Crime Lords Week: Let it begin!

And across the VS world there was a resounding “W00t!!!11eleventyone11!!!” as VSSystem.com opened the gates with the first official previews of the Crime Lords refeature!

Lordy, we’ve been waiting for this for a long time… no other Marvel team has had to wait longer for a refeature (though with the release of MUN, that honour will go to X-Statix), and boys and girls, it’s looking like a fine week ahead indeed.

Today we get spoiled rotten with a couple of new shinies, the first of which is the brainwashed sidekick of Captain America…

Spud says: GRRRRR AAARGGHH!

My server’s been down all night, my host says they’re “working on it”. Since I was planning on splitting up this week’s article anyway (didn’t get any time on the weekend to write, so it’s only half-written), I’ll just postpone the whole thing a day or two. Let’s say… Thursday.

Le sigh.

James Rhodes: Captain Popularity

In the last two days there have been over 200 hits on Lost Hemisphere’s very first Thursday Thirteen. An entry I made over two months ago. Why? The search queries provide the answer. Everyone’s looking for this fellow…

Sunday Night VS: Monkey vs. Robot

by Spud

Hmmm… it’s Monday morning, I don’t feel like working yet, and Gday’s slacking on the Monday post. Sounds like a recipe for some Sunday Night VS Recap action!

The highlight of the evening: a dull-off between two of the most hardcore stall decks in the game– Golden Doom vs. Golden Spider-Friends. On turn 6, we had some hints about how long this was going to go– we were both in the 40s. On the Doom side, I had Puppet Master, Doom, and some Entangles fuelling the no-fight-fest. On his side, it was Spidey, Spidey, and Spidey– with a little 6-drop Torch action to lock down my lowbies. On 8, he locked down my little guys and Sentried my Latverian Monarch. With little left to do in the attack department, I decided to finish things out in the best way possible: with monkeys.
