PodcastUpdate

YCGpodcast Update

Hey so I bet you where wondering why there’s been no Podcast for the past few weeks? Well we finally know the reason! Or at least I finally figured out why. The problem is that Matt’s laptop, which houses all the Podcast files, video files and even editing tools, ran out of battery and Matt misplaced his charging cord for that said laptop. With that, combined with very difficult summer schedules we’ve been unable to get recorded podcasts up.

So, what’s going to happen? Well I’ll tell you, we’ve actually got about 3 podcasts queued up and here’s how hopefully the next few uploads are going to work out. I found Matt’s cord, so the next meeting I see him we’ll be up and running, that’ll be on the 3rd podcast in from here (episode 113)  which we’ll be recording on the 6th, which is 4 days from now. From then on we should be back to normal and you’ll likely get a big clump of content in the near future.

Here’s what we’ve got:

  • Episode 111: Nationals Talk

Kyle, Matt and Justen will go over their thoughts on the most recent Nationals event for the U.S. and briefly talk about other countries Nationals and how we see the upcoming World Championship event.

  • Episode 112: Judgment of the Light

Judgment of the Light is just around the corner and Kyle and Joe, a strange hosting duo, talk about the set and its impact on the game and some of their favorite cards from the pack.

  • Episode 113: September 2013 Ban List Speculations

Kyle, Matt and Justen return as the trio once again to talk about the next ban list, speculate what they think it will likely be as well as what they’d like to see.

  • Fix-it Friday Video: Rank 8 Dragon Spam

Kyle hosts another Fix-It Friday video this time focusing on Dragons and the devastating power of Rank 8 XYZ.

The Banned List Arrives

Thank you Japan!

A Spore was planted here

Since the beginning of February, we duelists have been bombarded by fake list after fake list. Each, somehow, increasing in credibility but ultimately being outed as a Photoshop mockery – Japan gets first dibbs on the list through their monthly V-Jump  magazine – or a blatant impossibility.

Many of us saw the “fake” (but actually legit) banned list that was posted on Shriek. Even though Shriek is one of the most reliable sources we have for early info, not even they could escape the chaos. The discussion that followed in the comments was pretty wild.

Generation Force Special Edition

 Absolute Zero for Everyone!

Konami is releasing the Generation Force Special Edition on September 20th and the two promo cards are Elemental Hero Absolute Zero and Spore. I’m sure this move will be very well received since Absolute Zero is a very sought after card. Both will be super rare, so everyone will get their holo’d out Spore.

I’m anticipating Absolute Zero being a very hard card to pull, despite the chances supposedly being 50/50. So, I would expect to see a lot of foil Spores floating about. Either way, both cards are great and I am looking forward to HEROs making a rise.

“Next-Gen Dueling goes full speed ahead, with Generation Force Special Edition!

Here’s your second chance to get Generation Force’s heavy-hitting Xyz Monsters like Tiras, Keeper of Genesis, Adreus, Keeper of Armageddon, and Steelswarm Roach. Each Special Edition box comes with three booster packs of Generation Force PLUS one of two Super Rare variant cards: Elemental HERO Absolute Zero or Spore!

Elemental HERO Absolute Zero is one of the most popular HERO cards ever. You can Fusion Summon it using any HERO monster, and it starts off with a big 2500 Attack Points. But its best power is that whenever it leaves the field, it instantly destroys all of your opponent’s monsters! Absolute Zero works great with the new Vision HERO and Masked HERO monsters inGeneration Force. Use Mask Change to swap Absolute Zero for Masked HERO Vapor. This will destroy all your opponent’s monsters with Absolute Zero’s effect, and then Summon a new monster that can’t be destroyed!

Spore is one of the hottest cards around this season. Now you can get this incredible Tuner monster as a shiny, foil, Super Rare card! Most Tuners get used for just one Synchro Summon, but after you use Spore, you can bring it back at an even higher Level foranother Synchro Summon.  Use Spore to make 2 mid-Level Synchro Summons back-to-back, or combine it with the first monster you Synchro Summon to bring out your most powerful monster! Since Spore can change its Level, you can use it to Summon all different Ranks of Xyz Monsters as well!

Special Edition boxes give you the latest and greatest booster packs, plus foil variants of popular and hard-to-find cards. You can get the best of all worlds, and go easy on your wallet!”
