Pizzas are usually made in the shape of a circle. Sometimes they're made in square shapes, not just cut into squares. Though pizzas and slices of any shape don't have holes in the middle...maybe Logo Motion pieces without the donut holes?

Best of luck to Frank and the GDC. Hype boosters now at ~15.01%.

Maybe Mars or another planet themed?

And the whole leg of mutton thing this year...futuristic food?? This is making me hungry...

It seems to me that the actual teaser might be the words "is coming". As in "Winter is coming". Winter = cold = ice... a hockey game! I'm thinking a Lunacy/Breakaway cross... trying to control and shoot a ball, while driving on regolith, without being able to extend past the frame perimeter (except briefly) or draw the ball in past the frame perimeter... that would be some challenge!

Possibly some truth to that. The "Security Breach" video was the hint this year, but the hint was the title, not the actual video. The real hints are in the least obvious places.

Interesting.

After noticing the similarities between FRC and Vex games, that's a real possibility. And there's an asterisk after "is coming" in the post. Asterisks are also called stars. Stars are in space. Space game confirmed?

P.S. Congrats to tjf for beating Hallry to the CD post!
