Or medical training. You know how on TV, the EKG machine always beeps with every heartbeat? That’s called the QRS beeper (one beep for every QRS wave) and it’s turned on in the operating room. With some experience you don’t even need to see the number to know that something’s changed, you can hear the beeps coming faster or slower.
Also with the current models, the blood oxygen sensor (pulse oximeter) changes the pitch of the beep. At 100%, the beep is an F natural, and goes down one half step for every percentage drop.

(don’t bother looking for it, it was a hideous cash-grab where you had to buy entire decks because they were themed as new slightly randomized adventures geared to particular characters and the winner was most likely the player who’d bought extra decks to pair the most powerful equipment to the best reward/risk obstacles.)
Geez…sounds like a game you could emulate just by having the childlings do an in-game match of Yu-Gi-Oh. It’s all fun and games up until the Ahroun with fae affinity comes across the gathering and nearly gets toasted by a chimerical Blue Eyes White Dragon…
“Um…oops?”
“Just…don’t say anything until my fur stops smoldering.”
I gotta agree with Nicole, going to someone’s house to play a game (or console) you don’t own is more fun than buying it yourself. You can go through a game together, and relentlessly tease each other about how bad the other is at the game, only for you to die at the same spot as them when it’s your turn xD
I still remember in high school when one of my friends was playing my copy of Ocarina of Time, his first time playing a Zelda game. I swear it took him 10 minutes in the room where you get the Slingshot to figure out he needed to shoot the ladder with the newly acquired slingshot, despite me giving him every mocking hint possible and him staring at Navi highlighting the ladder for 5 minutes.
“The muzzle flashes reflecting off the wall are slightly faster.” Only a nerd like Kade could pick up something like that, and I love it! XD
Wait, you mean you don’t notice things like that?
He doesn’t have ADHD like the rest of us.

I have really bad ADHD and I could probably notice that I think
Noticing it when you’re playing cards game ….. You’re totally unrecoverable , Kade ^_^”
Really, Kade? Pokémon?! You need to grow up and play Magic: the Gathering!

Nah mate, Yu-Gi-Oh is where it’s at.
I’m in a group that still gets together for Magi Nation. Been out of print for years, but we still have fun.
