I hope Dave's head feels better.....

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog
 

Who said he got hurt? The only way to know if he was hurt is for you to have been there. Are you part of the GDC?

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog
 

Would anyone know the difference? :p

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog
 

I can't believe there's game hint talk in the summer. :ahh:

I think the key word is tested with his head.

What can you test with your head? Maybe he "headed" a ball over a bar or something?

I don't think he'd use his head to test the durability of something.... would he?

Reminds me how I got my "Tetraman" nickname. I put a Tetra on my head, and the rest is history.

I'm guessing something similar happened.

And I think the most important part to take from this blog statement more then "using his head" is the part that says - we’re really striving for clarity and brevity, but it’s a lot harder than it looks. I sense that this game is going to have a lot of things to do and watch out for unlike Lunacy where there were only 3-5 rules that really changed things.

I'm thinking Lamp Shades. Nothing is more fun to put on your head than a lamp shade. Besides, I hear the GDC is filled with party animals. :)

So now Dave is "inflatable clown man"? "jelloman"? "JiffyPop Puppies-man"?
(You'll have to ask Dave about that one...)

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog
 

I noticed the part about tested with his head and I thought about the leather football helmets from back in the day. Those were so cool.

Edit: Oh wait! used his head... that could be literally or it could mean he thought of a different way to test.

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog
 

Like all other game hints, this is surely a Red Herring. I mean, what on Earth (or Mars) could be of consequence that involves Dave's head? :rolleyes:

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog
 

He hit himself with a herring? Thats how I was supposed to read that right?

That picture must have taken a long time to make. Did you make it or was it copy & paste.

Back to the point, the object could be a traffic cone. Maybe Dave put it on his head?

VLC The Game

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog
 

A quick copy and paste. I'm nowhere near that talented. ;)

VLC The Game has a nice ring to it. In retrospect, that would mean the default software would come with every single piece of code we'd ever need. :D
