Am I the only one stuck on Q15? I don't know if you're taking shortest the route as if you're driving by car or you're walking or you're purely going direct with disregard of if it's possible to travel like that in the real world (i.e. shortest map distance). At the moment I'm just brute-forcing the answer :(

I just realised that somewhere along the lines, your initial co-ordinates turned into "Samborska" in Google Maps for me, which is another road nearby and is why I was having difficulty as then there are multiple routes. Got the answer now :/
Consider this a bump and congrats on your milestone :)

Q12 kills the man. Seriously, I've looked through every street and every alley and found absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.
The other ones I've got reasonably fast but this...I've spent more time on this question that the rest of the Qs combined.

Q6 is impossible, theres tons of signs that looks like PS symbols and its not clear where to look, i typed everything i could read and nothing fits, also that freaking underground road always messing my view when im trying to look around. Will see if there will be any hints, but i give up for now.

don't call it "random" if you were looking in wrong place all the time, even if question was very specific that you should look at PLAZA ;p
If you're going to drive a streets ofc you're gonna to encounter lot of these symbols as street signs - yet it have nothing to do with random, as you're looking in different plae that you've been asked to explore.

plaza - A public square or similar open area in a town or city.
Tell me again - how this thing isn't plaza by any chance?

Yeah, that was the one question that drove me crazy. I left it on the side, so it was the last that I solved, but boy did that took some time to find her.

Ok for q10 is the item in question on the persons head or is the clue "Look at people's heads!" just meant to help us find this mythical nun creature?
Edit: This is now the only question im missing and I can honestly say the rest of them were no where near this hard.
Also awesome puzzle, reminds me a lot of Geoguessr
Edit: Got it! Also curse you! I thought after I got this it would be easy :(

where does everyone's blacklist come from. I cant believe that my name is on it. Some idiot accused me of begging even though it was joke, and bobofat I love you but you whirl that ban hammer way to fast. After speaking it was agreed it should be innapropriate behavior, but the ban was the same time. Now i am on everyone's blacklists.

I don't know why I am on his blacklist either. Yes, I have 2 deleted giveaways but just because Steam fu*ked up and keys I had didn't work anymore for anyone.
I haven't begged, I haven't leaked puzzle answers (I have given riddle type hints that people still had to solve), I have activated all games I've won. I haven't done any of those things he has mentioned there. Atleast add a reason to every person otherwise that list is useless because I don't know why I am on it.

LAST STAGE: After all this you were given a simple puzzle: sqrt(4)(1 letter) MOST COMMON BAN ON STEAM(3 capital letters) v(1 letter xD).
QUESTIONS IDEAS:
I got asked where did I come with ideas for each question, so here's an answer:
Q1. I googled lego, but didn't wast something as obvious as Legoland, then I found address for this shop and it had big blocks next to a road xD
Q2. Found on some site with interesting locations on street view :>
Q3. I've been to gamescom in koln and I've been on this bridge with all these locks - it's actually very close to where gamescom takes place - so that's where idea came from :>
Q4. I have many friends from russia in my Steam Groups and wanted to do something for them, and when I think Russia - I think Kremlin - so I wandered a little on Kremlin using Street View looking around and then saw this Samsung Logo :>
Q5. An big Manga nad Anime fan I wanted to do something related based in Japan. But also wanted it to be something more popular, not just a niche few otakus would know about. So 1st I researched Studio Ghibli - but it was normally looking building, just with small name-plate in front - but during research I found location for Ghibli Museum :> I wandered around a lot and generally loved the whole park, so that's idea behind that question :>
Q6. This one I designed especially for Nonos xD I was thinking France, and when you think Frane you think Eiffel Tower :> and I found this little spot with street view from plaza, not from a street, looked around, seen Cross and thought "Cross = PS Pad" xD
Q7. This one I found here. I love Top Gear, so I love Stig so had to add it there :> just walked a little bit so he wouldn't be visible right away :>
Q8. I'm from Poland so I had to add it here :>
Q9. Found it looking for "unusual" street view pictures :>
Q10. Found a nun on StreetViewFunny, then looked around and it turned out the closest hotel have it's webpade with link to google maps, so I used it :>
Q11. Wanted to do something in New York - Originally Q was about counting how many cars are parked between Broadway and Amsterdam Awe, but as I didn't know should I count this white car and wasn't sure for some others are they parked or just staying there for a moment I decided to go with White Car that was just parking :>
Q12. When I was in Holland I loved the small narrow streets next to canals, all these boats etc, so wanted to do something here, Was wandering around on Street View and I found this pub :> Wanted people to explore a little bit, look how beautiful it is, that's why you needed to turn to find it :>
Q13. Found Darth Vader on StreetViewFunny. Then looked around for something I may ask about and seen this giant banner at other side of the street. Also if someone doesn't find Vader it's hard to bruteforce, as there are shitloads of banners on whole Hollywood Ave :>
Q14. My friend who always solves my puzzles and I was sure he's gonna solve this one as well loves Garfield. So I researched for something Garfield Related on Street View and found that xD
Q15. It was designed as a lazy time-waster and it's easy to misscount especially when street view lags, so I thought it would be an awesome idea to mess up with solvers :>
