If you're into D&D, you can do a search for a local Encounters group at http://wizards.com/dnd/. If you're in a bigger city, meetup.com might also have listings of some groups.
I lost the use of my left arm and hand a year ago as a result of a gamma knife procedure to correct an AVM in my brain, so I'm very interested in any replies to this thread. I've been typing with one hand for over a year now and have gotten fairly proficient(as an ugly bastard, I wasn't terrible at one handed typing to begin with...), but I tried playing Torchlight II the other day and found that, while it's playable, two hands would be better than one. I was hoping to map some options to one of the multiple button on my mouse, but it appears that such a thing isn't available after a simple attempt. I hope I'm wrong and it is possible, but I've pretty much given up hope of seriously gaming again unless I can get my hand to operate again. If I do manage to get my hand working, I hope to play Tony Hawk again along with some MUDing to get my typing back up to par. Good luck, friend.
The college freshmen of today never experienced the "2001 all over again", so they are ripe for the pickings of email bombs that look "old hat" to old farts like us.

You can also go through good ole Usenet which has faster speeds than peer to peer like EasyNews. Happy torrenting!
Came here to say this, but then I remembered the first rule of Usenet...

Ever notice how governments actively seek to forbid citizens from actually -using- their rights?
