Well? I guess I play Red alert on westwood online, and before Halflife had probs I used to play its counterstrike mod, Team Fortress Classic, and tried out deathmatch classic. Oh yes, Just got Tribes 2, excellent teamplay for the machines that can handle its requirements... What online games do you play?

P.S. I like makin red alert maps with that editor!

coffeebean, the ability to post 30 or 40 messages a day is already a special ability.

As for spells, the act of going into Saks 5th Avenue and yelling "I need minis" and having 12 clerks run up and offer you the latest designs?  Well, that is a spell that only the mightiest wizards can perform!

Okay, I've been wondering about this. If I'm playing Tropico, and chatting online with someone who is also playing Tropico, and we are discussing our respective games, is that like playing Tropico online? Huh

I have occassionally played an online game called Poppit! at webcrawler games. It's only mildly addictive and aggravating.
