All Fun and Games

I discovered that Microsoft let's you play a whole bunch of games for free. There's a ton of them and you can play them single player or against other people.

I've been playing a bit of Texas Hold 'Em, and it's pretty fun. You earn or lose rating points depending on how you place, and the service tries to match you with comparable players.

I'm sure there are some other poker sites where you can do the same thing for free, but the MS site has tons and tons of games that people are playing, and it keeps track of how you do with all the games. It might even be cool to get a little better at chess and play against other people at the site.
