Word of advice Pad, if you do decide to play an online game, you will be playing against people who have been playing video games their whole lives and take them very seriously. Consequently, some of them get very good at it, and it can get very frustrating for an absolute noob to play against. My suggestion would be to cut your teeth on a game that is not played online against other players.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
