Just wanted to wish you guys a happy new year, because I like the community on this website. :)

Q1: You have to search in the weekly sales, not the regular bundles.
Q5: No punctuation. Sorry, can't edit.

Answers

Q1: What game is this giveaway for?
Zeno Clash
Explanation: Brute forcing according to the hints.

Q2: How much CV do you need to enter?
0
Explanation: Simple guess!

Q3: How old am I?
22
Explanation: Googling my nickname might lead you to one website or another where my age appears. Otherwise, brute forcing!

Q4: What's my nationality?
French
Explanation: The words "Excusez-moi" were in the hint; once you've figured out the language, it's easy to guess my nationality.

Q5: What game am I playing right now?
Fire Emblem Awakening
Explanation: Brute forcing according to the hints.

Q6: Do you like potatoes?
Oui
Explanation: There's no way somebody wouldn't like potatoes, right? The hint tells you they don't understand English. With Q4, you get to learn that I'm French. If you don't speak that language, you just had to look for the translation of "Yes".

For Q1, I've now tried every game from the humble bundle pc and android 8, humble jumbo bundle, humble mobile bundle 3, and humble wb bundle... Is there some other humble bundle from december 2013?

Sure, there is. Not to say there are several others... You can find two "types" of bundles on the Humble Bundle website, after all. :)

sigh, humble weekly sales are NOT humble bundles :/

You're being picky here... It's called "Humble Weekly Sale" but it's still a bundle of games. I don't see why it would be incorrect to call them "Humble Bundles"; the only difference is that one category lasts two weeks and the other only one week.

I'm being picky because your questions are pure guess and check on a website that punishes you for guessing by making you wait 30 seconds each time; it's super tedious, and not helped by our only piece of info being factually incorrect. (bundles and sales are quite distinct on their website, the bundles all have bundle right in the name and are listed in the "humble bundle" tab)
Anyway thanks for the giveaway

I didn't want to make it too easy or that wouldn't be worth it, that's why some of my answers are based on guess; but I still consider my puzzle being a lot easier than others that really don't make any sense here... Anyway, I didn't think it could be confusing for people when I made the puzzle so I updated the first post. Hoping to get more solvers. :)

Better than trying to solve the puzzle then figuring out you already own the game, right? :D Thanks!

Thanks for the hint.It helped very well.Also you probably won't communicate with patatoes when they burn your house down(just a reminder to foreseen potapocalypse)

I'm guessing you're talking about the hint for Q6? Well, it would have been way too sadistic without, haha.
And man you're so wrong, I'll govern them all, ALL THE POTATOES!

Don't forget the eyepatch. Seems to be important for governors of the potato army.

Of course, nothing better than an eyepatch to look like a badass; it proves you had to fight to reach such a position.

As someone who never had a ds,for q5 I went to wikipedia for a list of all 3ds games,sorted by release date and proceeded to see which of them are rpgs. 30s waiting time was seriously annoying. Here's a list for anyone who might be interested,and remember to remove punctuation:

Bravely Default
Crimson Shroud
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
Rental Bukiya de Omasse
One Piece: Romance Dawn
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Pokémon X
Pokémon Y
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity

Now to try and figure out what op means when saying potato. I seriously have no clue,but I assume it has nothing to do with the engine.

Haha, you don't really need to know what I meant by saying potato, just answer the question. :)

You certainly missed one, don't forget to remove the punctuation!

Well if you remove any special meaning from potato,you get a simple "do you like X?"; back when I studied english,the classic responses to a question like that would be "Yes,I do" or "No,I don't". I've tried many variations,but I can't help but think I'm completely missing it. Either that,or you're sadistic. Probably the later.

You got the idea, except that I'm only expecting one word as an answer. Just pay attention to the hint!

Solved. It sort-of makes sense now,though it's really not initiative. Aside from the question this is the first puzzle that I felt had a right mix of brute-force solving and digging for details without being insanely hard,and as a whole it was fun to solve. Looking forward to your next one(hopefully will be soon).

Well, I'm glad you liked it! This is my first puzzle, not that it took me so long to make but I wanted something well-balanced between "not too hard" and "need to give it some thought". Who knows, if I'm inspired (and if I have some games to give away), I might create new puzzles in the future.

I can't do anything about inspiration,but I've decided to be a bit more active about the other thing. Check your profile when you're online ;)

The right type of sleuthing made the brute-forceing part very short.
Which I think was great. I started just guessing stuff, then figured there should be an easier route and there was!

Still can't solve it. I've went to the thesaurus and tried every word I could with yes and no.
edit:
I finally solved it. So simple but so complicated at the same time

By no punctuation, do you mean no capital letters or just no special characters? I mean, do I have to try everything I can find that's an RPG on the 3ds in 2013 in both capitals and not?

According to the site, answers are not case sensitive so you don't have to worry about it. Just remove any special character if there is!

its nice of you to post the solutions.
But puzzles where (some) questions can only be answered by bruteforcing is just stupid, especially for only a small game like zeno clash.

Come on, the brute forcing here wasn't such a big deal with all the hints. I'd have made it worse if it was more than a bundle game; but unfortunately, that's the only game I could give away at that moment, and I really wanted to make a puzzle for once. By the way, Q1's answer - and hint - were enough to know it wouldn't be a big game; if you were not interested, you could stop trying to solve right at the beginning. So I insist, but I don't think it was that bad.
