I've finally done it...

I've achieved the goal I've been striving toward for over a month. I've finally... got 5 more expected wins than wins. It was a long and difficult journey, but it was worth it.

Oh, and it's my birthday. Whatevs.

So, now that my annoying and unfunny joke intro is out of the way, here's a puzzle giveaway thing-a-ma-bob. Each of the following links/math problems/trivia questions will give you one of the characters for a giveaway URL. So take http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX/thanks-for-skyrim and replace the XXXXX with the characters you find.

The giveaway is for the absurdly long named Time Gentlemen Please! and Ben There Dan That! Special Edition Double Pack. There's no contributor value, and it runs until 6 PM Eastern Daylight Time of August 19th.

Character 1: What animal is this? The answer is a lower case letter.

Character 2: These nasty lizard aliens keep invading Earth. And they'll do it again if the show is re-booted again. :( Lower case letter.

Character 3: 75 X 3 - 217 = ?

Character 4: What's the (tentative) name of this game? OK, this is very easy. Capital letter.

Character 5: What "rudie" gang does Beat belong to? This is from a game that was released on Steam somewhat recently, but was released for a console over a decade ago. The answer is a capital letter, once you know what the gang is, the letter will be obvious.

P.S. If I don't respond to a comment along the lines of "I'm stuck on character 3..." or "Hint pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease." it's not because I hate you (though it is possible I do in fact hate you), it will probably be because I'm out engaging in feats of debauchery that shall ring down through the annals of time as a seriously overboard feat of debauchery. I'll try to reply to stuff on the 18th, if I haven't already.

Note: Debauchery may consist entirely of me playing Phoenix Wright: Justice for All for seven hours.
