It's Time to Duel!

In recent weeks I have found myself looking through my collection of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I was never really that great at the game, but I had a lot of fun. I stopped playing for about a year because I had all sorts of stuff going on that prevented me from going to my local club.

Yet I found myself looking at an old deck of mine and thinking, "Wasn't that a fun time?" So I picked up my deck and started fiddling with it. I removed a few cards here, added a few cards there and soon enough I had a decent deck built.

Once I had accomplished the feat of creating a deck I felt like it only made sense to put it to use. I called up a friend and we had a quick duel.

That duel reminded me of how much fun I used to have. Most of the fun that I had came from a club that I used to go to. I had made a lot of friends at the club and we always made each other better with every game.

That experience that I had with the club has gotten me to think. People are capable of making friends and having a good time through a card game. While some call people dorks just because they play Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh and consider it a bad thing, it really isn't. It's a social event to collect the cards and play these games. While there are more important things in the world, that doesn't mean that someone can't have a hobby.

I've started playing again, and while I may be a little rusty, I'm still having a load of fun.
