Screw You, number 3! I haven't even heard of the game! I didn't even know there was a game. Still, considering
the massive fan base, I guess it it's to be expected.

Let me just congratulate the Escapist on puzzle 2-4. That is brilliant.
Still have 2-1, and 2-2 to solve...
Anyone help with 2-1? So far I have... (SERIOUSLY GUYS, THE SOLUTION TO THE EQUATION IS BELOW, SO MASSIVE SPOILER!)
Yes I get it says Schroedinger or... I know of the famous thought experiment. I don't know what game it is... Oh god dammit. Figured it out as I was posting. Can't believe I missed that...
Ok, so any hint on 2-2? Once more, spoiler warning.
A lout of van swerves... A lot of answers. Dunno about the other one. Honestly don't know... Help?
For 2-1:
So you have Schrodinger's Cat? What condition is it in? Could be one of two things, right?

For 2-2:
You're on the right track with smashing the words together. Do that to the actual puzzle phrase.

For 2-2 you have the right idea with saying the clue..
Treat the actual puzzle the same way.. keep repeating it to yourself quite quickly.. you will eventually make meaning

I only knew about it because of the hilarious copy protection that replaces all of the music with Vuvuzela sounds on the DS version.

YES YES and furthermore YES!

THIS IS A MAJOR HINT FOR 2-3. IT'S SLIGHTLY MORE DIRECT THAN USUAL. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The real problem is their hint. Even having never played the answer game, I can tell it's not a zombie game. That said, there is (at least) one dead person involved,>
Stumped on 3 for some time, but this hint eventually did it for me.

Also, the first hints on 1 & 2 were really great.

Ok, thanks for all the help guys, but I desperately need help with 2-1 and 2-3.

Number One:

Six pictures.

1: Play? Charlie? Brown? Piano? Instrument?
2+3: -"ering". The end to a word.
4: Is he soldering? What am I supposed to be looking at?
5: Real? Vacant? Empty? Sold? Leaving?
6: Cat? Pussy? Female?

Number Three:

I'd really appreciate a helping hand. Just a little hint. I don't have an extensive knowledge of games, so I'm finding it really hard to work this one out.

One, two and four done. Even converted the binary in my head and still didn't get it fully until reading a couple of hints here.

using Google translate, from English to English and listening to it.
It works incredibly well.

Still not sure on three though.

Hmmm...have 2-1/2-3/2-4 but I can't decipher 2-2. My native accent may be confusing the tongue twister.
Hmm i am not sure how else to help without giving away the answer... This is going to be a HUGE spoiler and possibly give the answer away- you have been warned.. it narrows the choice down to a list of about 5 games

Yahtzee Pulls out his "Like (Insert popular game title here) BUT stamp in his review of this game...

I haven't put any game titles in the spoiler because i don't want it to be ridiculously easy.

Tell me asap if it reveals too much so i can get rid of it.

I'd been trying that guys, and it wasn't working. Don't worry, I kept trying, and persistence paid off.
Still can't believe it took so long to figure out 2-1 though...
Thanks for the speedy responses guys.

for no.1:
1: you'll need the character's name
2+3: close, but -er +ing!
4: indeed he is doing just what you said -ing.
5: the 4th word you suggest is the one to focus on.
6: stick with your 1st suggestion.

So, I've gotten a request or two for more hints about 2-3.

THIS IS A MAJOR HINT FOR 2-3. IT'S SLIGHTLY MORE DIRECT THAN USUAL. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The real problem is their hint. Even having never played the answer game, I can tell it's not a zombie game. That said, there is (at least) one dead person involved, and he's a smooth criminal.
Oh...wow, that was very very lame. Thank you for all the hints you've given us...I finally have gotten it now and answered it. Now it all makes sense, plus Day 2 is finally over for me... *upset* but the hint was misleading, truly not cool Haha. Thank you again, and it's ironic after searching all this time for Zombie Games, it turned out to be that...
You wouldn't believe how long I thought the word "Mexico" was in the title.

It isn't.
Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that.

I'd really appreciate a helping hand. Just a little hint. I don't have an extensive knowledge of games, so I'm finding it really hard to work this one out.
1. You are looking for the character's name- schroeder
4. You are correct..
5. Pay attention to the sign before the picture and then you should get what you are taking away from number 4
6. Cat.

This entire thing spells out the name of an experiment.. but is not really the answer.. why would you look at the cat

I think i should probably stop before i start giving them away D:

What about you music knowledge? Listen, why don't you take a break and consult things with the Man In The Mirror. I'm sure you'll have a Thriller of a time once you realize what it is. By the way when do the Black Or White pokemon games come out?

This puzzle adventure is truly epic. Got all the answers, mostly thanks to all the kind peeps on this thread.

For those having difficulty, pay attention to key words that are dropped in people's hints. In most cases, think of the first thing/person associated with that key word. [e.g., the 'smooth criminal' hint].

Whew, finally got 'em all. 2 & 3 were the only ones I really figured out alone though ; ;.

In my opinion, the solution to Puzzle 1 was clever. Now for my two-cents hint..

Once you've figured out what the images spell out, you have to think about topic itself. Now for a possibly big hint: Characters from this series feature quite prominently in some of Monty Oum's work.

I hope that wasn't too heavy-handed.
