Re: [BB]: got'ta go

Don't you mean the several times a game idea thread comes up, Dave? (Oh, and the waterproof Victor thread, too--I think they're doing secret research for the 2011 water game.)

Re: [BB]: got'ta go

Hahaha. There's plenty of talk of food in this year's subtle hints. It definitely calls into question as to what the game object can be. Please no one say it's food...

Re: [BB]: got'ta go

Not to press the point ...

but, well, did anyone do a search for got'ta go?

And it is true that at the last minute when you are typing, you will write something quickly but it just seems funny in an impulsive kind of way.

interestingly enough, the top hit is this website:
http://www.gottagogottathrow.com/
It is a frisbee-golf disc maker. Perhaps a game piece? more likely, getting us off track as always.
curious though.

Re: [BB]: got'ta go

My thoughts on "got'ta go"

1)The first result on GOOGLE is for a company that sells Frisbees .....Finally at long last Frisbee game elements!!!!!!

2) "got'ta go" could be the name of the game.

i dont want to start a game possibilities discussion, but perhaps a delay from the time you move the robot to its reaction? maybe during certain times of the game?

Hmmm... make a game out of that

HMS Pinafore, the captain and crew on the use of a certain word starting with D.

Although with Dave and the GDC, "hardly ever" may very well mean "hardly ever not"...

Re: [BB]: got'ta go

In disc golf, I rather like the goals and how they are made. They are fun to watch.

Also, Evan's suggestion about Dave's almost quote is worth the search. It's fun. And silly. And you know, well, Dave.
