Skype Games?

Post by Jordan F »

I thought lately about possibly doing some games on Skype. Could just be casual games, a full Skype tournament if enough people were interested. If enough people were interested it could also have people fill in the role of dictionary corner, co-host, etc with a live active audience. If enough people are interested I'd like to try hosting a trial run of it.

Why not any messenger service with voice/video capacity?

No reason, just thought of it and brought it up.

That's true. Skype came to mind because that's what I have, but any one could work.

Could do it over the phone. Forget the internet - why weren't people doing this in 1982?

My life, it'd be great if there was a website you could do that and spectate on the games and everything. Why hasn't anyone ever thought of this before? Any ideas what we could call it? My submission (before anyone else snaps it up):
