Okay, quick update:

ALL OF YOU- go buy Massive Assault now. Aside from it being super fun single player, the multiplayer doesn't take any time at all. Since its a turn based game, you challenge someone, take your turn, and it sends it off to the server. Then your opponent gets back to you, you know, whenever, and you play your turn. Its like ye olden days of playing chess via mail. I was hesitant to start up my first MP game today, but after I found out that it works this way, it seems much less stressful.

And Wizardry 8 rocks the casbah. The sheer depth of character generation, again with the turn based combat...I can be in a fight, go make myself a sandwich, come back, and they're still all just waiting there, ready for me to lay the smackdown upon mine enemies.

Two great games for less than 50 bucks. Today is a great day.
