RAGDOLL CANNON!
Good fun to be had, here, yo. Description: "A mixture of projectile and physics game, on Ragdoll Cannon you need to fire dolls (no kidding) away, with the objective of hitting the “Here” pad on each level. There are many obstacles along the way, and you need to to use your brain more than once to finish the game." Sweet cannon blast sound effect, as well.

Try Not to Go Crazy Over This One
I guess Cartoon Network wasn't satisfied with only being one of the better channels on cable. Adult Swim, their late-night block of mature themed programming just so happens to make some of the best flash games around.
Sure, Schizophrenzy is a rip-off of a Nintendo game released years ago, but it has one advantage... It's free. And it's funnier. Pilot Mr. John K. Facey, P.I., through a Frank Miller-esque city while popping anti-psych meds and mario-stomping figments of your imagination. Oh, and the city's major is the bad guy.

An Unusual Platformer
Karoshi Suicide Salaryman is an unusual platformer in that the object is not to maneuver the character safely through each level. It's just the opposite.
That's right, the Japanese "sarariman" has finally hit rock bottom as the company staggers. You need to find increasingly difficult methods in which to off yourself. Complete with MS Paint-style blood and a loveablely rigid protagonist ... or antagonist. I think.

Online Helicopter Flying Video Game Activity
You probably used more brain power in reading that unneccessarily punctilious title than you will flying a little helicopter through a neon green cavern. Welcome to "Helicopter Game." You click the mouse button to go up, or you don't to let it fall. Don't hit the walls or ... Kerrpow! C'est simple.

Four Second Firestorm
Four Second Firestorm makes even pacman look decaf. The idea couldn't be simpler: you have four seconds to play a hilariously ridiculous, often far-too-difficult-to-understand-how-to-play 'microgame.' You either win or lose, and then you play another. Over and over again.
For those of you who have played Warioware for the Nintendo Wii, you get the idea. Even if you're waiting in that tiny gap in which your boss brings over a stapler that works, that's time enough for at least six or seven of these things.

Back to What We Love: Pizza City
This 8-bit styled game seems like it should've been created a long, long time ago, and that you should already have fond memories about playing it in your uncle's basement after grappling for long hours with the DOS prompt. The hilarious commercial actually worked on me, which is unusual for this societal angst-filled college student. But anyway, check out the game itself too, ya know.
The concept is simple: deliver pizzas for $$dough$$, driving with your arrow keys, get secret side-missions, upgrade your vehicle, run over clowns + criminals + mimes, and generally fart around to the tunes of sorely missed NES chips. It's sweet. You can save your game, too.

Big Wave Dave: Legend of Surf
How about a midsummer internet game to remind you how much fun in the sun you could be having while sitting behind that stack of TPS reports?
This challenging, yet simplistic game is all about reaction time and beating the big wave. You only need to use the left and right arrows to steer Dave up and down (trying to stay in the middle of) the curl. You can chill and wait for the occasional speed boost, or take a flying leap out of the water to pull off some spins and grab a star or two. Just don't land backwards! The game holds a Tony Hawk-like appeal for hitting the sweet spot and landing smoothly. PLAY NOW!

Japanese “IQ Test” Will
Melt Your Brain
According to the guy who posted the Everybody has to cross the river brain-teaser game, it might be “an IQ test given to job applicants in Japan.” But I doubt it. If my formidable understanding of Japanese culture can be trusted, the game is probably a promotion for soy sauce or some sort of snack made from baby octopus eyeballs. At any rate it’s fun – in an infuriating kind of way. You try to get everyone across the river, but some people can't be left alone together, and only a few people can drive the raft. It took me forever to figure it out. PLAY NOW!

Fancy Pants Adventures
The controls and motion/physics on this game are positively awesome, and it’s the first “adventure” style flash game I've ever spent significant time on. It’s just awesome. You run around and jump all over and discover stuff. It's fun. I’m serious. PLAY.

Sandwich Shop
The tasty idea is to make sandwiches for customers as quickly as possible … or deal with their crabbiness. Make sure you hit your target money amount within the time limit. It’s a great introduction to the service industry. PLAY!
