HTML5 browsers will have built-in video decoding capability without the need for plugins, especially Flash which in my experience has been a terrible medium (as far as resource efficiency) to distribute video. It takes more CPU, more memory, and isn't as clear or as smooth as just playing h.232 video.
I believe that a lot of the animation and interaction functions of Flash could be done in SVG or its ISO-approved, 3d cousin X3D. Obviously, video can't be done in one of those, but there are probably hundreds of video codecs to use that would work better.

We love to play Mafia. It's a great social game that for some reason appeals to nerdy/geeky types.
