There is still plenty of time to solve it. So far 8 solvers and 5 entries.

There is only one final boss... and if you look at the hints for the question it points which one it is about.

Well, the hints seem to be pointing to one of them (which "sounds" like the absolute last final bad guy due to his name) given the requirements to unlock him (related to "go outside" and "being lucky"), while the "absolute final final ultimate" boss seem to be another. Regardless, I've tried both and it comes down to wording, which I can't guess.
Also I can't for the life of me find any information on any digital or online game shop ever giving away BoI, and I even tried all the major ones. Steam, GoodOldGames, GreenManGaming (first guess due to featuring game trade in, tried almost every possible spelling), Impulse, BestBuy, Game, Gamestop, GamersGate, Direct2Drive, OnLive... Is it a different spelling of one of those? I really don't know any more online stores, let alone ones that feature game trade in.

As I'm pretty sure I already told somewhere here (or maybe I didn't ^^") fortunate is in italics for a reason so maybe it points to something else... can't really tell more. Q6 is not about the store (or BoI), you are supposed to give the name of the game given by that store on it's anniversary.

The hint here and on the Too Hard Puzzle points to the right "wording" ^^

Welp, I'm most likely out. Could have gotten everything but two of them. Puzzle isn't feasible outside of sheer luck due to wording of some questions and requirement to word your answer the exact same way you did (which is less logical deductive reasoning and more random guessing).
Goodluck to all involved, and I'd very much enjoy it if the OP could post the answers after this is finished.

I certainly will. I can assure you that only one that required random guessing was Q1. Q3 has only one answer correctly and it couldn't be worded differently.

Q3 was the problem for me and I haven't time to try today, but thank you for the nice puzzle.

Ok, as I predicted Q3 and Q6 had to be guessed by sheer dumb luck.
Q3: Even ignoring that the moonlogic hints that actually pointed towards Satan (Occam's Razor: Fortunate - luck. Satan is the only one with a chance to show up before a certain task is met, Go outside - points towards persistence, beating the game till you get the 10th ending), BUT, the real offender is that you put the name of the item wrong. The item's name is The Polaroid, not "the photo", and the sentence is grammatically incorrect. An actually correct answer could be "Bring Isaac The Polaroid", or "Defeat Isaac while holding the Polaroid", etc.
Q6: Nothing in the sentence hinted towards that answer. We're talking about Binding of Isaac, then suddenly we're not, and "this game", which till now was BoI, is suddenly something else.
I got everything else, but those two were impossible to get right by logic or deduction. In fact, the only way to get Q3 "right", was by getting it wrong.
Consider this constructive criticism though. Thanks for the puzzle.

I choose to disagree.
I clearly stated that first 5 questions are about BoI the rest is random which means Q6 has nothing to do with BoI. Also as far as I know there is only one shop that let you trade in your games for credit. It was mentioned on this forums numerous times. After that it was just a matter of finding right game/topic.
Q3 I said fortunate here does not mean lucky, I would say if author of puzzle says that it's safe to assume it isn't and try to find other explanation. You also chose to omit second part of the hint about the cookie. The message given by Fortune telling machine is "Bring him a photo" and this was the answer.

I don't have a birthday in another week so I had to find a reason right?
Please don't post any hints. I will do it if I feel there is need for that. First 5 questions are related to BoI the rest is as random as this forum sometimes ^^
Giveaway end Friday after 7 GMT +1 so plenty of time.
And the game I'm giving away is a surprise.
