The unnofficial "Great Games on the Web" thread...

I'm sure going to hate:

a) myself for reading this thread and adding to my general lateness in getting work done, and
b) helping to spread the procrastination to all of the innocents reading this

Desktop Tower Defense

There was a thread like this already. I can't find it. but there was. linking to great flash/java games.

Yeah, I remember starting a thread dedicated to free web games, but like most pre-revamp threads, it isn't coming up in the search.

Desktop Tower Defense remains an obsession for me. 10K mode is the bane of my existence.

Has anybody checked out this place? They have a lot of interesting-looking stuff, but I haven't actually tried any of it yet. I'm trying to find some evidence that it's a trustworthy site before I start up. I don't want my hard drive getting eaten because I had to play Build-a-Lot.

Adventure Quest kept me from getting any work done for a couple of weeks, but it got pretty repetitive. I'd like to find something like it that's a little less dull.

I've killed several days of my life over the past few years playing the games at Orisinal.

My favorite is still Helicopter Game.

Blame me later...

I hate that site in the OP for perpetuating the obscene use of 'addicting' as an adjective.

As for web games, how about this old chestnut:

Very simple game but surprisingly hard to quit playing and I just love the game's art style and music.
