Playing a Game

I played Reversi (Othello) on Yahoo games. To begin, I imed a friend and asked if he would like to play an online game with me. He suggested Reversi on Yahoo. I logged into the lounge Zebra Cove and met him. He has been playing online games for years, so he suggested we meet in Zebra Cove. This was my first experience playing an interactive online game at Yahoo (or anywhere else). I suppose we could have just played the game but we did a lot of chatting while we played. At first we just did silly trash talking, but after a while someone else entered our game to watch. I thought this was odd because it was only a two player game so I asked my friend about our audience member, what he had the ability to do, and why he was there. After a bit of time, our viewer left. It turns out that I stink at Reversi so we ended up discussing strategy while we played. We played four times and stopped after I finally won a match (I think he let me win). It was a fun experience, but I don't think I'll be doing it too much. It's a good alternative if you're alone, but I'd rather play games in person (and I don't like being watched by strangers). Plus, I'm sure it can get very addicting.
