I’m sick, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, and I’m bored halfway to hell. I rigged up my old Amiga this morning but can’t get the sound to work and my only joystick is crap. In short, I need online games. If they involve killing lots and lots of enemies, that’s a bonus. Hit me.

[Kongregate](http://www.kongregate.com) should be able to keep you occupied for quite a while.

My personal favourites are Protector and (for some reason) Sonny. Both involve killing pixels 🙂

> I hate this game. I love this game. It sucks so much time out of my day! Maybe that’s what keeps it alive. Maybe it feeds vampirically on productivity. Perhaps if I feed it fresh victims… yes… I can’t read any of the stuff on the site, so I call it...

Have you played [Bloxorz](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/bloxorz) yet? If not, I highly recommend it.

[Boomshine](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/boomshine) is also nice.
