With Thanksgiving over, I thought it would be fun to talk about five Yu-Gi-Oh cards that have to do with food. I don't mean just fruits and vegetables, either. I mean cooking and consuming food too. Here are the cards that I think deserve a look this holiday (in no particular order).
Marmiting Captain
Marmiting has to do with French cooking according to this card's yugioh-wikia page. This card has more to offer than a guy in an apron when it is normal summoned, though. For the price of shuffling a card into your deck, you can draw a card. If it is a monster, you can special summon it to the field as a bonus. It's a more complicated Marauding Captain.
Token Feastevil
Nothing is better than a feast. In this case, it's metaphorical. When a token is special summoned to the field, all tokens are destroyed and your opponent gets to 'feast' on 300 pts of damage per destroyed token.
Papa-Corn
One of the great things about food is that you get to share it with family. This card combines the two. If a field spell is on the field, Papa-Corn gets a 1000 ATK boost for as long as the field spell remains on the field.
Number 50: Blackship of Corn
Speaking of corn, how about a ship made of it? This XYZ monster has a great ability. You remove an XYZ material monster from this card and you can destroy one of your opponent's face-up monsters that has an ATK that is less than or equal to Blackship of Corn. Bonus: your opponent also takes 1000 pts of damage. However, your ship can't attack this turn but that's okay.
Token Thanksgiving
Yes, this card had to be on this list. You lose all tokens on the field. However, you get 800 LP for each token destroyed. Mmm....tasty.
And there you have it - a small yet fun post for this holiday week. I hope you enjoyed this post and if you did, please Follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. Leave a comment telling me your favorite food related cards. Have a good week, enjoy your leftovers, and as always, keep on gaming!!

Pokemon Sun/Moon is Out! Here's What You Need to Keep in Mind....
Before we get into this post, I just want to apologize for the lateness of this post. I had everything ready to go yet somehow forgot about posting until this morning. I couldn't get to a computer until just now because I was so busy helping to prep for the upcoming holiday. I apologize again and hopefully this won't happen again. Thank you for your patience-now on to the post!
It's here! Pokémon Sun/Moon has finally arrived! I, for one, am stoked about getting to play through a new region. While the excitement is high, there are a few things you should keep in mind before/while you get the game...
1) The gameplay of Moon is twelve hours apart from Sun. Daytime events become nighttime events and vice versa.
2) Game variants: Lycanroc's form varies depending upon which game you get. Also, you can only get Passimian in Pokémon Sun and Oranguru in Pokémon Moon.
3) Some Pokémon have multiple forms/colors. Minior's core comes in multiple colors but you can only see the color when you knock it below half health. Oricorio has multiple forms depending upon which island it is caught on.
4) Leaks are out there. If you don't want to get spoiled, like me, avoid Youtube and most of the internet until you start playing the game yourself. Videos of the gameplay (let's plays) were being posted as early as Thursday! I'm not kidding.
5) Have fun. The whole point of the games is to enjoy yourself and that will happen with features like more immersive gameplay, Pokémon Refresh, Poké Pelago, and more. Try everything and don't hold back!
Well, that's all for this week. I know most people will be too busy playing the new game to do much else so I decided to keep my post brief for this week. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving (those that celebrate it) in advance and wish you luck in your games and holiday doings. Feel free to post your thoughts on the new games in the comment section below (no spoilers please). If you enjoyed this post, don't forget to follow me so you won't miss out on future posts. Enjoy the games, and as always, keep on gaming!

Top 5 Things I Am Most Excited About in Pokemon Sun/Moon
With less than a week until Sun/Moon's release, it seems fitting that I talk about what excites me most about the upcoming games. With all the trailers and leaks, there is plenty to consider. This is all my opinion, of course, so you may not agree with it. I am sure that we can all agree, however, that we can't wait until Friday. So without further ado, here are the top 5 things that I am most excited about in Pokémon Sun/Moon.
5. Poke Pelago
Now the Pokémon in our pc boxes can have fun too! The idea of having an area for the Pokémon we don't use is very appealing to me. There are many islands they can visit and I am curious to see just how many kinds of islands there are. My favorite thus far is Isle Aphun where your Pokémon can search for items like evolution stones.
4. A Better Story Than in X and Y
It's no secret that the storyline in X and Y was a bit disappointing. There was very little to it and it left a lot of unanswered questions. Hopefully, the Sun/Moon story will be much, much better.
3. No HMs
Nothing was more annoying than having to give up a move slot for an HM move. Move deleters and HM slaves helped a bit. Still, it was infuriating to get halfway through a cave to discover that you left the Pokémon who had learned Rock Smash (or Strength) back in the PC. The new ride system where you can call on Pokémon at any time is far more convenient and all but confirms the elimination of HMs. My only worry is that Surf will not be teachable via TM. It was the only HM worth learning, after all.
2. Expanded Character Customization
Nothing was more disappointing in X and Y than realizing you couldn't take your character's hat off. Now you can choose to remove the hat. There are also more hairstyles and clothes. Even the color palettes seem to have been expanded. I cannot wait to go shopping for new outfits.
1. Meeting Characters From Other Games
Undoubtedly the most exciting thing in any game is running into characters from previous games. In this game, we will get to battle with Cynthia and the original hero and rival, Red and Blue! That right there was unexpected but totally awesome. I just wonder about the timeline, though. Exactly how old are Red and Blue anyway? Either way, I can't wait to meet them in the Alola region.
And there you have it, the top 5 things I am most excited about in Pokémon Sun/Moon. I am counting the minutes until I can play this game and can't remember a time when I was this excited for a video game. I wish you all luck in the new region and as always, keep on gaming!

