Question 767: Tap them Thrice

Emo Adaptation of?

Question 753: Who's calling?

HP Lovecraft's initial short story, __X__ was published in Weird Tales in 1928 and established the character as a malevolent entity trapped in an arctic underwater city called R'lyeh. Described as being "...an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature.... A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque scaly body with rudimentary wings", and "a mountain walked or stumbled",  the imprisoned __X__ is apparently the source of constant anxiety for mankind at a subconscious level, and also the subject of worship by a number of evil cults.

ID the game also being parodied along with the creature in __X__

Question 728: Speed of Sound?

Connect the 3 pictures, taken a few creative liberties with them though

Question 709: Thinking outside the X marked box

A rage comic about a very stupid origin of the name __X__, which was first made for __Y__. Otto Berkes, disassembled some Dell laptop computers to construct a prototype __Y___based video game console. The team hoped to create a console to compete with the Sony PlayStation 2, which was luring game developers away from the __Y__platform.

The clue for the name is left in the buttons & is depicted in the following cartoon
SO ID X & Y

Question 637: Hit, Split or Surrender

The first written reference is found in a book by the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes, who is most famous for writing Don Quixote. Cervantes was a gambler, and the main characters of his tale Rinconete y Cortadillo, from Novelas Ejemplares, are a couple of cheaters working in Seville. They are proficient at cheating at ventiuna (Spanish for __X__), and state that the object of the game is to reach __X__ without busting and other such modern rules. The game is played with the Spanish baraja deck, which lacks eights, nines and tens. This short story was written between 1601 and 1602, implying that ventiuna was played in Castilia since the beginning of the 17th Century or earlier. Later references to this game are found in France and Spain.

Clue:

Question 568: Marry whaaat?

Ah, xkcd. Isn't it great?
Anyway, easy one.

They should call her what?
Because she just got what?

Question 548: I don't have the money, honey

ID the following people for a point each (5 if you get them all), but they have an unbelievable binding context - their work has, together, defined the adolescence of an entire generation of kids.

Adolescence (from Latin: adolescere meaning "to grow up")^[1] is a transitional stage of physical and mental human development generally occurring between puberty and legal adulthood (age of majority),^[1][2] but largely characterized as beginning and ending with the teenage stage.

Give me the context for 5 points. Adolescence has nothing to do with it, but this context can definitely still ruin yours as well.

Question 534: Noble Profession

Sorry for the abruptness of the question but I'm pressed for time :P

Anyway:
A certain gentleman, born in 1932 in some part of Egypt as a Melkite Greek Catholic. He took to acting in 1953 and became quite a successful actor in his time.

 He was also known for something else.

Id the man and what the other thing was.

Question 511: A dead Ringer

The following picture is a morphed one, consisting of two personalities originally. It was produced and promulgated on the day of the release of the game Halo 3, morphing the personality __X__, whose head and armaments were used with that of __Y___, whose body was used.
__Y__ can be found at the proverbial bete noire of MIT.
The reason for this atrocious amalgamation given by MIT was that they both share the same name ___Z___.

1) ID XYZ
2) ID what the shared name is between X & Y

Question 493: Another Hole in the Wall

Sorry for not posting, but i busy playing a game on the comp, and time just slipped by.


Anyway, here's a game ive found absolutely infuriating, but somehow fun. Wasn't what i was engrossed in, that is a question for later on in the day


The game consists primarily of a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player's character and simple objects using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (ASHPD, also dubbed the "___X___"), a unit that can create inter-spatial __X__ between flat planes. The player character, Chell, is challenged by an AI named GLaDOS to complete each puzzle in the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center using the __X___ with the promise of receiving cake when all the puzzles are completed.
(Must have been bloody good cake, but spoiler alert, you can't have your cake and eat it too
lol)
 The unusual physics allowed by the __X___ are the emphasis of this game by Valve, and is illustrated in this stupid meme i found online


Enjoy
