Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog

I can't believe there's game hint talk in the summer.

I think the key word is tested with his head.

What can you test with your head? Maybe he "headed" a ball over a bar or something?

I don't think he'd use his head to test the durability of something.... would he?

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog

Reminds me how I got my "Tetraman" nickname. I put a Tetra on my head, and the rest is history.

I'm guessing something similar happened.

And I think the most important part to take from this blog statement more then "using his head" is the part that says - we’re really striving for clarity and brevity, but it’s a lot harder than it looks. I sense that this game is going to have a lot of things to do and watch out for unlike Lunacy where there were only 3-5 rules that really changed things.

I'm thinking Lamp Shades. Nothing is more fun to put on your head than a lamp shade. Besides, I hear the GDC is filled with party animals.

So now Dave is "inflatable clown man"? "jelloman"? "JiffyPop Puppies-man"?
(You'll have to ask Dave about that one...)

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog

I noticed the part about tested with his head and I thought about the leather football helmets from back in the day. Those were so cool.

Edit: Oh wait! used his head... that could be literally or it could mean he thought of a different way to test.

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog

Like all other game hints, this is surely a Red Herring. I mean, what on Earth (or Mars) could be of consequence that involves Dave's head?

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog

That picture must have taken a long time to make. Did you make it or was it copy & paste.

Back to the point, the object could be a traffic cone. Maybe Dave put it on his head?

Re: New game clue from Bill's Blog

A quick copy and paste. I'm nowhere near that talented.

VLC The Game has a nice ring to it. In retrospect, that would mean the default software would come with every single piece of code we'd ever need.
