Well, the GA is over, I'm thankful it wasn't a game I was interested into. Now, do we get the solutions? I'm curious about that :D

Yeah, the fact that the symbols came from Stargate really flew over my head, not that I would have made the connection between where the symbols came and what the solution had to be were tied to each other. Thanks for posting the solution! :)

Ooh, I see! I ended up a bit too sidetracked redoing last celebratory puzzle, though truthfully, I don't think I would have gotten to the joke even if I realized what you meant. Can't solve em all, I suppose.
Still, thank you for the fantastic puzzle! Was real fun to cut my teeth over for a week.

Hello,
I recently celebrated my 7th anniversary here on SG (well, on 19th May, so recently might be a stretch), and I'm at 99 games given away, so I thought it's time to make it a nice round 100. Oh, and I've recently got promoted at work, so there's that, too.
To celebrate these, I thought why not create a puzzle for you? 3 reasons to celebrate, 3 questions to be answered. Simple as that.
Details of the giveaway:
You can share hints with other users here, but please do not share full answers. I might add some hints if really needed.
Good luck!
Community hint 1: Check out Dog's comment for part 1.
Hint 1: The descriptions on the ITH pages are hints for the solutions.
Hint 2: Added an extra sentence for Q2 in Part 1, hope it helps instead of confusing you more.
Hint 3: If you are stuck at Part 2, you might find it helpful to check out my story-based puzzle.
Solutions
Part 1
Q1: You had to use Base32 to text decoding to get some coordinates. If you plotted the them, you got a deer (see below picture). So the answer was a deer (all accepted solutions: deer, a deer, antler, antlers, an antler).
Hint in the description: dear (which sounds like deer).
Q2: It was a bit trickier, the solution was February. According to Wikipedia (and some other sites as well), February andh January was not part of the ancient Roman calendar, they were added later to the end of the calendar (in 713 BC) and later on January and February got moved to the beginning of the calendar (around 450 BC). So for a few centuries February was the last month and now it is second. The sentence about water and fish referred to Aquarius and Pisces, as beginning of February belongs to Aquarius, while the ned belongs to Pisces. The later added last sentence (sibling who is third = March) referred to Mars, as March was named after Mars (also the word 'martial' is coming from 'Mars'). The big family referred to the calendar (12 months).
Hint in the description: diary (as in the diary you write months as well).
Part 2
Q1: Those symbols are from Stargate SG-1 series, they are written in the Ancients' language. If you decoded them, you got these numbers: 849310 662353 905700. Those are the IDs of 3 DLCs: 849310, 662353, 905700. You only needed 1 name from each of them: Serpent, Horus and Seth. To connect them, you had to know that the symbols are from Stargate SG-1, and knowing that you could Google a jaffa joke presented by Teal'c. Unfortunately I could not find a DLC with the name Setesh in it, so I had to use Seth.
Hint in the description: 3 DLCs.
