Sounds like Battlefield 2

This game is similar to Battlefield 2 from EA Games. In that game you cap flags that remain yours until the enemy wins them back. Except that in BF2 you use guns and tanks :)

Payphone Warriors sounds like fun. Good exercise too.

Looked like heaps of fun:

You need to get a life!

And I thought "You've been served" was stupid. These people need to find something to do with their lives. How about a game to see how many quarters you can give to the homeless and help someone? Winner gets to be a hero on the nightly news.....

Payphone

I dont know,but that sounds so cheesy and boring,
I guess you had to be there.

Get a Life, Man!

Sounds like a nerd world to me.

Awesome fun! I would have loved to be a part of that.

You killed my dog

I tried to use a phone that day in the park because my dog had
just been hit by a car, but a geek guarding a phone wouldn't let
me use it.

Hope your game was fun!

Let me understand this

So your dog gets hit by a car, which to me is an extreme emergency, and you let a nerd tell you that you can't use the pay phone? If that were me, there would be one less nerd in this world. Sounds like you should have been just a wee bit more forceful.
