This series holds a special place in my heart not for a very normal way at least i dont think so. This series came out whilst i was transitioning from AIT to my first duty station and I had only watched this episode whilst i was in processing and i remember this great deal of sadness as i was on my own for the first time in my life in a part of the country i had never been in before far away from the people i knew. Especially with this series being so close to Thanksgiving/ Christmas it was especially sad but I would come home from doing whatever paperwork I had to do or gear i had to get to a empty barracks room with nothing but a laptop and 2 duffle bags worth of stuff but just to feel that sense of almost home i would watch these videos watching the snow fall outside before finally falling asleep and it made life a lot less depressing while i was watching these videos so thanks mark for always being there, i also use these videos to gauge just how long I've been here so now im at 2 months and some change. Anyways if you read this i appreciate it. Sorry for the grammatical errors its 2 in the morning and im on my phone.

@@xaviercreed2300 At that point in the game they're the only reliable way to summon attack/defense creatures lol the game has a pretty standard gameplay loop: Draw squirrels, summon, draw squirrels, summon. Problem is, Mark wasn't drawing any Squirrels at all and just summon creatures, meaning he either wouldn't be able to summon or he would have to sacrifice attack creatures just to summon an attack creature that probably wouldn't be more of a benefit.
