At first, the results have been published as promised on May, 1st. Then, on May, 6th, the results were withdrawn with the web site claiming to experience "Technical difficulties". Today (May, 13th), it is declared that the results are invalid due to an algorithm glitch, the computer program has been fixed and the lottery will be re-run. The final results are expected to be published in July, 15th.

My wife is also a CS major so she's computer literate enough. She does not like strategy games, MMORG or any other role-playing game.

Apart from "Find the Sausage" jokes, we need quality gaming advice, preferably games which we can play with a single laptop connected to a single large screen, with two gamepads, a console-like experience.

What are your suggestions?"
