interestingly, both times I've played the live version now, it has resulted in one of the other players on my randomly selected team of 4 friend requesting me at the end of the game.
My wife makes fun of me for talking to strangers. But its not like we're having deep philosophical and political conversations - its just like when you make small talk with the guy sitting next to you at the bar or in the seats next to you at the stadium. You share a common environment yet maintain anonymity.
Do you guys play games w/ your mic on?
