    Starcraft 2 is already Friday nights.

    Bad Company 2 already lost steam with most NBR gamers here.

    What about civ 5, it's difficult to find people that sign on enough to finish civ multi games :(

    How do you make group event popups anyway... is it a group admin thing only? I noticed a few for SC2 while on civ or l4d and thought hmm that might be useful.

    since it's a laptop forum... when you guys do play wow you have a totally legit reason to ninja-quit during a raid!

    "Oh NOES my laptop is overheating! gotta shut it down for the night." everyone would then noddes in sympathy.

    Though I seem to have less and less free time nowadays, if you see me on Steam/SC2 and I'm not already in game or "Busy" then I'll usually be glad to join in. For MP games I've got:

    L4D 1&2
    Borderlands (with all but the latest DLC)
    Sol Survivor (just got this over the weekend and have been having some fun with friends)
    SupCom 2 (with DLC)
    Starcraft 2 (usually on Fridays)
    Guild Wars (haven't played in quite a while)

    Those are all I can think of ATM.
