Uch.. I had all of them but '...of New York'. How did I not get that one?! It's so obvious now...

I'm so much fail at these. I only answered like 10 or 11 and some of them were wrong.

Found this one to be a lot harder than the previous ones. Damn, I need to come back for this one a bit later, when I've got some time on my hands.

Damn you all for making me use my brain!

This one was fairly easy for me. I was only stumped on a handful of clues.

Great crossword, i was stumped on a few of them although I think the answer for 20 down is wrong, I won't write the answer here as to not ruin it for others but unless it's a different show to what I'm thinking of the last two letters are the wrong way round.

Yeah, I'm also pretty sure that one was wrong. Oh well.

I was totally stumped on the "Hamster on a _____" clue. Guess I'm just not caught up on all the interweb fads anymore.

I liked this one better than the last, so great crossword, looking forward to the next.
Still not printer friendly, as far as I can tell. :(
I seemed to do way better on the down rather than the across.

Yay, finished it, though with some help from wiki and google <_<

I have to say, I really do enjoy these crosswords a great deal!

I'm stuck on 28 Down. Being the last one, I don't want to click the solution but am totally stumped right now!

Scratch that, figured it out now! That'll be the first Escapist crossword I finished...

Ahhh, apologies. Some changes got made at the last minute, and that mistake slipped through.

20 Down should be SNL, but in the puzzle, it is SLN.

Very, very sorry about that.

Go figure - but I found this one easier than the rest thusfar. Which is just about the right difficulty for me - I only really had to check a couple of answers (like the 'LAX' one and the screwed up 20 down) - and I even got the 'completion' message this time around! Hooray!

I liked it, either way. I'd love to see these continue (though I do agree with most in that the 'two to three letter' clues are too high in quantity).

I'm not even finished yet, but I love the "...Ate My Neighbors" reference. Nothing like using a squirt gun to kill a giant baby in a shopping mall.

Quick question? How does one know they have won?
Does it come up going "YOU'RE WINNER?", or something like that? Because this is the second one I've finished and haven't gotten a win screen. (If one exists). Curses!
Though I do so love these crosswords. Keep it up.

Yes, if you get it all right without looking at the answers you get a message saying that it is correct.

One of my favorite games of all time. :)
