Go to Post Dear Mr. Lavery, Congratulations. For the fourth year running, you have successfully ruined my Christmas holiday with your untimely release of a most obfuscating, but no less tantalizing, hint. - dubious elise [more]

Re: Why do we care about the game hints?

Yes, in 2004 we all knew we had to climb stairs because of the Stairway to Heaven lyrics.

1n 2005 the hint revealled that we were going to 3 vs 3 for the first time and the name of the game Triple Play.

In 2006 Jess Grady (nee Boucher) pretty much nailed the riddle figuring out the line: "A game object obsessed with a shovel's show" actually meant Just Shoot Me. Hinting at the fact we would be shooting a game object for the first time. This was also probably the most interesting hint we've seen, because it contained a lot of info and we actually had all the parts but didn't quite put it together.

In general the hints are fun to read and think about for a few minutes then just stop so you don't get brain lock.
