Re: When will the first official game hint be released?

I don't know if anyone remembered the survey FIRST sent out from last year, but they asked a question about procuring game pieces on it (which wasn't really a hint). I would think the GDC would do something along the lines of ultimate ascent, by having easy to procure game pieces.
In looking at past games, it seems like the GDC really likes sports (1992 - tennis balls, 2008 - yoga type balls, 1994 & 2010 - Soccer Balls, 2012 - Basketball, 2013 - Ultimate Frisbee). I LOVE how they work with sports themes, so we can relate our work with robots to games & game pieces that many people are familiar with.
The GDC gave us a somewhat difficult challenge by making us work with frisbees last year, so maybe this year is another odd game such as a football game, golf game (ouch) with WATER features , or maybe even a NASCAR/Indy Car type #racingrobots game?

But really...
