You are correct - it is a fully standalone system.  Ingame messages
show up as a semi-transparent overlay.  This has the advantage of
"you do not need to be in a game to talk to people inside of
various=20 games."  ie, I can be at work at 4pm PST and talk to the
guy playing WoW (who's at home already since he's on the East
Coast.)

It has the disadvantage of letting you find out what you're missing
because you're still stuck at work... *grin*
