Re: [BB] Flash update IV

I feel that the official game hint #1 was worth 2 game hints. Last year's hints were rather vague, and only made sense in hindsight.

Although... Flash Update IV... like

...

Star Wars: Episode IV


Maybe the game will start with a tractor beam.

The hints are usually pretty obtuse until around you see the game.

However I think the CD community is right in the general opinion that the word FLASH in all the update titles is 2nd hint. The roman numerals may also be part of the hint.

Re: [BB] Flash update IV

It makes me think the game will be like a scavenger hunt/obstacle course like game. With multiple things being posted I feel like there will be multiple tasks that we can accomplish.

Re: [BB] Flash update IV

In my opinion I don't believe there will be another game hint but there is always a possibility.

Re: [BB] Flash update IV

He wouldn't toy with us like he is if there isn't another game hint. Expect 1 or 2 more "flash" updates to finish off all of the details of tomorrow's events THEN expect the game hint.

I would love to see Bill write a little story about this years clues and all this guessing. Something like, " That kid in the 8th post almost got it and we started to think how we could mess with them."

I tried the stream tests referenced in this post. The high resolution gives me audio but no picture... What's with that?

Re: [BB] Flash update IV

i think that "Flash" has something to do with the game because all those posts could have easily been condensed into a single Blog post. It's fishy. Same with the light word association with Luminaries and Flash....

Re: [BB] Flash update IV

IV is really just 4
Which is the leading number in 40,000
First is a LEAGUE of robots
40,000+League = 40,000 Leagues under the sea

Theres your water game connection. Its pretty obvious if you ask me. Poor hint encryption FIRST.
