How do you find the puzzle difficulty?
Bump for solved! Took me too long though because of my own stupidity LOL

I now have them all except Q7. I thought I knew what game it was, but after copying the first names of every male with names less than 5 letters from the character sections of that particular game's wiki and tvtropes (never played it), none of them are correct. Now I'm not so sure.

You'll have to do a little more research into their names on the wiki.

Let's just say that you have a clue hidden in plain sight right now when you read this ;]

Solved it now, but none of that, except looking on the wiki more, helped at all.
I guess I was just exhibiting my ignorance of foreign cultures just then.

Congratulations to the 6 noble warriors who managed to complete it with few hints!
Now this is more friendly for newcomers, Edit5 is live :]

Are these games, TV shows, movies, or all of the above? One of the answers is definitely a TV show, but you keep mentioning games.
Comment has been collapsed.
They are all main and side characters from RPG games, Q11 is just a bonus question with multiple answers ;]
Comment has been collapsed.
I got all of them except Q8 (I am 100% sure I know the game, but I know no characters that fit the description) and Q3 (which is said to be the easiest question, but I have absolutely no idea).
Anyway, this puzzle is a lot of fun.
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you sure? Because that character is with you the whole game... well, there's a moment in the story well you need to take a tough decision, I chose him of course

there is no case sensitive inputs! Please delete this comment since it gives away too much information.
edit: thanks for deleting it! and remember folks, NO CASE SENSITIVE inputs! You can upper case your way if you want

I've found first right path and I was like: "OMG, maybe I am not that stupid!". One second later I changed my mind back...
Too depressed as for now so I'm giving up with it but I think You've made a good puzzle here, congrats :) Also, GL to everyone participating!

zelgh guide will help you to:
- Find the bread crumb
- Find the Raw Reaper Code and know where to input it, however it's raw, there's a slight manipulation to be done by you, quite easy though
Then you'll arrive to the puzzle with 11 questions (the last one is just a bonus), you might find it hard at first, but after 24h hints will appear and everything is way easier to Google

I've already found Raw Reaper Code but I have no idea what to do with it :(
Thanks for motivation though.

Okay, I finally just found the puzzle, and I have to say, the clues just weren't at all helpful. They are not laid out clearly. I understand that English may not be your first language, and that may be why they are hard to understand.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can comment to you my logic on the GAs then! Just comment on any of them :]
Comment has been collapsed.
Bring on the haters but....need help with Q1. Never been involved with the subject of question...I just know the name of what thing the question involves.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, extra hint, the game's characters were designed by the creator of that famous manga/anime series! That's why my favorite character resembles so much to that "thing" you say.

And now solved. The puzzle was much more fun than finding the puzzle. :P

wait! You solved it before the hints appeared? Pretty impressive
Comment has been collapsed.
Google-fu and your hints in this thread were enough.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well yes, I've laid down a lot of hints here, but the easiest ones are the actual hints. Take a look tomorrow if you are curious what a lot of people are needing to complete it :]

Ok. Only Q6 left. Are you sure it's 2002, not 2003 (since years are now public)?
Comment has been collapsed.
2002 in North America and Europe my friend! Check EDIT2 for more hints ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm running out of Konami titles already %)
Edit: Think I found the game, now for the character.
Comment has been collapsed.
Konami RPG franchises aren't too many, HD remasters neither, you just have to pinpoint the franchise then check which game was released on said year! Or wait for the extra hints if you want :]
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, thanks. Bump for finally solved. The last one on the leaderboards %)
Comment has been collapsed.
I already feel pretty stupid, as I needed the "very easy" set of hints to do that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, so you did wait 24h to use your Google Fu huh? lol, don't worry, I did the descriptions ungoogable on purpose, hence the ton of hints
Comment has been collapsed.
bump for solved. I was dwelling too much on one thing for Q9... Right game the entire time though lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree. The iconic name is the one I was trying, not the more obscure one you used.
Comment has been collapsed.
I used the wikia spelling... could you care to tell me which name you tried on one of the GA pages please?
Comment has been collapsed.
Posted on the first GA page what my confusion was.

