Game Review: Zatch Bell! Collectible card game

ok, right off the bat I am saying I did not play the game yet. but it was not from lack of trying. Me adn a buddy (some of you may know as Shining_demon) opened the box from the big box of gaming junk. We spent about 15 minutes trying to decipher anything from the cards themselves before going "Screw it, we have the internet". Now, when it comes to obscure games and hobbies, the internet is supposed to have all the answers.... not in the case of ZATCH BELL!!!!1! The most informative thing we found was an awefully written wall of text on a Yahoo!answers. I even tried forums dedicated to this series, and their the closest we got was "if you cant figure it out, you can make up your own rules". Dammit internet, you have failed me. It was only after using the way back machine to figure it out that I was able to build 2 decks, and by that time we had lost all desire to do it. actual review coming soon, along with AUSTIN POWERS!!! and maybe Inuyasha.

For those of you who wanted to see my box breaks, I posted one on sportscardforum.com HERE

Delays :(

My package got delayed until monday. :(

Huge break coming tommorow, and some Gaming stuff for my 2 followers :)

Allrighty kids (yes, everyone I talk to is a kid. even though Im sure im younger than both of you)

Well, tomorrow Im getting a huge package from DAcardworld.com, 2 boxes of champs hockey, 6 packs of Pokemon HG/SS (ah, nostalgia. and its actually a decent game too!), their big box of gaming junk ( more on this a little below), and 4 packs of mechwarrior minis. im hoping for some good rookies, and to not get shafted on my GU and parallels like in my last open. this one will be on youtube, so check it out. I'll update with a link tomorrow night.

Onto the games: The Big Box of Gaming Junk comes with:
Score Inuyasha Keshin Booster 12-Pack Box - 1
Score Inuyasha Shimei Tin - 4
Score Inuyasha Feudal 2-Player Starter Deck - 2
Austin Powers Starter Deck - 2
Bandai Zatchbell Series 1 Booster Box - 1
Wizkids Pirate Davy Jones Curse SE 3 Pack Value Box - 2
Wizkids Pirates Mysterious Island Booster 18 Pack Box - 1
Wizkids NASCAR Race Day Value Box: 1 of either Dale Earnhardt, Dale Earnhardt Jr or Joe Nemechek

I have an admission to make to the both of you: I am an addict. I love games, of all shapes sizes and types. if I see a new card game on the self, I tend to look it up that night when I get home. The first time I impulsively got one, it became a lifelong hobby for me called Magic: The Gathering. the most recent was a blast from the past in the form of 2 Pokemon HeartGold and Soulsilver theme decks I split with a friend. I love both those games. So when browsing the site for some interesting stuff (read: more pokemon to change up the theme decks) I found the box o' gaming junk. Now, I know next to nothing about Inuyasha or Zatch Bell, but i've already flipped one of the starters for a profit, so I guess I can try out the other one before deciding if I will sell the shit ton of packs I got.

Austin powers: Funny movie, I can see a trading card set cause lord knows everything else has one, but a game!!?? I simply must try this.

Pirates: a couple of friends of mine are huge pirate fans, and always mention trying the game but never do. now they have no choice.

I have no idea what that nascar thing is. maybe someone on sportscardforum will help me out.

now, since I spent a ton of money, I got a free gift and free shipping. and thats where the mechs came from. I like mechs, I paint minis, Im making myself a new display shelf. :)

Thats all for today, I actually put some thoughts out. Join me tomorrow while I rant about champs, and randomly next week I guess I could review those games. I swear, more activity is coming, I put the blog on my toolbar and everything!
