tarrestrial suggested finding some online game we could play together and be able to chat, etc. I don't really have any MMORPGs installed right now and we'd have to get them set up on both computers and have accounts and all that jazz. This is possible, of course, but we wanted something immediately, not several days later. I thought about suggesting a MUD or MOO, but honestly I haven't been near one in years and don't know if I'm up to walking someone through setting up a MUD client or using Telnet unless I'm being paid for it! As I took a quick peek through my bookmarks not really seeing anything multiplayer, I remembered something I tried years ago ... Puzzle Pirates.
Hmm. Pirates. Puzzles. Yeah, that just might do the trick ...!
Anyway, I've been poking around there a bit and doing some of the puzzles. You can certainly play for free and even get to play most of the games, just not all the time. (Some of them are free on some days.) If you sign up via this link, you get some in-game money (Pieces of Eight) for yourself and I get a referral bonus. (No, you don't have to be a paying member for this bounty!) When you sign up, look for the part on your account settings where you can pick your ocean -- I'm playing in the Midnight Ocean under the name "Woofus."
