So, I've recently revived my gaming streak, and for as long as I've gamed, I've always enjoyed interacting with others. As such, I'm curious what games SN folks play. I've been strongly tempted to setup a Minecraft server for SoylentNews, but I don't really want to put in the effort if no one else is interested in playing. So, here's my simple question for the community; what games do you play, and would you want to play on an SN hosted server?
I'm tempted to make any gaming-related things be a subscriber perk, as an attempt to both increase subscriber benefits, and make such a target harder to grief. Not sure if it's a great idea, so I'd love to get feedback below.

Now the servers are mostly empty.
Well, they have made a few new shooters since then.
But seriously, pure DM is pretty niche nowadays. Perhaps, you could try out Quake Live, though it's Windows only.
Blizzard is readying Overwatch, its answer to TF2. TF2 and counterstrike are still pretty big along with Arma 3. Though, I haven't played CS in years (only up until 1.6, the pre source version) and never touched Arma 3.

QuakeWorld, the successor to Quake which was released in 1997 (a year after original Quake) with better net code for multiplayer, lives on!
