I feel like I should be knowing that one, but I can't think of a game title.

Damn, that is genius mate. Top tier.

To make it worse, I'd got as far as 'sword adventure' or 'sword journey' :lol:

Why don't you go solve your own custom riddle before PresEsc comes back and steamrolls everything? :P

They dragged me out of retirement for one last job :D I was genuinely so happy to find that this had been resurrected that I made a wee involuntary noise. 4 was outstanding!

Thanks, we should do his more often!

To make it easier to follow along, here are the few of mine that still remain to be solved:
  • Hard Tier
9. Jonah's residence, stellar arabic nomenclature.

  • Simonsloth Tier
10. Fish accosts monarch. Mountain intervenes.

  • Bonus "I'm not sure this is really appropriate" Tier
11. Deutsche Telekom presents: Biden 2020
I might give tips at some point if they're too difficult as is.

Correct!

Also, hilarious if that's indeed the solution to clippa's. :lol:

I'm surprised #9 hasn't been solved yet, to be honest. Both you and clippa were on the right track before giving up! Combine both of your methods, add a modicum of brainstorming and you should get it.

Sorry, that's not it. :|

Oh look, I found a cool tip theme!
7. Vacation on Code Name Island.

Tip #1: Image

Tip #2: Project Code Name.

#11 is both a bit uncouth and I can't neatly tie it to any marine life reference, so we can just forget about that one if it's too difficult! :lol:

Is number 10 Metal Gear Solid 2?

Tip 1 Metal Gear RAY
Tip 2 definitely
Tip 3 ARSENAL gear
Tip 4 metal rusts, definitely cold and dramatic

Not sure how it fits with the original clue though ( clutching at straws)
