    Spotting a Fake

    A lot of the Chinese fakes pass many of these tests, as they were made using the same special cardstock as official cards. I usually end up having to rely on font size differences (very helpful to have a known legit copy to compare against) to suss these things out. Fakes usually have text that...

    The Big Picture: Secret Crisis

    Hey as of today he's still listed as such on the "About Us" page so why not.

    Marathon This TV Show

    Does it have to be a fictional series? Discovery Science just ran every Mythbusters in order in the space between Christmas and New Year's, which was awesome for someone who had most of that span off from work and needed background noise that wasn't horrid.

    A Shadowy New Villain Menaces Agent Carter

    Isn't it too early for HYDRA to be in the SSR? I thought that wasn't established until SHIELD proper was founded and the likes of Zola were brought in under Operation Paperclip (or equivalent).

    Reviving Ugin - Rebirth of the Spirit Dragon

    How exactly do you think that effect will wreck your lands? Other than Dryad Arbor and animated man-lands, lands are inherently colorless. Nykthos decks might not be fond of him, but other than that your non-Elf/Bird/Caryatid/etc manabase should be fine.

    Reviving Ugin - Rebirth of the Spirit Dragon

    Neither Volcanic Hammer nor Lightning Bolt (nor any of over a dozen similar spells) can kill Master of Waves/Silver Knight/Kor Firewalker/et al; Ghostfire ? and thus Ugin ? can. The color (or lack thereof) of the effect is much more important here than the relative speed of casting it. It...

    Reviving Ugin - Rebirth of the Spirit Dragon

    By that logic JTMS's +0 ability is closer to Dream Cache than it is Brainstorm, and nobody actually thinks that.

    Reviving Ugin - Rebirth of the Spirit Dragon

    His +2 ability is Ghostfire. No need to drag Volcanic Hammer into this.

    Bandai-Namco Will be The First Third-Party Dev to Support Amiibos

    So Omega Force's/Koei Tecmo's Hyrule Warriors doesn't count then? Granted the game doesn't do much with them other than the first time you use a Link figure.

    Unskippable: Bayonetta 2, Part 1 - Never Jaywalk in New York City

    Considering all of her clothing is essentially just her hair magicked into a different form I think she custom-fits them herself. And the shoes she was already wearing in that scene totally didn't have guns on them.

    Stop. Hammer Time

    Plus she's insanely tiny. It would look really weird to have a "Thor" smaller than the Black Widow. I respect the hell out of Portman, but there are limits to my suspension of disbelief.

    Pokemon X & Y Becomes "A More Fun Gaming Experience"

    This. After B/W and B2/W2, X/Y was such a backslide. I get that making new 3D models for nearly 800 beasties (more if you include Megas) took some work, but still.

    Terrifying Mega Beedrill And Majestic Mega Pidgeot Revealed For Pokemon OR/AS

    Just yesterday I told my wife that all OR/AS needed to do in order to ensure my purchase was to show me Mega Sableye. And dammit, now they have.

    8 Movie Sequels The World Would Be Better Without

    I feel the same way about Gremlins 2. The original was too much horror* and not enough satire. *Especially since I was 7 at the time. Curse you, lack of PG-13 in 1984!
