PATSP Crossword #2

Hi again. Another crossword.


As with the first one, a fair amount of this is site-specific, obscure, or whatever, and may or may not be of interest to you. But then, what else were you planning on getting done today, right? You can always stop if it's not going well.

I recommend printing out a copy of the puzzle image, and then working on the paper. Googling is likely to prove useful.

Made with the demo version of Crossword Compiler, as was the first puzzle.
