With the E3 dust beginning to settle, it’s time to see who will have the TSA Bingo bragging rights for the next year! This year saw the highest scores we’ve ever seen, mostly thanks to one twenty-pointer that we thought would never happen!
Just to remind you, the winner is not the person with the most number of correct choices, but the person with the highest score. The points system was weighted towards rewarding those that chose the riskier options that we thought were less likely to happen.
Out of the 80-odd available options, 26 actually occurred, and you can see those below:

So that you can compare your scores against your favourite writers, and so we can see who will hold the bragging rights in TSA Towers, here’s how the staff did:
| Position | TSA Staff | Score |
| 1 | Dave | 35 |
| 2 | Aran | 33 |
| 3 | Dom | 25 |
| 4 | Tuffcub | 14 |
| 5 | Gaz | 11 |
| Jim | 11 | |
| 6 | Stefan | 8 |
| 7 | Kris | 3 |
Dave takes the crown for this year, closely followed by Aran and then Dom – saying that Nintendo would reveal a brand new IP gave all three a big, big boost. Meanwhile, there’s quite a drop to Tuffcub, followed by myself and Jim who are tied, with Stefan and Kris bringing up the rear.
Here’s the bit you’ve been waiting for though, the entrants with the top five highest scores:
| Position | TSA User | Total Score |
| 1 | SkirkRidgeEX (Dave) | 35 |
| 2 | Kennykazey | 34 |
| 3 | OriginalJonty (Aran) | 33 |
| 4 | NicholasHeathfield | 31 |
| 5 | Starman | 30 |
“Fix!” I hear you cry, as yes, it was Dave who came in first place! Just one point behind though was Kennykazey, and a further point away was Aran. Even with Nintendo’s Ever Oasis announcement earning many players 20 points, it was still incredibly close at the top.
Head on over to Page 2 to see the full table in all its glory – there was the largest range of scores we’ve ever seen, ranging from 35 points to just 1!
And with that, we say goodbye to this year’s E3 Bingo. I hope you enjoyed it and we’ll see you next year!

At least I didn’t come last.
Congrats to the winners.
MrYd
Oh, shitcakes. You had to mention last, didn’t you?
Tuffcub
Humph, I only came 4th as the other three picked one of the joke options I added to the list, “A brand new game no established Nintendo characters is revealed [20]”
Stupid bear.
NicholasHeathfield
Whoa. I’ve got vertigo now.
I hereby purchase with this 5 seconds of fame, the following call to action: vote Leave, the EU is ruining Europe!
That’s all folks.

Congrats to the winners, but seriously, 2… two… TWO?! I demand a recount!! :)
MrYd
Oh, are we allowed to do that?
I demand a recount as well! It won’t take long, for obvious reasons.
gazzagb
Both of seemed to go for reasonable picks, you were just unlucky when they were wrong! :P
MrYd
I hope you’re not implying I was being reasonable and not just randomly picking things?
Actually, I think my plan was something along the lines of “that 1 seems obvious, I’d really like that one, here’s a bunch of others selected quite randomly”.
Really should have printed them all out and let Woofy McDogface loose on them to decide for me.
