What caused this re-emergence of Risk?

First, I have seen posts about Risk here every day for the past week or so (which I have basically ignored), and now my buddy send me this on AIM:

Don't you know the p**** boom is over? All the cool kids are playing RISK now. I predict that MONOPOLY will be the next cool thing to do.

Where does one go about playing this? Perhaps you can organize an OOT game?

I would like to play a game online. After all, I had my 15 minutes of fame from playing Monopoly. Still, occasionally I run into somebody saying: "Oh, you are that Monopoly guy [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]". Was surprised though to hear a guy on radio critizise my playing style a few months later, so I obviously have some leaks [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Where can this game be played online?

Happy Birthday Arnfinn. Drinking to excess tonight, in fine viking tradition, I hope?

Thanks Diebitter. We have quitted plundering British villages and raping British women (guess we are related [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) but we have kept the drinking part of the tradition [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Risk is lame. Somebody bring back Axis and Allies.
