A few hints:

This isn't a multi-step xlate conversion exercise, don't let a quick binary conversion put you off.
If in doubt, search.
Parts of the pub smell of herring.
You don't need to come back to SteamGifts.com until you're told to.

I love the service you are using for your puzzle!

What?

It's not the first time when I get this message. Happens on serveral PCs. The service just don't like Germans. It thinks we all are robots. So I always need VPN or a proxy to bypass them...
Just wanted to mention that their service is great

Ah sorry about that, I thought I'd only used internationally available sites. If anyone is blocked completely by this then drop me a message on Steam.

Congrats to the two people that have completed this so far! I've added a few hints, it's my first puzzle and I included a quick binary step as it feels like a tradition here now - didn't realise it would put a lot of people off.

On the bright side, it seems I have lots of company as I sit baffled in this pub. :p

Yup, found the pub. Now, to get going further...

12 years ago

The pub is getting crowded. I think I'll just get wasted and forget why I'm even there.

Drinks all round!

Wow, I'm going to have to make the next one a bit easier!

12 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Maybe only two fields in the form this time.

I gave up when I couldn't figure out if the pub form was a distraction or not; and, if not, whether the "other" value value was important, or if I had just mucked up one of the other fields.

12 years ago

check out the final hint

12 years ago

That was up before I even started, and I can't see how it relates to any of the form fields. X(

Still enough time to give it another try. ;)

I went to San Fransisco 3 months ago.Didn't like it,everything is overpriced over their for the same crap they sell in my town which is like 3-4times less the price

12 years ago

I guess it's more fun when you can jump into other people's consciousness and smash up their car.

But only when you are a Driver!

Finally found my way out of the pub. Pretty close call, too! Thank you for the hunt :)
