Ok, puzzle's over, looks like I should type an explanation... The short version is look at all the other key dump puzzles, it's the same thing every time. :)

Umm, let's see. The question at http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/l72JBedH says I'm gonna be..., and the hint is That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned... Umm...

I'm gonna be could mean anything, and that hint is either quoting Haile Selassie's address to the United Nations, 1963 or some Bob Marley song. Maybe that's enough to see the answer, but probably not. Oh well, keep going.

Since it's one of those dumb key dump puzzles, we know we have to look at the keys. There's some sort of message or clue or something hiding in there, same as every other time. Taking a look at those keys... Hmm...

The first letter in each one spells "IAMONTHEROCKANDTHENICHECKASTOCK" and the last letter in each one spells "HINTSOMETHINGLIKESONGLYRICSHINT" - looks kinda like words, or something. Sadly there are no spaces in Steam keys, so you will have to guess where the words are.

Hopefully you decide on "I AM ON THE ROCK AND THEN I CHECK A STOCK" and "HINT SOMETHING LIKE SONG LYRICS HINT" since if you come up with "I AM ON THE ROCK AND THE NICHE CKA STOCK" you're not getting any free stuff. :)

So, now that we have some words, we google that phrase and get... Oh, it's song lyrics. By Bob Marley.

I am on the rock and then I check a stock
I have to run like a fugitive to save the life I live
I'm gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion
I'm gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion
Iron Lion Zion
I'm on the run but I ain't got no gun
See they want to be the star
So they fighting tribal war
And they saying Iron like a Lion in Zion
Iron like a Lion in Zion
Iron Lion Zion

Well, that's promising.

Going back to the itstoohard thing http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/l72JBedH we should know what to type now.

I'm gonna be... IRON LIKE A LION IN ZION ? Yep. The song title IRON LION ZION also works. Yay.

Thanks for playing, everyone! And try to remember how these dumb key dump puzzles work, since I'll do this again some time. Oh, there's another puzzle running for Vampire: The Masqueradeยฎ - Bloodlinesโ„ข 2 in this thing here: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/uWiYM/bloodlines-2-hooray-l3 :) Good luck! :)


Edit 15 March:

Oh, hey, here's some more leftover keys. Maybe it's a hint, and maybe I'm just dumping leftover crap in the forum. Does it really matter, though? Free stuff!

Hurry, before the other guy's bots redeem them! :)

Original message:

Hello, it's another one of those dumb key dump puzzles. For, umm, a game I guess. Not starring Malcolm McDowell. Any ideas? Yeah, that's the one.

Not so many keys this time, I'm pretty lazy. I keep doing these manually for some reason. Would be easier to script the whole key-finding thing, but if I did that I'd run out of leftover keys... Eventually... Maybe I'll add some more keys later, but we'll see how it goes... :)

Oh, and there's a consolation giveaway if you can't solve the puzzle. That game probably sucks, though. Although... Maybe they both suck? Who knows? Not me, I never play this stuff. And not you either, since you already gave up on this stupid puzzle... :)

Dumb puzzle in here! Good luck! :)

p.s. Don't worry about those funny-looking characters in the middle, they aren't part of the puzzle. It's just to slow down bot redeemers... :) Maybe next time I'll make a gif of the keys or something... And if you're noticing this message hours later all the keys will be used, don't bother. Just work on the puzzle. :)

Good luck for people who know how to solve it. I'm too dumb.

Ahh, sorry... If you're talking about those funny-looking letters in the middle of the keys i.e. ๐”ธ๐”นโ„‚๐”ป๐”ผ๐”ฝ๐”พโ„๐•€๐•๐•‚๐•ƒ๐•„โ„•๐•†โ„™โ„šโ„๐•Š๐•‹๐•Œ๐•๐•Ž๐•๐•โ„ค๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿš๐Ÿ›๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ๐Ÿž๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿก, in this particular puzzle they don't actually mean anything. You'd need to use them to redeem the keys of course, but for the puzzle you can safely ignore them. It's just something to slow down key redeeming bot users a little. :) They have to change those funny letters to normal letters, which should give regular humans get a chance for some free games too... :)

There's no ASCII stuff going on in this one, either. That's too much effort, and I was feeling pretty lazy... :)

The original batch of keys has the answer to the itstoohard puzzle, somehow or other. And hopefully the second batch of keys looked funny, and made people look at the first batch again, in case they hadn't noticed whatever it is... :)

Ahh, he's just some actor person, don't worry about it... :) The "consolation giveaway" might give a hint, assuming you've ever heard of the movie before. The hidden giveaway is something with a similar name, sorry this is all a bit vague... :) Don't want to spoil everything before the giveaways are over... :)

I'll add some puzzle explanation once things are finished, next weekend or so... But really, "look at the keys" is the main idea for these key dump puzzles I keep doing. Generally you find something unexpected, either it's the answer itself or it's something you google to get the answer. So if you don't notice the unexpected thing, you're screwed. And if you do notice it, but don't know what to do with it, you're also screwed... Sorry! :)

I looked at the keys but like all the words are ok but the penultimate word is like no word. More like an error. Trying to use this as an answer or googling it but there is nothing so I tried the same with the whole sentence without what I think is an error but still got nothing.

Well I will have to wait to see how someone solved it.

I assume you already know this, but here's a general hint for Steamgifts puzzles: look at their profile. If you see an "Invite Only" giveaway running, that's probably the reward for solving the puzzle. If there are zero entries, maybe the puzzle is too difficult or has an error or whatever, but if there are a lot of entries, you know at least that many people solved it. Of course if it's an "itstoohard" puzzle you don't need to fool around like that and can just look at the statistics. :)

Right now this one has "98 solvers" and 52 entries in the secret giveaway, so I dunno what to suggest, sorry... Hope you get a random brain wave, or maybe it's a dumb game and you wouldn't want to enter the giveaway anyway... :) Good luck! :)

Thank you for all the info.

I gave up. I hope someone else will win it :)

CKA means nothing for me while the rest of the words make sense. No use trying to figure out what CKA stands for.

Ahhhh, I see the problem, which is my fault... :)

Since there are no spaces in Steam keys everyone has to guess where the words end, and it sounds like you've found the right letters, but you've split them into words incorrectly... Can't think of any way to hint better without simply telling you (and all the lurkers listening...) what to type... :( Sorry... :(
