For those of you who are prone to such things (and who haven't already seen it on Kottke or Good Experience Games), I offer my heartfelt apologies for the sheer volume of time you're about to lose.
With that said, may I present to you: Desktop Tower Defense.
Click here to begin the madness. I'd suggest playing "Easy" mode and just figuring it out, but there's a Quick Start guide now (which wasn't there a few weeks ago when I got hooked) if you want to jump to the head of the class.
Jason Kottke calls it "heroin-like," and he's not lyin'.
If you get through the game on "Normal" or "Hard" mode, you can upload your score to a group - I've made a group under the name "procrastinet," so please upload and let me see how your addiction is progressing.
