Spoiler: good guess!
Umm, with thinking! :) There's a puzzle guide if you're not finding it, but I do the same stuff in every dumb puzzle giveaway, so hunt for a previous forum thing... :)
Thank you! :)

Ok I have no idea - I suck at these so much haha
Youtube ones are fine. Otherwise tried base64, hidden links, first letter, previous GA's, certain words...
Am I on the right track?

Umm, I have no idea. :) But if you're thinking this hard about it, you're probably missing something really obvious... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I obviously am because every comment you write I'm like Whats the hidden meaning?!? Is there meaning to this? What even is life?!?!?!
....I think I give up...
Maybe one day I'll get to your last GA lol

I'll write an explanation when the giveaways end, but be warned - it's super easy! :) You're going to feel so silly! :)

lol always the way. Every time I attempt these the only ones I can get are the YT ones. sigh

Comment has been collapsed.
The final game is probably crap, so you're not missing much... :) Actually, I just noticed it's "Level 5" anyway, so maybe don't waste too much time on it... :) Sorry! :)

oooooohhhh... lol ok >.> I'll just wait for the explanation then haha

Did you play Disco Elysium yet?
Did it get bundled yet, or go on sale for less than $10?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, no. :) I think Disco Elysium is more than good enough for a Humble Monthly, but hopefully they sell mountains of copies and never need to go that route... :)
Thank you! :)

Hopefully they sell mountains of copies and then go that route. :)

Yeah, it was funny to see SW ad on the steam main instead of sale for a whole tuesday.
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't know there was a sale going on at all, guess I missed the start... Saw the usual broken Steam later, though. :)
Thank you! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I won't buy them anyway - you know that one word: backlog!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I heard that word before... :) Thank you! :)

Bump for solved!
Havent tried out Disco Elysium. There are so many good games coming out and I dont have the time or the money to play them all!
I did pre-order Iceborne though and im so hyped for it to come out.
P.S.: WOOOW! That star wars game costs 93$ on steam in my country.
Comment has been collapsed.
Disco Elysium is great, maybe wait for a sale if you like that sort of game since it's definitely worth something. :) But if you don't like that sort of game don't bother, because it's really that sort of game... :)
Dang, sounds like I'll have to send the winner wallet money if they are in a lucky region... :)
Thank you! :)

Alas, I just checked the list, and I wasn't on it. Strictly mediocre here... :) Oh well... :)
Thank you! :)

Never played that game. But my brother wanted to play Apex Legends and because EA Origin launcher he wasn't able to play, the launcher doesn't let him install any game because an error, it's like that since last year or so... Hope they add all the library to steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmm, that sounds like a bummer... :( I can never remember to play anything I have on Origin so maybe mine doesn't work either, only I don't even know it? :) Hope it works sooner or later for your brother...
Thank you! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, it's weird installation issue. Every time he tries to install anything there it waits some kind of confirmation from Windows that never happen. Tried everything and still happen, so maybe with luck and looking that the games will start directly from Steam and not Origin fix the issue.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh, but if you do that you won't be able to play any of the random crap in the super secret puzzle giveaways... :) Or maybe it's ok as long as someone else buys them? Not sure how the proposed boycott works exactly... :)
Thank you! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you fiftykyu. I hope this doesn't mean that The Sims 3 will suddenly get cheaper. I'll feel like even more of a dolt for buying all those expansions. :-/
I wonder if they'll forget that Syndicate (the FPS from this century, not the original from Bullfrog) is banned in Australia and releaase it on Steam by accident. I hope so!
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't worry, even if the dlc get a massive 25% discount there's still like 300 of them... :)
Hmmmm, Syndicate is some other game too? I'm drawing a blank, only know about the Bullfrog one... Sigh.
Oh, hey, I just thought of something! Can you play https://steamcommunity.com/app/958260/ in Australia? I think the publisher wanted to keep it away from anyone who might complain about boobies or something? Not sure, though...
Thank you too! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Nooooooooo! :'(
It showed it to me until I logged in. Then:
An error was encountered while processing your request:
This item is currently unavailable in your region
sigh
I hate living here.
Edit: Oh, this is the Syndicate game, I think: https://www.origin.com/aus/en-us/store/syndicate/syndicate (it changes to a 404 when I go to it without a VPN).
Comment has been collapsed.
After a bit of putzing with steamdb it appears you might need to take a short vacation to Macau or Hong Kong or something... I assume you'd need to keep visiting to play, though. Oh well...
Hmmmm, if I ever knew about that Syndicate reboot (?) game I completely forgot it. :( Although, if it had ever been on Steam, I probably would have bought it. There's 20 bucks saved. :) Good work EA, but you forgot Baby Moses! :)

I think New Caledonia would be the closest country in another zone -- it's part of France, so uses French Steam. But I looked into doing that before when I visited (for Valkyrie Drive), and I think it's just too risky. I'd need to convince Valve that my Steam account should be moved to EU, which would be pretty difficult, and then I suspect I'd have to move it back again to here to not raise any red flags.
The alternative is a second account elsewhere and using a VPN, which is seeming more and more attractive every year. Maybe one day my government will become more enlightened ... . I'm not holding my breath.

