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=Q8t3k will suggest trying Q8t3k somewhere, perhaps https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Q8t3k/ ? If you try that, you find the Mass Effect Collection. And uWWu6 = https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/uWWu6/need-for-speed-hot-pursuit = Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, and wHVvw = 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:

H68TT
FLKHH
89MEE

IXGOO
Y2WTT
YT2HH
GI3EE
7JZRR

ZGJGG
0K0AA
3KHMM
QLJEE

(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! :)

Hmm, did I already say "That cat's something I can't explain?" :)

Seems like the sort of thing I should say in reply to that picture, but it's the sort of line I will always try to sneak in, so I'd just be repeating myself. :)

The explanation will be pretty short, it's not a tricky puzzle this time... :) So good luck with it! :) And thank you! :)

If it helps, I haven't started writing the solution yet, because... Well, ok, because I already know how to solve it so I don't have to think about it. :) But also because it isn't going to take long to write, there's not much going on here unfortunately... :( Sorry! :)

Even with that I have no idea where we were even supposed to find 39 72 66 48 4F o_o (is it looking at source, since I don't even know if thats possible on my tablet 0_0)
As for the KOTORs, whats your opinion on KOTOR2 with TSLRCM? Inquiring minds like to know ;)

It means I can probably (and hopefully!) buy NFS Heat on Steam! Because it looks amazing as I've been following the teasers, it's like the good old NFS back again! (Not too old NFS, like middleground NFSU2 - MW - Carbon kind of old :P)

I suspect the number of people who will rebuy something, just to have it on Steam, is greater than zero... Try explaining to your evil overlord why you didn't like making money... :)

You probably didn't miss much, I mean I'm sure this new Star Wars game will be shiny and explodey, but I was almost interested in that other one, the one that sounded interesting, but it wasn't online enough or lootboxey enough or whatever so it had to die... Oh well...

Good luck in the next one! :)
