This guy is playing World of Warcraft on his iPhone. Not quite the most user friendly looking experience. World of Warcraft is actually being run from the computer and then controlled via the iPhone, so not the most portable/sensible option either. Good for a quick laugh though.

Ventrilo has a free server license version, but you will need to read the Ventrilo licensing agreement to see if you qualify to use Vent for free. Installation instructions can be found at http://www.ventrilo.com/forums/showpost.php?p=52411&postcount=2

Ventrilo is meant to be better than Teamspeak, but many people will need to buy a license to use it legally.

Note that if you set up your own Ventrilo or Teamspeak server, it can use a lot of bandwidth.

Here are some links to use freely available Ventrilo servers.

TeamSpeak 4 Free claims to have free TeamSpeak servers available for guilds etc to use. I haven't look into it. I play WoW, but given what I hear on channels, I have no wish to listen to people on TeamSpeak *shudder*. You might find it useful though.

Ventrilo is meant to be a nicer system to use than TeamSpeak. See here for free Ventrilo Server information

ROFL Attack is a game that is great for a laugh. Try it here. Actually playing it isn't really the point. ROFL Attack is a spoof of Heli Attack 2 and is more for amusement that playing. Make sure you have your sound on for some extra laughs.

In ROFL Attack, you are an elite ROFLer and fly your ROFLcopter to destroy LOLLERskaters and LMAOplanes using OMGmissiles and WTFbombs. PWNage!1SHIFT+1

Heli Attack 2 is a game that on its own is pretty lame. Its main claim to fame is that the much more amusing, although equally crap game, ROFL Attack spawned from it.

Dark Swords is a free MMORPG game. It looks a bit like a telnet/chat client integrated with a 3D engine from the screenshots. Let's hope they put more imagination into the game than they did into its title.

Winterbells is a simple game. You control a cute little bunny that is trying to climb to heaven or at least get away from the mundane boring plane where it currently resides by jumping on bells.

Each time the bunny touches a bell, you get propelled higher into the air and score some points. There are some other things to jump on as well to help your score along.

The bunny must be part cat. I was expecting it to splat on the ground once I missed my last bell, but I guess it is a family game. Booo!

Play Winterbells and trounc

SlimeBall is a very simple game to learn, but an incredibly difficult one to master. It is also pretty fun to play if you enjoy a challenge and can stand being beaten by a computer a lot.

It is a derivitation of volleyball. You can play against the computer or against a friend.

Here are some Slimeball tips:

Scorched Earth was an old game that many people came to enjoy. I found some of the simple old games offer more fun than most of the recent games. These days they concentrate on graphics and marketing. Earlier games had to concentrate more on an ideas and gameplay.

This 3D version of Scorched Earth didn't grab my attention for very long. I found the controls a bit too frustrating for the short attention span I had at the time I tried Scorched 3D. A lot of effort has gone into Scorched 3D and there are some additional features not available in the original game.

Give Scorched 3D a go. Peop

Note: Tammy the Virtual Bartender is on display in all her glory for you to try out these commands.

Note 2: There is a new Virtual Bartender featuring two lovely ladies, Trisha and Lisa, that can be found under our first Virtual Bartender, Tammy.

Virtual Bartender is more a link for the guys. Tell Playboy Tammy your wishes and see what she is willing to do. All commands I know are listed at the end.

Tammy will strip, but in ways such that you don't get to see anything too raunchy (well at least from what I tried, maybe Tammy likes you more than me). Tammy also has friends that will join her during her virtual bartending duties.
