Well have I got a site for you.

Kongregate is a huge, community-driven website full of flash games. There are 1000’s of games on this site. Some of them are terrible, some of them are awesome.

What’s cool about this site is that a lot of times it’s just amateur game-makers putting their games out there for people to comment on and sometimes they come up with some beautiful, intricate ideas. There are also plenty of more professionally done games as well.

Here are some of my favorite games on the site:

Gemcraft

This is a fun tower defense game that can get really addictive. Combine “gems” as your weapons to stop the onslaught of “creeps” that are attacking your tower. Fun and surprisingly intricate. There is also a sequel (Well, technically a prequel).

Music Catch 2

Music Catch 2 is such a pretty game that it is almost soothing. The idea is that you catch the notes as they fall from the sky, building your score. Catch the yellow ones and your catcher grows in size; catch the red ones and it gets smaller. If you can find a flashing one then all the notes come to you. I could play this game for hours and not get bored. Very elegant.

Hedgehog Launch

The hedgehogs have gotten together and decided that it’s time they had their own space program and you are the lucky varmit they’ve chosen as their guinea pig (or hog, as it were). Launch yourself, collect coins from the air so that you can buy upgrades and find your way to space. The best I’ve been able to do is get to space in 4 days, though I’m told 3 days is possible.

These are just a few. Have fun and I apologize in advance for your future lack of productivity.
