Well, since I just turned 25 today, and it seems customary to do giveaways on one's birthday, I figure I should join in on the tradition as well. Being my birthday, however, I can't just let it be that simple, so it's time for a party game (read:puzzle)!

This is actually going to be a straight-foward challenge. There won't be any itstoohard puzzles, or audio / video decryptions - just a simple 3-part picture puzzle. Now, the first piece I will be giving you gratus:
part 1

The other 2 parts, however, you must find on your own. Worry not though, bekause everything you need is mixed within this post. Now, while you could possibly solve it with just two of the three parts, finding the third will make it infiNitely easier. So with that said, good luck and happy treasure-huntinj!


It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyways: No cheating or sharing of the links
Prize: Awesomenauts
Deadline: Ends Feb 19th at midnight Est (5am GMT)

Not sure if we're missing any, since OP said that there were 3 images and since all of the images I found look the same XD

But, yeah I'm giving up, too. Too bad these crazy puzzles like this one and that elbow guy's always come late in night in my timezone >.<

I think the "explanation image" he mentioned is the freebie I gave. In all, there are just three.

Ah, right. I thought it's another image since he used 'an' :P

Alright, both my birthday and the giveaway are over, so thanks to all of those who participated. Now, being my first puzzle, I didn't want to make it challenging (maybe next time), but just in case anyone wants the solution anyways, here you go;

Part 1 was publicly visible,
Part 2 was in the source code,
Part 3 was broken up in the opening post in italics (imgur.com/o2kfNrj)

Taking the three images, you simply overlayed them on top of each other (transparency was done to make it slightly easier), resulting in this image. On the off-chance that you had a hard time reading a specific character (6 and G look slightly similar), "Excess" was bolded in the original post as to clue you in on the font used (which also doubled as a red-herring).
