This week we learn for the dozenth time that sacrificing your monsters in the card game where you have to sacrifice them as a mechanic is bad, actually! But I guess only if you do it disrespectfully? Who could say! Time to substantially hinder my gameplan for no clear reason! Watching: Episodes 15-16 (S01 E15-16) of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Send in your music story!Plans changed fast after a storm rolled through, our co-host got called into work, and the “Pokemon live play” turned into something more revealing. We open the mics and go all-in on the real stuff: how this show started, what we've learned from wild guests and early missteps, and how it feels to build a community when the industry worships follower counts over actual listeners.We swap nostalgia—VHS Pokemon marathons, Yu-Gi-Oh binges, and the new Pokemon LEGO sets that look incredible and cost a small fortune—and sketch our dream: a true “Pokemon Classic” anthology on Switch that respects fans and preserves the games' history. From there, we get practical about production: why some early episodes came down, how latency and live tech checks influence the flow, and the difference between a tight interview and a warm hang. Expect shoutouts to underrated conversations (Men Without Hats, Ohio Weather Band, Just Happy To Be Here) and a few candid notes on episodes we'd love to redo with the skills we have now.The heart of the episode lands on music, mental health, and purpose. We share the songs that carried us through rough seasons, morning rituals that keep us grounded, and “parallel play” routines that make ordinary days feel gentle again. We also face the creative math: follower growth drives bookings, and that reality can sting when posts get silence. Still, a single message from a listener on a health journey or a guest who felt truly seen is enough to keep going. If you've ever wondered what keeps an indie podcast alive, it's this mix of honesty, small joys, and a stubborn belief in connection over clout.If you're new, welcome—hit follow, share this with a friend who loves Pokemon, music stories, and real talk, and leave a quick review.

We sit down with Josh of Gong Kong Studios to trace a path that runs from childhood anime obsessions to tattooing, and eventually into soft vinyl toy making. We talk Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, obscure robot cartoons, and how discovering sofubi at a hardcore show flipped a creative switch. Josh walks us through the real learning curve of toy production; failed airbrushes, resculpting after tough feedback, scaling figures down to what actually sells, and navigating factories with help from the right people. We also dig into convention strategy, booth design, glow-in-the-dark variants, and why collaboration matters more than doing it alone. This episode is about saying yes to a new medium, learning in public, and building toys one decision at a time.On Instagram: @gonkongstudiosThis Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!

Paul and Alec are joined by Alex for a special Christmas episode of the pod! And we all react to the huge news of the new full-art Overframe Yu-Gi-Oh cards!

I didn't PLAN to make this the Victor Show. Sometimes these things just... happen. Hey, if we're gonna do card game designs, we should do like. Netrunner, and Yu-Gi-Oh!. And Magic I suppose, I'll be honest, I don't really care about Magic. I did in high school, and it's not like I've "grown out of it" or anything, I've just lost interest. But maybe it has some cool mecha cards. That could potentially sway me. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media's Patreon!

Kam Punia is the Founder and CEO of Pixion Games, the London based studio behind Fableborne and the $POWER gaming ecosystem.  Why you should listen In this episode, Kam Punia, founder and CEO of Pixion Games, shares his background as a long-time game industry veteran and explains how that experience shaped the studio's approach to building competitive, mobile-first games. He reflects on lessons learned from working on large global franchises such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, including how to scale game universes, balance progression, and design systems that keep players engaged over long periods of time. Kam also discusses the broader state of the gaming market and why mobile remains the dominant platform for global player hours. The conversation focuses on Pixion Games' flagship title, Fableborne, a mobile action RPG that blends fast-paced combat with strategic base building and asynchronous PvP gameplay. Kam explains the core mechanics of the game, including hero collection, kingdom defence, and raid-based progression, as well as the fantasy setting of the Shatterlands. He outlines how Fableborne is designed to be accessible for casual players while offering deeper strategic layers for more competitive audiences. Kam discusses how Web3 elements are integrated into Fableborne in a way that supports gameplay rather than replacing it. He explains Pixion's philosophy of optional blockchain participation, where players can enjoy the full game experience without needing to interact with wallets or tokens. The episode explores how Web3 can enable ownership, progression systems, and long-term incentives, while keeping onboarding friction low for traditional gamers. The discussion covers Pixion's partnerships and ecosystem support, including collaborations with infrastructure providers and investors that help power live operations, scaling, and community engagement. Kam shares insights into how Pixion thinks about player trust, controlled economies, and sustainable reward systems as part of building a long-lasting game. Finally, Kam looks ahead to the future of gaming, outlining why competitive, mobile-first experiences with strong live-ops foundations are likely to lead the next wave of innovation. He explains how community-driven content, evolving game worlds, and optional digital ownership can coexist with proven free-to-play models, and why experienced game designers will play a critical role in shaping the next generation of hybrid games.

