What do you think the chance of using the same game peices this year would be?

thanks, vivek
Nil. And don't belive anything put in the kickoff video is a hint for the next year; the GDC still has to deal with the rules changes for the year they just released.

Not again.

Someone brings this up every year...at least once per year...maybe more. The debunking:
1998: circle (exercise balls)
1999: circle (floppies)
2000: circle (playground balls)
2001: circle (excercise + playground balls)
2002: circle (soccer balls)
2003: square (bins for Stack Attack)
2004: circle (excercise + playground balls)
2005: triangle (tetras)
2006: circle (Poof balls)
2007: circle (pool tubes)

Personally, I think we're due for balls again. The real pattern seems to be: ball, odd shape/game play method, ball. (Odd years have the odd tricks.)
