Who says? My first list was just naming off random things from TF2. People can guess if they want, but I think this is just more to be silly. After all, some things are a bit to obscure to guess, and some things are tropes found in tons and tons of games. As for your game...Hmm...not sure, actually. You've got me stumped.
