Nickelodeon's AddictingGames Showdown Airs June 27

Someday, our children's children, while languishing in cube farms reminiscent of the human battery crops in The Matrix, will be allotted time to play a web game or two on company time. Until then, we'll do it anyway and hope the IT guys are cool about it. One site I like for such tomfoolery isAddictingGames.com. I can jump into a quick game of Hide the Farta in Sparta and air my grievances in a unique and scent-free manner. It's the mental equivalent of getting out of one's chair and stretching once an hour.

So go to AddictingGames.com and vote for your favorite games before 8pm ET/PT tomorrow and let your voice be heard. Tune in to Nickelodeon at the aforementioned time and see how your favorites fared. The categories and nominees are after the break, and worth checking out.
