Choose carefully: "Yay! Puzzle time!" or "Meh, puzzles" (1st solution)

So a puzzle with 4 stages, each leading to a game. The first part is pretty standard, but I hope the rest is more thought provocative! It's not really a masterpiece, but I do hope you'll find some enjoyment in this. :)

All 4 games come from this list, so enter at your own risk. There is one from a bundle, and the rest are not. CV of $40 is required for all the games! The first game will run until Sunday, then the next stages until Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. All end at 6pm GMT+1.

If you have any questions, I will be here to answer (in a more cryptic-than-necessary way). And like always: no sharing, linking, hinting, taking breaks, ...

Good luck!

Edit: First giveaway is over: Serious Sam 3 (BFE).
For the new puzzle people who didn't know where to look, or where to put what they found, a little explanation. A lot of the times when there is no apparent link in the description of puzzles, they are hinting in the "source code". Right-click a webpage, and choose "view page source" (or something along those lines). Then you would find: http://0r4Nw, a link to nowhere. But you can use this code in any giveaway page here on SG, and it will show you the prize: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/0r4Nw!

EDIT 2: Still two giveaways open!

If only I knew how to solve puzzles when there's nothing that seems to indicate that there's a puzzle. Best of luck to everyone else, though.

I know where to look, but what I found seems useless as I don't know where to use it, if it is supposed to work with itstoohard, then either I'm doing something wrong or there's something missing....

You're right, you don't use it on It's Too Hard. But you don't have to look far to know where to use it. :)

So, not a lot of excitement for this. Puzzles are passé? What's the next big thing then?

Maybe the first step was too easy for people to bother to respond? I dunno, I try them all when I see them.

How much bruteforcing is required? I found something, but it didn't work :(

No bruteforcing required. All of the puzzle pieces are there. Just a little bit of thinking is required. :)

CthuluIsSpy

The one on the Serious Sam page.

I was talking about the first part.
I found the link in the source, and it kept giving me a invalid GA error.

Now I'm stuck on the 4th sequence.

It is not a sequence like the others. You have to look at it in pieces. Try to figure out why x=y in the first instance. Then try it on the second, and if that works, try it on the third, fourth, and finally the fifth. You can't look at it with the whole sequence, just each part separately.

Dunno what to do with the numbers, I was thinking in searching for them into the source but I think I'm not doing the right thing.

The numbers have nothing to do with the source code. But they are some kind of code...
