[Team#2057-Vegas]

i agree with both of you.

just at the same time.. its even the little things that point to it.. (: we may be looking for train stuff.. but at the same time it really could be.. that darn GDC and darn dave aha

This got me thinking, just like last year, how they only showed one piece of the game which was a piece of the twoer where the ball woudl fall from, maybe they are doign the same this year? Only this year they are talking about the camera uses in the game this the picture being reversed and in black and white. Maybe it means there is a target with similar properties?

or maybe the clue has no relevance and we are just being screwed with

it ALWAYS has some type of relevance.. even small things sometimes

The relevance could be that there is no relevance: We know the game isnt going to be about 60s singers...

Right?

[h1n1is4pigs]

i dont even think we can be sure that it wont be about 60's singers all that we can really be sure about is there will be a game

The 2011 pix is Little Eva - famous song "Loco-motion" - does that hint a railroad activity or simply "Loco" or crazy motion?

Trying to rouse Parliament from its apathy on the issue, he said in a speech, would be like trying to 'flog a dead horse' to make it pull a load. This is the first recorded use of the expression, which is still common for 'trying to revive interest in an apparently hopeless issue.' Bright's silver tongue is also responsible for 'England is the mother of Parliament,' and 'Force is not a remedy,' among other memorable quotations. He was wrong about the Reform Bill of 1867, however. Parliament 'carried' it, as the British say." From the "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997."

By just looking for connections to trains because that was our initial reaction, we may not see other clues because we are not looking for them.

Or maybe that's what they want us to think! The hint is exactly what we are saying, it's just that even if we figure out what the hint really is, it isn't the right encryption code for the PDF or the elaborate design of the FIRST game. Hints are fairly useless even if we do figure it out.

good design tetraman

and i forget who came up with the idea but kudos to them as well. Would definitely be an interesting and exciting game!
