Critics rave: "I can see why this took so long!" "Big job!" A deep dive into the history of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Game World Championships, a love letter to the events and their participants, and a reminder about the importance of internet preservation. ygovghistory.com

@MBTYuGiOh It's gotta be New-Gi-Oh!.

@MBTYuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2006 on the GBA has a bug where Angel of Creation - Venus can fail to find Mystical Shine Ball. At Worlds that year, Kenji Watanabe built a consistent Reversal Quiz FTK around this interaction. Event-goers watched him win the final match in two turns.

THREAD THREAD THREAD!! Today I want to talk about YGO’s worst format of all time - just not in the TCG or OCG. What are your LEAST-favorite formats from YGO games, offshoots, or fan formats? I’ll start with this - basically just Dragon Ruler mirrors.

@FarfaYGO A few years ago they took down the entire EU coverage blog, taking over a decade of history along with it. I think there are a lot of interesting things throughout Yu-Gi-Oh!'s tenure that are worth highlighting but can't be fully appreciated because they're not accessible.

@FarfaYGO This is not a uniquely Yu-Gi-Oh! thing, all major card games seem to falter here, but it sucks that Konami doesn't seem to respect the game's history. It's so hard to find info about early tournaments/decks, duelist profiles, things that make the game more than just the cards.

I need your yugioh rants. Small things, nothing obvious and a basic cold take like "urgh card price, hand trap bad, meta grr" - The mini lag between menus in MD. - My opponent asking "what does that do?" Just read! I don't want to forget card effect 3 or misexplain!

@MBTYuGiOh They should've given us the full GBA library so we could get World Championship 2006. Then everyone could experience the joy of the near-100% consistent Question FTK thanks to a glitch that lets Agent of Creation - Venus fail to find. Or they'd fix that stuff, that'd be cool too.

been really fun watching people play early days collection on twitch today just for them to stream about an hour and a half before realizing that 95% of these game fucking suck ass

It's unfortunate that World Championship 2006 isn't in this collection because I want to see if they would fix the glitches and bugs and if not I want to see online play devolve into first turn kill mirrors based on the Worlds-winning decklist. youtube.com/watch?v=RB_Ik6…

With the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection coming out soon, there's never been a better time to get caught up on the competitive history of several games in the collection, learn the meta, and read up on the importance of these games to Yu-Gi-Oh!'s history! ygovghistory.com

This week's Date☆Night archive is up! With mana orb in hand, it's time for CIRCUS to confront Vilio and stop him from sacrificing himself! Surely the power of love can save the Archdragon and his Dragon Bride from a tragic end! Thanks for watching! youtube.com/watch?v=2Vriwp…

And with that, Date☆Night will be taking a hiatus! May your holiday season be merry!

Thanks for joining us on stream last night! Radiant Tale came to an abrupt but satisfying conclusion, and while it's not without flaws it was still a pretty entertaining experience overall! Plus we reached a >50% ratio of Balto deaths on routes so that had to count for something!

It's time for another session of Date☆Night & Dragons! Join @DeviousVacuum and I tonight at 9:45PM EST on twitch.tv/ChorpSaway as we conclude our playthrough of Radiant Tale! The true end is in sight!

This week's Date☆Night archive is up! Tifalia and Colivus must face six trials to retrieve the Ragules Crystal! Will they be able to best these challenges with enough time to reach Vilio, and will the crystal even be enough to save him? youtube.com/watch?v=-uLQIX…

Thanks for joining us on the stream! Tifalia and Colivus were able to conquer the trials of the Great Spirits and retrieve the Dragon Crystal in record time! However, will they be able to save Vilio with the crystal in hand, or will they be too late to stop his sacrifice?

Daylight has been saved, so now it's time for Date☆Night! Join @DeviousVacuum and I tonight at 9:45PM EST on twitch.tv/ChorpSaway as we continue our playthrough of Radiant Tale and approach the True Ending!

@TeamAPS I did this once about the Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Game World Championships (though it ended up being a regular essay), it happens to all of us. Sometimes you just look too deep and suddenly an unbelievable amount of time has passed and there's a giant document on your computer screen.

I was just doing a bit of research and accidentally ended up writing an entire video essay on virtual reality and Yu-Gi-Oh Oops

Apologies, Date☆Night will be taking this Tuesday off! Enjoy your evening, rock the vote if you haven't already, and we'll see you next week for what might be the finale of Radiant Tale!

This week's Date☆Night archive is up! Things get complicated as Vilio makes a drastic decision in order to save Tifalia's life! How will she handle her new status as a Dragon's Bride? Where's Vilio now? And can CIRCUS save him from his sacrificial rite? youtube.com/watch?v=aGsfId…

Thanks for joining us on the stream! After the terrible affliction Tifalia experienced last week, we have a powerful confrontation between her and Vilio, a surprise transformation, and another history lesson that could lead to a happy ending!
