Week 3 Recap

11 participants played 11 bingo cards and moved 40 games out of their backlogs!

There were 3 bingo wins. Congrats to u/dannydotcafe, u/kfwyre, and u/Wes! 🎉

Nearly 70% of the games played this week had a one or two word title (one = 38%, two = 28%)

The kitchen was a feature this week, with "knife", "eggs", "coffee", "garbage", and "Pepsi" being mentioned in game titles.

If you play magnetic poetry with the titles, you can uncover some sage wisdom:

The darkest coffee must fandango.
Literature is irritating; torment.
Die, prodigal robot beasts of the midtown.
Katamari Caravan: stick, room, Tokyo, Sun

Also, in my rush last week to get the recap up, I forgot to celebrate u/Wes's win from Week 1. So, additional congratulations!

Only 1 game this time had an ALL CAPS TITLE, but 9 games had PARTIAL CAps titles.

The shortest title was 5 characters: Venba

The longest title was 12 words: Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch (The witch of the Ihanashi)

We had the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 7 represented. Half of the digits!
(Note that this only works if I read "I Expect You to Die" as "One: Expect You to Die", which I do)
