I will be hosting another round of NeoGAF Bingo this year! There will be two nights of Bingo over this Holiday season. The first night will be Friday, December 28th at 5:00PM EST, while the second night will be Saturday, January 5th at 5:00PM EST.
Here is a clickable card generator for you!

Rules for Bingo:
1) You must post your Bingo card in this thread before the round starts. If the game has already started, you can post your card to get in on the next round. Hopefully, we will get a random Bingo card generator up and running again this year. It is encouraged that you stick with a single round for the whole night, but it is not mandatory.
2) I will state all the prize bundles before the night begins.
3) I will start a round by declaring what prize bundle is up for grabs. Everyone should clear their boards at this time.
4) I will then begin to announce drawings on ~20 second intervals by simply posting them here. It will look like this:

Other people can still post in this thread, but you should be able to pick the drawing out because it will be underlined, in bold, and attached to a red name.
5) If you get 5 in a row in any direction (column, row, or diagonal), post "bingo." If two people win off the same drawing, then the first person to post "bingo" is the winner. After you have called Bingo, please follow up with your winning numbers and a link to your card.
Other specific rules because we're playing on the internet:
1) Once you have posted your card, you cannot edit that post under any circumstances. This minimizes the chances of people changing their card to create a winner.
2) If you would like to post a new card to replace an old one, please go back and edit the old card out. This is to avoid people trying to have two cards and choose which one to hand in depending on which wins first. You can also keep the same card (and thus same post) throughout, if that is what you would prefer.
3) Your board does not have to be reposted between rounds, but it does need to be reposted between Bingo days. That is, even if you want to use the same card you used for Bingo last month, you must repost it for this game. This allows for tidier book keeping for me, and greatly improves my ability to make sure everyone has one card only.
4) Prizes will be handed out after all rounds have finished, to minimize downtime between sessions.

Lastly, Enjoy the Bingo games! This is more about our generous, happy community, more than it is actually winning prizes. Although prizes are also fun. Let's all be grateful for a community that makes this sort of thing possible.
