although i doubt that this is a clip from the game animation, i must say that the road does vaguely resemble pasta.

I see this as only one thing and that is proof that lavery likes to feed us bogus pics. The track is not in the style of the rest of the picture and does not look to be made of real materials. In my mind, this pics serves to invalidate the 2007 pic as a shot from the game animation. There may be some clues hidden in both pics, but they are not so obvious.

I don't think i have ever seen lavery mess with us this much in previous years. FALSE RENDERINGS!! GRRRRR

The way I see it, pseudorenderings mean Dave doesn't have as much time to render the game animation, which means Dave can't fit as much into the animation, which means the game has to be easy to explain. That, in turn, makes it more TV-friendly, which gets FIRST on TV, which brings more attention to FIRST, which gets more kids into FIRST, which helps to change the culture.

Keep on rendering, Dave!

I think he was done rendering the animation before the game hint went off, or maybe all the cursing about doing frames wrong in his away message is his way of confusing us all into thinking he was done...

I still say that we shouldn't try to analyze anything that dave does. The only reason he does these things is to confuse us more.

Example:
He may have finished rendering before the hint went out, but he didn't want us to know, so he posted the away message.
OR
He didn't finish rendering before the hint and he truthfully posted the away message.
OR
He didn't finish rendering, but knowing that we would know the above two possibilites, he posted the away message to confuse us.
OR
He finished the rendering, but still wanted to confuse us.

And the list goes on.

So i say don't try to analyze Dave Lavery

- the short blue bulldozer robot was in the 2003, 2004 and 2005 animations (and who knows where he may appear next...)

So that means the score is:
Tom - 1/6 (only one was in the 2003 animation)
Billfred - 5/6 (it really bothers me that you know this stuff this well)
Ryan - 3/6 (points off for incorrect identification)
Alex - 0/6 (there is nothing generic about these little guys, they are all special in their own individual ways [at least, that is what my grandmother used to say, and I always believed her*])

I can't believe we are even having this discussion... Don't you all have something else to do??! :)

* except for that part about how "dogs can breathe underwater, just not for very long."
