Yu-Gi-Oh is confusing. I mean, why doesn't somebody just walk over, knock them over the head and tear up their cards? Also, why do they play a card game to decide the fate of the world?

Why didn't the villain kill Bond when he had the chance, rather then putting him in an escapable death-trap? Suspension of disbelief is paramount.

I'd hardly say thats equivalent of the stupidity surrounding the basic plot of Yugi-oh!

It's just a card game. Don't feed me all that "Its based on ancient Egyptian magic!" crap either. Cardboard. Cardboard and ink. Kick Yugi in the mouth, take his cards, drop them in a puddle. The end.

Also, Pokemon advocates animal cruelty. It's just a more whimsical version of cockfighting. "Hey look everyone! An entire world filled with exotic, magical creatures! LETS CATCH THEM, CONFINE THEM TO WALNUT-SIZED PRISONS, AND ONLY LET THEM OUT WHEN WE WANT THEM TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER!"

It originated from the practice of Japanese schoolboys to catch grasshoppers (and perhaps other critters), keep them in matchboxes and have them fight each other.

Actually, the reason he plays games so much is expanded upon in the original Manga. he can only hurt people through getting them to play games with him. Once they accept his challenge, Yugi can do some horrible things to them. Plus, he loves games. not just trading cards, but logic puzzles, board-games, air-hockey, Yo-yos, he'll play them all.

I don't trust anything that was created as an afterthought to a commercial product. And that's all I has to say.

I suggest you watch Yu-Gi-Oh the abridged series.

The only good thing that ever came out of Yugi-Oh. Truth.

Surprisingly enough, the comic book came before the cards.

That's called preemptive marketing.

Strike Witch 08-27-2009 01:11 PM

For shits and giggles.

It's not, it was never the writers intention to base three quarters of his story around childrens trading cards.

It just kind of happened.

Really? Reeeaaally? I suppose I'll have to take your word for it. But I have doubts.

For serial! He plays tons of different games all over the story, plays the card game, goes on to others, then goes back to it for that tournament thing that was the first part of the TV show.

OANST 08-27-2009 01:23 PM

Okay. I just looked it up. You are right. I admit defeat. I still won't have anything to do with it, but I admit it isn't merely a marketing scheme.

I was going to make the same suggestion.

Both Verpets and Yu-Gi-OH are a pile of wank.

Didn't stop me playing it when I was a wee lad

OddYouko 08-28-2009 04:04 PM

I started collecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards a long time ago. I didn't even know how to play the darn game. I just liked getting all the different cards. :p
Don't do it anymore...they have all these crappy new so called Yu-Gi-Oh crap now! :dead: :mad:

Yeah..I knew some people would think that about Verpets. Oh well.
Next time I'll make a stinken Blog...:nonono:
Thanks to the users that did join anyway. ^^

T-nex 08-30-2009 01:09 PM

I guess Ill join too... Cos I have bad taste in games and I need something to pass time with when I'm on the boring internet... So far I only have Owf, Youtube, and some other things...

Also i used to like virtual pet sites ^^ If it's anything like the current Neopets I'm not going to stay though.

OddYouko 08-30-2009 07:11 PM

Thanks T-nex! =P

Oh! Believe me, it isn't! Dx Current Neopets is crap! *gags*
No offence to those who still actually go to Neo. <_<

Thanks again everyone!
Would the one's that joined give me their usernames? Sorry to keep asking but I'd like to maybe message and help out if you're planning on trying it out. But if not..then that's ok too. :)
