I have been looking around at various stores and the internet and trying to find some new board games to play with my friends. I really enjoy Mwahahaha, Monsters Menace America, Marvel Heroes, and a couple of other board games, does anyone have any good suggestions about some good fun boardgames to pick up?

It kicks many asses.
Does he mean 'table top' as in just board games, or the catch-all use of 'table top' for all board, war, and roleplaying games?
Personally I never heard tabletop used for RPGs until just a few years ago online, but maybe that's me.
New D&D relies heavily on a grid map anyway as well.
Okay okay, try Axis and Allies, it is a classic.
Do you wanna feel SO AWESOME?
PLAY EXALTED.
Awesome game for players who need GRATUITOUS AMOUNT OF AWESOME.
Fill up a character sheet and be a SOLAR. Solar Hero Style, you'll punch people so far they'll be asking for directions TO FAIR FOLK.
ANOTHER WYLD HUNT! Because you have just WASTED THE LAST ONE.
What’s that? You want RAGE? Well how about LUNARS? They kill people. WITH THEIR BEAR HANDS. Combat (aaahhhhhh!). They're good at it. Get Relentless Lunar Fury, and you'll be unstoppable. UNBEARABLE. These aren’t your mentor’s puns, these are essence puns. MOTONIC PUNS.
Magitech, Genesis, Fire, Air, Wood, Earth, Water, more craft skills than YOUR CHARSHEET HAS ROOM FOR. You’ll craft so much, Unconquered Sun will be like, "Sloooooowwww dooowwwwnn." And you’ll be like, "Fuck you!" and KICK him in the face with your WARSTRIDER BOOTS.
You’ll have so much essence, essence (aaaahhhhh!) just stunting all the time. Power stunting, power figthing, power socialing, power planning, power casting, power questing, power summoning DEMONS. You’ll have so many DEMONS. 400 demons.
Get lots and lots of backgrounds and you'll have HUGE PEOPLE. Make your people fight MASS COMBAT. They’ll fight as hard as THE REALM. People will watch them figthing and think they’re THE REALM. They’ll fight as well as THE REALM. in a battle against THE REALM. and it’ll be a tie, and they’ll get deported back to THE BLESSED ISLE.
Hey, go with the sure thing. Don’t gamble on your roleplaying (botched!). Try EXALTED, the game that will make you (aaahhh!) awesome (aaahhh!)
Settlers of Catan is awesome, but you knew that.
Diplomacy. They released a new edition.
Re: Exalted - It's not THAT great, calm down. It just has way too much background notes and manga-style art. The system isn't too bad, for White Wolf. If you've read any mythology at all, you can make up your own Exalted style setting without having to memorize some book. That's all with Exalted to avoid thread derailing. Although I suspect you were being jokey.
Arkham Horror is an awesome board game. I like Catan for simplicity, and Arkham Horror for complexity. My two favorite board games.
I think I remember hearing A Game of Thrones is Risk-y, which can be a good or bad thing depending on the group. Catan is an awesome game if you're into the whole resource management thing. I myself am extremely fond of Catan, a lot of it depends on the group though. I gotta say I don't see one of my old groups getting into Catan and such, but we played the hell out of Apples to Apples.
I lold.
True though, time constraints can be something to consider. I think Twilight is a great game, but I really just don't have the time to play it that often, and as cool and deep as it is, 10+ hours is easy to lose to that monstrosity. Arkham Horror is a little better time-wise, and super fun, but the whole co-op thing is different.

Try looking around before you post. There's usually a thread related to or dealing directly with what you want to know.
Reading the Rules post is always a good idea as well.
The big question is:
Pyg, are you talking Twilight Imperium, or are you talking sparking vampires?
