E3 Bingo Card for TBT?

[Sonicdude41]

Yeah, I know that Joystiq is usually responsible for bingo cards. But here's an idea: What if we have an exclusive bingo card for TBT?

I'm just throwing this out there. If there's enough support for it, then I'm game for it. What about you guys?

What?

-_- Raise your hand if you're not familiar with the E3 Bingo Cards that Joystiq releases every year.

Here is an example of what Joystiq did in preparation for last year's E3. It's a bingo card made up of predictions that users submitted. If the company announces something that's on the card, you get to mark it off.

I was hoping that we could do something similar here.... You know, make a TBT exclusive one.

I see no one won.

:0
Yeah, we should.

When is E3?

 

[Sonicdude41]

E3 is about 4 weeks from this past Tuesday.

I think if we all pitch in and create the bingo card, we could have it done just in time for E3!

What do you think?

 

[The Sign Painter]

Pikmin 3 should be on it.

Pikmin 3 should be on it.

So I take it that this is the first prediction that we want on the card?

If this is the case, then we'll do it. Of course, I can't do this alone. Would anyone like to assist in the creation of TBT's first E3 bingo card?

I don't really care about this, but you'll probably want to specify whether you want Nintendo-only or non-console-specific suggestions.

Ah, good point.

I was thinking we could have a one-card-for-all scenario, but that would get messy fairly quickly.

It looks like we only have time for one (which will more than likely be Nintendo)... unless there are 2 other people who want to create the Microsoft and Sony bingo cards.

Here's one: Natal looks as gimmicky as the Wii. :gyroiddance:

Sure, why not? We'll put it in here.

And more executive shenanigans. There's ALWAYS executive shenanigans.

I think this idea would also work as a monthly sort of thing, just you randomize them and give them to TBT Members, then host a topic as they happen.

That was mostly a joke... "gimmicky" is a rather subjective assessment. Some people could see it and think it deserved a mark, others wouldn't.

I'm bad at detecting jokes over the internet, then. lol

Perhaps this could make the card a bit more interesting. Users could see whether or not they marked it off.

@Nevermore: A monthly thing? Elaborate further if you would, please.

Every month you would have people submit squares (SPAM ATTACK, Tye's Rage, Banhammer Time, yada yada) for a card, then you would assemble it however you liked. You would show the card a week before the month began, then have them place a bet of 100 TBT bells on which row/column/diagnol they thought would win. Once you reach a bingo, you take all the bells and divide them amongst the winners. If no one wins, you take that money and put it towards the next game. You catch my drift?

I get where you're going with it, though I'm not still not sure how it would be implemented when applied to E3. >_<

I guess I just need to see the system to fully grasp the concept. Perhaps you could try to get it going.
