Wait.... THAT was the answer all along? I've been sat here for over two hours (it's now 7:06am btw) and THAT was the answer?

Wow, just figured it out and I find your description rather apt Hashime. Congrats to everyone at the escapist, not just the puzzle writers but everyone else who stuck it out with the rest of us for 5 days. Nice job everyone.

The only puzzle left is how long until another one gets made.

He's a ...you know. That threw me off. Also, what did the stairs have to do with anything. They had me looking for scales and stuff.

You guys can do it! I'm trying to think of a subtle hint to help, which is tricky when you've never played the game. :p
Hint away. If I have played it, I might get it. If I haven't, then so be it.
I more mean I haven't played the game. :p

Hey hey! No hinting what the game is! Thats not part of the puzzle

I finally figured it out thanks to the clues. Thanks to everyone for posting their findings, as I wouldn't have made it past the first day by myself. At least I didn't lose more then half my mind, so I can keep working on my school finals with the other half.

I've decided to throw out one more hint before I go to bed. And to make it lots of fun, it's a limerick!

There once was a great big museum that had so many pictures people had to go see 'em, a girl and her mum walked while together they talked and stopped at the exhibit to see 'em.

The girl said to her mother, hey mom who's that cool brother, the woman turned to her girl and said with a twirl, my dear you're such a good hunter.

You see he was a great scientist, as you can see he sits amongst the finest, but because of some quirks and a bunch of loud jerks, people don't know his impact was highest.

Good luck to everyone and I hope you find this at least entertaining. :)

Mod Note - I approve of this method of clue giving :p

Can someone please answer whether

If putting something in the URL does anything? Or if the game name is obvious from the picture itself

They are there to be aesthetically pleasing? :p I have no idea. Haha.

I'm in the same boat. Actually, this was the most useful hint for me all night.

I'm glad that you like it, Mr. Moderator. I really wanted to do something special to make up for my gaffe earlier on. I'll repost it tomorrow if a lot of people are stuck so they don't have to go searching through tonight's comments.

Well, now I feel retarded. Not only do I still not quite get the connection between those pictures and the answer, I had already guessed the answer before but got it wrong due to

putting a particular bit of punctuation in for some reason.

Silly me.

Edited for obscurity.
