travian
I am amused by Travian - it's a real-time browser-based strategy game, thing. forever_meg is to blame for this interest.
You can play as either Roman, Gaul, or Teuton; each has its own dis/advantages. As a Classics major, you'd think I'd be a Roman, but alas, my fondness for the "barbarians" and defense won out and I am a Gaul.
If it sounds interesting or you need yet another way to procrastinate, check it out and come join me on server 1 in the SE quadrant. Name's telyn, with village name Elgin. Come now, at least I didn't call it Moray ... just one of its medieval power centers.
