Re: Game Hint #1

OMG!! New info amongst all the repeats here!!! w000000!!!
Anyways:

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2032769024/ch0041906

John Ratzenberger was the voice of a school of Moonfish in the movie Finding NEMO.

On top of that movie credit to his name, he is the founder of a program with very similar ideals of FIRST.

Re: Game Hint #1

How about a game similar to a kids carnval game where you use a magnet and a stick to pull fish out of a barrel.

I would like to see a game based upon A Big Fat Greek Wedding - where we pick up plates and smash them on the floor. Opah!

So what we need from the GDC in the next clue / hint is a reference to any lyric on the Pink Floyd album "Darkside of the Moon."

But... there is only one thing that is getting to me with that new find. The Opa (or Moonfish) is a loner fish & are not usually found in schools* going by all the descriptions we have found so far, so why would Pixar make them a school???

Kind of odd.

If that is true then i think most people will have trouble using the camera to drive the bot.

The only thing i can think of is having it identify colored "fish" and some colors are worth more, also the more points the "fish" are the heavier they might be,to take longer to reel in.

Well done! That opens up several new fertile fields of speculation.

And I had just decided that this would be my last check of the thread. I thought reading it any further would be pointless. Thanks for giving me a reason to indulge my addiction. :-P

(Didn't we already find that moonfish are solitary, and don't do schools?)

Yeah, I'm questioning that (The Pixar representation of them as a school) a few posts later:

The fish in finding nemo may be called moonfish, but the clue most certainly does not look like the fish in the movie by any means.

Also, I once saw an episode of Iron Chef where the "secret ingredient" was Opah...and those fish are HUGE!
