Insanely addictive free online time wasting games?
Got any favorites? I have a few that I found this weekend but will wait for a few responses from others before I post to make sure you all don't think I'm working as an advertiser for any of these companies.

3. Nice!! I'm going to have some fun with this one.
Yeah, I like the engineering type of games or just "problem solver" type of games. Thanks!

2. This one's pretty good....
I've been on it for a month or so...

http://www.onlinegames.com/basketball/

Also, go to stumbleupon.com and check the box 'online games' on the upper right.

There are are some good ones in there.

Also this one for music mixing... not bad...

http://remixer.clubcreate.com/v1/scion/launch.html

and this one as well (not as good but more traditional instruments)....

http://www.jamstudio.com/Studio/index.htm

Oh and one more. This one's kind of weird and somewhat captivating....

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/18ugm0/balldroppings.com/js/

Good luck and happy wasting...

Cheers.

5. Ok, here are some of my finds from this weekend:
http://armorgames.com/ This site has a bunch of them. I only played a handful.

http://armorgames.com/play/4611/demolition-city-2 Demolition City 2 - This one is great. You place dynamite on different structures to destroy them and you have to get them to fall below a certain line.

http://armorgames.com/play/3260/magic-pen-2 Magic Pen 2 - Another one from that same site. You use crayons to draw shapes and hammers and stuff to get a ball from one thing to another. This is another engineering type game.

http://www.king.com/games/sponsored-games/red-ball-2/play/?language=en_US Red Ball 2 - This one was on Yahoo which started my Saturday of wasting the entire day away looking for these kinds of easy, time wasting, addictive games. You just get the red ball to collect all the flags. Some of the levels are pretty hard.

7. Are you on Facebook?
If so, go to "Mind Jolt Games" (an app) and play Christmas Crunch.

Oh yeah and Mafia Wars and Farmville are just as addicting.

11. There's always Kingdom of Loathing
It's a free browser-based RPG that started several years ago as a Progress Quest-like parody of RPG games, but has since morphed into an actual game, if a surreal and funny one.

13. The rabbit jumps the bells.
If you get the bird, it doubles your score. I'm up to 2.5 million on my high score.
Very, very addicting.

18. Someone once posted...
...a game where a frog eats bugs and says stuff like "come to papa." It was hilarious and totally addictive. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
