I'll separate this from the main thread so that you puzzle lovers can find it more easily.

Not Skyrim! [OVER]

Hint 1: You should look at it from one side... and then another side.
Hint 2: The size of the grid is chosen to make the puzzle a bit easier.
Hint 3: The order of symbols can be deduced from the attachment to the puzzle. what(how)
Hint 4: Did you notice that both the first row and the first column are blank? Yep, only standard stuff here.
Hint 5: It's as simple as 0 and 1!
Hint 6: The answer to the puzzle has 18 symbols... 6 of them are not in any way related to the game given away.

Giveaway was here!
Solution: Here!

14 solvers, 7 entries, 1 winner :P.

Damn, it's so frustrating! ^_^ I think I'm almost there, but I can't get the order of the symbols right.

The order is in the "attachment". If the result is meaningless, you probably have wrong symbols.

Yeah, since no combination I tried worked, it looks like I got the wrong characters. And I probably misunderstood the role of the 'markers' on the sides of the grid, too.

Two more hints. I know you can do it. Even more hints tomorrow if that's too hard for you.

Edit: tomorrow begins when this comment becomes "1 day ago..."

Edit2: no, it's not hard for you. hints will only appear Dec 30.

I never know what to do with the strings of letters.

I am new too, but in a puzzle I did yesterday you could put the letters in this link www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/code
So instead of code you put a few letters and numbers, for instance Z2XH5 would make www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Z2XH5. This link would then take you to the giveaway.

I am not sure if this is the way all puzzles go though.

Nope. It is not the case here. Of course, you do get a /giveaway/????? link eventually, but it's not encoded in the picture.

Yep. Bonus points if you can find the Star of David.

Yes, there is exactly one swastika in there. Also a sideways 8(or B)(or ∞?!), an H(or a mirrored Ю), a sideways C(or regular П), the logo of Arx Fatalis(well, almost)(also the unlock pattern on my Android), a diagonal 8(or B)(or ∞ again), and fairly obvious 4(y?), 9(g?), H, 2, u...

Unfortunately, none of these symbols bring you any closer to the solution.

Can't figure out what to do with the attached code, it's a sad, sad situation. :<

Hmmm, using the hints and attachment I managed to get to a 8 symbols string but I can't use it as hash for the common puzzle related sites.

You need to find 18 symbols in there. And when combined with the attachment, they will tell you where to go.

They have the same meaning as all the other stripes =P

It's the whitespace that is interesting there.

hmm, i got 18 symbols code, then i got 4 symbols which can't be a giveaway code, so its maybe itstoohard puzzle link, but it doesn't works too

If the 18 symbols do not make sense they are wrong.

My brain hurts, i've been spining the picture around in photoshop like a mad man.
Tried lots of different things, don't think i can write about them since some of them maybe are the correct way to think about the puzzle.
And the order in the attachment doesn't tell me a thing, i don't know what those symbols represent nor those letters -_-
