Bloobird's 2015 Walrus - REVEAL - Page 53 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

So some people might have guessed this was happening...

I'm off on holiday tomorrow (yay!). And for strange and selfish reasons I do not want to spend my holiday time scoring walrus entries. As a result, reveal of the last two categories is postponed until I get back (Monday 16th).

The Bloobird corporation would like to reassure disappointed customers that the reveal will be completed on the return of the CEO, and that this is not a Kaiduscorp situation. We have arranged for everyone to receive 25% off the entry fee for soma's walrus as compensation.

sorry guys, just didn't have the time

When do you continue with reveal?

wtf is the point of MB being a mod if Bloobird isn't banned and this thread closed?

I hereby invoke my walrus to client privilege and ask that my remaining HOT TRACKS not be revealed so they may be used in a forthcoming and more relevant game.

[Bloobird's 2015 Walrus] is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

Has Bloobird ever heard that one about the boy who cried wolf?

Category Seven - A song that epitomises the United States of America

ZOMG REVEAL. Let's see if I can remember how to do this.

Two bonus points available for anyone who went for a non-American artist, but relatively few people took the risk. A few absolute stinkers this round, but also a pretty solid top ten. My pick was a band I'm honestly kinda surprised no-one submitted at all.

In the spirit of the thing, you're going to reveal the last category whilst drunk at 1am, right?

Only saved from last place by how utterly execrable I find super-patriotic pop-country. This is seriously dreadful though.

Somehow manages to be about three minutes too long despite being under four minutes in length.

Ancient Egypt, Cheops’ boat.
Back in Rome they had chariots.

I wasn't expecting this to be good, but I was hoping it wouldn't be boring. Unfortunately it didn't meet even those lowered expectations.

Yeah, this was just too obvious, guys. And tbh it doesn't stand up that well if you listen to it on its own.
