Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Everyone likes Pokemon! Except for soulless sons of bitches that don't.
If you want to head down the bottomless pit of madness that is competitive Pokemon, then herearesomelinks to get you started. If you're willing to sacrifice playing against people that aren't assholes in exchange for not sinking hours upon hours into breeding and training, then try out Shoddy Battle.
But that's not the only game we can talk about! There is also
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Unlike Pokemon, Yugioh is a much more mature and complex game, whic--
YVD Is a program that'll let you play online. If you don't know the rules, here's the rulebook.This is a good site for looking up cards and official rulings. Unless you're a little bitch, you play Advanced Format, which means that you play with the ban list enforced, which can be found here, as well as when you first open up YVD.
Feel free to also talk about any other hobby that's symptomatic of Asperger's Syndrome.
Yu-Gi-Oh is a terribly unbalanced card game. I've played a ton of card games at a competitive level, Magic, Pokemon, Duel Masters, and Yu-Gi-Oh, just to name the ones I've put most of my effort/cash into, and Yu-Gi-Oh was by far the least balanced.
Duel Masters is a great game, no lie. Easily my favorite card game. I made it all the way to Nationals one year, too. I wish Wizards of the Coast wouldn't have discontinued it.

It's the foil stamps. Makes the cards heavier on one end.

because the vast majority of cards are designed around going YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP THAT KILLS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AND MAKES ME WIN
One time, I had a friend over to play a bit of Red Alert on my LAN. During the game he said he needed to go to the bathroom, so we paused it. After about 10 minutes of wondering where the hell he went, I get up and go to check on him.
Once I was taking a poop at a restaurant and a kid crept underneath the door into my stall. I let out a big fart and then he threw up all over the floor in front of me and I just stared at him.

Explain how it is unbalanced.
Never have I seen a game where one type of deck can single-handedly control the competitive environment. From Yata-Lock to DAD to Gladiators to even earlier stuff like Jinzo-lock, there's always a deck which controls the metagame and is the "best deck". Sure, there are other decks which can be competitive, I had a lot of success with a Plant deck, but usually there is one deck to beat. In most other games there are a multitude of decks which have nearly equal power. Not saying that there haven't been unbalanced environments in games like Magic and Duel Masters (Affinity and Bombazar decks, respectively, for example), but on the whole they are naturally more balanced. Yu-Gi-Oh fixes a lot of it's problems with card banning, something other games have avoided in their standard play environments.

oh yeah, infinite combos
That's not really true.
And infinite combos are either
A. Impractically difficult to set up
B. Banned shortly after they're discovered.
Hmm wasn't there a new yugioh game out for the psp? Anybody played it? Worth a purchase?
YGO Tag Force 4, right? The first one of the series based on the current 5D's storyline. I'd like to know myself how it's like, seeing as I haven't played any of the TF games. A reminder BTW that the next World Championship game for the DS comes out in February.

Oh, so it's completely fine then, considering how other TCG's do the same thing?
I hear M:tG is a good game again now
An old friend came over the other day and borrowed a load of my stuff from like 10 years ago and is using it to win PTQs or whatever
I have no idea how you even played it. I remember a flipper. I think you just .. hit pogs with the flipper and if they landed upside down you got to keep them? Is that right?
Also: CROSSFIRE! You'll get caught up in the ... CROSSFIRE!

Since I haven't played in the last three years I can't talk about the metagame, so I'll have to take your word on that.
Also, I dunno about other card games, but Magic only doesn't have to maintain a banlist because every few months they ban everything. In Legacy play or whatever they call it where all sets are legal, they have a very extensive banlist.

ever since time spiral and 10th, magic has been getting constantly better and more awesome
also they tend to do a pretty good job at balance, although faeries did dominate for a little while

yu gi oh is really fun when you don't play with dumb faggots
sorry you all hate fun
it's actually pretty balanced. there is ALWAYS a way to disrupt a combo. there are hardly any instant wins, and what little there are, you have to build an entire deck around and even then it is pretty easy to disrupt

I bought a pack of Time Spiral after having been out of the game for almost a decade, got a foil Whatever Lotus, said "fuck yeah", and quit again.
But I get the itch all the time.

Fair enough, 90% of my MTG knowledge is from my friends that play it more than I do.

there are always people over the age of ____ who _____
usually because they don't like ____ for the same reasons you did when you were 13
(sometimes it turns out ____ is actually a good game when you get past all the surface shit, but i dunno if that's the case here)
