 Trufax: The episode title comes from me half paying attention and still wanting to say something.

-I won a box of MTG15. The guy who I beat for the box beat me on Sunday. but i still got the box lol.

-There is one key difference though, between online TCGs and paper and that is scarcity. On an online game such as Duels Of The Planeswalkers and Hearthstone, is that your packs are only limited by the roll of a die, or using "credits" to purchase another card that can appear instantly. In paper Magic, prices shift, and what you can get is limited by what is opened and what is printed. For example, in Magic, cards that come out earlier in a block are cheaper than those that come out in the beginning because more packs are opened.

In theory, digital TCG can have their cards available forever all the time. 

PART 2- ROLLIN' AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND




Go home, everybody. OH YOU WANT MORE? Fine...

-The Sun is dead? I fucking hate that rag!

-For those of you further behind, "Barkerville" was a song John Drake did as part of the promotion for the Amplitude KickStarter. It was based off a song from Castlevania II when he was on the Giant Bomb livestream.


-Magic The Gathering has had dozens of games over the years, and those that aren't strictly the card game are pretty much like the Mega Man Battle Network: Cast "spells" move around your side of the map and try not to die.


-Fun fact, Silicon Knights were supposed to do Eternal Darkness 2 and 3 after the Too Human Trilogy. Then they tried to KickStarter the sequel, BUT OOPS THEY FUCKED UP BAD.

-First result for "Yu-Gi-Oh Ghost Shark"

-SHARKS ARE FISH. THIS IS YOUR DAILY REMINDED.

-Speaking of "My Uncle Works At Nintendo" stories, my little brother "heard from a friend at school" that there were going to be God Pokemon (this was back in 1998...) that you can unlock through bullshit. 15 years later, MEGA EVOLUTIONS. He was still way fucking wrong, but one has to wonder...

-The ultimate Triple Triad Video:


-Brother just got out of Battle Of The Gods (the Dragonball Z movie). Apparently it was sooooo good. Spoiler alert: I don't care.

-I'm not going to talk about Nagano Winter Olympics. Instead, here's Hotei:
