Just in time for Flash Friday, Slate lists the best free online games. The first one they mention, The Tall Stump, has been on MeFi previously, but there's more—even an Infocom-style text-based game.

Shockwave Player has not yet been ported to run natively on the new Intel-based Macintosh computers and currently only runs in Rosetta emulation mode. To install and use Shockwave Player on an Intel-based Macintosh, you will need to run the browser in Rosetta emulation mode.

Uh. What.

I've played this one a few times, and they should have named it "You're Fucked No Matter What You Do!"

Blix rocks : >

i'm currently addicted to this--Gorillaz Tiles (from the band--simple and great for unwinding after tons of work)
