The only reason I guessed it was Claymore was because it was the only description featuring exclusively (capable) women :feelsgoodman

@zimbardo @Farfalla I can't play the audio files, they say they're unavailable to me

Could you access them before - or is this the first time you have tried?

They seem to work for me, from a different PC

I spoke with Farfy and she is obviously a far kinder person than I am.

We have decided to include a poll to decide what to do about this Bonus round.

Now, I get that some teams may have already guessed some [possibly even correctly], but this game is meant to be (hopefully) enjoyable for everyone - not just masochistic guys like me.

As for the * on the 2nd option

Yes, but make it so that the scores are worth less after the hints than before*

I was considering that people can PM Farfy and I with the answers they've already guessed - these answers will be worth more [if correct] than the ones given after the hints are offered.

Hints will not be specific to individual songs - but general statements about the number of games on which console, or games which were released around a specific time, or games of a specific genre... things like that

If some team has already guessed 90% of the answers, firstly congrats!
Secondly, I don't want to punish the fact that you've already succeeded without hints.

Please vote and I will decide what to do, based on the votes, when I next have a break from analysis.

Also, if anyone has any alternative suggestions (alternative to 2, for example), please feel free to say.
At the end of the day, as far as I'm concerned this is your game - Farfy and I just make the questions, we don't actually have to play it

If it’s more general hints like that it could work. We’ve definitely not got many right yet so it’s not like the hints wouldn’t benefit us as much as everyone else. I’m fine either way.

OOOH NEVERMIND I GOT ANOTHER ONE! Spirits lifted.

Copy Panda · May 7, 2019

I tried earlier on phone, didn't work but thought it'd be fine on PC. But that hasn't worked either. I'm not sure if I need a specific app to play the file?

Ok - I've made a SoundCloud playlist
Tell me if it works (or not - so I can try to find yet another way to fix it)
:verily

The A's are from Video Games and the B's are from TV Shows

Copy Panda · May 7, 2019

Yes, soundcloud works just fine. Thank you :verily

I didn't vote in the poll because there wasn't an option that was exclusively for moaning.

I didn't include a category because I know you'd only moan about a category being included, had I done so...

What can I say, I like to moan. :hurrgasm

Not like I'd produce better hints, but I wonder if someone playing is like 'Oh! Only released on the Megadrive™? Eureka!'

Making it way too easy now.

Too bad the actual hints haven’t helped me one bit and all the ones we have, we got before your dropped the hints... :notlikethis

It's a fine balance - kinda hard to not ruin someone's hard work, when everyone keeps their damn lists secret
:nah

I mean, it's pretty much why I was so hesitant to offer hints - I really don't want to punish people who had [somehow] managed to guess the answers without needing them
:noworry

Also, at least you can now tick off the categories/if a cartoon or not from the ones you've alreay got sorted - might help narrow down the ones you are missing/jog ye olde memory
