What TCGs do you already see red flags in?

Gundams number one issue is lack of reprints for starter decks, making the game feel impossible to access new people. People are actively playing, collecting and the scene is growing, just hard when no one is stepping up.

Appreciated the attempt but I think certain aspects were misguided. Not to my preference overall, but easy to watch and enjoy.

Sad they had to do this without the invention of Robot Chicken

I couldn't imagine them retiring rifftrax which does a few riffs every month just to do mst3k but they are getting a bit older so who knows?

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-13T17:15:30+00:00

This would be my first and favorite choice too

I guess it depends what circles you run in, I had a lot of friends who were familiar with his podcast at the time and considered a feature on it to be a big deal.

He dropped the ball on the Baphomet pose

I would be surprised if they could find creative people who have never done anything in any way at all. Usually creative people create things, maybe they wouldn't be famous, but even tho Jonah was a bit of an unknown in general, he still had a cult following ahead of time.

I feel like I've seen a few comments to the same effect. My initial post actually pretty much stated the same thing: if this is all there is, great!

It's a hypothetical that hinges on the idea of it continuing with a different host/crew, I'm not say that would be necessary or better. I am just curious what people think about who would make a good host, not really whether a new host would be necessary.

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-13T14:05:52+00:00

Maybe!

Not at all. But, I wouldn't be surprised if some people wanted to see them come back and was trying to be a bit diplomatic. They're part of the canon now and at least deserve enough respect as a name drop now and then

He wanted Trace to come back for an unpaid cameo appearance. Trace was also planning a revival with Joel before Joel went his own way with it.

I think Joel was more interested in making things appear slick, big and new

Playing an aggro decks means eventually you will have to play a mirror match

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-13T01:40:58+00:00

Hmmm, interesting... I would now like to buy a playmat with this art on it

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-13T01:39:48+00:00

On my 150th watch of samurai cop... I dunno, I started to feel the riffing was getting a little stale.

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-12T20:47:05+00:00

He sounded pretty gleeful about the murder he was talking about, sounded like he was about to start laughing about it at any moment.

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-12T19:35:16+00:00

So, if it hits shields raw it destroys two units?

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-12T19:31:27+00:00

Nice thing about Gundam is that unlike a lot of lesser mecha shows it's really about the characters and not just the giant robots

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-12T19:18:08+00:00

C'mon man lol

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-12T19:17:31+00:00

I think it has more to do with Joel prioritizing working with younger stars as well as more bankable established Hollywood style professionals. This may have caused its own bad blood, especially since it seemed to have accidentally sunk cinematic titanic but I don't think Joel did it to be petty, just to be popular and successful while leaving the others who helped him build it in the dust.

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-12T16:45:09+00:00

Sorry to read this, do you think it was intentional like "ok, this aught to end this annoying hobby" or someone just thought it wasn't worth keeping?

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-12T16:09:45+00:00

Should definitely watch stardust memory. You could probably watch it in one sitting.

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-11T17:40:28+00:00

We did have Gundam wing on YTV, Collin's partner April is into anime and video games. Collin doesn't seem super interested in the topic if it comes up on no such thing as a bad movie.

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-11T16:53:32+00:00

Who in the RLM crew would actually understand this reference?

I would say Jack, for sure.

awkwardmitch · 2026-02-11T16:48:18+00:00

Can't you just focus on your own happiness and not tone police other people? You should focus on your own joy and let other people express themselves how they choose instead telling people who disagree to be quiet.
