    Huh, well, I still would have never guessed that one. But Third Strike did come to mind for the other one. But I figured titles were more important than subtitles. But if that's the case, it opens up a whole new venue for my mind to work in

    I could see how someone would think Third Strike even though it didn't come to mind for me. I just noticed that the 0s were (almost imperceptibly) less rigidly font-like. Also, if it were Third Strike I would think they would need to highlight the third one somehow lest it be Three Strikes.

    Yeah, I'm thinking Scribblenauts is more likely as well. All the other numbers and letters in the quiz are made with the some computer-y font (Arial?) and the zeroes in 3C are handwritten. Everything has a meaning in this quiz, it can't be a coincidence. :]

    Here's part 2!

    I was desperate enough that I figured out a way to do it. I check the page source and then told imgur to upload from web and CP'd your PB to imgur.

    Now I'll see what I can figure out.

    (SPOILER)

    1A - One Must Fall
    1B - Call of Duty: World at War ?
    1C - Medal of Honor
    1D - Goldeneye
    1E - Dig Dug
    1F - Counterstrike (not sure, but I stopped trying to make the numbers fit)

    2A - Audiosurf (took a while, but was "duh" when I realized it.)
    2B - Pokemon
    2C - Perfect Dark (another "duh")
    2D - Soul Caliber
    2E - Gears of War
    2F - Dead Space ?

    3A - Animal Crossing
    3B - Uncharted
    3C - Shadow of the Colossus
    3D - Time Crisis
    3E -
    3F - Metroid Prime (Echoes? WTF with the misspelling?)

    4A - Wipeout (I spent too long thing this had to do with being out of focus or something)
    4B - Morrowind (Is that a cloud or wind on tomorrow? Maybe I'm trying too hard)
    4C - Torchlight
    4D - Army of Two
    4E - Borderlands
    4F - Midnight Club (another "duh")

    5A - Bayonetta
    5B - Heavy rain
    5C - Just Cause (lol)
    5D - Dark Sector
    5E - Starcraft (can't tell if their are little landmines or stars... pretty sure it's stars)
    5F - SWAT 4 (but these are swatters and one is facing a weird direction. Am I missing something?

    6A - Far Cry
    6B - Red Faction
    6C - Centipede
    6D - Bomberman 2 ?
    6E - (If this one is Portal I'll be disappointed at the maker)
    6F -


    EDIT: It's distracting to do at work. I also agree that there's something less on the nose about this one than the last.

    EDIT2: This is making my work day awesome.

    EDIT3: Please tell me there are more... and someone answer the rest of them. I got frustrated and looked at Rant's and it filled no holes for me (but did make me question a few).

    Some of them are tricky, and it may be a little trickier overall than last time, but I still think I'm doing much better on this one.

    Can someone explain 1C? Vivi22 and Yearg's answer did cross my mind but I couldn't figure out how it fits with the white letters.

    Amused by Vivi's answer to 5D. And I seem to have gotten 5E wrong - I didn't look closely enough.

    (SPOILER)Mg and Ti are Magnesium and Titanium. Which are metals. And these metals are in honor. Metal in honor. Medal of Honor. That's how I did it

    I went ahead and looked at everyone's answers for the ones I'm missing, I wouldn't have gotten most of them anyway. But for the last two, if they're related, I'm wondering why the last one looks drawn. It just looks like a weird "C" drawn on

    Again, Yeargdribble is spot on with all his answers! Fill out his blanks with Vivi22's answers and we've got a full set of answers for the second puzzle board.

    AFAIK, there are no more of these types of puzzles. Shame, huh?

    Magnesium and Titanium are Metals... hence Medal of Honor, though the way they are inlaid would make be think it was Honor of Metal as it implies that the word Honor is constructed from the elements, but I just went with it since this quiz seems a little less consistent anyway.


    And I seem to have gotten 5E wrong - I didn't look closely enough.
    I originally thought minecraft and was debating. Due to the picture quality they kinda look just as much like landmines as they look like stars.





    EDIT: I was looking for answers to the 2nd one (seriously, unsatisfied with 6E/F) and I found this one apparently made by reddit folks.

    I had no idea, though I certainly like Yearg's and your answer more. Still, can't blame me for going there.
