the only one i can make out is "body"

also there is a silouhette behind the fish
if you're doing that, you can just flip the canvas horizontally to see them not backwards... multiple layers of text on top of each other.
i think this has been covered though

Australian fish commision

with the fact of the new regional in New Zealand there might be another avenue to search
The New Zealand regional got canceled for this year. Also, Australia and New Zealand are rather different countries.

Re: Game Hint #1

Ahh , FIRST is in the air. Ok my personal opinion. If this clue was for a water game that would be too easy, FIRST wants us to think long and hard about this one. So im calling NO WATER game. It would be robot genocide. Thats my personal thought.

Cant wait to see everyone at kickoff!

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

* never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know whats been going on
We know the game and were gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

(* repeat)

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Sorry Lenny, I was just trying to pass the time and maybe make a few people laugh. As of right now, I think that's what this post is: a place for humor. What good is a bunch of speculation about a picture of a fish?

Re: Game Hint #1

This is very interesting...
I was looking up information on opahs when I realized that I had heard of opah before for something. I looked up the acronym for OPAH and I found a project funded by the Navy on underwater robotics.

I searched around the Navy's website until I reached the recruitment page and my mom got scared and said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air. I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror if anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-air.

Lets avoid the internet memes in our speculations unless the GDC actually gives us one.

Re: Game Hint #1

I agree with ttldomination about its not a water game. it looks like a hat or something but ill be waiting for hint #2. It might make it simple for us to figure the game out.
