) taught me this obscure script language to make a link ! And as you can see, it doesn't work...

I'm happy ! Seems like some of you have found the GA link by themselves \o/ How have you found the link ?? Just by putting some random and illogical set of caracters into your browser navigation bar ? Anyway, the GA ends in less than 3 hours, I hope some other people will managed to guess the link correctly :D
...
Oh, and talking about illogical things, have you ever played Antichamber ? It's a really well designed irrational First Person Puzzle game (like the Giveaway gift, no ?). Maybe you have missed it ? I know it was included in the Humble Indie Bundle 11, with some others really good games like Dust: An Elysian Tail, Guacamelee! Gold Edition or The Swapper. There was Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine, Starseed Pilgrim and Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians included too. That's it. No other games in this bundle. I'm sure about it, trust me. Only these 9 games.

Wow! I've acquired Fez on a HB but haven't got the time to play it... however this coding process was way beyond my head! It was good for the 8 lucky participants though ;P

Oh, and I checked on google for that Fez coding but I only had a translation of which symbol represented which number, letter or controller input.

Haha :D But the translation you've found is exactly the translation you needed :O Proof (for the first letter) :
