So I've been solving puzzles here with moderate success and finally decided to try myself at creating one.
Here you go:

5) 01101101 01001011 00110100 01101011 01100011
4) 122 99 55 80 115
3) Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't Explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
2) ZTVWR0M=
1) 43 67 78 36 44

Hint:
diagonal (noun) :
A straight line which joins two opposite corners of a four-sided flat shape, such as a square

Solution:

Each hint should give you five characters code. Hints #1,#2,#4 and #5 can be decoded using this little thing. 5 is binary, 4 is ASCII, 2 is base64 and 1 is hex. In #3 you're just supposed to spot the bold letters. So here's what you get:
mK4kc
zc7Ps
ybEef
e5VGC
Cgx6D

That's 5,4,3,2,1 so don't forget to put it the right order 1,2,3,4,5. You'll get:
Cgx6D
e5VGC
ybEef
zc7Ps
mK4kc

Now let's look at the quote in #3. It's from the movie The Matrix. Not only that but the answer to the last question in the quote is actually "The matrix". You got before yourself a 5x5 square made of symbols and numbers aka square matrix. That quote was a hint to reassure you that you're on the right way :)
And then you just look at the pattern I gave and see where you can fit it. Or you look at the hint I gave later. There are only two choices - it's either slash diagonal or backslash diagonal, but look at the pattern again. The second character is a number and the only number that's second is in the second row. So the code for the giveaway is C5EPc. The game was Thief: Deadly Shadows.

It was my impression that asking for and posting hints in the thread is quite unsporting. It's not that hard; lots of people already solved it. However, I'm going to give one major hint sometime shortly before the end of the giveaway so don't give up. :)

I think I have to give this up. :( I know how to start and I managed to get something, but don't have any idea what to do next (tried a lot of different things).

You are supposed to solve the puzzle and that gives you some letters and numbers. You then put the letters and numbers where the Xs and # are in this link: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/X#XXx (The X is a capital letter, the # is a number and the x is a lowercase letter).

My reaction when I realised what Skullripper was trying to do.

Yeah, I get that part, but when I decode each one, I get not one, but many letters and/or numbers. So I tried playing with them in the link but still nothing.

Edit: Finally found it.

No problem mate, it's good of you that you tried to help me and I thank you for that.

Awesome :D I like it when people accept what is obviously help on the internet as help rather than the helper sublimally saying 'Hey N00B L2Puzzle' or whatever

Totally agree, had my fair share of those "Noob" comments in my life, that's why I thank when it's really someone trying to help me.

Still don't know what 1) is supposed to be. Those numbers simply do not represent any characters.
