I'm not usually on BSW unless I'm playing with people I know, which happens randomly, so it's hard to say when I'm on. It'd probably work best just to get in touch via IM or whatever is convenient for you. Though, after hearing that you played Carc every day for a year, I'm not sure I'd present much of a challenge -- I'm a total novice. =)
I'm actually glad to hear that you agree with me re: Pandemic. I always find it a little less fun than the other games I play. The cooperative aspect, while unusual and interesting, does detract massively from the individual player's experience in my opinion. I'm definitely looking forward to the expansion that will apparently allow one player to play as a bio-terrorist and try to covertly thwart the efforts of the team. That should add a more interesting dimension.
Power Grid is a fantastic game, but I've never played it with only two players and I can't imagine it'd be much fun that way. It definitely has the potential for some epic (and long-ass) games when you have a few guys to play with, though. I've heard a lot of good things about Settlers of Catan, but I don't actually know anything about it. I see it's on BSW, so maybe it's the next thing to try, along with Dominion which you seem to praise. =)
