PokéMonday Night Combat - BAD DECISIONS

You’ll get that dummy thicc pikachu someday, Jan.

Heh, thiccachu.

Started playing ptcgo over a month ago and been enjoying it ever since. I think you will too.

Just to clarify:

The lead actor of Warrior is Andrew Koji who plays someone (Storm Shadow?) in the upcoming GI Joe Snake-Eyes movie. His character is Ah Sahm and he is basically an expy of a bunch of Bruce Lee roles and is a DAMNED good actor with some amazing swagger.

Joe Taslim (The Raid 1 (He was the cop who got a lot of screen time and got murdered by Mad Dog in the apartment fight), also one of the Fast and the Furious movies (he kicks some dude into a glass wall and gets got by Tyrese)) plays Li Yong who is the dragon for the rival gang and is a terrifying mother fucker. He is Sub-Zero in the upcoming Mortal Kombat. You may also remember him as the protagonist of The Night Comes For Us (where he fought Iko Uwais from The Raid 1 and 2 and who is apparently playing Hard Master in that GI Joe movie).

And for bonus fun: Jason Tobin plays Young Jun. He also was the goofy japanese friend in Tokyo Drift (not to be confused with Little Bow Wow or the sister-girlfriend) and is in Fast 9 for probably all of 2 minutes. He is a VERY different character in Warrior but is still a loveable goober.

And once things stop being quite so porny the women and supporting cast (woo, Chao!!!) are also spectacular. Olivia Cheng and Dianne Doan pretty much take over any scene they are in and are probably the most fascinating characters on the show.

Warrior is a depressingly timely (and even more depressingly always timely...) show about basically being Asian (specifically Chinese but it is kind of universal) in San Francisco near the end of the gold rush/turn of the century (?) and does a great job of escalating from casual racism and apathy to full on violence and attacks in the street as the local government blames them for just about everything as a way to garner political favor and The Irish use that as an excuse to take out a lot of aggression over lost wages and similar firebrands.

Season 2 is a lot weaker than 1 but there is one episode that manages to swing from horrifying a literal lynching of one of the only good men... to terrifying The Irish attack chinatown and start brutalizing people and destroying property to just fucking GOOD the tongs put aside their differences for the day with a nod and kick insane amounts of ass to defend chinatown in a way that I personally felt was probably too much mood whiplash but also will almost definitely rewatch sooner than later.

I have seen Warrior here and there and had zero clue what it was about. Totally sitting down tonight and watching through a few episodes now.

Jan the way you pronounced "Garbodor" as Garb-Odor BLEW MY MIND. That's a way better pronunciation!

How does this game maintain itself with no way to spend money on it?

Thanks for taking that hit Jan.

What a beautiful nightmare

This could not have come at a better time. I just recently got back into PTCG and also have been rather depressed so I am happy to have some content to watch. Thanks Jan

A video game based on a card game based on a video game is a real snake eating its own tail.

So happy this is back!

Is this a cry for help

@hansolol said:

It's probably funded by the physical card game. Every physical pack comes with a code for the digital game, so there's at least that synergy.

@hansolol: It's a value add for the real card game. Not it's own source of money.

The H in H-Mart stands for Heaven.

@janman

I'm seeing Mortal Kombat on Friday and Mugen Train on Saturday

I've never really understood pack opening streams. Am I the only one who would rather just see gameplay?

Cool hearing about stuff like Warrior. With that hair style I’m sure you’d be a cool cameo or such in a marvel movie.

wait, this is just an hour and a half of opening packs...?

I don't want to shit on content, like, hanging out and chilling is fine, but...

I did wanna see some Pokemon TCG playing...

cool s

This made me want to start buying Euro 2020 sticker packs. Thanks Jan

Kim's Convenience is one of the best TV shows I've ever seen. Never thought I'd hear it mentioned on this website but I love it. Truly sad the show is ending.

yesssss Pokemon is back bb!
