![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/u9BDWRT.png) click the image above or the following link for the PDF format (172K) Editor's note: I am still not sure how regular this will be. I do know, however, that this puzzle was a lot easier for me to make after the educational experience of making the previous one. Have fun solving, and please let me know what you think about it! Please keep any solutions in spoiler tags, thanks!   | ||

How do you come up with crosswords? To me it seems extremely difficult. | ||

and I used to solve these everyday as a kid, so I guess prior knowledge with word puzzles helps. these two on TL are my first attempts at making my own, though. | ||

I didn't realize that puzzle solving and puzzle making could actually be a competition, but I guess I shouldn't be so surprised when I'm involved in esports. I think I take a different approach than Hook. The harder, more crossword-ese sections of my puzzles are, in my opinion, places where I actually failed as a constructor, not places where I gain perverse pleasure at stumping people. My primary motives for making these are twofold:

Also ARIN does not work for 29 across; the clue states it a two word answer (with no acronyms or shortenings, to clarify). 40 across is also incorrect, take a look at the "All Time Pro Scene Music" thread on TL. You are really close! | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I guess ASCII is right. So then there has to be a third acronym for Socialist Soviet StateS or something, still no idea about this band. As In sounds plausible for the religious thing I guess. I give up. | ||

Uh, I didn't obviously read all the questions  Not knowing Enne would be pretty bad rofl. I dunno why I went with Smart. I just put it in and then thought that adaa was a caster. Which I'm pretty sure actually was a casters nick in some game. Or something really close to that. | ||
