Q1 - Stick to the format, google is your friend here; try >two words, two words, two words and so on<

Q2 - Two words

Q3 - ...

Q4 - One word answer. I thought it was obvious, but it seems to be misleading which I didn't realize, oh well.

Q5 - One word

Q6 - The lesser you'll look, the more you'll see :)

No biggie though five oughta be two words. Not a grammar thing, it's just the accepted answer changes the meaning into something broad from a very specific term---use it and everyone knows exactly what you're talking about (at the time anyway).

That is why it is a puzzle!

I don't mean everyone who is taking the puzzle. Everyone from the era. Anyone using that term is referring to a very specific thing and they all understand that. That very specific connotation gets lost when you truncate that term like you do, because together the words refer to something far bigger than any one object. Basically even though it seems interchangeable, the generalized answer isn't really correct anymore. It materially distorts the meaning.

Like I said, not a big deal. Doesn't effect the quiz or stop anyone. Its just a distinction I find important enough to acknowledge though.

x, x or
x. x Two-Face.
I know the answers but nothing works.

And that #1 is also tough.

I think most puzzle solvers appreciate to know the game title(s) being the reward(s) for solving the puzzle up front. That way, people who already own the game(s) won't get disappointed, and those who aren't interested in the game can look at other puzzles/giveaways.

If it's a hard puzzle, and someone who wouldn't have been interested in the game if they knew it from the start (a game they might never want to play) solves it, they might enter anyway, just for the chance of a "consolation price" for spending the time solving the puzzle. So, for a higher chance of winners who actually want the game, writing what game it is in the description can be a good thing.

Yeah that's what I meant to say, I messed up that question. The blank was to signify a one word answer, and the quote was following that. I think I'll edit it to make it simpler.

Tried before hints and without google: 0 solved

what i have learned: people like to look on google for hours and hours to look for the obscurest things and try dozens of answer variations, but finding a few pixelated avatars in a very specific place....no way :P

I give up now. Took numerous attempts, but still got stuck on #1 and #3. At least 500 guesses are mine.
For #1 I know there's movie called Tiker Tailor Soldier Spy. Tried various combinations of characters from Wikipedia.
For #3 Googled but only could get either Madara from Naruto or Three eyed monster from Doodle ninja jump. Seriously there would be always someone who doesn't know.
Anyways nice puzzle.

Oh man, don't give up! You're really, really, really close now for Q1, just try a bit more combinations and I'm sure you'll crack it! Check the first comment in the thread, I've updated the format and that should properly help.

As for 3, think in metaphors. The third eye is a metaphorical eye, but where would be the greatest possibility of the existence of three eyes and associated with stealth? It's a really common franchise, if this clue doesn't help you then I'm not sure what will :/

Q1. Look at the question and compare it to the article. Read it through.
Q3. Very popular franchise. Also take a look at some screenshots knowing what Hague said about 3 eyes - it's kind of metaphorical.

I read the article but I must have missed something obvious cause I have no clue at all to what Q1 could be. :/

Well I don't know how much I can tell, it's not my puzzle :/ All I can advice you is to take a look at all the answers, they have something in common except 1 question. Then read article carefully having in mind that it's about movies and games (and remember what almost all answers have in common).
