Play Pacman in Microsoft Excel
Pacman for MS-Excel is an amazing feat of VBA programming. As far as I can tell (I was never very good at Pacman), its a faithful rendition of the original arcade classic, written in Excel VBA, complete with sound and a demo mode.
Excel Space Invaders, also available at the same page, is another excellent conversion [...]

World of Warcraft
The World of Warcraft screenshots look excellent. You’ll have to wait a while though, the beta isn’t due to start until August at the earliest.
My New Bad Habit
Started playing Camelot. This is another MMPORG (Massively Multi-Player Online Roleplaying Game) like Everquest. I play Claomh Nutcracker, a Hibernian Hero in an Australian based guild called Nocturnal. We defend the Hibernian realm againt the Albions and Midgards.
Quadruple Party
POP!
Hail and well met! Quadruple planned a raid on Shinjuku, a very dangerous dungeon. I zoned in from Toei Shinjuku and used Jboots to run to the meeting point in front of Starbucks Inn. I did a /who but didn’t recognize anyone so I gave Tierra a /tell and he popped right in front of [...]

Along the way you’ll need to carefully manage your limited resources as you train fantastic troops, research powerful [...]
Starcraft
The Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss clash on the edge of the galaxy as they fight for survival. Featuring both an epic single-player campaign and intense multiplayer action, Starcraft takes real-time strategy beyond the next level. If you liked Warcraft, then you’ll love this. An excellent game.
Everquest
Started playing Everquest. Hiro came over and showed me the basics. It looks cool because it’s in 3D… like a mixture of UO and Quake. I’m not sure if I like it yet, but it’s taken over from all the other games I used to play.

Ultima Online
I blame Hiro for hooking me on this game. He’d been playing for about a year and kept on talking about how good it was. At first I just thought “oh yeah? Not another silly role-playing game like Diablo?”. In the end I gave in and bought the game. Big mistake! Average sleeping hours dropped [...]
