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 Masquerade® - Bloodlines™ 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. :)

I tried 1 and it was for Enigmatis 2 which I already own, then tried several more which were all dupes. Is it okay to tell publicly which key still works? by the looks of it, all are for E2, is that right?

Umm, I wouldn't have wasted everyone's time with 130 keys for Enigmatis 2. The only Enigmatis 2 key was 6MD3L-BF𝟞D0-EIT56. :)

Taking a look here... Sorting... Some games were in here twice (!4RC4N01D! 2: Retro Edition, Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded, Bit-Boom, Defend the Planet, Dungeons of the dead, Kingdom Defense) but the rest of the games were unique. That's mainly because I was too lazy to keep track of which games I'd already added. :)

Sorry! :) The returns counter is over there... :)

I can guess that at this point, i.e. several hours later, every key has been used. I have to guess because there's no way to know simply by looking at them. If you try to redeem a key and it works, that was a previously unused key. If you try and it doesn't work, that was an already used key. Oh well. :)

Here's the (current) full list. Let's hope word-wrap works in here... :)

I think since it said "you already have this game" instead of "dupe key", it means that the key wasn't used yet. So I was wondering if I was allowed to save someone's time by posting it (but you did it)

No, unfortunately that's not how redeeming a key works on Steam. There's nothing you can do to test if a Steam key is used or not. You can only try to use it.

If you don't own the game, and redeeming the key works, then you know it was a previously unused key. But now it's used, because it's just been added to your account. :(

If you don't own the game, and you get the "duplicate product code" message, you know that key's already been used. Darn ninjas... :)

If you do own the game, the message might make you think the key is still good, if you're not aware of what's going on. However, when you already own the game, the message you get from trying an unused key, and the message you get from trying a used key is the exact same message. :(

I think we'd all love for Valve to change this, and give us a way to test our keys. But I'm not holding my breath...

Aha, thank you! :) I was going to add some more keys to this for one final bump, but decided to say screw it and put them in the other puzzle instead... :)
