Gather 'round, and hear my tale of woe! </hammy acting>

*gasps from the audience*

Almost a month ago, I entered two giveaways to win a game, both giveaways were made by the same person, and both ended at the exact same time. One giveaway was restricted to Level 3+, hidden behind an easy puzzle, and was for 5 copies. The other giveaway was for Level 5+, hidden behind a harder puzzle, and was for a considerable 30 copies.

I was very interested in this game, so I entered both of the giveaways. However, as the giveaways drew to a close, it became apparent that there would be only 30 entries for the 30 copy giveaway. So, I thought I would be smart and withdraw from the 5 copy giveaway (which saw 67 entries) in order to prevent a possible reroll situation (not concerned about points, the giveaways were only worth 1 point each). I opened up two windows, one of the 5 copy and one of the 30 copy, and in the final minute when there were still only 30 entries I removed myself from the 5 copy giveaway.

...or so I thought. I had inadvertently opened two windows of the 30 copy giveaway, and thus withdrew from the wrong one! By the time I realised my mistake, it was too late. The 30 copy giveaway ended with 29 entries, none of them mine. And thus ends the story of how I managed to lose a giveaway I had a 100% chance of winning.

I didn't spend any time moping about it, however. Instead, I was amused by my own incompetence, and wanted to share this tale with you, along with helping to promote the game and developer. Included below will be a giveaway for 5 copies of the game, as well as several other games I've purchased to sweeten the deal. NEW! Several new giveaways have been added below. ENDED

Before I proceed, I wish to thank the following people:
Tetsuj1n, for making the original giveaway which brought my attention to the game.
Tchii, for bringing Tetsuj1n's giveaways to my attention in the Winter Wonderland thread.
And the developer, FelGC, for making the games (and being an all around nice person).

The game is Think To Die 2, and it's a different sort of platformer. Instead of trying to survive the level, you have to find a way to kill yourself (or sometimes, yourselves). Sounds easy? Not always! I'm currently stuck on a relatively early level of Think To Die 2, but I've decided to leave it there until I've finished the original, Think To Die. Did I mention that Think To Die is free? No? Go get it!

"Think To Die" is a different and creative casual puzzle game where you have to find a way to die in order to pass the level. To do so, you have to master different situations, combine objects, and time your actions.

The game starts with a small introduction/tutorial. The more levels you pass, the harder they will become, the more players you will have to kill, the more you will have to think. Puzzle your way through over 145 levels. Furthermore, you have an option to skip any level in case you get stuck in one of them.

Meanwhile in all other games your main goal is to survive, in "Think To Die" its exactly the other way round. If you love puzzles, classic and old-fashioned entertaining games, then this might be one you would enjoy a lot.

The game itself was inspired by the Karoshi Series, adding new puzzle mechanics, interesting puzzles and a lot of new features.

Store (Demo available)

Think To Die 2 is a level based puzzle platformer with over 95 levels where your goal is to die. You usually accomplish this by smashing yourself with blocks, jumping into spikes or getting shot. Although it might seem very easy at first, you'll soon start to realize that as you progress and the more levels you pass, the harder it'll become. A fun game shaping up the a suicidal puzzler genre.

The game was designed to make you constantly think outside the box and find creative and new ways to kill yourself. As you progress you'll experience harder and harder levels, new items and objects.

About the game
Think To Die 2 follows the steps of Think To Die. Episode 2 however focuses much more on Quality than on Quantity. Every level has its own level design, and every puzzle challenges the player anew. The music from Part 1 was taken over and a few new background music tracks have been added. The game is now fully in 3D and the graphics have been completely changed. The puzzles are way harder to solve and some controls (like the click-teleportation controls) haven been improved and changed.

If you are at all interested in the Think To Die 2, but not ready to buy yet (why wouldn't you be, it's only $0.99 USD), please put it in your wishlist! Also try out the original Think To Die (free) or the demo for Think To Die 2.

Not sure why I reserved these. Last time I did one of these threads, I regretted not reserving posts, now I don't need them. Oh well.

What do you get if you multiply six by nine?

54, you get 42 when you multiply six by 7.

I don't know, the answer to all the other questions is 42. I guess we'll never find out if it was intentional or not. :v

Its a reference to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, where the earth (which is a super computer) concludes the ultimate question, to which the answer is 42, is "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"

Thanks, I never watched the movie, so I'm not really in the loop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You'd still be confused, even if you had. The movie never got far enough into the story for that part. You would have to have watched the tv series, read the books, or listened to the radio play for this one.

P.S. The radio play, in particular, is highly recommended.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! :)

To be fair, however, the actual "question to life, the universe, and everything" is not actually stated (directly) in the book. The "real" answer is in there, but you have to read between the lines to find it.

The really sad part is that I noticed my mistake seconds before the giveaway closed, I quickly tried to re-enter, but instead of getting the lovely yellow "Remove Entry" to replace the green "Enter Giveaway", I was instead greeted with an ugly red "Error" button.

You're more than welcome! You did a great thing. I had fun solving your puzzles (even if one clue was a little frustrating...), and you helped me to discover some new exciting games (including Think To Die 2)! Plus, how many times can one walk away with such an amusing story. ;)
