Ok, so I discovered a lot of these through the blog on meebo at the moment (thanks Elaine!) and thought I'd repost this here for those of you who aren't familiar with them.

Please feel free to post in and add your favourite time wasting internet games.

Vector TD possibly the most fun tower defence game on the Internet, prone to being a little predictable but still fun nonetheless.

Desktop TD is a tower defence game without any pre-built maze. The challenge is twofold because you need to place towers not only to destroy the invaders but to create a maze for them to get caught up in. Thanks to Maddingo for this one.

Conquer Club is the online version of the board game risk. I've lost countless hours of my life there and, should you decide to, you can join your fellow threadless conquer clubbers here.

Isketch is basically online pictionary, it's a heap of fun even if you're like me and can't draw using a touch pad.

Spin the Black Circle reminds me of those wooden marble labyrinth mazes, except this game has fiery torches, spikes, and spinning walls. Lots of fun!

Sprout, a hand-drawn game by Jeff Nusz, features a magical seed that travels the world by morphing between an apple tree, coconut, and dandelion. Very unique!

The Impossible Quiz is the second (and probably not final) impossible quiz that will delight riddle and puzzler lovers. Guaranteed to prompt a few groans and ooooh's!

Warbears showcases Polar Bears trying to solve missions around Bedtime City including rescuing gas platforms from attack and stopping bank robberies.

Tower Bloxx challenges you to build tall skyscrapers for your new city and to attract more residents by building straighter, taller skyscrapers.

Peggle is probably one of my all-time favorite online games just for its sheer silliness. If you like pinball, you'll love Peggle. Go Zen Ball!

Flash Empires it may be the part of me that always wanted to be a knight when I was a child (and that I never quite discarded growing up) but this little game is heaps of fun. Set up your army and your defences and protect your castle from the barbarian invaders.

Puzzle Pirates: Ok, so you do need to download a java applet to play this one and half of the puzzles are reminiscent of various pop cap games. Still puzzle pirates is wicked fun and you could probably waste a large portion of, say, your final year of university playing this game. Not that anyone did of course.

Nanaca Crash is an anime game the aim of which is to ride your bike into an unsuspecting plebeian and knock them as far as possible. That description doesn't do it any justice. Thanks to ISABOA for suggesting it.

The Kingdom of Loathing is one of the more humorous online RPGs I've had the pleasure to run into. Most of the areas an monsters are worth at least a brief chuckle and the turns/day structure means that you won't play it out in a single coffee and amphetamine fuelled weekend (not that you would of course). It's not the kind of game that you can spend an afternoon on but it is a great way to kill an hour here and there. Thanks to D3D for recommending it .

Yeah, when I first discovered that game I lost the better part of a day.

my screen capture shows me with a better score, but
I guess you lose points when you lose lives

So my high score puts 31 others ahead of me for highest score
on the Switchback maze/path

A totally fun & wacky game with hardly any strategy is :

The Flight of the Hamster

You click your mouse to send the hamster in the air
and then you click again when he falls in front of
the launcher in order to trigger the launcher to
propel your hamster upward. Once in the air
you click quickly on the mouse to get your
hamster to flap his arms to gain a bit of
flight. The main thing that will propel
your hamster or keep it airborne is to
run into things in the sky (rockets,
bouncy balls, skateboards, etc ).

by the way the music in the background is "Flight of the Valkyrie"

classic light cycle game of TRON
( use arrow keys to make cycle go up, down, left, and right )

Cat with a Bow
( use mouse : click to pull back arrow, move mouse while button is held down to aim your shot, release button to fire arrow )

neave.com
8 classic games : Asteroids, Frogger, Snake, Simon, space invaders, N-blox, and Hexxagon

One of my favorite games : Prachka
(use the arrow keys to direct the pulsating square to the red square, but realize it helps to plan way ahead before making a move )

Oh, wow.

Just played Nanaca crash, couldn't manage to crack 3ks but heaps of fun - that game is wild.

noodlezoop on Feb 19 '08 at 2:55am
hey, you should add the "How Well Do You Know Your World" game that they're playing over in helo's blog here. It's so educational you can get away with playing it at work sometimes.
Neon Samurai
Neon Samurai on Feb 19 '08 at 2:57am
Yeah, I got 312k on that last night but I'm still well off the money.

What are you doing up kitten?
noodlezoop

Ah, I can never get to level 11 myself.

Couldn't sleep, so I gave up and I'm doing laundry.

Oh, I'm full of 'em. Full of something, anyway. What are you doooooooing? Is it fun? Can I try?

Neon Samurai on Feb 19 '08 at 3:14am
Not up to a lot, conflicts continue at work so I'm dusting off my resume and getting ready to apply for some jobs.
noodlezoop
noodlezoop on Feb 19 '08 at 3:19am
Ew. Sorry. Well, if you want me to distract you more actively you know how to make that happen.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in giving me a copy to shop to my people? I can't promise that anything would come of it, but it couldn't hurt.
Neon Samurai
Neon Samurai on Feb 19 '08 at 3:24am
I'm not sure that my skills would necessarily be useful to a bunch of people who "do stuff".

Appreciate the offer but I imagine all the visa/passport hurdle would be more trouble for your employers than I would be worth.

Neon Samurai
Neon Samurai on Feb 19 '08 at 5:49am
I had one at 3.8k and one at 3.6 but most of them never came close.

nanaca-crash is awesome. i played that for days. and the one where you club penguins for distance, whatever that was called.

lemonalle on Feb 19 '08 at 8:12am
Untangle -- I find this game very soothing for some reason

EatPoopUCat (a.k.a. the sentence game) -- Not really a game, but it's fun and you get to make artworx.

Word Sandwich -- My current favorite game/addiction/life-consuming thing

doing something pointless isn't always fun
having fun is never pointless
fun=f
pointless=p

3f = 4 x p6{3 + i x 7}
therefore 28i = 7f or 4i = f
meaning (i) is 4 times better than f

Bloons is hands down the best game ever. There are 3 of them now. They get progressively harder

Play some bloons now

Ellsswhere: does i = sex? because I find that kind of fun.
