Well, I guess I'll get cracking on the episode three cards...
(so far, I've only completed NSTAV, OOTP and TMC card sets). Easy enough, though. Thanks for utilizing, Red, although I'm actually more intrigued by your scavenger hunt in the other thread, because it allows for common situations that might appear in many episodes and I'm curious to see how many people and how many episodes)... Shall be playing both!
ALSO - if you haven't yet mastered the art of copying images to your hard drive/jump drive, and would find it easier to save and print these cards (both Red's and mine) to play on paper, here is the VERY easy way to do so:
Move your mouse pointer over the image (the bingo/scavenger card image in Red's posts) and 1) PC: right-click on the image and select "save as" or "save image as" or something like that... not a PC person in years) or 2) MAC: CONTROL-click (simultaneously press the CONTROL key and mouse button) on the image and select "save image as"). You will get a dialog box allowing you to rename the file and select where to save it on your hard drive/jump drive. It's that easy (and BONUS: you can use this same trick to save your favorite pics of Mick/Josef/Coraline/Beth/Alex/Jason/Shannon/Sophia in any of the other threads on this board).
AND ONE LAST GAME NOTE: I'm assuming since this is airing only in US (not sure about Canada), we'll be doing it in our own time zones (ie, at least East/West coast time zones) and the int'l folks will just play along with whatever works for you all. Thus, I am assuming we will end up with multiple "winners." So, I will be watching to see who wins on the East Coast, because we will be playing later than them. However,
it would be good for everyone to pick a card prior to the East Coast airing, so that no one "cheats" by selecting the winning card after seeing which card won the East Coast version. Yes, I know how clever you all are
, so I'm just puttin' it out there to save the "answer bitch" from having to field the question later.
And yes, just so you know, I have NO IDEA which card wins, so I will be playing along. I created these a couple of years ago and I don't remember even paying attention then to which card would be the winner. I was more worried about finding enough images/elements to be able to create enough cards to make it interesting and challenging. I think I will play the "free Beth" card, since one of the main themes of this episode is her captivity as a child
.
Anyway, I hope folks enjoy a new wrinkle on our old obsession! LLML!
Finally, I'm interested in knowing if any of you fanatics know the show SO WELL, that you can look at these cards and pick the winner without even watching the show. After all, this is just for fun and so I don't really care who actually wins when we play, and I am SUPER CURIOUS about that (I am often astounded at some of the comments in the pic threads, etc. that reveal how well people know the scenes/episodes). Anyway, if you can do this, I will personally crown you SUPER BINGO CHAMPION!
(but again, please don't post this info until after we've all played the game so as to avoid revealing the winning card - I'll take your word for it that you were able to do it!)
for HotMicks - again for producing the beautiful cards and allowing us to use them, and also for the instructions on how to save/print.
