    Ah sorry about that! Fixed now.

    As for your answer, I will accept that because I wasn't very specific. However, there is something within the achievement names themselves that links to a certain someone or something ^_-

    Duhhh.. this took me a moment, lol. I was like, "Latin? OH RIGHT."

    [Thumbs Up, Soldier!] is Captain America
    [Sic transit gloria mundi...] .. Marvel Noir! (Deadpool, Cable)
    [Sic semper tyrannis] is The Incredible Hulk
    [Semper fidelis] is another (short) Marvel series (well, it's "Semper Fi")

    You *could* also include the Rubicon in this list, but it's not exactly "Beyond the Rubicon" - there's an Uncanny X-Men and a Nightstalkers both called "Crossing the Rubicon"...

    *puts on reading glasses*

    These are all references to Julius Caesar! The Et tu brute made it too easy.

    [Sic semper tyrannis!] -- purportedly uttered after his death
    [Beyond the Rubicon] -- Crossing the Rubicon Caesar incited war with Rome
    [Et tu, Brute?] -- duh
    [Sic transit gloria mundi...] -- glory fades

    ---
    Overseer Edit: Yeeeesss!!!! Caesar's Rubicon in New Vegas was the Colorado River I guess you could postulate.
