This has been a long time coming. I am happy to see the implementations of HTML5 technologies that are capable of delivering this kind of experience.

I look forward to trying this out with a few friends from college who were mildly addicted to simple games like Dwarf Fortress and Zelda. Any excuse for old school multiplayer gaming is a good one.
