Ok, not really. But I have been spending the past week playing a fun multi-player game in Alpha. Now it's in open beta and y'all might be interested.
http://www.whirled.com/
Whirled is a multi-player flash game platform from the people that made Puzzle Pirates and Bang! Howdy. In a nutshell: you sign up, you play flash games, you use the coins you earn from playing games to buy crap.
Many of the games feature single-player and multi-player modes. So you can just play, say, Boggle by yourself. Or you can play it with your buddies. All the games feature integrated chat, and there are also chat areas where you can hang out while not playing a game.
It's obviously a very social, non-grindy sort of game. I find in very enjoyable, as I can just sign on & play for a few minutes at a time.
Since the game just went into beta, there aren't a ton of game offerings yet. But I expect that will change. If I can ever get my head around Flash development, I have a few ideas that I'd like to try out.
If you do give it a shot, look for Gleja.

I've mostly been playing Quagmire (aka Boggle) and Dictionary Attack. But Paint Factory has its pleasures as well.

The quagmire thing won't let me spell the words. I have an S, P and Y for instance and it only lets me choose S and P and no other letters.

Are they next to each other? Also, are you typing or clicking? I just type the letters & have no trouble.

Oh, they have to be next to each other? That's difficult.

It's Boggle. Have you never played Boggle? I'm boggling at your boggle-less-ness. *boggle*.

I'm being sent to New York for a few days.
I won't be able to play WoW so this will hopefully fill the void while I'm alone in a hotel room with a crappy tablet PC.

If I have ever played boggle, I was apparently doing it wrong.
