[QUOTE="Gnarlo, post: 1767881, member: 2995"] I just don't get it. I like a 30-minute toy advertisement as much as the next person, Transformers, GI Joe, Pokemon, Thundercats, etc.; fun, enjoyable cartoons. But this am I'm getting dressed and Yu-Gi-Oh is on the TV... From what I can tell from the admittedly only one episode I've seen of the show, at least half the show is the two characters throwing cards down on a "duelling arena" and spouting rules at each other. About as exciting as actually being a spectator at a Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic game. Can anyone explain to me what the appeal of the show is to an actual player of the game, since I can't really see anyone else watching it. It'd be like if Samurai Jack was a D&D cartoon, and evertime he went into combat he and his opponent started spouting lines like "Haha! I rolled a 20, [I]and[/I] made my critical threat roll! Now, rolling for damage and multiplying by 3 for my Elven Ninja Uber-Katana, I strike you for 237 points!" "Not so fast, Samurai Jack! You forgot my Gnomish Clockwork Armor of Leetness! Taking off the points for Damage Resistance, and activating my Feat of Boofoo Warrior, you only strike me for 12 points! Haha!" Can anyone explain this? It seems to be popular, it's on often enough... [/QUOTE]
