Wow... Just wow. I applaud the mods who made these puzzles, especially the last one. Unfortunately, I haven't technically solved the last one, I might see if I can work backwards or something... It just hit me. I will say one thing.
Everything is connected. There are no coincidences in this puzzle.
If anyone feels like PM-ing me about how to actually solve the whole riddle... I got pretty far (I think) then just tried it on a hunch. Anyhoo, I'll see if I can keep going, but it's pretty late here in Australia.

Completed Day 5! Finally done!

...

or at least that's what I would be saying if I had done 4-1.

Seriously, I know what to do, it's just not working.

For the

Contra code

do I have to actually press the buttons or type up, down etc?

And the

Doom code

just won't work.

Am I doing something wrong?

For the first code, just use the arrows. No words involved.

For the second one, make sure you have the correct code. I found two that are similar, but only one will help you.

ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE ANSWER SHOULD READ BELOW, NO JOKE:
After guessing the answer that won me the wonderful +1 Mental Might Badge, I'd decided to see what I missed. For closure, you know? But getting to the site with the five element numbers was HARD! The hints on this site helped a ton, and I'm quite familiar with Mister Fibonacci, but why did you go from 0 to 5 to get to the site? Shouldn't it have been 0 to 13, or 21, or something? After all, assuming the black boxes are 1 inch, the other pictures would be respectively 2, 3, 5, 8 and 13, right? What does the five mean? If you've already solved the puzzle and would like to illuminate me, go straight ahead.
EDIT: It kinda makes sense, since there are six pictures, and the code has six different numbers: 0,1,1,2,3,5. Man, The Escapist did a great job on this! Ya gotta love that hydrogen-aluminum-fluoride-lithium-iron compound!

I just have to come back after getting 5-1 from hints...

Shouldn't www.toyijm.com be the site? What is it that I'm not getting?

I only found one. Maybe it's the wrong one but I can't find any others.

Also, someone mentioned pressing enter? Should I be doing that?

right now I am stuck on day 5:

Am I correct in saying that after a certain step you get led to a certain article right here on the escapist? If so where the hell do I go next???

If that gives something away then sorry.

don't worry about the small things. proper grammar isn't that important, just focus on what's big.

I'm willing that it's way more confusing to decode all the hints and information if you're just doing 5-1 now. I guarantee you that at the time, everything people were saying made sense.

I still can't get this damned day 5 puzzle. I've read every hint that you all have said, and I'm still stuck at the shell pattern thing with all the mathematicians. Are we suppose to know the names of these people or what? I'm just beyond confused at this moment.
Please, please, oh please, help.

Nope. With nothing selected, just type the code. And try using Google, explore the resources.

Just won't work. I'm using a laptop, maybe that's a problem? And no matter how much I google, it is the same one. It is for the first game right?

I'm not sure if I came to the right answer via the right means, but I'm still happy I achieved all the correct answers =]
If I could contact a moderator or such to check my thinkings, I would be intrigued to see how I probably, should have done it =D
