Empty nest has set in again :( . What, if any, are your favorite games to entertain yourself on the computer? I have played mine until they are not fun.

I play solitaire (so obvious) and Googling people (it's amazing what you learn about people on the Internet).

Empty nest stinks, but it's better than being dead. I miss my child and watching her in all of her activities and just the simple act of her bouncing into the house every day and hearing what her day was like. I did that for 18.5 years - it's kind of hard to turn off that switch.

I like games where you've got to build a world or a city or an empire. Don't know how many hours of my life the various incarnations of Civilization and Railroad Tycoon have claimed, but it's a lot.

Do you have AOL? They have tons of free games. I just started playing Lingo and I like that one. I play Collapse, Bejewled, Word Whomp and a bunch of others. There's a site my kids go to all the time but we do get some annoying pop ups there. www.addictinggames.com Have fun!

I like Chuzzels - I don't know why exploding fuzzie balls with eyes is so satisfying to me. Can anyone give me any meaning to this?

I haven't read most of the replies, but are you looking for something with substance or the standard Bejeweled/Peggle time sinks?

Edit: I should really check dates on posts. Disregard

Wait! What are your suggestions? Right now I'm playing an old one called Cannon challenge on Future weapons from Discovery channel. I really like blowing sh!t up and pretending they are leaking oil rigs or BP execs. :D

Civilization 5 comes out for the PC on September 21, with a Mac version hopefully following a few months after that.

Best turn-based strategy game series evah!

BigFishGames.com is a great place. They have online games, PC games and games for Mac. The games aren't free but you can try them out for 1 hour then buy if you like it. After buying a few games the price goes down and sometimes the games are free.

I've gone there for years for computer games. My favorites are hidden object games. Here's a list of the genres:

Puzzle
Hidden Object
Time Management
Adventure
Match 3
Large File
Strategy
Marble Popper
Arcade & Action
Word
Mahjong
Card & Board
Brain Teaser
