"stop by and get connected on Central in Phoenix" the u haul - and we connected to our trailers
"drive by and make a pickup on Minnetonka in Minnetonka" - forgot what was there, but we had to pick up the empty cells.
"then head to the field on Evergreen in Dover" - if I need to explain this one, there will be epic facepalms.
It may have made no sense at the time, but it doesn't seem that complex now.

Yes, I figured it out then. What I'm saying is that is
not "immediately obvious after the game is released without much analysis". You list it as an example along side things like the 2010 ball return CAD, but it isn't. Even after the game, you still have to do considerable work and stretching to back-discover what it's talking about.
This 2013 hint may well be the same way, except even stretchier because it has less information. If you weren't around for the 2009 hint, even if you knew Lunacy (which is why I asked "you [plural]"), you wouldn't be able to connect the poem to the game without serious research, and even then it's more difficult that things like realizing Little Eva sings "Locomotion". This 2013 version is like taking the 2009 poem, and replacing all the useful proper nouns with word riddles while removing the verbs.
The closest recent example is the 2008 GPS coordinates, but even that's obvious once you know what's there--2009 still isn't obvious even once you know, for instance, that Blip Toys is located at 15255 Minnetonka Blvd, Minnetonka, MN 55345.
