I've pretty much switched to board games. They don't have activation servers, they don't need net connections and I get to see my friends IRL. I only have an underpowered GNU/Linux netbook at the moment so computer gaming's not really an option, anyway.

Not that there's anything wrong with board games - I agree with all the points you mentioned - but have you ever tried some of the text-based games on your netbook? There are a lot of them out there, most of them are free, and some are pretty awesome.

  There are even some awesome 2d games like 'Battle for Wesnoth' (open source) that will happily run on most netbooks.

  Mudlet runs pretty well, but it's nice to not have all my time disappear down that particular rabbit hole.