Commander Shephard managed to get some critical Reaper information, EDIT6 is live and he sent Wrex into a solo mission, he can handle it.
If he's successful, EDIT7 will appear tomorrow ;]
Comment has been collapsed.
As a side note, 40 solvers and 33 thought it was a piece of cake! I feel bad for all the other 144 who thought it was FCK YOU HARD, I'm curious to see how many are casual puzzle solvers and how many are just trolls, EDIT7 might help the casuals :]

EDIT 7 - PUZZLE LINK FOUND! HURRY PEOPLE!
Wrex managed to make EDIT7 possible for you guys, the puzzle link is now unscrambled for you to enter in a single click, but we don't have much time before the Reapers cease control again...
Comment has been collapsed.
17 solvers out of 55 playing!
You can do it guys, the newcomers will have to wait 24h for the Care Packages full of hints, hang in there soldiers!

EDIT 8 - The link has been lost again
Now there's a timer to know how much time you guys have! I'll reveal that I'm giving away Mass Effect 2, awesome game.
Also I made a mistake, the game I'm giving away is Dead Space 2 and not Dead Space 1... will change this now

Bump for solved! I don't want to see a puzzle for a while :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Really? And I thought it was the easiest one, should have left the year I guess... but I considered the meme to be too much of a clue
Comment has been collapsed.
Originally the others had far less hints, but I decided to go easy on the people along the way. Will keep in mind for my next puzzle to give the same amount of hints for all the questions
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the fun puzzle! Was hoping to get my first win here, but alas. Hopefully next time! :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
I plan on making a small train just for you guys. Dead Space 2 (it was supposed to be part of the train all along), Dragon Age Origins (as an apology) and, hopefully, Inner World Bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh Inner World Bundle would be great.. got that on my wishlist! :-)

Won 3 out of 8 entered! Lucky me! It was a very interesting puzzle that took a couple of my after-work-evenings. Thank you!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes! I was quite surprised too!
I will add a couple of extra wagons since I made some mistakes along the way and I want to apologize to all you guys and your hard work.

SOLUTION
Go here plz
MAIN POST
So I've been gathering some games for this... MY FIRST TRAIN!
But I didn't want to be a normal train, so this is also MY FIRST PUZZLE!
Prize: A 10-wagon Train! First wagon is Level 0 and last one is level 3, then plenty in between!
All 10 GAs end on Saturday May 16th at 11am (GMT-6)
Feedback on the poll is appreciated :]
Good luck and have fun!
QUICK RULES
Now, for the first bread crumb, look for the image, and the for the info hidden there...
ACHIEVEMENT BOARD
Tier 1 (Very Hard - Hard Puzzle)
Tier 2 (Normal - Easy Puzzle)
EXTRA WAGONS - LIVE
They will last until saturday 23 and are just Level 1, you have 1 more week to complete the puzzle if you were already participating, PLZ GO NOW
VERSION HISTORY (from "Fuck you... very hard" to "PIECE OF CAKE" version)
Edit1: So people are having troubles finding the puzzle and are telling me to go fuck myself (LOL), so I'll clarify that the only thing that matters to find the puzzle is THE FINAL CLUE (now called Reaper Raw Code), however to be able to properly input the characters I layed down 3 clues that the Puzzle Lovers found really easy but the rest of you didn't. I'm also facilitating the link to Zelgh's awesome guide since most of you are so damn lazy -___-
Edit2: If you find the final puzzle, it's not that hard... but the hardest is Q6 since it's the only game not regarded as an RPG classic. As an extra hint it's a game published by Konami and it has the character in the cover of the game. This is a spinoff game of its franchise, besides this one Konami only released an HD remaster of the 2 main titles, so no 4th game... F*ck you Konami! Not even a Steam release for the HD games! (sorry for digressing)
Edit3: Now each question of the puzzle has 3 hints, this will make your lives much easier, you just have to wait 24h to answer those answers you don't know, but if you've played some of the games the answer will be super easy for you! You'll have to wait for the hints to use your Google Fu though
Edit4: So I uploaded a new image with far easier instructions now, I think you won't be needing much more help now to find the questions.
Edit5: Decided to make public the year of each game so you won't wait 24h, then added some hints of at least 1 of the systems the game is available. Now the puzzle is officially VERY EASY!
Edit6: Have you played hangman before? Well now the question answers detail the number of letters :D
EDIT7: Wrex fought bravely for Edit7. He's the best. ENTER THE PUZZLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Reapers may disrupt the signal anytime now...
EDIT8: So the signal has been scrambled again... however there's a huge clue on Steam to find the Puzzle chamber, check the Timer to know how much time is left. This is my last update, may the force be with you all (a sith name is a valid answer in Q11, but there are easier answers than that).
EDIT9: 3 EXTRA WAGONS ARE LIVE!
