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!

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?

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!

Thanks for joining us on the stream! We learned some dark truths about Vilio and his status as the Archdragon, got to see Balto get his comeuppance, and end on a chapter break that threatens the status quo of CIRCUS! Join us next time as we resolve that, and more!

Thanks for joining us on the stream! Things still look rough for Vilio, but thankfully his friends are right there to help him through even his grossest tasks! Join us in two weeks as the prince joins the CIRCUS crew for a big show, which should lead into a new Balto encounter!
September 25, 2024 at 4:11 AM
Thanks for joining us on stream! Things have started to diverge greatly from the main route, as the full scope of Vilio's mission is revealed! But the CIRCUS that plays together stays together, and it's time for one more trip around the world to bring smiles to the people!
September 18, 2024 at 4:15 AM
Thanks for joining us on the stream! We continue to get close to Vilio, providing support as he fights against the Fiends and being taught how to protect ourselves as well! Join us next week as we finish the CIRCUS tour and see what's in store for Tifalia and friends!

Fun fact: he's known online as "ごじおじ" (Goji-oji), roughly "5 o'clock uncle", due to a Twitter comment where he said that instead of wasting time on Twitter, one should play Yu-Gi-Oh! at least 5 hours a day if they want to win.

He used a DARK Zombie deck built to beat the best deck of the format, Synchro Cat, but ultimately lost in the finals to Synchro Cat, piloted by Takuya Kagami.

Thanks for joining us on the stream! Each new thing we learn about Vilio is more fucked up than the last, but Tifilia can't help but get more attached to him at the same time! Join us next week as we continue to delve into the world of Radiant Tale and Vilio's mission!
August 28, 2024 at 4:06 AM
Thanks for joining us on the stream! Looks like the threads are beginning to come together in Vilio's route already, but we still have a lot to learn about the world and everyone's place in it! Join us next week for our stop in Oriens!
August 21, 2024 at 4:04 AM
Thanks for joining us on the stream! Radie learned what it means to love and be human, finally reciprocating our feelings and leading to a pretty sweet ending for an otherwise sort of baffling story. Join us next week as we start the final route with Vilio!
July 31, 2024 at 4:34 AM
Thanks for joining us on the stream! Our Radie situation has gone from weird to weirder as we deal with questions about his personhood and goals. Can we bring back the Radie we knew, or is this Ship of Theseus fully someone new? And what does this mean for Tifalia's feelings?
July 24, 2024 at 4:14 AM
Thanks for joining us on the stream! After a successful show, things immediately got weird as revelation after revelation appeared in front of Tifalia! With all of these startling truths piled up, will she be able to shake the shock and find a way to save Radie?

Less known but equally inspiring is this similar exercise from Dan Peck in Pojo magazine. I don't think there's any overlap in the cast between these two magazines, and honestly both lists have their merits. Maybe we'll see some of this come true one day.

Now for something more akin to a cultural artifact, you can't look at Beckett magazines and not bring up the reader poll regarding who should play who in a theoretical live-action Yu-Gi-Oh! movie. Truly inspired casting from the Beckett readerbase.
July 15, 2024 at 10:21 PM
Here's coverage of the 2004 World Championship, as well as a breakdown of some surprising card choices among competitors at the 2006 World Championship. Both of these come from Beckett's unofficial Yu-Gi-Oh! collector magazine.
July 15, 2024 at 10:21 PM
These are all unrelated to the Video Game World Championships but fun finds nonetheless, some excerpts from magazines! The first is about the 2003 World Championship, from Beckett.
Interesting is the mention of a tournament scholarship program which I don't think ever came to be.

Thanks for joining us on the stream! Radie's route begins with a rejected confession, but also sows the seeds of intrigue around Radie's history and the truth of why he can't bring himself to love romantically. Join us next week as we see how this causes larger issues for CIRCUS!
July 3, 2024 at 4:10 AM
There's two weeks left before the anniversary of The Unofficial History of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Game World Championships' release! Make sure to read it if you haven't already, because I'm going to have some bonus material to share for it soon!

Thanks for joining us on the stream! Both sides of Radie (dog and man) have been charming to watch, and we're excited for his further developing relationship with Tifalia to be derailed by huge lore information! Join us next time as we get into his route proper!
