Hey Guys,
I realize that I am somewhat late to the game, but my nephew just convinced me to pick up Age of Empires III. If you haven't tried it, it's a blast. Moreover, it has multi-player online features. So what I was wondering is this: do you have the game and if so, might you be interested in coordinating a time to play together? Let me know.
P.S. If you are not familiar with it, it is a real time strategy game much like the old Dune 2 that we used to play in college.

Honestly--when do you find the time?
I get home around 5:30. Get done eating around 6:30. Scurry to get the wee ones in bed by 7:00.
So I guess after 7, although I'm a zombie at that point and pretty much no use to anyone. :)
Wasn't there a South Park about MMOPGs?
I've yet to buy a Wii or latest-gen console for exactly this purpose; I just don't feel like I have the time, and if I do--I'd rather it go to a person.
If I had the time, I would be into it. I would need time to learn the game as well as play it, and I understand games can last hours, much like Dune 2. Those were fun times, though...
Now, if you were able to find, say, Star Control 2 Melee in a multi-player online format somewhere... those games last more like 15 minutes. (Or two minutes, if someone uses an army of Chmmr Avatars, Chenjesu Broodhomes, Kohr-Ah Marauders and Ur-Quan Dreadnoughts... (thank you, Internet))
Where do I find the time? Well, perhaps some clarification. I am, at best, a casual gamer. Which means, while I enjoy AoE, I am not the kind of person who will spend every night hacking away at becoming great. This is a casual thing that I will pull out once a week. That's why I asked you guys. I figured if we stayed roughly on the pace, we'd actually be competitive with one another. When you go online, you find all these psycho nuts who have WAY TOO MUCH TIME on their hands. If you change your minds, let me know.
I'm in. I use the evening to decompress after the silliness at work. Of course, I would need to get the game first...
For you "casual gamers" I find the co-ops particularly fun. I want to try this one when it comes out:
