Hey raymond6751!
I too need to carefully plan my free-time, don't have alot of it either.
I just hate the times when I've spend all evening or, even worse, the whole day on finding, bought, installing and tweaking a game (PC-game that is) just to find out it's either crap or just isn't my bag. The games I've appreciated the most are those who doesn't feel like a game, if you get my point. I have very high standards, and have become very picky in choosing games worth spending time on.
Boardgames seems like great fun! I play 'em too, but only in digital versions, so to say. Paradox Entertainment (Sweden's finest

) has developed a number of game series that is somewhat equal to a real boardgame experience. Hearts of Iron, Europa Universalis, Victoria is highly recommended. As well as Command Ops - Battles from the bulge. Check these out
Great idea about the wifi-headphones! Will definitely get one of those, thx!
