Yay first time under one hundred.
The first and second picture gave it away, you already know the rest of the saying after you've figured those two out

Nice!
Wait a minute - - they told me I was 46th with 65 points. Hummmmm. Happy to tie anybody who scores in the first hundred. Congrats 2!
#5 really? That's odd.
Wow 116th...would've been a million times faster if I hadn't had to log in AGAIN!!!
Darn not fast enough today.
I was stuck working the last pictures but thanks [3], that made it easy.
Nicely clued.
great cluing on this one, though the constellation pronunciation seemed a little off to me
Having trouble with this one.
I was 27th tonight on the OWW.... and on this one I am clueless! (It's usually the other way around!)
I can't believe my ISP *chose* to deny me internet access from 8:50 until 9:35 today. *groan*
When I finally got on, I mispelled the first word AND hit the wrong key in a later word... Just as well I wasn't here on time, I guess!
I think I've figured out the main words, but I'm having trouble with the rest of it.
Can anybody help me? Tanga-gram maybe?
You are a freaking genius!!

On the first picture, am I supposed to be concerned with what is blocked out on two of the five?
[16]
1776

Knew it after the first couple of words, but wasn't sure because the rest was awkward, especially the last word, which I still don't recognize!
[19] Well that's not even close to anything I thought I figured out. Totally lost now.
Just thought of the musical, but none of the songs match any words I've got either...
How come this is so hard for me? Seems like a lot of you are getting it easily. Google is no help for me tonight!
[20] I think I've got the last word (or clue at least). That game has 2 different names.
You solved this puzzle in 21 seconds and were the 236th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this. good one!
Well I give up (for now). Got school work to do. If anyone wants to give me further clues by t-gram, that would be great. I don't want the answer though!
Finally solved it. Salt: the two red areas are all that you need to focus on in the first picture.
I had it with the first picture.
[24] Give it another go. Don't stop now.
I know the first picture - got the reddened areas.
Can't figure out the significance of the nine N's.
I know the movie title and the constellation, and BOTH names of the game.
So... why can't I put it all together??? (Rhetorical questions, really!)
*EDIT - Finally got it with a little help!!! (Thanks for the nudge DrLaura!!!)*
Thank you 19. That did it for me.
Thanks, [3], for the salt!
Finally got it with help form a t-gram. Neither of the two names that I know for the game pictured is what is wanted. Also, "1776" isn't really a helpful clue unless you're confused about American history. I get how it relates but the origin of the answer didn't occur at that time. Here I was looking for things relating to the Declaration of Independence and the Founding Fathers. I dunno, maybe it works for some people, but when I hear that phrase, I don't picture the same thing as what I do thinking about 1776.

Still wishing I was in your time zone!
Very well clued, reads perfectly!
Got all the words but can't make it into a sensible phrase. I think the second pic is messing me up. I'm probably saying the wrong thing.
[30] What did you use for the last picture? The Chinese? Korean? Japanese? As you found, you want the westernized version of the Japanese name.
[33] The count doesn't matter... just that there's more than one.
Got it after the badge pics and the N-grid sealed it for me.
Nicely clued!
The H in the movie title was confusing, but I worked through it and finally got it.
having trouble with the name of the game-- any help would be appreciated
Finally got it. For some reason I was thinking the redded out areas on the badges were the same word. Sheesh.
[34] I don't know; it's not really a game I'm familiar with. The two names I was thinking of were Reversi and Othello. I guess I have heard of the other name; it just wasn't fresh in my mind.
[39] I thought the same thing. Also was thinking that the word in the movie title was a stand alone, not part of another word or pronounced differently. So I was looking for phrases with that specific word. And then I also thought the last clue was Othello, so thought maybe the word "hell" was in there too. Was so far off!
[38] Still stuck on the game name? Try http://bit.ly/cFjvpM Again, you want the European/American(/Japanese) name.
I found this difficult, but I'm learning to REALLY see, not just skim, and that's a good thing :)!
