00:06:23 -- I've connected two pieces together!!!!! :D :D :D
...you cruel, cruel, hilarious man.
(Zooming around on the full image kinda reminds me of the lunar landscape... lunacy... appropriate... okay... back to it!)
[edits]
00:06:39 -- two more! :D
00:13:11 -- first three-piece connection!
00:14:29 -- five-piece!
00:29:10 -- left edge done!
00:33:40 -- all edges done!... ... ...except for one piece. all other pieces sorted into 16 piles by shape (possibly one of the dumber ways to sort them early on?)
00:38:14 -- missing piece found! -- all edges done! :D
00:44:47 -- first inner piece attached to the outer edge!
01:08:08 -- ten inner pieces, and the going is sloooow :P :D
01:35:49 -- 101 pieces together (including edges)... starting to get hungry...
02:00:00 -- I'm getting distracted... the TV is turned on now... I forgot which stack of pieces I was going through...
[break to get food and let a cat sleep on me... back at it again! (unpause) oh god, why am I doing this again?!]
02:22:00 -- so many pieces that almost fit in so many places...
02:50:00 -- (before that actually, but I'm at a pausing point) finally have at least one piece in every corner! right side took a while...
03:06:42 -- my finger hurts...
03:15:06 -- new strategy of bringing the frame to the stack is slightly easier...
03:28:55 -- I think I'm making some progress on this dolphin... or is it an elephant?... really blurry zebra...? sooo much graaay!!!
03:36:24 -- new strategy's downfall... I can't remember what stack of pieces I already tried where anymore... back to the old strat? ...oooor break! :D
[long break... got some rest, read some other posts here, and don't care -- going to finish this massive mass of grey!]
04:12:23 -- starting to separate some of the stacks into individual pieces...
04:16:18 -- left side is a full three pieces thick... (played some Hearthstone for a bit between this and the last)
04:25:32 -- starting to be able to match pieces by shape and color (color?!) now, but still a long way to go
04:39:57 -- right side is two pieces thick...
05:21:53 -- definitely going faster being able to eyeball pieces now (left/right: 3 pieces thick, top/bottom: 2 pieces thick)
05:39:18 -- right side is four pieces thick now! :)
05:35:44 -- ditto left side
[another long break... finished The Room III and played dumb idle games on Android and ate lunch and dinner]
06:11:23 -- no more stacks, all the pieces are visible; right side's five pieces thick
06:13:21 -- placed a piece in the right spot without it being bordered by any other side pieces (it touched at three tips though)
06:48:36 -- right side is seven pieces thick... whole thing is feeling very accomplishable now
06:59:56 -- I think the filled-in gray now outnumbers the blank whiteness! (At least, definitely feels that way, not sure when it happened.)
07:01:40 -- I zoomed in one level and could still see all my pieces! :D
07:16:21 -- starting to match pieces up by comparing only one edge instead of two
07:21:30 -- another zoom! (cat on my lap is happy with me not doing anything else right now...)
07:30:06 -- right side's nine thick (cat is starting to get very insistent that I feed it...)
07:45:26 -- one of the sixteen sets (formerly stacks) is completely done!!!
07:57:38 (incidentally, it's also 7:57pm local) -- another two levels of zoom (and the cat is now fed)
08:03:49 -- found out yesterday that Breaking Bad had been completely remade in Spanish; totally passing the time with that now
08:16:52 -- two sets down, 48 pieces left; and while on the topic of TV, thanks for recommending Galavant a while back! Awesome show! :)
08:23:45 -- one 8x4 block of space left to fill! (and here I thought I'd have been driven completely insane by now...)
08:29:29 -- FINISHED!!! ...eight hours, eh? where's my paycheck? oh, there it is! that green Enter button! :D

So, for a while, I had this mischievous idea that if I ever made a Dark Souls puzzle it would be called Prepare to Cry and would involve a 400+ jigsaw of a concrete wall. Why? Overcoming challenge which initially seems insurmountable is a big part of these games, and I like my puzzles to be thematically linked to the giveaway.
The name Prepare to Cry, though, is already taken by a youtube series, but as for the rest... here you go. Look at the majesty of that wall. Actually, look at the original image, and soak up every little detail. Isn't it beautiful?
Lvl 1+, no SG Tools.

I'd say good luck, but luck is a dumb stat. Good endurance instead.
Solution/Final thoughts:
Most of you did the needlessly cruel jigsaw. I certainly underestimated people's resolve.
There was another solution, though. All you needed to do was examine the wall more closely ("every little detail", remember?). And sooner or later you'd've found this giveaway code. Well, sooner than 3 to 10 hours, I should think.
