I play CounterStrike on a regular basis, in fact have my own CS server that hosts about 16 players on a regular basis.

The geographic locals and I have gotten together to hold a LAN to play all our favorite games; CS, Diablo, MechCommander, you name it.

There is a whole different dynamic to multiplayer games when you jam everybody into a confined space, and go at it.

Jokes tend to have a bigger impact when you can hear the laughter at them; success in fragging your opponent is so much more sweet when you can hear the cursing from down the table.....

My business partner had the sweetest deal going, during the final days of the closure of the ISP Call Center he worked for, there wasnt a whole lot to do, so he (and several co-workers) ended up playing CS about 40-45 hours a week (and getting paid doubletime for it, the punk.)

If you ever have the chance, and the inclination, I highly recommend it.