Top Ten Alolan Forms Released Thus Far
We are only 12 days away from Pokémon Sun/Moon's release and the excitement continues to build. This week, I thought it would be fun to take a look at my top ten Alolan forms that have been released thus far. I will not be looking at anything that hasn't been released in an official trailer or the demo. Also, as always, this is all my opinion and you don't have to agree with me. Now that we've covered the formalities, let's jump into it!
10. Alolan Exeggutor
As much as it pains me to say it, I don't dislike Alolan Exeggutor as much as I dislike other Alolan forms (like Grimer). I kind of understand the long neck adaptation but I still don't like it. I also find the secondary Dragon typing to be ridiculous. Still, it's not as bad as others design-wise which is why it earned a spot on this list.
9. Alolan Rattata
I will be the first to admit that I don't like Rattata. It's just not my favorite to catch or fight against. Still, I like its Alolan form. The primary Dark typing now makes moves like Bite more powerful. Plus, its mustache kind of reminds me of Mario.
8. Alolan Meowth
I love cats and have always thought that Meowth was cute. However, I didn't use it much because Normal types have never been that powerful. I love the new Alolan form's coloring while the smug expression I could do without. Still, like Rattata, it's a typing that makes sense since it has so many Dark type moves in its move pool. Dat's right!
7. Alolan Marowak
If you've ever played Red, Blue, or even Leaf Green, you know the story of the Marowak ghost. It has always stood out as one of the sadder moments of the game. I'm glad Marowak got some love in this new generation. Its Alolan Form looks great. Its Fire/Ghost typing is unexpected yet Ghost feels very appropriate for this Pokémon. I look forward to seeing this Pokémon in action in the upcoming games.
6. Alolan Muk
If you had asked me about my favorite Gen 1 pokemon, Muk wouldn't have been on the list. I don't like the look of Muk (it's sludge, eww). However, I like the look of Alolan Muk. The rippling color effect is amazing and really steps up this Pokémon's design. I still think the design could have been of a different typing than Poison/Dark but at least it's immune to Psychic type attacks now.
5. Alolan Raichu
I have never been a fan of Raichu. For the longest time, I wouldn't even evolve my Pikachus. However, I tried using one and gained respect for it. Alolan Raichu takes that respect and turns it into love with that adorable design. How can anyone say no to that face?
4. Alolan Ninetales
Ninetales has always been majestic with its nine golden tails. Alolan Ninetales takes that and blows it out of the water. I love this beautiful design and unexpected Ice/Fairy typing. It's so lovely yet the appearance of it in the game doesn't quite seem to do the 2D art justice. It's still fantastic, though.
3. Alolan Sandslash
Sandslash is another one of those Pokémon that I never really used. I am so glad it got an upgrade in its Alolan form. The typing of Ice/Steel is (like so many other Alolan typings) unexpected but really (pardon the pun) cool. I know it'll be pretty slow but it is still awesome.
2. Alolan Sandshrew
The only thing cuter than a regular Sandshrew is the Alolan form. I love how it looks like it's wearing an igloo parka. It's so cute and I really like the Ice/Steel typing. Again, I know it will be slow and very weak to Fire and Fighting attacks, but I still love it so much.
1. Alolan Vulpix
The absolutely most adorable Alolan form of them all. I always loved Vulpix and I think it looks even better in white and blue! Just look at it. How could this not be number one? Its Ice typing is great and its fur looks like piles of snow! I can't wait to catch one of these in the upcoming games.
And there you have it, my top ten Alolan forms released thus far. I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. Leave a comment below telling me your favorite Alolan types.
