That's right! The time has come to put on your bifocals and mosey on over to the local community center for a game of ye olde Bingo.

Here we will set forth a series of tasks on yon board, and is is thine task to complete as many as thou mayst. Ok I'll stop.

You can view the board in the spoiler here:

Each tile on the board corresponds to the name of a task in the list below. It's pretty simple really: complete a task to fill in the corresponding tile. Complete enough tasks to earn a Charm! 

There are actually a number of Charms available, in a tiered fashion. Each tier up replaces the Charm before it:

  1. T1: Line
    1. Complete a single full line, the classic BINGO!
  2. T2: Criss-cross
    1. Complete two lines to create a Cross/"X"
    2. I would also accept a "T"
  3. T3: Box
    1. Complete all 4 outer lines
  4. T4: Blackout
    1. Complete the entire board
    2. Yes, I realize this would take a lot of effort to complete within a week, welcome to tiered event awards

 

To make things even MORE interesting, there are also 3 SECRET Charms you can earn! Unlike the tiered Charms above it IS possible to earn ALL 3 of the secret charms. This would be incredibly difficult to do, but don't let that keep you from trying! Complete as much of the board as you can for a chance to take home more site awards! I encourage you to talk in the thread here to try and deduce what might be required to unlock the secrets of the board!

 

There will be a separate submission thread where you will post what you have done. For each tile submission, make a post with the name of the tile(s) you're submitting. For instance, if a tasks is to beat a game, you must post a photo as evidence, with a paper showing your VGS username.

If a task requires video proof, you must post a link to your video.

For anything which requires that you create something, you may attach the file to your post as an attachment, or on another hosting site (google drive, dropbox, etc.).

If you are submitting a task which requires that you post in another thread on VGS, link to that post in your submission. Every post on the site has a "Share" icon, which will give you a direct link to the post:

Had this been on any other week, I might have gotten a single line.  But it was a perfect storm of being on vacation, my wife returning to work, and the kiddos having not started school.  So I worked

I'm in. 

To clarify, All the items can be things you have previously accomplished, as long as it meets the rules and submission requirements, except "You Scratch My Back" and "Particip ant".  Right?

Anything that is retroactive states as such.

For instance, you can't just cross off the NES Contest task for having participated in the past.

Mind you, there are plenty that are like, post a photo of a graded game. If you already own a graded game, hey easy, post a pic and you're good.

Let me know if you're curious about a specific tile.

Where's that thread about graded Atari games.... I need to contact that guy.

To clarify one randomly - you DO have to develop a NEW GAME for the tiles that say "Make an NES ROM" and "Make a platformer".

The idea with all the tiles is that SOME people should have no problem at all completing them. But those same people will likely also have trouble earning other tiles.

A seasoned NES dev could whip out a quick platformer level in like a day? I dunno that that guy is very interested in platinuming a PS3 game though.
