League of Legends.
Or Blood Bowl.
Or Dwarf Fortress.
Those are the three taking my gaming time these days.

Thanks, but it's been fun
Five more minutes then I'm done!
I've been saying that to myself since
...yesterday.
- from "Has anybody seen my corpse". Man Everquest rocked back in the day...

These days it's League of Legends. I can't believe I let my friends convince me into trying that game out, I'm totally hooked now.

Also playing LOTRO, but very very casually. I have a lifetime account, so it doesn't cost me a cent anymore.
Otherwise, I have those games installed:
Age of Conan (free to play) - finally managed to leave the Inn I was stuck in, it's fun to visit again, but I don't intend to play actively.
EQII extended
Star Trek Online (free to play/trial)
Star Wars - KOTOR
Vanguard
Dawntide (beta)
Test Drive Unlimited 2
Need for Speed World
Dirt 2
Star Wars the Force Unleashed II
Assassin's Creed II
LOTR Conquest
Wolfenstein
Dragon Age II
I also had Warhammer when level 10 "twinks" were free, but since they removed that...

SWTOR: 50 Jedi Shadow (Tank), 50 Sith Marauder (Annihilation).
LOTRO: Lifetime account, playing very casually.
WoW: Both accounts canceled for now.
GW2: Future Warrior.

I did minecraft until I was doing it in my sleep. I actually felt like I wasn't sleeping because I kept digging, digging, digging... It was mentally disruptive to me more than any other game. Not sure why. I have Wow dreams but they don't dominate my thoughts like minecraft did. It was great fun while it lasted though

I've been playing Creeper World while getting my home LAN setup with a linux backup server and upgrading components to support the newer games. Fairly simple game, but entertaining.

Well that was fun. Watched hours of tutorials, got into the game, many sleepless nights. I don't think there is a more complex game out there. The programmer has really good ideas. I don't mind the graphics (or lack thereof) but the UI and controls bother me. I wish there were games like that with more polish to them.

There are a couple essentials for Dwarf Fortress, IMHO:
1. Dwarf Therapist. Great mod that gives you much better overview and control of jobs.
2. A tile / graphic mod. I like http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php

Just started playing Spiral Knights.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DJP3hepM-4
Loving it so far, hopefully I won't get bored of it in a week ><
It's F2P, with the option to buy stuff obviously. Requires Steam to play I believe though, sadly.
