Game Hints & Animatino of Years Past

[Joe G.]

I believe that 2003 was the first year of game annimations.

As for hints...

2007 (closeup of tube on a spider)



2006: five 'bots tangling with pasta
a game piece obsessed with a shovel's show
and seeing Montana's green heights

5 referred to the backbot, pasta referred to bumpers
I forget how, but the second line referred to shooting
and Montana's green heights implied camera use, as well as Joe Montana -> throwing

Those are the same hints that I have (hand)written down in my notebook. Also the same hints that are archived in our team's forum, which are directly copy/pasted from the FIRST emails.

It did indeed point to a Zamboni factory. Also, Blip, the manufacturer of the Orbit Balls, is based out of Minnetonka (on Minnetonka Blvd).

Shovel = David Spade, his show = "Just Shoot Me", so you're shooting the balls.

I don't think the Joe Montana thing was intentional, since they mentioned shooting the previous line.

i always thought the just shoot me reference was about the use of the camera since it was a show about a fashion magazine and the title was a play on words referring to cameras

Well, the line is "a game piece obsessed with a shovel's show". So it would make more sense that the game piece would be obsessed with being shot than it being obsessed with cameras.

On the other hand, those game animations bring back good memories.

Just thought I'd Point that out.
