TSA E3 Bingo: Staff Picks

If this goes anything like last year we will only display our ignorance. Still it is just for fun right?  A year ago Chris and Peter tied for the win as both of them correctly picked a massive three out of twelve.  They were beaten by ten members of the community with billygoat getting five correct picks and nine others, including the then non-staff Tuffcub, getting four.  So I guess technically, out of this year’s staff, Tuffcub won last year, but don’t tell him okay, we spend enough of the day massaging his ego as it is.

Here is the list of items from this year’s E3 Bingo that the staff have picked ordered from most- to least-picked.  The number at the end in brackets is how many of us (out of the eleven staff entries) picked that item.
