Anyone used a game to keep in touch with someone?

Last year a close friend of mine joined the army and had to move out-of-state for training. Keeping in touch with him was hard, as he has little free time outside of the military and raising a family. We tend to use different forms of internet communication as well: I prefer emails while he uses Facebook almost exclusively.

In a strange coincidence, both of us decided to get Xbox Live a few months ago. Ever since then we've been using it to stay in touch. We tend to gravitate towards co-op games like Borderlands, since he often has to stop playing to attend to family matters, like putting the baby to bed.

Anyone else use games as a way to keep in touch with others?

Yeah I used to use Age of Empires III ages ago. I like the online setup of that game, great for socializing.

As you mentioned, I play Xbox live with some old friends I went to school with who have now moved away. Wednesday night is Perfect Dark night on Xbox live hahaha.

WoW was a great way for me and all my friends/roommates to keep in touch.
We have a good 30 people that we all know in real life, so it is a great time.

A friend of mine joined the Navy and is in Florida right now.

We sometimes play Uncharted 2 together

Yea, I've used games to keep in touch with friends. Best way to chat during a boring weekend.

One of my friends I don't see that much anymore, but I play WoW with her almost every night. Along with about 20 of her friends I now know.

Sad thing to admit but I use to keep in touch with all my friends when we moved all over in runescape but its long since been changed to wow. It's just easier to talk in game I find then to send an email or anything else.
