Here's a hint for those who don't want to type into Google:

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste, but also have some sympathy for me as I am a fortunate son and I will not back down until I solve all of these riddles and help all of you.

Number 5 took me all of two seconds to solve because I happen to have a poster for this game directly on the wall about ten feet behind me. Thanks to everyone else to gave me the clues needed to solve 2,3, and 4.

I finally got all five. God number 4 was killing for a long time, I kept rereading all the clues from all the posts on here, and I kept coming to the same game but it wasn't. but then lol, I had the right answer but I was spelling it wrong *Facepalm*

Thanks to everyone on here for the help

Cat Cloud:
Bah, I give up. I've only gotten numbers 1 and 4, thanks to this forum, and neither of them are games I've played or even remotely considered playing. And I just don't like FPS much, so I probably don't stand a chance with any of the others...

probably means you will own at day 5.

JourneyThroughHell:
You're going the right way with twisting the phrase around. Merge the two words you got.

Voila.

Man, I FINALLY got number 2, thanks to your hint (and the previous poster's twisting of words. I just facepalmed after I shouted out the answer because it was right there in front of me the whole time.

I'm getting the distinct feeling that I've never heard of the game referenced in #1...

I got everything but 3. This was a fun way to spend fifteen minutes; thanks for the fun, guys.

EDIT: Actually, I got that one too. Good design. And for anyone who can't figure it out, just go to the store and by a new perspective-- they're a nikola a pop, so you Will be able to afford one.

I got number 2, and I still have no idea what a cold directive is.

You know you can say something coldly? And a directive is an instruction.

Neither of which seem to relate to the answer.

Number 3 is making me feel like my brain is trapped in a deep black abyss.

YouBecame:
I have them all at last:

That was my first guess too, I almost hit my head through the wall when I found out the answer.

Spoon E11:
can anyone give me any more clues to #2???

GOT IT! #s 4 and 2 were insane! The other 3 weren't that bad (I facepalmed for not solving 1 sooner, took me all of 2 seconds to solve 5), but those other two, 4 in particular, were infuriating!

But I think I did good. BRING ON THE NEXT PUZZLES! (I'm going to regret saying that...)

Also, not sure how anyone who's never played 5 is supposed to know the answer...

gah, this is hard
only have number 1 and 2 so far

Phishfood:

Cpt. Red:
For 4 I made a program that tests each game on a list of about 11k games to find ones that fit the condition.

That sounds like harder work than just solving it yourself. Regex?

Well it's more fun this way. Also nope, haven't really used it that much (read less then 5 min)... Just looped them all through and printed out those that had the right letters in the right order...

THANK YOU ESCAPIST! YOU GUSY ARE AWESOME, WITH YOUR HELP I GOT THEM ALL! YES!
Also for #3


Hope that helps

Got five.

The_root_of_all_evil:

When two words seem to do, push them together to form this clue.

I get the


bit, but the clue doesn't help.
Number four confuses me as well.

Push harder, it's only small.

For Four, remember to mask out the letters you don't need, or you'll be throwing the furniture around.

*Looks at 2 a bit more*.....Wow...I feel dumb now. *Inserts answer*

Ok finally got 2. The clue is useless. maybe because I have no idea what the game is about.

Andalusa:
I have two out of five so far... I will get them all, even if it kills me.
Solved puzzles one and three, GAH!

Any clues for number two?

One of the only ones I got. Beautiful, watching someone else squirm like the space squid to my Jason Statham

I need serious help. I haven't got any of them.

Can someone give me a hint to what kind of game 1 is. I'm looking at it right and I'm still not seeing it. Thanks.

Ziel:
Also, not sure how anyone who's never played 5 is supposed to know the answer...

I never played it. However, on the subway station to my way to work, there was a huge poster. Instant recognition, and it was the first thing I solved.

Also, got all five, mostly due to the first two pages of hints you helpful guys shared so liberally. Thanks!

I was able to get number 3,4, and 5 but number 1 is killing me. I have looked at the puzzle from different angles but none of it helps me. All I am seeing is the puzzle at a different angles. It does not help me solve the puzzle at all.

The hint is in the picture.

That's because you shouldn't be looking at it right.
Also, if you are looking at it in a different way already, try the other way around.

Got 'em all thanks to you guys. Thanks, you rock :)

Yeah yeah I got that part. I still can't freaking see it!

I can't get number 1 because my brain keeps seeing it as an illogical inequality statement.
I just keep saying "this is mathematically invalid".

It clicked for me when I....

The rest suddenly made sense!

Ah, but I've got it now... took about an hour longer than the others.
Damn, I feel so stupid.
But then, I do feel extremely superior when people say they struggle with puzzles one and three.
They were easy as pie.

Thanks everyone, without these hints there is no way i would have figured out number 4.

For those of you still having problems with number two...

We all know that the clue is Weep, little female sibling.

I'm sorry, but I can't actually get number one.

Anyone have a hint that isn't

?

I've got 1 and 2. I thought 3 might have been the ol' A=1, B=2 etc, but dudr olai isn't a game I've ever heard of... And I have no idea what picture number five is...

You've got 2 letters wrong.

Unfortunately even the correct letters don't yield the answer... yet! Looks like no sleep tonight!

If I understand the question I still don't get the answer despite making vowel sounds haltingly at the screen. I'm starting to feel foolish :(

You may be looking at it the wrong way. Try turning it around. The Answer is right there, I just didn't figure it out right away.

You did get the puzzles, but the trick is in the hint.

Kinda a ZP clue (Watching all episodes of ZP now counts as cheating yourself if you understand that clue) Don't you bring up question three! I am still vowel sounding the screen :(
