Well, for starters, it's a game you don't have
Second, put some brain power into it, you can do it ^_^

Do you realize how many combinations those 5 letters in order can make? The link is case sensitive. Since I know ABCDE isn't the letters, we'll just start listing them.
Abcde
abcde
ABcde
aBcde
AbCde
abCde
ABCde
aBCde
abcDe
AbcDe
AbCDe
ABCDe
The list goes on for quite a while

Well, least you have an idea of what to look for
Really though, I'm just waiting for a couple of hours or so until I give out some hints

I'd at least change the steamgifts nonlink in your post to show the correct format. for example, steamgifts.com/giveaway/XxxXX would show Upper, lower, lower, upper, upper for the cases of the letters.

Awww, but that would ruin all the fun.
I'll do it eventually

I honestly won't even bother with it until some hints are posted anyway, since I've already failed pretty hard with the majority of the questions, but I'd hate to be someone who has all of the answers and has to sit there and go through every combination until I get it.

Where do i post my answer? ... if ...i say have one ... that is :)
Comment has been collapsed.
steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX (Where the X's can be either uppercase letters, lowercase letters, or numbers 0-9)
Did not put up the actual format yet, will do eventually

So sad, either not enough participants or people are having difficulty with this puzzle D:

Well no one didn't pass the first part, so I wouldn't blame you

Oh shit... Don't remove the image link's ".jpg" if you don't like NSFW. :P

Sometimes the image's description has a giveaway code or a hint.

Day 3: Really?? No one pasted the first part? Now I'm just really disappointed (and slightly pissed)
Comment has been collapsed.
This is like a really bad version of Blockbusters Gold Run. No, No... In fact it's much worse it's more like Going For Gold.

It will be Day 4 soon, and still no one solved it D:

I think I'll leave some feedback, since you do seem a little bit disappointed by the lack of our skill to solve it.
Disclaimer: I'm not whining, I can live on with a puzzle unsolved. Also it is your puzzle and you can do whatever you want.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to change the hints to make it more helpful if I can (and if I have time as I write this reply during class)
As for using itstoohard, I was aiming for the classic style of puzzle solving before itstoohard was create, which was basically doing some google-fu and brute forcing as someone mentioned before. Eventually you'll reach a itstoohard puzzle, but this is the first stepping stone towards it.

To clarify, the first part of this puzzle is to find the giveaway code for a private giveaway, which you can get from answering the questions above. So it looks like www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX. There are about 2-3 parts or stages to this puzzle, so the first part is finding the giveaway code. The parts after that consist of itstoohard puzzles.

1 day left to get to the giveaway
1(?) person made it to stage 2
Also changed some hints, hope it helps
Comment has been collapsed.
Day 5: Only one person solved the entire puzzle (kudos to him/her). Only one more day till it ends
Comment has been collapsed.
man... doesnt look like i am gonna spend anymore time on this. for me the questions and hints are too vague to even get an idea. I am too messed up in my mind right now to answer any of these.
To OP: can you please provide answer to the 1st giveaway code thing when it is completed so we can see how the puzzle was supposed to be worked out?

Last day to solve, only ~19 hours to go, and one solver

SOLUTIONS POSTED AT BOTTOM
So I finished my last Math midterm exam on Wednesday. Being in a Institute of Technology type school, it's some pretty difficult math, but I did it, so to celebrate, I've created a tricky puzzle giveaway for everyone here.
However, instead of using this website to make a puzzle like many others, I've decided to stick with the old classics: basically I give you 5 questions/statements, and the first letter/number of the answer for each question corresponds to a letter or number that is part of the giveaway code (Which is like www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX).
For example, if the question I asked was "Who’s that dude on a horse who warned his neighbors that the British soldiers are arriving?", the answer would be Paul Revere, and the letter P is the first letter for the giveaway code. And with that explanation, let us begin, and watch out, there might be a trick or two in this puzzle.
Hints
Stage 1:
SOLUTION TO PUZZLES
Stage 1:
Who’s that dude on a horse who warned his neighbors that the British soldiers are arriving? (Paul Revere: P was italicized in example question above. Was actually the REAL first question, followed by the other questions except for the supposed #5.)
Wow. Many tricks. So difficult. Much gibway. (doge)
That giraffe thinks he’s so classy with his kitten pictures and upvotes. (imgur)
Past, Present, Future; Heaven, Earth Hell; Length, Width, Height (3)
Hakuna MaTaTa’s (Possibly NSFW???) (Boobs)
True or False: The answer to this question is part of the giveaway code (False: This question had nothing to do with the giveaway code and was created to keep you off track, as I attempted to hint about)
After a little brute forcing and google-fu, you should have gotten Pdi3B, which led to a private giveaway that ended a while ago. Looking at the comments, I made a recent post hinting of a hidden puzzle somewhere. Looking at the source and finding the puzzle should lead here
Stage 2:
After solving the itstoohard puzzle, you should've gotten a giveaway code: 8033e. However, it lead to another ended private giveaway. I then told you to go back and check your answers. If you do check, there are 5 questions and 5 answers for each question, which implies that the answers might be a giveaway code. If you input the characters as giveaway codes, you finally reach the end of the giveaway: 6w3Ys (note I did not realize that itstoohard disregards uppercase + lowercase answers, so a little brute force was required)
By the way, this be my first puzzle, HUEHUEHUE
