(wonders if there are parents of daughters out there who see their offspring similarly caught up in dueling-monster competitive manga spinoffs... Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh...)
Dealing with cards is not too bad -- other than they tend to get scattered all over the living room -- but trying to put together those damned tops is really annoying.
d. was playing WoW for about a month right after it came out.. reached about level 25 or 30 and then got bored and moved on.... i don't think he will be paying for it much longer!
last night he had a halo2 party... lots of halo 2 fans all trying to kill each other playing a fun little game called oddball! halo 2 is interesting... you can play by yourself and kill onsters, you can go online and play with folks all over the place, you can commect a bunch of folks into the same game.. and then it also has the options of playing games against each other like oddball...or capture the flag! lethal game that! not the capture the flag that i remember from the school yard!
Kids here moved past Yu-Gi-Oh on to Inuyasha then Fushugi Yugi and then something else (losing track) and now on to Full Metal Alchemist. We still have the buttload of various cards and they still duel from time to time.
If you're wondering about gender differences... Claire is the one who got Bren into it. She also draws manga. Obsessed with manga. Wants to grow up and live in Tokyo, already teaching herself Japanese. If this is the crack she's chosen, I'm all happy.
My older daughter has been a Pokemon freak since she was three. And both of them are Yu-Gi-Oh fanatics - Rich has to buy them the new Yu-Gi-Oh DVDs every week or two....
Not mine. They'll watch the shows, but they never discuss the stuff. Now, Neopets they love, but they don't do the Battledome. We're a pretty proactive pacifist family though and that may make a difference.
