Most enjoyable gaming experience is usually with friends. That's something most of us would agree, regardless of the game. I beat first Silent Hill game first time in my friend's house, with him, playing every Saturday night from 00:00 am to 02:15 am. It was after we clean the house, do the dishes and everyone else goes to bed. Two of us with dictionaries open (we didn't know much English back then), and on a 15.4" laptop screen, we enjoyed ourselves.
However, once you part your ways with your friends in terms of living place, it's nearly impossible to play same games with them. Or with other people.

After a few months, I started to visit another friend of mine. They were three students living in same house, and we were total four people for card games. You see, it's not all about computer games when a few students got together; but I admit that it's not without computers either.

After a while, my roommate started to treat us, and beat all of us in card games. He was using my computer until he bought one. One day I saw him playing poker on my computer; and it was when I first saw an installed game on my computer. He was playing Poker (and earning a considerable amount): Party Poker. No wonder how he got experienced and beat us all to it, and treating us drinks after his victories. Later on I've learned that he followed playing guides on the website. No wonder he did beat us all.

That was kinda funny, because it's usually the victorious side who's got treated, but hey, it was fun and he could afford it. After I started to stay in dorm, as long as we kept in touch, I knew he continued to play.

From time to time, I still go to my friends' houses. Although our intent is not to play games all day long, we usually do. As we all share our time together, chat each other we ended up spending all day to games, however end up spending that time together. But it is possible for us to get together online to play our same game on computer, just like my previously mentioned friend did.
