    Oy, Thesis; looks like someone wants to paaaaaaaair with you. *Pokes NiGHTS' last comment* ;D

    O hells yeah, I just hit a new level of maturity with my comments. xD

    Anyways, my review for A Thief in the Night is done and done. Hope you like it. ^.^

    Oh, and on a semi-random note: don't you think that the statement "all your cards are crap" is really ironic coming from someone who plays Ushi Oni? xD

    Oh, I know that. There is also Snipe Hunter to contend with, but the fact remains that most removal methods for require either prior setup or, more crucially, ending your turn (essentially, any trap-based solution) and ending your turn is an absolute nightmare for the crazy-tempo decks being played right now. There's also the fun point that, against any non-speed spell deck, Speed World is essentially like an improved Imperial Order (no LP cost and doesn't block yours since you're running speed). Now throw in Royal Decree or Jinzo and you've essentially got an S/T lock on your opponent already, and even without Decree it essentially paralyzes 50%+ of all the cards your opponent has at their disposal. I like those odds...a lot. <3

    And I hear ya' about writer's blocks. I hear ya'. It's like...I've got a bunch of separate stories in my mind and sort of get bits and pieces of them as I think, but whenever I get a new bit to one plotline the beginning of that plotline has already gone fuzzy. >.< *Shakes fist at memory* Why can't you be more organized?! >O

    Aaanyhow, once you do get another chapter posted, you can expect a review from me. I just don't want to go reviving since that's against the rules. Besides, having two chapters to review will probably help me find more useful things to say. :3

    Well, don't forget that Dust Tornado is still a viable option, and presuming that Dark Armed Dragon itself doesn't get banned it'll still be there. Then there's Solemn and Dark Bribe for the usual negation... but yah, Speed World= Love.

    Anyway, I'm going through one heck of a writer's block in regards to my fanfic. I keep meaning to add something to it, but every time I figure out where I want the next chapter to go something comes up and I have to deal with that first, and when I finish dealing with it I've usually forgotten what I wanted to do with the story. Stupid selective memory. >.<

    Lawl, CARD GAMES on the air? Yeah, wishful thinking...would be awesome, though. xD

    As for Speed World...it would be pretty cool if they made it to a real card, actually, at least if the rest of the speed spells are even semi-useful. Negate all spell cards except speed spells? Now there's a metagame wrecker if ever there was one. Wiping it out is a lot harder than it looks, too, because it turns both Storm and Typhoon into dead cards. :3

    "Today's news: Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds has been discontinued due to tonight's broadcast. It appears that the extremely shiny dragon caused a series of epileptic seizures unequaled since 'electric soldier Porygon'. Instead, we will be broadcasting an anime based on an online RP on Pokecommunity forums..."

    Yeah, I wish. XD

    Anyway, yeah, the speed world field spell actually gave some purpose to the whole "riding around dueling" thing. I can only imagine what a real-life version will do.

    I can only imagine...and I swear it will have enough sparkles to cause an epileptic seizure too. x.O

    And like, woah, I'll admit to being surprised by the jail thing. But then, I was also surprised to see a character confess that their deck is a semi-random pile of cards they picked up from the street too. Hmm...I'll have to say that despite the negative hype, this show seems to have a promising start, yes indeed. :3

    As for the motorcycle thing...I wouldn't put it beyond them, actually, what with the darn things stopping after you lose a duel, but then it could just be some fancy-schmancy programming associated with that Speed World field. =O

    If you think Junk Warrior is bad, just wait until you see Stardust Dragon. XD

    Well... maybe the motorcycles run on duel energy? XD

    By the way, it sounds like the plot is moving to a detention center in episode six, from the episode summary titles. In other words, for the first time a YGO main character is going to jail. Wowzas.

    Agreed on the Ant Lion trap, but then I think the point was to emphasize Uryu being a careless/overly enthusiastic player. (He might have the potential to become the Joey of the outfit, actually) Besides that n00by mistake, though, his little summoning trick wasn't too bad. (though it would have been more beneficial to nuke the Pinch Hopper with Insect Imitation, summoning Grasschopper from the deck and MA bug from the hand) And agreed on the insects, between Aztecipede, Doom Dozer, Pinch Hopper and Anteatereatingant they've actually got a very formidable pool of special summons, further emphasized by their synergy with Gigaplant. There's potential for a lower-tier swarm deck there, definitely. Ahh...makes me wish that I had some of those good insects in Spirit Caller. It would be a fun deck to play, I think. Anyways, here's hoping that Uryu makes it to regular cast member. :3

    As for the visuals...well, I suppose if you put it that way. Personally, though I just can't get over how pointless it is to ride around in circles while playing. I mean, what a waste of perfectly good fuel. xP More annoying, however, is the synchro summon thing. I mean, every time Yusei pulls Junk Warrior everyone goes all 'HOMG, it's Junk Warrior' like he's just split the freakin' atom. -.- I mean once, sure, but I'm seriously getting the urge to say "Yes. Junk Warrior. DEAL with it.". <.<

    Well, except for Uryu. Has anyone besides me noticed that his Ant Lion Trap dealt 3200 damage to him and only 800 to Yusei? Still, it was nice to see someone besides Haga/Weevil throwing around an insect deck. And Ye Gads, it actually made sense!

    Actually, while the concept of card games on motorcycles is idiotic, I kind of like the whole Riding Duel thing just from the visuals. Yeah, I admit it: I'd totally play card games on a motorcycle. XD

    *Blinks* Haku theme episode? What is this Haku theme episode you speak of? (another outlandish American expression I'm not aware of, perhaps? xD) But yeah, it remains to be seen whether fans will be stuck forever debating whether Rally x Yusei is yaoi or not for all eternity. Ahh...got to love these ambiguous characters. xD

    Anyway, I've got to say that I was actually pleasantly surprised by 5Ds. There's too much flash in places and children's card games on motorbikes is still about the stupidest thing in existence, but egads...two episodes in we already have something resemblant of a plot. And like, the people's almost know how to play card games too. It's actually kind of creepy. o.o

    Heheh, it was hilarious. I watched the first 5Ds and the first thing I thought when I saw him was "Did Janime's site accidentally leave the crucial 'S' out of 'she'?". But yesh, I still remember the entire Haku Theme episode. That was hilarious.

    Well, the old avvie was so grainy it hurt. x.O And yes, I do believe it would be decidedly fun to see the newbies peg me as a girl even as my user title quite clearly states the opposite. xD *Shot*

    Anyways, I do get where the debate gets its fuel from. When I first saw him I thought Rally was a girl too and I was like 'woah, a female character whose anatomy actually matches her age? O.O'. Guess I was getting my hopes up too much on that one. Still, I do like the character design, hence the avatar. :3

    So your first day back and you've changed avatars again. And yet again with a character whose real gender is the subject of heavy debate. XD Are you sure you want all the newbies thinking you're a girl again?
