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.

Game hint? What game hint?

All I knew was that it was "some type of Hawaiian fish" because on of our students told me. Since you know what type of fish, you've obviously spent too much time already.

Only because I ate some in Hawaii last week and someone told me "hey you're eating the game hint!"

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 occasionally check the thread to see if there are any real interesting new ideas...not following too closely though...

John, this year I've joined the ranks of the grumpy old mentors who have seen too many of these game hints to get excited by them anymore. I think its easier this year to ignore them with the new control system to play with.

But its always good to see the younglings get excited about the game hints every year, but wake me up when someone actually figures out something useful... January will come soon enough, hopefully this will be the first year I don't loose any sleep before build season starts... I know I'll be loosing enough sleep once season starts trying to pull a rookie team through build season...

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.....
