Small games, big time.

[Branbeggr]

Last week I found myself lying in bed with my laptop, playing Mahjongg two hours past bedtime. A small game bundled with my OS ruined my work efficiency the next day. I've also missed my bus several times after playing too much Bejeweled on my cell phone..

Now, to redeem myself I ask you, my fellow gamers: Are there any small games that really touch your tip? I find myself in a peculiar situation where I'm not sure whether to pity myself or find console in the fact that i'm easily entertained to the level of silliness. So please, share your input and keep me poor brain from overheating.

I've been known to withdraw into my own little world... a world of just me and solitaire.

plants versus zombies made me fail half of my midsemester university exams. it was horrible. horrible, horrible awesomeness.

ohhhhh Tetris...

And a Browser game called Defend your Castle.

You defend your castle by picking up the invaders and Dropping them from great heights.

Its not only fun buy satisfies my dark and somewhat twisted sense of Humor.

Minesweeper I spent so long playing that, I still occasionally as a matter of fact.

I dont need video games to be late and absent minded, I do that all the time.

Plants Vs. Zombies.
When you finish the adventure mode, you're gonna wanna make it to at least 100 flags on endless.
That game just gets you hooked.

I hate Bejeweled, but once I get playing it... time speeds up, and I manage to waste amazing amounts of time on it. Fabutzee on Facebook, Tetris (GOD, I love Tetris...), Mahjong if I come across it, this Bubble Spinner thing on Mindjolt...
...pretty, colourful, moving objects... @ _ @

SkiFree!

All because of this guy

OH MY GOD, I forgot that existed!! If you hadn't posted that picture, I wouldn't even have known what you were talking about. Man.... SkiFree.... shit. I feel old. Here, enjoy this: http://xkcd.com/667/

Peggle.

I somehow always spend more time playing it than I intend to... I logged another three hours yesterday, and only stopped because my cat jumped up and sat in front of the screen (blocking my view -- she was overdue to be fed for an hour).

At other occasions it caused me to be late for matters like doctor's appointments and picking up people from the station.

I just recently became addicted to Uno. I bought it for my phone so I can play 24/7. I LOVE Uno!

I'm honestly having a hard time finding a simpler kind of game that ate up my time. Most likely because that would've been when I was much younger and frequented Newgrounds and such.

Right now? Online scrabble gets at me, haha. ... Back then however, probably Bejeweled.

...

Scratch that. I just recalled almost failing projects back in highschool because I'd sit there playing online pool all class. Bahaha.

My mother plays bubbletown ALOT. She will loose track of the hourse trying to get to level 12 for the thousandth time.

Well, Geometry Wars is great. It's simple, but works really well, and can keep you going, being excited all the way.

Dark Void Zero. freaking hard but addictive.

The only similar experience I've had is when I've had REALLY deep thoughts. I've ended up many stations beyond my bus stop.

... Does that count?

Why yes, yes it does... but only if you want to insult yourself. Mindgames are fine, but since it's all about small games you'd have to have a small mind.

Or then I'm just making things up.
