Best online time wasters to play at work

The Game Room

I find there are certain desirable qualities in games/time wasters to play while at work. Helpful qualities include:
[ul]
[li]Not dependent upon sound[/li][li]Playable in short bursts[/li][li]Don’t involve a lot of mouse clicking[/li][li]Easily put aside or paused[/li][li]Can be played all day, or just once in a while[/li][li]No downloads necessary[/li][/ul]
A game need not contain all of the above qualities, but they are helpful. For example: Bejeweled Blitz involves a lot of clicking, but is contained in short, 60 second bursts and can be easily abandoned if you are drawing too much attention to yourself.

My all-time favorite work time-wasters are:
[ul]
[li]Solipskier [/li][li]Effing Hail[/li][li]Peggle [/li][li]Plants vs Zombies [/li][li]Kingdom of Loathing [/li][li]Improbable Island [/li][/ul]

My question to all of you: what are your favorite work time wasters?

The only one I can add is pya!

But I must thank you for wasting oodles of my time with your short list. :slight_smile:

This is a good word-builder and you can turn the bubble sound off.

Adventure Quest

Second Sporcle. Can almost look like actual work from a distance.

Gemcraft
GemCraft Chapter Zero (sequel to GemCraft)

Tower based defense games, but they were addictive as hell for me. Meets the light-clicking requirement.

Oh hells yeah, I remember Gem Craft! Thanks for reminding me. :slight_smile: I’ll check out those other ones too.

Some other thread got me started with Crush the Castle 2 and its earlier incarnations, Crush the Castle and Crush the Castle Players Pack.
