Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 DANTIUS 248 - no - and you also misread my sentence, although it was easy to misread like that 283 - no - but very cute TRIUMPH 257 - YES (+4) - you got the main part of it. Schelling wrote about similar stuff at times, while Stereolab produced which inspired the rest of the title. 262 - YES (+3) - also a reference to Skulduggery, which referred specifically to locks and traps in the later Wizardry games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 281. Circumspecter - Filibustering an accountability scheme Circumspection means looking at every possibility and considering every benefit/consequence. Someone doing so to an accountability scheme could end up filibustering it. 282. Deixistential Angst - Freud follows Life During Wartime Angst makes me think of teenage angst and it sounds like something Freud would extrapolate on. Existential is studying the meaning of life so during wartime, we study death? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 275. Roboflip-flopolis - Oscillodyssey Escape Challenge!. Oscillating could be described as flip-flopping.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 TRIUMPH 275 - YES (+3) - and lol I forgot about that Robotropolis.

Metamorphose to the Foremost - Individual: viagra-related spam I don't know if I want to explain the connection I see here... 265. Zo Logick - PBS anthem about a champion fighter Sounds like zoo logic which sounds like a PBS show if PBS does this time refer to the TV station. 258. Sometimes, only sometimes - If Midenhall doesn't give the time of day If he doesn't care, then the answer of 'sometimes' is nice and vague for it.

Liminal Term, Terminal Limb could be Individual: viagra-related spam, since Viagra was originally developed to increase bloodflow to hand and feel and other "terminal limbs". Of course, in clinical testing they found it increased bloodflow to other extremities, and thus single-handedly doubled the amount of spam on the Internet.
