Hey, the giveaways have ended, so it's safe to give the solution to the super difficult ultra-puzzle...

Well, perhaps it's not quite that difficult. Actually it's so not difficult I can quote the solution verbatim from the puzzle guide:

IMGUR DESCRIPTION - when puzzle maker is posting image from IMGUR (or other image sharing hosting) he may sometimes hide some info in page description for the file, but post link to img file otself, not to this page. In imgur it's quite easy to get to the page itself. you just have to delete .jpg from the link. If you're seeing image posted on ITH or other pages different than SG forum instead of link you will see image itself - in such a case right click image and choose "Show Image" - it will lead you to the site it's hosted on, and then proceed normally. As a practice try to find a HIDDEN TEXT in this image original page :>

So, umm, in case it's still too many words for you to bother with, you take "http://i.imgur.com/hIweFqs.jpg" and remove the ".jpg" part, leaving "http://i.imgur.com/hIweFqs" ... Umm...

Visiting the super difficult ultra-solution would reveal:

Y 2 s T C

See? What a difficult puzzle!

Hopefully you know what to do with Y 2 s T C. :) If not, you're probably browsing the wrong forum category... :)

Thank you for all the interesting messages, and congratulations to the winners! :) Better luck next time! :)


Original message:

No way! Bloodlines 2!! Hooray!!! :)

Are you excited too? No? Well, you're in the wrong puzzle then, so would you kindly get lost? :) Thank you! :) Mostly kidding... :)


Ok, now that's out of the way, woohoo! :) Did you wishlist it already? Or maybe already preordered it? Yeah, me too. Couldn't help myself.

Well, for everyone else... Unless this disappears from Steam before next Saturday, one lucky person is going to win a copy. Maybe you!

Ehh, probably not. I mean, you would have to solve a super difficult ultra-puzzle, and ain't nobody got time for that. Oh well. At least there's a consolation giveaway for the lazy people!

Also, by popular demand, some distracting but completely irrelevant leftover Steam keys masquerading as a puzzle hint!

And finally, some Neil Young lyrics that have nothing to do with this game. Couldn't think of any Smiths songs, sorry.

CONSOLATION GIVEAWAY!!!!

PUZZLE GUIDE!!!!!

Good luck! :)

Oh, I just remembered, I might be slow commenting due to trying Sekiro, assuming I remember to play it this weekend... Don't worry, I'll be back whenever with inane replies for everyone... :)

Random Steam Bloodlines games, pick one! For no reason, just seemed fun. And don't worry, I'm not giving away one of those non-vampirey games to troll you. Didn't think of it... Oh well. :)

It's about time. They're even getting the lead writer from the last game back! I'm not going to get too excited though, as most of the rest of the team is "new", but I'll absolutely keep an eye on this one. Hopefully it will be a worthy successor to one of the best CRPGs ever made!

The writer is actually the same guy that wrote the story for RE6. You should play that soon, preferably in co-op

Hopefully they don't get buried under the expectations and can just do their thing... :) Unless Bloodlines was great by accident, I think it should turn out ok... :)

Thank you! :)

I was hyped at best, but that kinda passed when I read it is being made by developers whose previous games barely scored 50% on metacritic.
I mean, I still keep my fingers crossed, but worst case scenario I will still have my Jeanette.

Maybe, which might make it even worse that you barely scored 50% there.

Well, I don't care what they made before, it's Bloodlines 2! :) So if it turns out to suck next year, I'll feel bad next year... For now I'm going to be happy... :)

Looks like the "Deluxe" and "Blood Moon" editions come with a Jeanette outfit. Probably not going to look the same on the player, though... Oh well... :)

Thank you! :)

  • a publisher that made 100+ DLCs!!! Although I like the header for the game on Steam Store, looks great! I've not played the 1st game but I've heard alot or rave reviews about it. It certainly is very exciting. I do agree with you that the game does weigh more towards failing, Paradox though does make good games and I really do not know the approach for this, hopefully at max is 3 Expansions/DLCs like Witcher. Cheers!

Kind of a late reply but still...
for me, frustration from puzzles is part of the fun, there are multiple which I haven't solved. But I do hope they didn't get frustrated to a breaking point 😃 (I remember throwing my NES controller now)
Thanks again for trying not make it sooooo hard !
