If your boss sends you a link to an online game, does that mean you can play it instead of working?

Today on Another Castle, more fun things to do when you really should be working!
TypeRacer - Race your cab against other players by typing phrases faster than the other players. I found this in my inbox this morning, courtesy of the person who signs my paycheck. Does that give me free license to play it all day instead of working?
Desktop Tower Defense - Imagine that you are innocently working when suddenly your desk is invaded by a swarm of tiny creatures, presumably bent on world domination! You must destroy them by positioning equally tiny defensive structures.
Portal: The Flash Version - A Flash clone of the popular Portal game. Maybe not as great as the real thing, but nifty if you need a fix.
The World’s Hardest Game - For those sadists among you out there. You’re a red square. Avoid the blue dots. Reach the green beacon.
Open Doors - The game where you… open doors. But there’s a catch. Some doors only open certain directions. Some close behind you. How will you ever escape?!
Falling Bush - It’s not really a “game”, to be honest, but it’s still fun. Bush falls down a bottomless pit. If he gets stuck, give him a tug and let him fall some more. Swing him around. Smack him into things. Bush doesn’t mind.
50 States - How well do you really know your state geography?

TypeRacer is amazingly fun. Except when people start exploiting the fact that the quotes are repeated, getting 500+ wpm… Also…it’s stupid that they have one space after a period and not two. Screws me up all the time.

Ha… I used to love the Impossible Quizzes. I’d sort of forgotten about them.

I’m rather fond of the Impossible Quizzes. Thinking outside the box is such a pain in the ass.
