Dellphi and I have played Minecraft while talking on the phone and it's a lot of fun.
The Ventrillo server thing is apparently pretty common to other gamers.
The advantage of Ventrillo over Skype (I'm told) is that in Skype one person has to be the linchpin of the conversation.
If they "hang up" the whole conversation is taken offline.
Ventrillo acts as a meeting room that anybody can enter and leave (I think?)
With 2 people it's a lot of fun, with 5 it would probably be bedlam - but I've never played multi-player games with voice communication before. I know people play it on their gaming consoles on those military adventure first person shooter games.
