Dawn after Dark
I'm on break! Wh00000000000t!! No more exams! I got a B for the semester in Spanish! Ye-hah!!

*Ahem*

Well, I've been so busy with school that I've left a lot of stuff undone. So...first, ranting.

I have no anime that I'm currently following, with the exception of Yu-Gi-Oh and Shaman King. Inu-Yasha is in reruns, TF: Armada ended, I've seen all of Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Blue Gender and FLCL...gah!!

Comic rants, because one person asked for them:

Spectacular Spider-Man #2/3: Dok Ock kicks it into high gear by kidnapping a Palestinean ambassador who's a major link in the Middle east peace process. Ock's demands are simple: Spidey must reveal his identity to the world, or the hostage dies.

This is good stuff, here. The Ambassador is actually a character, which is odd for a comic hostage. Peter's in a horrible position, and I can't wait to see what he decides to do.

Spider-Girl: Well, now....this ish was entirely predictable, until it was revealed that Brad was one of the punks hasseling Nancy.

Nancy was recently "outed" as a mutant, and a group of bigots starts harassing her. Spider-Girl and the Buzz drop by to help, and May realizes that one of the punks is Brad, her long time friend/occassional boyfriend.

Wow. I mean, wow. I really did not see something like that being revealed to such a long time cast member.

Ultimate Six #5: Curse you, Bendis!! How do you expect me to wait a month for the next issue?! Osborn kidnapps Peter, then heads his goon squad to the White House lawn, only to be intercepted by the Ultimates! I can't wait for the showdown!! I want a show down!!

Wanted #1: Gah. This is what I get for giving Mark Millar a third chance. The man has so much potential, but his execution is always so flawed...

There's this guy, and it turns out he's an heir to his absent father's fortune. The catch is, his late father was a super villian, and a member of an organized super villian syndicate. To get the money, his son has to join the club and play the game for a year. If he tries to opt out, they'll kill him. Wonder what he's gonna' do?

The premise was great, and it's exactly the kind of thing I like, but Millar's trying to be so "Real world" that he's just being stupid. Every other word is the "F" word. Did we need the gay porno film scene? What the hell is Millar trying to do?!

Millar has one more chance, but not with this book. I won't be getting ish #2.

Let's see...I bought a back of "Dark Crisis" card. ^__^ They were a gift to myself after my last exam. Let's see...

GaGaGiGo: I love this car'ds name. ^_^ He's a Water-attribute reptile with 1850 attack. (Face it, mechanical Chaser, you're dead.) Not something Id' use, but pretty cool-looking.

Nin-Ken Dog: An 1800 Beast Warrior. Next!

Battle Footballer: A unique card; it's a machine with 100 atk and 2100 def. 2100. Hmmm...

Arsenal Summoner: Support for Guardian Monsters. Why dso they keep making monster clans like Guardians, Amazons, unions and Gravekeepers, then never releasing more cards for them? Sigh...

Ray of Hope: Recycle two Light monsters from your graveyard to your deck. ^____^

Precious Cards from Beyond: A useless Magic card.

Dark Scorpion Combination: My Rare from this back, it's actually a cool card. If you have all the dArk Scorpions on the field, (Donny Z, Cliff, Chick, Gorg & Meanae), they can all attack directly, thus all their effects go through at once. Wouldn't wanna 'be on the recieving end of that. I believe there's a card that gets all of the Scorpions out, as well. Too bad I only have "Cliff the Trap Remover". ^^;

Non-Spellcasting Area: The coolest card pic I've seen in a while! The background is the Dark Hole pic of a black hole. In the center are the Gemeni Elves,, casting a spell that's tossing the Goblin Attack Force around like rag dolls. That's just cool.

My personal fave card of the pack: Little Winguard: Used by Joey, called "Tiny Guardian" on the show. The Winguard has 1400 atk, and 1800 def. His ability? He can change his Position in the End phase. So, he can attack, the change to defense mode. Very nice. The only thing I would have done was add 100 points to his defense, so he could survive Archfiend Soldiers.

Expect more from me now that I'm a free man!

Thought of the moment: I'm bumping one Amazon Archer to make room for Little Winguard...
