Virtual word games with real opponents

Scrabulous_2You can tell it’s a slow news day as James and I are currently using our mobile tech just for fun. We’re logged in to the ‘net over WiFi playing a game of Scrabulous on Facebook while having a Skype videoconference. While it’s certainly fun to play this turn-based word game over long periods of time, it’s a completely different experience when you can see your opponent (as well as their facial expressions when they refresh and see that you stole the triple-word spot).

You can probably tell who’s winning (and who’s whining) from the Skype shot. And since when did "zen" become an invalid word? You should have seen my face when I got the message on that one! The best part was when I asked James to turn a light on so I could take the Skype picture. He was convinced I only wanted to read the reflection of his letter rack on his glasses!
