    Amazing puzzle Philip! I loved the CAPTAINPLANET theme and the grid was so smooth to fill!

      Thanks! I wrote the puzzle for earth day (next month). Kind of wish the elements would be in grid order (with captain planet at the end), but that was too difficult to do when I was laying out the grid

        Sorry I cheated and solved it early as I worked my way through the moderation queue :P

          Another great puzzle! You really do a great job of avoiding hard crossings.

            Thanks!! When I get stuck and have to use a more obscure word, I try to make the words that cross it easier. For example WABO and NAGE are pretty much nonsense-sounding words, so made sure the crossing clues are more fair and gettable...

            The XBOX/ATARI may have been my favorite part. Also my least favorite, though, since now F**k You is stuck in my head.
