Mewtwo-A-Go-Go

The Pokemon world has gone crazy over Mewtwo lately, thanks to the upcoming release of EX:Next Destinies and the highly anticipated Mewtwo EX card. Shortly after the release of Next Destinies on February 8, a special Mewtwo Collection box containing two Next Destinies packs, a Mewtwo EX jumbo card, a cool Mewtwo figure, an exclusive Battle City Stadium card promo, and (of course) a Pokemon TCG Online code card, will be released.

If the video games are more of your bag, then there's good news for you as well: a special Mewtwo will be given out via Nintendo WiFi. The Level 70 Mewtwo will have a random nature, hold a King's Rock, and know a move Mewtwo doesn't ordinarily know: Electro Ball. The promotion starts February 12.

To learn more about Mewtwo and EX:Next Destinies (and to download some cool wallpapers in the process!), you can go to Pokemon.com's mini-site here.

Happy Boxing Day!

Oh wait - it's not about that kind of boxing.

A little Christmas Eve fun....

For this year's Christmas Eve offering, the Warp Point brings you Twas the Night Before Christmas: Florida Style. Having lived in Florida most of my life, I can tell you it's tooooo accurate.

As always, NORAD is tracking Santa at this very moment. Kids (and adults!) can keep a watchful eye on Santa's travels (and maybe learn some geography in the process). Just make sure the little ones are tucked in before midnight!

That's all for this year, and may you and yours enjoy the holidays!

A musical Advent calendar

Yep, it's another Advent calendar - this time with classic Christmas music videos. I'm sure this will bring back many a memory. Enjoy.

Serebii.net's 2011 Advent Calendar

The holidays are upon us again, and that means it's time for Serebii.net's Advent Calendar! The 2011 edition can be found here, and like always, it's chock-full of puzzles, games, and downloadable icons and wallpapers. Be sure to visit every day from now until Christmas Eve!

Neo Fights: A guide to Pokemon TCG terminology.

Since it's been a long time since the last Neo Fights article....

The helpful folks at the PokeBeach forums are assembling a glossary of Pokemon TCG terminology that may be useful for newcomers and veterans alike. The glossary covers deck and card nicknames, game play, tournaments, and common tournament formats. Well worth a look.

Happy Thanksgiving!

A little Thanksgiving treat for my readers: everything you wanted to know about cooking a turkey (but were afraid to ask) from the University of Illinois.
