Ok, so I'm gonna post about two games I've been playing recently. One of which I sorta help... try... to work on and bug fix and cheer the creator on. The other one is just a neat game I found. Anyhow they are science fiction/space based and are web games that you just play in the browser. Both are... sorta like an RPG, an empire RPG where you control your little space empire and build ships and research and stuff.
First: SR2
Found At: http://www.markdelano.com/sr2
Basically you just start with a little solar system and research and amass energy and research points till you can get out of isolation, then you capture solar systems, build ships, wage wars, stuff like that. It just reset a few days ago so you won't be too far behind the leaders.
Second: Ogame
Found at http://www.ogame.org
This game has the same premise as SR2, to build ships and research and make your empire better but it feels different. You start out with a single planet here, and build buildings on the planet to gain more resources, Eventually you research a colony ship and go capture other planets. Anyhow you research and do things like in SR2, wage war, but it's individual planet based, where as SR2 is Solar System based.
Anyhow they are both fun and I play them every day for a bit so if you want something to waste a few minutes every day, you can just login see how you are doing, make a few tweaks and check it again the next day. I'm also posting to try to get a few more people in SR2, since we had it down working on bug fixes, very few of the old players know it is back up and running so the servers a bit sparse and we always want new people playing... lol

Please note, SR2 has very little bugs in it. Also, the designer of the game is rather good at fixing the bugs when he finds them or is alerted of them. Sr2 is a fun game and I am looking forward to a lot of you guys coming to play it.

I got into that about two months ago, been hooked ever since. Nice game to play about 15 minutes every day.
P.S. I am located in universe 10, if anyone wants to join our clan you are more than welcome.

Hmm, havn't tried those.
Something I've come across which is good for wasting a few minutes in a day for the politically-minded is NationStates. You basically make your own country, and dictate it's politics.
There's a forum for doing stuff not covered by the game (Going to war, trade embargos, etc), but it's all role playing and nerdy...