Hmm, kinda looks like that DOA game isn't playable in Europe, or heck, almost anywhere...
PurchaseRestrictedCountries = HK TW KR SG VN PH TH MO CN
allowrunincountries = HK TW KR SG VN PH TH MO CN
Yeah, a second account sounds like the safer way... :) I wonder what happens if you family-share something that way, would you be able to play it with your normal account or would it still be blocked? Maybe it depends on the game?
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh. That's crazy!
Maybe it's not a censorship thing, then; maybe it's just that Koei or whoever don't want to share their DoA boobies with the rest of the world. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe I should take an old laptop, hmm, no actually scratch that, the graphics would be too crap to play anything...
Maybe I should take my old pc on a permanent trip to somewhere or other, and see what the fuss is about. Lots of boobies I guess? Seems like a lot of work, though... I wonder if there's any boobies on this internet thing? You think google image search has heard of グラビア ? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sure google image search has heard of that. ;)
The various boorus and other image boards no doubt have all of the "good stuff" -- and much more besides -- but there's something to be said for playing the game oneself, I think. I suppose really I'm equally as annoyed by the principal of not being able to buy it as I am with actually not being able to buy it. I don't like people telling me I can't do something! :D
Oh, happy cake factory day fiftykyu! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You know, it's worse than that, the game is free. You don't even need to buy it, just live somewhere else... :(
Belated thank you! :)

I just found Beach Paradise -- a free fan-made mod for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round -- which apparently makes it much like an adult version of VV or Xtreme. Woot!
But then I downloaded it and checked the readme. It needs the ($89.95) Tropical Paradise DLC, which I don't have, to work. Aaaaaaarrrrrgh!
And to make it even worse, I found out that I missed the Mai character DLC for DoA 5, so now I'll never be able to play with her. I suppose they want me to buy DoA 6 instead. sigh

Well, would you look at that, giveaways hiding inside youtube urls since I'm too lazy to think of a better way to do it... :)
Umm, let's explain it for anyone who's still curious how this works...
Hopefully
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1hFcYxzHQs&list=Q8t3kwill suggest tryingQ8t3ksomewhere, perhaps https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Q8t3k/ ? If you try that, you find the Mass Effect Collection. AnduWWu6= https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/uWWu6/need-for-speed-hot-pursuit = Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, andwHVvw= https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/wHVvw/mirrors-edge = Mirror's Edge.Oh, right, there was one more giveaway hiding in there. Star Wars: whatever... :)
Anyway, if you visit those first three giveaways, you will see "some free bundle leftover keys, with lazy anti-bot protection" at the bottom, which as everyone should know by now, is a big lie. If you ever see me dump leftover keys, it's hiding something. And it's the same thing every time. You have to look at the keys. That's it.
Let's look at the partial keys in the Mirror's Edge giveaway:
H68TTFLKHH89MEEIXGOOY2WTTYT2HHGI3EE7JZRRZGJGG0K0AA3KHMMQLJEE(and so on, you should get it from this...)
Look at the end. See the message? THE OTHER GAME IS HIDING AT 39 72 66 48 4F ?
Yeah, it's just ascii, as usual. :) Check the puzzle guide or poke around on the internet, if you do puzzles you'll see this sort of thing all the time. Anyway,
39 72 66 48 4F=9rfHO= STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order. Woohoo! Hope it's as good as the KOTOR games, but I'm not holding my breath... :)Sorry if you didn't win, but good luck in the next one! :)
Original message:
Yeah, another dumb puzzle. Sorry, that's all I know how to do. Maybe imagine I had some funny poll answers in here, or something...
So anyway, EA games are coming back to Steam. Umm... Wonder if this matters to anyone?
Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Oh, right, I know! I can dig up my old Humble Origin Bundle keys for the precious cv!
But that joke isn't funny anymore
Oh, but what if those were actually Origin keys, though... :(
頭の中で今夢がくずれだした
Oh well, close enough! :)
Yeah, you could probably listen to those songs but you've heard them all before, so never mind. Just imagine there's something cool hidden in there somewhere, I guess. Good luck! :)