Crack open your Millennium Puzzle and prepare to roll some incredibly awkward polygonal dice, because this week on Play Comics we're delving into one of the most bewildering spin-offs to ever stumble out of the Yu-Gi-Oh universe! We're talking about Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeondice Monsters for the Game Boy Advance—a game so determined to turn Kazuki Takahashi's trading card phenomenon into a dungeon crawler that it somehow forgot to ask if it should. Joining us for this delightfully confusing journey through Dungeondice Monsters is none other than Marcus Stewart from Game Informer, who's armed with the kind of gaming knowledge that only comes from actually playing this thing. Whether he's here to defend it, destroy it, or just figure out what the heck is happening on a 240p screen, we're thrilled to have his voice in the mix as we attempt to understand why anyone thought “card game meets roguelike dice mechanics” was the logical next step for the King of Games. So lock your monsters in the vault, prepare your dice for rolling, and get ready for an episode that's far less about card strategy and far more about watching two people gradually lose their minds over a game that inhabits some kind of strange liminal space between “ambitious experiment” and “fever dream at a game arcade.” The dice have been cast. The dungeon awaits. Our sanity? Well, that's negotiable. Learn such things as: Does the dice-rolling mechanic create engaging strategic depth or just mask random chaos behind a veneer of math? Does the actual Dungeondice Monsters storyline tie-in justify the existence of this video game adaptation at all? Does the very small mention of what this game actually is give young gamers their first instance of bait and switch marketing? And so much more!

GreenRanger recaps the top KC Cup decks, Forbidden/Limited List update, Marik Ishtar and Duel Quest!  #YGODuelLinks #YGOMasterDuel #duellinks #yugioh #podcast

In this episode, we welcome Melanie Kohnen, an Associate Professor of Rhetoric and Media Studies for Lewis & Clark College, and Billy Austin Tringali, an Instruction Librarian at the Indiana University Indianapolis and the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Anime and Manga Studies (JAMS), to discuss the culture and function of pop-culture conventions (“cons”). Melanie shares her research on the encroaching influence of media companies on spaces such as San Diego Comic-Con, especially as they literally extend their promotions to outside of the convention center. Meanwhile, Billy speaks about his work running the annual JAMS@AX Symposium at Anime Expo and his own research regarding animanga content. This conversation examines the intersection of academia and non-academic spaces, like fan events, and how media businesses build relationships with their audiences. Melanie and Billy explore how both academics and con-goers can experience conventions as fans and build a sense of community at these pop-culture events.

Legendary 5Ds decks has been DELAYED?! Oh, and we talk about the Game Awards nominees, GameStop's weird "Trade Anything" day and the Word of the Year!

The kind of moment that keeps a dream alive doesn't always arrive with a banner; sometimes it's a quiet ping at the register and a lump in your throat. We finally crossed the sales number we set five years ago—through shutdowns, grief, a newborn, and more near-misses than we care to count—and it hit us with a wave of validation bigger than the math. The goal wasn't about getting rich; it was about proving this American-made lifestyle brand could stand on its own legs and keep serving a community that's carried us from day one.Along the way, we open up about mental health and the heartbreaking story of Marshawn Nealon, reflecting on how fatherhood can rewire purpose and help us stay one more day. Then, at a Bangor Mall pop-up, we watched something rare: two women who had lost their jobs after blowing the whistle on abuse in a mental health facility nearly sold out their crafts. On day two, a local shop owner stopped to browse their partner's Yu-Gi-Oh cards, paid sixteen hundred dollars, and then offered scrubs, toys, and a chance to bring the rest of the collection for a fair deal. Tears, hugs, stunned silence. Call it timing, call it grace—it felt like a Christmas miracle.If you're chasing a target that keeps slipping away, this story is for you. We talk candidly about setting realistic goals, the squeeze of cash flow during growth, and why showing up in real communities creates surface area for luck and kindness. We also share the laughs—yes, we said “Yogi cards” before getting corrected—and the gratitude that fuels us into the next season.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a lift, and leave a review.

