This site is one of my favorites: [http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/](http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/) once I start playing Bauns, I just can’t stop! I’ve got to do a google search and see if there’s some kind of 12-step program for this. ---

At the moment it’s Dragon Court. [http://wild.ffiends.com/DCourt/Game.stm](http://wild.ffiends.com/DCourt/Game.stm) But I’m starting to get a teensy bit bored of it and will probably go back to the Popcap games soon enough. ---

confession time! My latest “obsession” in the realm of online games is Noah’s Ark, best played in IE on: [http://www.popcap.com](http://www.popcap.com) You ask why I say obsession? LOL Yesterday afternoon and evening, something was wrong with the NA program, it wouldn’t load completely on popcap! I was forced to feed my need at Yahoo! games! :eek: In the past, I’ve been _cough_ known to play: Scrabble Blitz ([http://play.games.com](http://play.games.com) ) and Clink and Know it All ([http://www.boxerjam.com](http://www.boxerjam.com) ). Don’t even get me started on the java games on: [http://www.gamehouse.com](http://www.gamehouse.com) - home of Collapse, Text Twist (omg, the devil’s workshop, I’m telling you!!!), and WHAT word. I’d better not follow any of the links in this thread… 😉 ---

It won’t hold my interest long term but [Roshambo Run](http://www.brunching.com/roshamborun.html) on the Brunching Shuttlecock site is my current favorite. ---

Yahoo Pool, without a doubt. It’s easy to pick up, somewhat satisfying, and it even comes with the weirdos that hang out in the pool parlor! Not that that’s a good thing, but I just mentioned it to show the “total realism” of the game… ---

Another place for scrabble is [www.playsite.com](http://www.playsite.com) warning these guys are serious players for the most part and have the scrabble acceptable word list memorized for the most part ---

I’ve been playing [Sissyfight](http://www.sissyfight.com) for about 4 years now on and off. It’s a schoolyard-based game where you scratch other girls, tattle on them etc until you make them cry. It’s a lot trickier than you think. But it’s so damned addictive. ---

I’ve been playing a lot of Monopoly at [playsite.com](http://playsite.com) lately. Occasionaly playing hearts or that game where you move the rocks around (marachoi or something). I still play Delta Force:Land Warrior every time I have an hour or 2 at home and the kids are sleeping. What flavor of DF do you play \*\* nightshadea\*\*? ---

Started off with Interstate 76’ and stopped when people started cheating (wow! I used to play an online game with a 28,8 modem and was just fine!). Then Ultima Online way back in 96 or 97’ and lost a little over a year to that particluar vice. Tried Everquest and thought is was ass so I played for just a week. I really enjoyed Counterstrike but it became a cheater’s paradise. Now I play some Tribes 2 and I like it a lot. ---
