Привет. Есть вариант на более простое предложение чем 10x26x26x26x26. Можно открыть 2 первые буквы, на третью указать вариант из 2 букв, например 3 буква или "f", или "е". Четвертая (последняя буква) например от "a" до "o" и цифру скрыть. Итого 10x2x15=300 вариантов, что уже хоть как то приемлемо. Можно также, например, указать что буква под номером 3 гласная. Но решать тебе. З.Ы. Сжалься над нами ;-)

I don't get it, how are we supposed to do it without hints? ...is there a pattern or something?

I know where to start, but the steps afterward seem rather... difficult. I'm thinking I'll come back to this later, when I have some sort of earth-shattering epiphany.

Yes. There's a verb phrase ellipsis. He means every day we don't solve the puzzle, people will die. Oh dear...
(perhaps it misses a comma, never been too fond of commas myself)

To find a girl on the internet is easier than this.

This giveaway for L.A. Noire starts 18th of May and ends 26th of May.
You know where to start.

D (and only D) is a digit.
No, you are not supposed to bruteforce it.
"I think I made fish too hardcore"
Okay, after I got some sleep and looked at my puzzle once again I decided it may be a little too difficult. But you can still solve it. And every day you don't people will die, starting tonight. Oh, and I will also add hints to this post.
Because today is a special occasion (the day I add the first hint) you get five cryptic hints for the price of one!
Hints
Solution
By looking at the source of the page you can find 4 hidden links in this message (not counting hints).
First:
Sorry
You lose
Second:
Key to winning
12 40 25 44 10
Third:
Hint
When you lose, use 0b124 with a key.
Fourth:
Negative part of the key
It is 0b20
0b is a prefix for binary constants (Hint 2). 124 is 1111100 (01111100) in binary. Exactly five 1s, just like there are five letters in a giveaway code.
"When you lose" hints to the first link. You need to take a part of it that looks like a giveaway code and apply the binary mask to it. If you are not sure about adding the leading zero hint 5 tells you to flush right.

vANqAD7b
01111100
This leaves you with "ANqAD". But the hint tells you to use it "with a key". "The key" is in the second and third links.
First, there are five numbers. You need to add or substract them from the character codes of the letters. 20 (10100 in binary) is the "negative part", so you substract the first and the third and add the rest.
This results in 5vXmN. And there you have it.
With Hint 5 you don't need to concern yourself with getting the correct key or converting numbers to binary. Otherwise it is the same.
