X-Wing Preview Article Forum Reaction Bingo!

By Rodafowa, in X-Wing

If you're anything like me (and I hope for your sake you're not) then you might have noticed certain... recurring themes that crop up on the forum in the wake of FFG preview articles for new X-Wing expansions. So I thought - given that we've got the Shadow Caster preview coming on Monday and then the mysteries of Heroes Of The Resistance and whatever GenCon brings following soon after that - there must be some way of taking this nagging feeling of deja vu and turning it into cold hard likes.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER - This is intended as a light-hearted nod toward popular forum tropes. No personal criticism is intended of anyone who has expressed, is currently expressing or will express any of these opinions. You're not a bad person for wanting FFG to release the Gunboat. Please drink responsibly. Your investment in 3 K-Wings can go down as well as up. If your game of X-Wing lasts longer than 12 hours, please consult your doctor.

And thus without even the merest hint of the faintest suggestion of anything so much as approaching further ado I give to you - X-WING PREVIEW ARTICLE FORUM REACTION BINGO!

...or, as I just realised I should have called it, "X-WINGO!"

Comments? Suggestions? Have you got a favourite that I missed? TALK TO ME GOOSE!

If you don't mind, I would get a blast out of posting this sheet filled with corresponding Xs in the next preview thread!

I don't think everyone's supposed to fill their entire card instantly in Bingo...

Lol so true

I take issue with square B1. :P

One of the best threads I've seen in a long time!

I take issue with square B1. :P

Is it not accurate though?

Only in the instance of the TIE Punisher, I think.

Bingo!

Wait, have we not started yet?

I think B-2 Gunboat is all wrong. It should be the free space with all the clamor it has received. :D

You forgot having someone respond to a good looking card/pilot with 'meh'.

Don't forget "Rules error in the article's text."

Also, "Massive excitement over new combo that obviously doesn't work if you actually read the card or understand the rules of the game."

So, if we check "overpriced generics" five times, is that bingo? :P

*marks square on sheet*

This thread needs a medium base tbh.

Don't forget "Rules error in the article's text."

Also, "Massive excitement over new combo that obviously doesn't work if you actually read the card or understand the rules of the game."

Also annoyed that I missed "Looks Too Much / Not Enough Like A TIE Fighter."

Awesome.

One thing that you seemed to miss is the scramble to make combos with new upgrades and pilots based on interactions that don't work the way that the poster thinks that they do.

I don't have any idea how to make that fit into a bingo square.

"misguided optimism"?

That fits a wide range of scenarios, though :P

HAHAHHA! Awesome! I think I already got Bingo just from reading threads this morning.

OP, you win the internet for today. Well done.

You, sir (or ma'am); are peerless in my book. Lampooning the X-Wing forum is always worthwhile.

I can't wait to play bingo Monday with the preview of that new Star Trek ship. Mobile firing arcs... what a gimmick!

I have been having trouble with my torpedo and I thought Guidance Chips would help, but. . .I think the mechanic is still broken.
