I think the truth is that this fish carries a torch for great songs:

On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.

Man, I love that song. Rock on red herring.

The first thing that caught my eye was the diamond plat like pattern on the fish so maybe there is a piece of diamond plat in the middle of the field. Always remember to read into Dave's clues they are never what they seam to be.

So the 2009 game was based around going fishing in New Jersey?

Nice.

Re: New Game Progress

well if it is an Atlantic red haring it could be indicating any other state on the eastern seaboard








i think theres a pink floyd cover like that picture of new jersey what was it animals? dont seem to remember a fish song though!



based on that im going to assume the game will include some sort of flying pig balloon! or a laser light system!

Now I just want to see Cory literally eat this thread.

My bet is that the new game will be an interesting design challenge, that challenges us to use the full abilities of the new controller. How about that for a general answer.
