This is our final XP Waste episode of 2025, and it’s basically a year-end hangout where I (Oxy) and Michael come off the back of yet another TNL Fall Bingo and unpack what actually happened—on the show, in the clan, and in our own goals. We talk about how bingo is the one time of year we don’t interact daily, why I have a full-on trauma response to DMs during events, and how Michael nearly had me thinking something catastrophic happened… when he really just wanted to flex a Coliseum clear. We get into the real meat: what worked in Skill Tree Bingo 2, what absolutely didn’t (locking Yama behind Yama and Doom behind Doom was an L), and why hiding standings kept VCs alive and motivation high. We shout out the grinders (197 hours of VC is deranged), talk partial points (I was against it for years; I was wrong), and how RNG can make you feel like a genius or a clown depending on the day. Also: Michael finally ended his Pharaoh’s Sceptre drought, my team hit some truly cursed dry streaks, and we’re already talking how to cook for 2026—earlier fall bingo timing, cleaner gimmicks, and keeping the vibes immaculate even when the drops are not.
