E3 2012 Bingo Thread - Get Hype!

Same reason the Xbox 360 should get a price cut. Hardware sales are down all around.
Square named the sequel "012" or "duodecim" so I have no idea how they're going to number the next sequel >_>

Cammie Dunaway left Nintendo in 2010.
GAF decides - can I claim the Bungie space now because of the leak today?
boiled goose
good with gravy
He's only going to get about 2 hits on that card anyway.
I disagree, unless you're making a card specifically for the press conference announcements.

Well the Bingo cards can be conference specific, or for all of E3, but you cant start ticking off boxes until the conferences start at least. Not before E3 has even started!
But y'see, that means that box is invalid. If something is announced before E3, it can't be announced *during* E3, meaning that box can never be ticked off.
I don't really think that's fair. As long as the bingo card was made before the announcement, I don't see the problem.

Then update the Bingo Card before the event kicks off!
...in which case you might as well tick the box off now. That's kinda my point.
That's not how you play Bingo!

I believe it is an observation he flicks his hair occasionally!
You usually do not get the bingo card days before playing the game
Majora's Mask 3DS is not gonna happen this year, I can tell you this. Aonuma said the next 3DS Zelda would be a brand new one.
I guess that's true, but that does heighten one other issue with not allowing this: So much stuff is being leaked right now, how do you make a bingo card that has a chance without having *too much* of a chance?
I think it's best to stick with a card made up of suggestions from before they were known, and be true to that card, even if things have become known since then.
(I'm hoping my generator will get by that by relegating all the things we know to 1-pointers, so other guesses will fill out the harder spaces making the card still interesting without being trivial)

In my case I made my cards about a week ago for each conference, but as things get confirmed, I replace them with other ideas we do not know about. Don't want to make it too easy.
Okay, WIP update for the bingo card generator!

People have done a good job of adding entries, but things are a little light on the images; that's not a huge problem since the text should still work, but it might not end up being a very *visual* card.
A number of the images aren't coming with explanatory text. The alt-text on the image will be the string at the left, so the information will be there, but text would help too.
I've cross-referenced many with last years' images and reused some old ones if they're appropriate. It'd also be handy to know if there's anything I've missed that's now pretty much certain - as indicated above, I'd like to keep including them, but reduce the difficulty to '1'.
You can ignore the magic squares section and all the complicated stuff over on the right; that's just me setting myself up for easy data entry into the application when necessary.
It's also the last call for adding any further entries. I'd suggest Microsoft's section is a little sparse, and Sony could do with a few more - while Nintendo has absolutely tons. Bear in mind that each group will be consolidated by the General section, too. I'd like to go live on Friday, so there's a bit of time over the weekend for last-minute tinkering, but hopefully I should be able to get the generator up and running before the E3 OTs go live.

That's cool Bingo. Very flashy and colorful bingo.
I think our bingo would start on June 1(JST), right?

Touch wood, that's when my generator will be finished. Provided I can face making the final coding push on Friday night!
After the Game Informer announce today and confirmation the next Gears will be at E3, I am on fire. Hopefully the Quantic Dream rumor was real. (BTW - After the feedback, I'm not counting the Bungie space because while the title was "revealed", we still don't know definitively if it is an MMO. Also the TR news and Gears news were E3 related; that one wasn't. But who knows?)
Here's our card from Video Game Hangover! In case it wasn't obvious, it's almost entirely tongue-in-cheek. =)

2 Down. Really hope some of my "not gonna happens" actually happen
It is done! 2012 E3 conference bingo card generator can be found at http://bit.ly/KG7vFM . There's a dropdown at the bottom to pick the particular conference you want; I'll try to update the defaults after each conference so it's constantly up-to-date, but if not, you can pick your own.
I'd recommend going for one 'normal' and one 'cruel' card for each conference; normals might possibly be a little too easy, we'll see how it pans out.

BINGO!!!
You're whole bottom row was bound to happen. They were all pretty much a sure thing. Wasn't it supposed to be things that you never expected in every row?

I wasn't personally expecting representation from Japan or for SmartGlass to be true, which was leaked after I made the card IIRC.
