*yawn*
I babysat last night for my dad's friend Tracey. For the first two hours I just had the two younger kids, and at about 8 o'clock Tyler, the eldest, showed up.
I had a good time, heh, but nothing overly exciting happened. :p
Before Tyler showed up, we played around with some action figures for a while. We were up in Corey's room listening to her own music mix when he got home. After Tyler got something to eat, we played Super Smash Brother Melee for a while, and then switched off playing Lord of the Rings.
When the younger two went off to bed, Tyler watched me play Yu-Gi-Oh: Duelist of the Roses. I hadn't played the game for ages, as my own PS2 is broken. ;_;
Anyways. My memory card was busted (it'd been through the washing machine and dryer, >>) so I borrowed a space on one of Tyler's memory cards. And the gaming began!
Duelist of the Roses is a pretty unique combination of the Yu-Gi-Oh card game and a chess-like sort of thing. You play cards on the field, like in the game, but then you can move them around, like chess. Your cards can only be summoned in the area directly around your 'Deck Leader', who acts sort of like your own mobile base. If you corner your opponent's Deck Leader, it's much like cornering an opponent's king in chess. You win. :p
Then again, there's the standard Yu-Gi-Oh method of winning: reduce your opponent's LifePoints to zero. When two monsters get into a battle, the difference between their attack or defense strengths results in damage to the creature with the lesser amount. You start with 4000 LP in this game.
Example:
Creature A, with an Attack Power of 1500.
ATTACKS
Creature B, with an Attack Power of 1400.
Creature A destroys Creature B, and Player B's LifePoints are reduced by 100, the difference between the attack powers. Congratulations, you now know have a rudimentary knowledge of Yu-Gi-Oh battle rules. >>
More often than not, I win in the game by cornering my opponent's Deck Leader. They usually have monsters ridiculously more powerful than anything I could hope to create, so I can't really count on doing an awful lot of Battle Damage.
Tyler stayed up well past his bedtime, catching me every time with the "After the next duel" line. Let's just hope he didn't fall asleep in school today. ;p
After he went to bed, I stayed up and played the game for another hour or so. I got pretty far, considering the time I spent. I beat the game from one point of view, and I beat two of the people from the other side. I was falling asleep as I did it, though, and had to constantly reposition myself to stay awake.
Kind of like what I'm doing now. >>
I actually did doze off enough to drop the controller on the floor, which woke me back up immediately. ^_^'
Tracey came home, and her husband drove me home. I stayed up chatting on AIM for about an hour, and eventually got to bed at 2-ish.
My dad went in for surgery today. Nothing really major, he was just having his tonsils taken out. I was totally unaware that he had left, though, as I was asleep until 1 o'clock. >>
I did appreciate the sleep, though. I felt more rested than I had in weeks. Hopefully I can keep up this trend of good sleep. I'll need every minute of it as the fencing season approaches.
Eh.... *loses train of thought*
I'm going to see if I can't snag the TV and watch Full Metal Alchemist when it shows on Cartoon Network.
Ciao.
EDIT: Riiiiiight. FMA is going to be on tomorrow night. >>
