Best timewasting game?

[Bisjac]

any game that being played, does not extend your real life.

a round of minesweeper takes about 2 days off my life. highly recommended.

I find that was uncalled for.

I'm on the internet, that means I have to put on my tux and be the nicest person around.

1You're an idiot

2Just because somebody doesn't enjoy punching trees, Making a workbench, Making a tool and then dying doesn't mean they have "LOW IMAGINATION".

3And stop acting like Minecraft players are some sort of untouchable godly master race that rule everything and have the right to do whatever they want.

1-Lol, call me what you want...,

2-There is creative and SMP, along with Single Player. Obviously you don't own minecraft considering you refer to players as "Minecraft players", so let me give you a little synopsis,

Yes, you chop wood. It's not that hard, don't make it like it's some huge boring thing. Make a workbench? Whoa! Click several times!
Sure, you make tools to do things more productive, but dying? Haha. Not everyone dies. Take Oasis for example.

3-Who is acting like this? Surely not me. I just don't see how anyone can call a game that isn't finished, "boring". I mean, Notch comes out with updates for them. Not as fast as he used to, but he still does. Also, damn straight about the "no imagination" part. If anyone did, they would see where I'm coming from. You can build massive things that are cool, you can use redstone to make some badass wiring, and you can have fun with friends, doing all of the above.

I'm not the only person who thinks this, either. This has been discussed in previous posts where I went on about how someone can call it "boring".

I'm not forcing anyone to agree with me, nor am I holding a gun to your head saying "Like minecraft". I'm simply providing my point. Thank you all.

postal 2 is great for wasting time, but it's probably not worth the money.

He doesn't like the game, therefore it is boring to him. Not everyone shares your opinion. forget off.

[Oasis]

You're an idiot.So are you.

Haha, not creative.

Urbandead
In death, the city stirs. Its borders still locked down after a sudden government quarantine four years ago, Malton's trapped civilians make their way through the derelict buildings, surviving the changing seasons to rebuild their fragmented society from the rubble upwards. Military cleanup squads patrol the empty streets, stationed in the city for the long haul, while embedded scientific groups continue the experiments that brought them here.

And the dead rise up and thrive, trailing through the ruined streets of the city, milling between buildings and clawing through makeshift barricades and diversions, reclaiming the city as their own.

Urban Dead is a free-to-play browser-based multi-player game where you play the survivor or victim of a zombie outbreak in a quarantined city centre, alongside tens of thousands of others.

Tremulous

Infos
Tremulous is a first person shooter featuring two opposing teams, humans and aliens. Both teams are able to build structures such as spawn points, which are vital to their victory.
The goal of Tremulous is to eliminate the opposing team and all of their spawn points.
Each team in Tremulous differs fundamentally from the other. The aliens are class based, with two classes initially available: the alien team’s builder, known as the Granger, and the Dretch, the weakest offensive alien. The aliens are awarded frags for killing their foes which may be used to evolve into stronger classes, capable of greater and more varied maneuvers. In contrast the human team is upgrade based, receiving credits for kills that may be exchanged at an Armoury structure for new weapons, armour and equipment. Two such upgrades are available for free: a rifle and a construction kit, used for building structures.
During a game of Tremulous, each team occupies one of three stages of development. These stages are reached by accruing more than a specific total number of kills by the whole team. Each new stage unlocks new classes, upgrades and buildable structures. If one team reaches a stage significantly earlier than the other team it stands a better chance of defeating the opposing team.
A list of free steam games can also be found here.
