Hey guys,

So I want to celebrate that I own now 999 games on Steam!! But please do not check yet, I just bought 15 more games I can only activate in a couple of hours, so till then I am stuck with 984 games... But I just could not hold it back! I know I am more of the quiet forum guy, that reads a lot and says nothing, but I really want to give somehing back to this awesome community:) I hope you enjoy it!

And another off-topic question to keep the thread alive, what do you want to gift your partner for christmas?

Here you go:

31452517 26434163 202674

I know this one is incredibly mean and annoying. You have to decide for yourself if it is worth the effort ;)

EDIT: Answers fixed, something went wrong with my keyboard...

EDIT 2: I now actually have 999 games in my library:D also, the first solver gave me the hint to remove the last part of the puzzle, since it is really hard to solve. So, if you manage to solve all 10 Questions, now the link to the giveaway will await you instead of a last piece of puzzle;)

UPDATE: So, I am very sad to tell you, I have to cancel the giveaway. I cannot express how sorry I am, since I see how much effort you already put in the puzzle, and you were all expecting to be able to win an hopefully awesome game.

I bought the game from a friend of mine, like, a steam friend, we met in person actually one or two times, but distance is just too far. We knew each other for quite a long time, and I could always give him my Paypal money so he would give me the game I was looking for, that is how things worked with us. He had a credit card and the knowledge on where to get the best deal on a game and when. He did not use Trades a lot, it was more a friendship thing. Today I received a message from him. He said he is completely broke and used up all the money he received from me and a few other friends. I mean I do not understand completely what is going on, he refused to give me an answer and blocked me on Steam already.

I know him, he is a really good guy, and I trust him. Nonetheless I do not have a game for you anymore. I have been relying on him giving it to me, now he just effed off. This is not an excuse on not fulfilling your expectations. This is just an clarification. I understand that you guys are pissed, as am I. I just hope he clears his mind and talks to me, not because of money, but because I am worried.
Its christmas time and I cannot afford another copy of that expensive game. Fragy was the only one to solve the puzzle, and I promise he will get something from me for his efforts, sooner or later of course, I cannot buy anything right now, also I am not in the mood for that. But you will not be forgotten Fragy, promise!
For the rest of you who all spend energy and time on this puzzle, you will get something back, too. Something small probably , but there will be something:) Just keep your eyes open from time to tiem and you will find it:)

And once again. I am sincerely sorry.

SOLUTION

You had to enter the Number code here

Then you would have the part of an URL for an itstoohard Puzzle

Q1: Guy Fawkes I said I could be also looking for a person
Q2: Alien This is what the computer said to the Android in the original Alien movie, I was not referring to the DLC of Alien: Isolation
Q3: Jonah Hill The movie was Superbad, my favourite movie:) He was supposed to get Kyle's Killer Lemonade
Q4: Payday 2 I just found this pun funny
Q5: The Last of Us Ellie and Joel stumble upon a horse, and seh calls it Callus, Joel comments annoyed on that name for a time
Q6: The 100 a TV show I currently watch, I like it not too much but my gf enjoys it
Q7: Tafelspitz I thought I wanted to put something in the puzzle most people have no idea of, but is definitely googlalbe
Q8: The Butterfly effect Watch the movie.
Q9: Jean-Baptiste Grenouille The protagonist of my favourite book, Perfume. I spoilered the end now, but I hope you had a good time googling it;)
Q10: simple Jack It is a fictional movie inside the universe of the movie 'Tropic Thunder'

hmm Saotoshi, not sure if you meant this spot to post IF you decided or maybe someone would just kinda drop a line here.. so, how do I do this without spoilers? I've seen most got stalled (impaled? XD) in Q9 and Q10, I too, ofc.
So, am I looking for words containing numbers too? am I seeking something gaming related? those are huge giveaways, so feel free to say whatever you need or even don't say anything at all, after all Fragy solved it all, yes, the only one for now :P

Oh and if this is too much please tell me so I'll take it down asap!

Oh gosh, I had to look up the word impaled... I wish i could unsee some of these pictures...

Yes you are right, these are probably really (like really really) hard, and although Fragy solved it already, I am seriously thinking about giving some more hints. But I won't too soon, since I already cut out the complete last part of the puzzle today. Also, I am not even sure if I can use Fragy as an example for the possibility to solve it, I mean he probably works for ItsTooHard or NSA (Maybe both?) how else could he solve it so fast?

just kidding Fragy, I envy you so much for your abilities :o

So if there will be hints, there will come some at the weekend;)

Aww you're cute, you had to look up the word impaled? but didn't flinch at some of the pics for the "eaten by hobos" one? XD haha that's rich!
Yeah, Fragy is something else, like he probably runs both! or he's an expert err coder so he knew how to err solve it so quick! jk as well

Sure, no pressure, I'm missing only 9 & 10 and since you did cut out the other part is fair. Thanks and hopefully it doesn't get too easy that would be kinda bad:P (competition wise)

Thanks for the solution. I don't think I would be able to solve it., I was sure I tried Guy Fawkes for Q1 though. Did it get fixed? Same with Q4. I had tried Payday 2, didn't work. Then later I tried it again and it worked. :S

I fixed everything at the same time, so at that time everything was fixed and has not been changed again.

Don't think too hard about it! Sometimes taking a break and getting a clear mind is the best way to solve sth!

I don't know how the answer could be wrong, so I'm probably not on the right path. Same goes for Q2. I only found one thing while googling, but it doesn't work.

Hey there! Sorry to hear all that :-(

But thank you for being way more honest with us, than needed.
The Puzzle was a big challenge for me, and as said above, i got all but the last two answers, which, to be honest now that i know the answers, i would not have guessed without any hints.

I wish you that the stuff with your friend will clear out. I always believe in the good things :-)
