Fours all up in this bitch, yo! (Updated version for extra fourception) So here's four giveaways!

For those of you not in the know on how to deal with these, you just answer my questions and you type in the first letter or number of the answer into the correct X slot of the website address. If the answer is capitalised (say, a person's name), so is the letter. Get all of the answers right and you get into the giveaway. The game is Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, which is worth 5 points, and it ends in two weeks. Google should be all you need. Asking for assistance on Yahoo Answers is not allowed. If I find you doing so, you will find the giveaway re-rolled if you ever win. Good luck!

  1. In Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, each of the seven evil exes he must defeat has a number, found in the environment throughout the film. What is Scott's number? (Hint 1: Pepsi's disgusting. What do real heroes drink?)

  2. Han Solo: a dashing, charming smuggler, maybe even having a characteristic shared by Luke's flight group? (Hint 1: Han strikes me as the kind of guy to do it from behind.) (Hint 2: If Darth Vader is a tank, Obi-Wan is DPS, 2-1B is the healer, what class would Han be?)

  3. A goat? Or perhaps a child? Who can tell? (Hint 1: MmmBAAAAA!???)

  4. Androids under concealment? Greater than at first glance. (Hint 1: Don't think literally. Down that path lies madness.) (Hint 2: They're pretty much always in their Prime.)

  5. Makes a loud bang; really awesome; failed in the box office. (Hint 1: Not actually a movie.) (Hint 2: It is often used in movies though.)

Edit: Second giveaway is up for Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, worth 10 points and lasting for two weeks! If you haven't figured it out by now, you have to solve each giveaway in turn to get to the next.

Edit: Fourth giveaway is up! Frozen Synapse, worth 25 points and lasting for two weeks!

Current entry numbers (not a tally of how many have beaten the puzzle, just how many have entered):

Steel Storm: Burning Retribution: 18 entries (closed).

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne: 25 entries (closed).

Defense Grid: The Awakening: 13 entries (closed).

Frozen Synapse: 6 entries (closed).


LIGHTNING ROUND

There's now a lightning round, but I am totally out of ideas for a puzzle. So now, you have to find the hidden link scattered throughout this entire event. One letter at a time. Prize is Frozen Synapse. Two days until it closes. Anyone who succeeded in getting to the final puzzle giveaway can contact me for free entry.

Frozen Synapse: 8 entries.

Only know the first one. Either haven't seen the movies dealing with other questions (such as Star Wars) or simply don't get them.

2 doesn't require any Star Wars knowledge (it's not even in the films anyway), just the right Google words. 3 is a play on words. 4, I'm working on more hints to that won't outright spell it out (it's probably really difficult without a knowledge of pop culture). 5 is exactly what it looks like.

So far the choice of games has saved me the need to exercise my brain. Already have these three games.

Bump. Five days left for Steel Storm. What's the hardest questions? I'll add a few more hints.

The hardest questions are 2, 4 and 5. 1 and 3 are pretty easy. I think I've figured out 2, but I'm not sure.

I don't see how 5's difficult. It's a very common word. Still, added hints for all three.

21 hours left for Steel Storm. Those who have solved it, I have a question. Once a giveaway is over, should I post the link to it, so that people can work on the next puzzle without solving the opening one?

It's really not that hard. You added a lot of hints. People just need to put in a bit of effort

4 is easy, even without the clues ^^ (i'am a diehard fan of it), but yeah i can't bother about the others ^^

For 2, is the answer either a tank, DSP, or healer? And I have no idea for 4. Interestingly, it looks like 4 is either very obvious, or very hard for some people.

Why would Han be any one of those? Think about the characters and the classes I listed.

I don't play those games so I'm not familiar with the tank, DPS, healer things. Googling them only shows the 3, and doesn't have a 4th one. Also, any more hints for the 4th one?

Google some of the other keywords in that question and you'll get a massive Google result with the class name and answer all over the place.

If you're not familiar with them, ignore the hints, they will only confuse you. Google should come through if you just search the right part of the question.

I've decided that I'll unlock a giveaway for the public only after the one after that has closed. That way, it's a good balance between letting people to the next one and rewarding those who could keep up.

Oh great, another "puzzle" of the "think like I do or you won't get it" kind. No thanks, maybe I'd enjoy it if I was a movie dork, but good luck to all you guys.

No, it's a puzzle of "weed out the dumbasses who don't know how to Google" kind. Thank you for proving its success.

It says "One letter at a time" so I don't think it's a full giveaway link.If I am wrong feel free to say so.
So glad I own Frozen Synapse already.

Yes, there's five links scattered throughout this page and the closed giveaways. Each one contains 4 X's and a single, correct letter. You need all five letters and place them in the correct order (as shown in each link). For example, if the second letter was b, the link would be XbXXX.
