Hints


I don't receive feedback so I reckon this puzzle is a bit tricky. So take some hints.

Q1 Where could I've possibly written my name for everyone to see other than my username?
Q2 Star Wars.
Q3 Movie reference.
Q4 I'll give you the D.
Q5 TV show character catchphrase.
Q6 Ever heard of reverse image search?
Q7 C'mon... That doesn't need a hint.

The answers


Noone solved the puzzle and even if the GA didn't end noone is asking for hints, so I deleted the invite GA and made it public. The 3 people that solved it already own the game unfortunately.

Here are the answers.

Q1 What about anonymity?
The only place foryou to access more information about me is my steam profile where I have written What about anonymity? in the real name section of the profile.

Q2 Mog; Barf; Barfolomew
It is a scene from the Star Wars parody Spaceballs where the character Barf(olomew) is asked what he is and he responds: I'm a mog. Half man, half dog. I am my own best friend!

Q3 Lamp; Desk; Carpet
One of the most memorable scenes from Anchorman.

Q4 Damned
Mary is one of the playable monsters in the game. You had to look at the games I own to find it out or just google the right keywords to get this.

Q5 Kenny Powers
I was looking for the person that said it. Kenny Powers is from the TV show Eastbound & Down, which is awesome btw.
And "You're fucking out" is the character catchphrase in the series from the time where he was playing in the baseball leaque.

Q6 Tomoo Gokita
Just use reverse image search and you'd find out that the image is a painting by the great japanese artist Tomoo Gokita. Love his art.

Q7 Heisenberg
You haven't seen the show? You haven't seen all the posters online? That's just sad.

Feedback .. err .. well, i got all but 1, 3 and 7.

1 & 7: i have to think about them some more i guess.
3: i simply do not know. There was something that came into my mind instantly, but it was wrong.
Maybe you could tell if you want the "I love" in the answer, too, or just what is coming next?

I was actually watching this thread carefully expecting more hints (2, 3 and 4) :P Maybe the lvl 2 requirement was too much?
Nevertheless, thanks for the GA!

At least you could enter the public one. Yeah, lvl 2 isn't really common with puzzles, but since a 1 cent game is enough to reach lvl 1 I wanted to make sure the right people get the chance to win, although I'm not lvl 2 myself.
And I just compared my puzzle to others where people gave feedback on how much answers they've got and actually asked for hints. Since I got no reactions at all I figured that noone seems to care really. Gotta use this to make a better puzzle next time tho. :)
