Very easy :D. Solved but not entered, as I already have it :)

If you're suggesting that the descriptions of the images/questions for those two don't make any sense, it's because it's fairly obvious what you need to do/look for/guess as soon as you open the image. It's not necessarily the same for the other three (well, apart from the first one, but I DID only put this together in about five minutes, so I can't say I really thought deeply about clues/questions/self-evident stuff).
EDIT: 5-2=5. I can't math.

My pleasure. You might want to look at the giveaway's page now if you've already reached it, as the clues for the next step have been posted! I'm just revising them to make sure everything's good, but you can start working on them if you like the challenge.

Haha, well, it happens, congratulations on making it in now! You might wish to give the next one a try, the prizes will pretty much increase in value as you progress (so it's worth it even if you have 'Portal 2', for example, as I'm saying what the next games are on that page).

Well, yes, that's the idea of this puzzle. I don't expect everyone who's a fan of Terraria (or who just wants it, or who simply likes to solve puzzles) to know who the person in the first picture is or what game the fourth one belongs to off the top of their heads. It's a puzzle, not a quiz or a test, so the idea (as I see it) is to know HOW or WHERE to look for information or how to DEDUCE certain things, where applicable, without necessarily having any a priori knowledge of the subjects. Of course, some of my riddles (in the past and some to come, maybe) do become much easier with some general knowledge in a field, but even so, those who lack it just need to dig a bit further and get the hints I often post/mask in comments.
It will get a bit more difficult as people advance through the stages, though. I seldom put an image, for example, which blatantly gives away the answer if you hover over the link, as I did here, rather than have you search for it.
And yes, the main reason I linked to the above giveaways is that it makes it easier for puzzle fans to see my general reasoning/patterns in creating puzzles, which sometimes hints to the solutions. I'm genuinely curious how people starting to catch on to the patterns will eventually be able to solve any future puzzles more quickly.

Got to Portal 2, dropped a comment.. Saw the other games being offered and already have them! Too tired to continue now with puzzling so, meh.. :/
Took about 20 / 25 minutes, good challenge! Thanks :)

The final set of clues is up! Levels 1-5 of this incremental giveaway are ready to be attempted!
Although the first giveaway in the series is over, those who reach that level will find a bonus "Binding of Isaac Collection" giveaway in the comments at no extra puzzle! Those who go up to "Portal 2" will find another bonus giveaway, this time for "Frozen Synapse", in case the puzzle one ends (22 hours left on that one)! Both the "BoIC" and the "FS" giveaways still have a few days left to go, so grab them while they're hot!

Back from my trips and three of the giveaways have ended, with the final three levels still going strong! Level 3 is up for another 19 hours, the remaining two are there for five more days, so catch them while you still can! The "Frozen Synapse" and "Binding of Isaac" bonuses have now ended, as has "Portal 2".

Solution? I don't ask a long solution, even the giveaway codes only is okay.

No, that is the first level only and I solved it (and on first try).

Okay, FINALLY had enough time to do this properly, and here is the link to the first giveaway in the series, containing the explanations for the answers and a link to the next level (and so on...). I hope you've enjoyed it and sorry for taking so long to do this. Also, the next giveaway, which is currently open, can be found here. I'll be leaving this for another day or so before closing the topic, so whoever wants to see the answer will be able to access them from the first page. I'm also linking from the other forum topic anyway.

Greetings again and it's time for another series of puzzle giveaways like the ones I did a (very long) while ago.
This time, five games will be given away, starting off with Terraria (level 1), then Portal 2 (level 2). The others... you'll have to find out for yourselves as you progress through the puzzles.
Let's start off with something very easy for the first level, as the difficulty IS going to increase as progress is being made.
So, for Terraria, the link is: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xXxXx
Where 'x' is a lowercase letter, 'X' is an uppercase letter and '#' is a number.
And the clues, in the order of the letters (it's more of an image puzzle, so all you have to do is guess something related to the image, which is either intuitive or described in the question):
Who is this?
Rather self explanatory...
Another self-evident one
What game is this from?
And finally... name the band!
The giveaway for Terraria ends at midnight on the 20th, if I recall correctly, and I'll be posting the questions to the next level of the puzzle there as soon as possible (i.e., probably tomorrow).
Good luck and have fun!
EDIT 1: The clues for the next giveaway in the series are up! Make sure to check the 'Terraria' giveaway page to be able to see them and solve the next puzzle!
EDIT 2: The clues for the third givewaway in the series are up! Reach level 2 ('Portal 2') and see what waits for you beyond, as well as the clues for the next puzzle!
EDIT 3: The clues for the fourth giveaway in the series are up! Reach level 3 to see them (they're really easy)! Also, reach the "Terraria" giveaway (now ended) to get access to a BONUS "Binding of Isaac Collection" giveaway that ends on the 28th of August! Then, reach the "Portal 2" level for a BONUS "Frozen Synapse" giveaway ending on the 29th of August! The links will be in the descriptions of the giveaways for everyone who wants some form of reward for attempting puzzles for giveaways that will be ending. The clues for the last giveaway are coming up soon!
EDIT 4: The clues for the final level have been revealed! Will you make it to the end, or will there be only (n)one?
EDIT 5: Here is the link to the first giveaway in the series, with answers and, where applicable, clues explained! Each level links to the next now and all answers are up. Thank you for taking part and see you in the next giveaway here!
