catalyst2Breakfast at the hotel was buffet style - very nice, nothing out of the ordinary, but what do you expect for $15? Entertained myself but probably no-one else by failing miserably trying to play Street Fighter on the X-box. It is a cliche but I can't get over how ordinary the graphics, sound and gameplay is on those things - did we really use to play crappy games like that for days at a time?
Highlight was the live action MAG Blast game outside. It had got a bit warm by this point so it was good to get sprayed with the water pistols every so often! Endless thanks for Tim and Bronwyn for explaining the rules at least a hundred times during the first game (and even sacrificing their own advantages by telling us better strategies to follow). Second game was much quicker and smoother (and a hell of a lot more competitive). I have to apologize to Chris too - in both games it was me who delivered the killing blow to you command ship. I swear I wasn't picking on you! Tim and Bronwyn must have done their job very well because I could actually get the basics of the game quite fluently. I hadn't quite progressed to the point of working out any kind of strategy but to add a Dreadnought to my fleet by way of a single laser strike (by way of a "Direct Hit Effect" card + a "Boarding Party" card) was sweet indeed!
Thanks to Tim and Bronwyn for their extremely patient instruction.
