4 of us downloaded Skype. Its voice program thats free to download. Thru a head set or your computer speakers /microphone we all played and talked as if we were in the same room . Laffing and cutting up wow what a joy . I would suggest to anyone , if you want to add the demention of talking to your friends during a game, this is a free way to do it. We even stayed talking after one player disconnected from the game. Wow that was soooooo nice to be able to do this. www.Skype.com By the way, it did not slow the game down one bit.........yeaaaaaaaaaaa.
