Timewasters

[nate]

OK, aside from this (http://www.redszone.com/) timewaster, what are your favorites?

Personally, I can't stop playing this (http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/Game.asp) game. If anyone else gets hooked and you qualify for a leaderboard score, post it to the "Redszone" group.

Hmm...let me see...a time waster, something I'd do probably at work. Maybe on my computer.....nope, can't think of one!

I've had a lot more time on my hands the last 9 months, so I've had more time to waste as well. Mostly have spent a lot of time on myspace apps such as Mobsters and Mafia Wars which I am still currently playing albeit not nearly as often. I am also currently enjoying a little Mahjong Titans now and then. For a while I had an affinity for Bejeweled 2 and Word Whomp. Also occassionally I'll get in a game of chess, spades, poker, euchre, hearts, freecell or solitaire.

This, (http://www.netives.com/Games/Marbles/Play.shtml) which I first found through a link in an evil post on this board long ago and still has me in its grip.

I just scored 628 a minute ago.

For me it is fantasy sports that wastes my time. I spend way too much time reading about NBA benchwarmers and proposing trades to people in my leagues.

Fantasy baseball is getting ready to start. I can't wait!

This kept me entertained for a little while: Color Infection 2 (http://tapirgames.com/Games/ColorInfection2).

I like puzzle/strategy games that make me think. Samorost (http://amanita-design.net/samorost-1/) is awesome. My favorite time waster of all time though is this: Powder Game (http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust/)

If you like Samorost, Quest for The Rest (http://hollywoodrecords.go.com/polyphonicspree/questfortherest/) is made by the same people and promotes the music of The Polyphonic Spree. It's pretty fun, but short.

I've played those. Very cool stuff. I'd love to do a music project for something like that.

The greatest internet game I have ever played is Heli Attack 2 (http://www.miniclip.com/games/heli-attack-2/en/)...

[chicoruiz]

I'm often found wasting time playing "Pseudobabble", an online multiplayer word game.

That desktop defender game is killing me Nate... And it's all your fault! :D

I know! It's digital crack!

I know! It's digital crack!

this game has ruined my life. i think i need to join a support group or check myself in to a drug rehab clinic or something.

[thatcoolguy_22]

desktop defender is solid but too easy. funnel everything through a gauntlet of weak stations and set up heavy artillery where it can fire on multiple lines you created.

This game (http://www.towerdefence.net/games-200-Garden_Inventor.php) is tricky :)

[OSUmed2010]

how do you kill the dark creeps on desktop defender? (yes, i'm no addicted)

You have to have upgraded towers. Regular towers don't hurt them.

www.miniclip.com and my google reader are my favorites.

Does anybody else click "random article" repeatedly at Wikipedia?

[camisadelgolf]

My biggest time-waster is definitely GoalLineBlitz. It's a football MMORPG, and I have a blast with it. I suggest everyone try it out for a week or two. I know a couple others here play it as well.

Absolutely...I enjoy seeing how many times I can click it before the subject is something I recognize...it takes awhile!

Here's (http://www.casualcollective.com/games/DesktopTD) an updated version of DTD.

I didn't know there was such a thing. You just made my day.

Occasionally, I'll do that. For the most part, I can just waste half a day in the WikiPedia following the links within articles. I'm hopeless. :(
