@@a_fuckin_spacemarine7514 ...South Park has always been woke. The people who say and do shitty things are the assholes in the show (like real life). It's like The Office. They aren't shows FOR pieces of shit, they're shows that make fun of how stupid those people are. ....then those people show their stupidity by watching it and being like "YEAH RANDY MARSH/MICHAEL SCOTT UNDERSTANDS ME!!!".
Oh piss off. Southpark has zero connection to nerd culture, fantasy, or sci fi. It literally shits on pop culture and politics all the time. EVERYONE watches southpark because its a show that doesnt belong to a specific genre. Get your ego in check.
It's funny too because they've done so much to appeal to "nerd culture" with the superhero and fantasy themed episodes, not to mention the games being ultra nerd shit: turn based strategy sci-fi/fantasy RPG's.
AlexStrife89 I think Jay is pointing out that the sentence "Irony much" does not make grammatical sense although i can not be certain of this. Also there is no irony present in this instance as the term irony is grossly misused and doesn't mean what people assume it does.
I completely forgot that South Park already existed as far back as 1997... Also, it's super weird hearing somebody say "trading card game" in 1997. Magic always used "collectible card game" back in the day, I don't remember hearing "trading card game" much until Pokémon came around and then legions of newer card games followed it.
Um, no that’s not true. Wizards trademarked the term “Trading Card Game” and even though they never enforced it, other card games referred to themselves as a “Collectible Card Game”. Magic was always a TCG
Nah. Go back and look at stuff that's actually from the mid-late '90s, then tell me if you still believe "they always used 'trading card game' to refer to Magic" or that "other companies used 'collectible card game' instead." I read tons of old game magazines (like Inquest and Duelist) back then and when Magic was described, it was always with the phrase "collectible card game." Other games actually went out of their way to use terms *other than* "collectible card game," even though they often went for "CCG" as the abbreviation since that was the common term back then (...because that's what Magic used.) Decipher's Star Wars was a "customizable card game" for example. It was just like how tons of games used a "tap"-like mechanic but none of them could actually call it "tapping" your cards.
I REALLY hope that Trey and Matt made that Magic the Gathering episode based off of this advertisement, because the fact that the episode making Kenny the master player of the game is too fucking on the nose for it to be a mere coincidence.
I remember watching South Park from the beginning and I also remember starting to play Magic the Gathering when Revised edition came out. *sighs* However in 2012 my home was burglarized and EVERY SINGLE MTG card I had was stolen. Every card I had collected since revised, gone. Thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars worth of cards. Not only that, they stole my kids baby pictures and scrap book. Fuck. Now I wish I hadn't decided to comment cuz I'm pissed off all over again. lol Luckily I had all my kids pictures backed up on a hard drive that I kept in my bag which was with me but I never found out who stole all the cards. I'd gladly do some serious jail time if I ever found out. 0 fucks.
I used to piss people off sometimes when they'd break out Magic cards and I'd call them Pokemon cards. The only difference is the monsters aren't cute.
Smart man. There's a reason why they call it cardboard crack. My local target won't stock it anymore over some fight or something over the merch. Hahaha
