Online games, brainteasers and other time wasters

[freebird5825]

There was a thread floating around here somewhere, sometime ago about things to do online to challenge the brain or just plain waste time.
I'm tired of Mahjongg Dimensions and Sumatra, so this is my new time waster.

I posted this on the thread, "What have you read recently." It was fun for a while until I figured it out and got the secret message from Dan Brown. It was good for about a day, playing with it on and off.

I was the last on my block to read "The Da Vinci Code." Started the new one Tuesday, "The Lost Symbol" but keep finding distractions. Anyone else playing the game? :

Windows Solitaire-- the XP version.

Hey, it's not easy to memorize the card sequence of the draw deck. And [-]if[/-] when I get bored with that I can try a version of Hoyle's blackjack.

If you're ok depositing in the $25 range you could play microstakes poker at Poker Stars (open to US residents).

You play for tokens, but have a chance at real money whenever you get a spin.
I usually play high stakes poker. It's fun playing against real people and you can chat on the side with them during the game.

I downloaded a W95 version of Double Freecell (2 decks) a long time ago. Still playing it on Vista, never liked the upgraded versions as much.

Also - Circle the Cat ~ Grandma Faith's. Once you get it figured out it's not as much fun, but it had me going for quite a while. All you cat owners should appreciate this one.

I try to avoid computer games for the most part. I'm aware of my addictive personality, and already spend too much time on this devil machine.

For Mechanical Engineers and Wannabees

I had a lot of fun with this game on a recent trip using DW's IPad. You build bridges using wood, steel, cables and concrete over various rivers. Each bridge has a unique material list, anchoring points and a budget. The program does a real time stress analysis of the bridge (with colored elements) as cars or trucks roll over it including a simulation of its collapse if you screwed up.

When I was in college, I would have given my left, uh, arm for a program this sophisticated.