Yu-Gi-Oh!, along with Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon, is one of the original big 3 trading card games.  Starting its life as a Manga, then a tv series, the story about the card game eventually became a card game.  Since then Yugioh has morphed through many different iterations and is still going strong today, even if its present self doesn't have much to do with its humble beginnings. Nestled right in between the birth of the card game and the current format is Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus.  It's an interesting middle child of the franchise for many reasons - it builds off previous games in the franchise while still being primarily a single player game.  Its format at full power makes the decks of yesteryear look like a joke, but would get trounced by anything played today.  It boasts a truly absurd card pool of ~4300 cards, and they're shockingly mostly coded correctly.So, is it worth going back to a different time and place to play some single player Yu-Gi-Oh?  Or is this weird slice of history more of a curio to look back on and never experience?On this episode, we discuss:IdentityWhat exactly is the identity of Yu-Gi-Oh! compared to other trading card games like Magic or Hearthstone?  What does it excel at, and where is it at its weakest?  How does the game actually play out, with its extra deck and high consistency tutors?DeckbuildingHow viable is it for the player to build their own deck from scratch?  How well does the UI facilitate both experimenting with ideas, and finding cards that synergise together?  Do enemy decks give you inspiration and options, or are they generic and copy pasted?Progression SystemsHow do you unlock the cards required to build your decks?  Are unlocks intelligently seeded throughout your playthrough to give you a gradual increase in power?  Is it satisfying to gradually build a deck up from its basic roots, or is it too difficult to acquire key cards?We answer these questions and many more on the 135th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!--Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherYugioh 2001 OST: Miki Murai, Kazuma Jinnouchi, Yasuhita Iso--Is there a better Yugioh video game out there that we somehow missed on?  What other single player card games, retro or modern, are worth our time?  Are you a fan of card games on motorcycles?  Come let us know what you think on our Community Discord Server!You can support the show monetarily on our Buy me a Coffee Page!

Read transcriptDigivolve your PlayStation controllers and prepare to shuffle your way through the most wonderfully confused identity crisis in gaming history, because this week on Play Comics we're tapping into the pixelated card-battling chaos that is Digimon Digital Card Battle for the PS1! Released in 2001 when every entertainment franchise on Earth was racing to cash in on the trading card game gold rush sparked by Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, Bandai decided their digital monsters deserved a piece of that sweet, sweet card-slinging action. The twist? They didn't just adapt the existing Digimon trading card game – oh no, that would be far too simple. Instead, they created an entirely NEW card game exclusively for this PS1 title, because apparently someone at BEC thought “You know what kids collecting physical cards really need? A completely different set of rules that only exists in digital form!” What emerged was a gloriously polygonal fever dream where Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon became your partners in a card-battling odyssey through Battle Arenas, all while you sacrifice Digimon from your hand like some kind of digital monster cult leader gathering “DP” (Digivolve Points, not whatever your brain just went to) to evolve your creatures into increasingly ridiculous forms. It's rock-paper-scissors meets card game mechanics meets “please stop making me grind the same battles 300 times to unlock the secret final boss.” Joining us for this digivolved discussion is the phenomenally talented Sahoni from Bramble Wolf Games! When they're not busy crafting games that actually mean something or channeling their Queer and Indigenous (ᏣᎳᎩᏱ ᏕᏣᏓᏂᎸᎩ) storytelling magic into unforgettable tabletop experiences, Sahoni brings their narrative expertise to help us understand how this PS1 oddity somehow convinced an entire generation that carrying around 30 digital cards was infinitely more practical than the hundreds of physical ones weighing down their backpacks. So crack open that PS1 jewel case, practice your best “I'm going to pretend I understand these Support Card effects” face, and prepare for an episode more entertaining than watching the same Digimon battle animation for the 47th time. We'll explore whether this card-game-that-never-was actually honored the spirit of the Digimon franchise, or if it just left us wondering why we couldn't trade our digital cards with friends like we could in literally every other TCG game of the era! Learn such things as: If watching the same PS1-era polygonal battle animations 300+ times builds character or just destroys your will to live? Why the game forces you to read tiny PS1-resolution text on cards and whether that counts as an accessibility nightmare or just “authentic retro experience” Why creating a brand-new trading card game that only exists in one video game is either pure genius or complete madness (spoiler: probably both) And so much more!

We have to talk about the huge announcement that Yu-Gi-Oh will finally be getting extended art cards, called Overframes! Paul and Alec also recap their experiences at New York Comic Con last weekend, and discuss an interesting survey around gaming demographics. Magic the Gathering also put out a weird consumer survey...

We and our guest Official Series' Letterer Sabrina Heep discuss Shonen Jump manga The Comiq from the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!   MAL Description: Starring "an unlikely love for two," Pendulum of Love is the latest series to be serialized in the popular magazine Shoujo Jump. This serialization is also the debut of Ryota Sakamaki. Through his editor, the shy rookie manga artist receives some help in the form of complex background artwork from a mysterious person. Though the pair frequently work with one another, Ryota has never once met his assistant, leading to his curiosity about the person's identity.   Upon further investigation, Ryota learns that his background illustrator is Katsuo Baba, a prisoner convicted of the infamous "Halloween Murder"—a crime committed within the local park three years ago that his own work seems to reference. While hesitant to work with a criminal at first, Ryota quickly picks up on Katsuo's desperation, and after meeting him face-to-face, Ryota becomes determined to set him free with the power of their manga!   Show Notes: • You can reach us at Twitter @shonenflopcast, Tumblr shonen-flop, or email shonenflop@gmail.com   • You can find our guest's latest work officially lettering Otr of the Flame   • Become a member of our community by joining our Discord.
