Ignoring Game Hints

[JVN]

Anyone else spend this time of year pretending that Dave Lavery, the GDC, and all game hints simply do NOT exist?

PS - I can tell you that Opah is much more satisfying to eat than to obsess over.

I smell a new "the game" game brewing. Every time you think about the game hint you lose the game.

I obsessed over the game hint the 2 seasons that I was in high school for FIRST. Now that I am in college it just doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

I stopped caring a long time ago.

I admit it, I'm a party to this boondoggle.
I was forced to contribute to the vast waste of man-hours when I forwarded the link to my team. I may have had the clue up on my screen, but I didn't look for inner meaning, I swear.

I haven't bothered thinking much about the hints since we were all "obsessed with a shovel's show....."

Where are the poems? The creativity? The meaty game hints that people have a water game's chance in Hades of interpreting?

Anyone can post a picture of a smelly dead fish online.....

Ah, but there's always new fish, erm, freshman each year. Many of them have the opportunity to experience the fun now that you did a few short years ago, thanks to the GDC.

I've already had my unexpected and marginally embarrassing moment in the spotlight thanks to the hint. I'm happy to let others strive for their own.

OK, I can't just let that comment go by... care to share some additional details?

Find a video of the 2006 Kickoff and you'll understand after watching.

I am going to reply to this just to let my signature speak for itself.

Same here.. I was literally every day discussing new things, bouncing ideas off annoyed teammates, trying to unravel it. Last year was particularly bad. I'm still moderately interested (and I think there have been a few good ideas suggested in the thread), but for the most part I'm just sitting back waiting for that fateful Saturday morning.

Last year the GPS coordinates were figured out, and it's a distinct possibility that this year's has been figured out too; there's just such an abundance of speculation going on that it's impossible to know exactly what is right or not. A post of "hey those coordinates are for the Boston marathon, maybe it's a race game?" is quickly lost in a sea of other equally viable possibilities.
