Jumping in Headfirst

Last month I'll be putting up before I give it a break. Fortunately I'm wrapping this up prior to SDCC, since it's doubtful I'll be able tot think of much else once that comes out. October 4th - Yu-Gi-Oh Legendary Collection 2 Starting with card game stuff. As with the last two months, skip if you're not a fan. The last Legendary Collection was nostalgia porn. Not much more. The god cards weren't playable and the booster packs came from the beginning of the game back when cards had flavor text instead of effects. THIS Collection is from the GX era. Lightsworns, Gladiator Beasts, and a host of other archetypes can be found there. In addition to no shortage of great tech cards which have become much more difficult to find over time. With 13 rares and five nine-card booster packs all guaranteed, I look forward to buying three of these at the least. Crossing fingers for certain cards. Fall Anime Unfortunately, this summer has been almost completely dry of...

Jeez. This month is busy. Fortunately I’ll have been in school long enough to have a decent pattern set in, ‘cause otherwise I know I wouldn’t get ANY work done. September (hopefully 1st) – Young Justice S1 This series got about nine episodes out before it hit a wall and stopped airing new episodes. My friends have been asking about it since then, but all I could tell them was I had no clue when there would be any new episodes. Everyone’s best guess now is that Young Justice will appear back on Cartoon Network’s Friday schedule sometime in September, though. (Mind you, this isn't confirmed by anyone--we're all just guessing.) Better yet, with all the episodes completed and Season 2 already greenlit, in production and confirmed to appear on the new DC Nation block in March 2012, there shouldn’t be too many more breaks after the series comes back on the air. That’s good to hear too, because YJ’s long-form storytelling REALLY needs to start paying off in some manner, since ...

Blah. I'm a little late with this, and I apologize. Yesterday was a little more busy than I would've liked, so I'll probably be back here with September's today as well. Once SDCC gets started I'll most likely end up talking about all the stuff coming out of that. (Which I admit will be quite a bit of stuff on this list.) Anyhow, let's get started. August 10th - SCANDAL - Baby Action I became a pretty big fan of this group when I heard the ending they did for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Shunkan Sentimental. They have a pretty hardcore sound to do so many concerts dressed in high school girl outfits, but I can't hate on someone's swag when they make good music. (See: Childish Gambino.) August 30th: Yu-Gi-Oh 2011 Collector's Tins Another Yu-Gi-Oh thing. Feel free to skip if you're not a fan. Normally I'm not that big on tins. I only bought one copy of the 2011 tin earlier this year just to get the http://www.blogger.com/img/bla...

So it's the middle of July, and we're smack in the middle of summer. It's hot as crap outside, and being a gamer, I'm allergic to the sun. This is good for my faithful readers (I assume I have them...my visitor counter keeps ticking up, and it's not just me), because it means I get to bring you the awesome. Much like the calendar I did a couple years ago, I'm going to let everyone have a look at some of the awesome ish coming down the pipe over the next couple of months. I've compiled an immense list of shit covering the entire spectra of interests I have, from Video Games and Anime to television series and card games. (Yes, card games. Suck it up.) Because the list IS so massive, I'll be splitting things up by the month, with a new post every day this weekend so I can get them all done before SDCC comes and punishes me with a billion things to talk about. All that said, let's get started with July, okay? Sage's Calendar of Awesome July 7t...
