Since the original Unreal Tournament still seems to have active games, I'll probably play that a bit.  I'll probably check on Xonotic sometimes too.  I might also buy a modern version of Quake 3 Arena (I saw it on Steam for $14.99).

I also think it would be fun to join paulie420's Doom meetup game on the first Saturday of the month.
