Yu-Gi-Oh Advent Calendar 2 Box of Friends

The second card is a present with toys inside. Box of friends is an effect monster with no attack or defense points, which upon destruction can summon 2 different normal monsters with one of their stats being 0. They are destroyed at the end of the turn. This can be used to set up a 2 monster XYZ summon for up to rank 6. It actually has a XYZ monster paired with it called Princess Cologne who revives it and can replace normal monsters when they get destroyed. There is also four pendulum monsters that might be able to be summoned by it, two Dracos, a Metalfoes and an Igknight monster. You can also use it to get temporary shields up at either 3000 Def or 2500 Atk. A good card, mainly for XYZ summoning, and thank you to Hill and Knowlton Strategies and Konami for getting us the Advent Calendar.

Yu-Gi-Oh Advent Calendar 1 Ceremonial Bell

The first card of the set turns out to be a church tower bell. A super rare Ceremonial Bell, a 3 star monster with decent defense that keeps both hands revealed. Since they are already revealed the players will not be able to use effects of cards like Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, or the Danger! archetype. There are also cards that allow you to guess what cards are in your opponents hand like Mind Crush, and ones that let you discard a card from their hand and activate other effects when those cards meet certain requirements like Thestalos the Mega Monarch. It seems pretty good if you can keep it alive. Thank you to Hill and Knowlton Strategies and Konami for sending us this set.

Mystery Skulls “Ghost” Animated Music Video

Logan found the Mystery Skulls and had me give it a listen and all I have to say is way cool! I love their single “Ghost”. It has a catchy beat that once you start the song it captures you until it’s done. Then on top of that they have a Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Machine inspired animated music video just brings it home for me. I love it, and encourage everyone to check them out on YouTube for some fun through MysteryBen27’s channel – Richard:

Devin Kennedy’s Single “Feel The Same”

“Feel The Same” is a smooth Pop single that flows over the listener. Devin Kennedy is tapping into the pop sound that showcases his voice perfectly. The single has that smooth feeling, but with the Pop beat through out as well. I really like that mixture, it works. Here’s Devin Kennedy’s “Feel The Same” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Rebel Rampage’s “Immigration Man” Music Video

Rebel Rampage is coming out of the blocks hard and fast with this hard hitting rock single “Immigration Man”. The bass beat is great and the lyrics are clear so you the listener catches every word. The single grabs you and doesn’t let go until the end. Of course the lyrics and music video have a political message that you might agree with or not. Nothing unusual because I’ve been around long enough that I’m used to music and musicians being politically active. All I know is that “Immigration Man” is a high auctane single that can be enjoyed for it’s rock flare. Be sure to look for Rebel Rampage’s album Divided We Fall from you digital vendor of choice, until then here’s the music video for “Immigration Man” through the bands YouTube Page – Richard:

Preacher 6 Trailer GoFundMe

You know how ComicPop Library has gotten into the independent films and helped out various creators. With in the independent films you never know what you might get, but there are some good films out there. Kyle Hester has sent ComicPop a request to see if any of our listeners would like to help them with their film Preacher 6. The GoFundMe is still active if you would like to help. I used the sizzle reel for our post and you can see another trailer on the GoFundMe page. The effects look decent, however one thing that will need work on is the sound edit. This might just be with the trailers, but the musical background drowns out the actors in the ones I watched. Still looks like an interesting concept. Here’s the GoFundMe page for Preacher 6 and the sizzle reel through Kyle Hester’s YouTube channel:
