Time Waster of the Day: Orisinal, a boat load of great Flash games

I am a huge fan of WarioWare. Little, goofy, quickie games are great diversions for the old-timey gamer in me. And Orisinal is a great example of these. Not only does the site have a bunch of 'em, they are all quite novel in design. For example, "Pocketful of Stars" has you directing a little girl to jump up and catch stars— in her reflection. Many of these Flash-based games originated years ago, back when Flash was at version 4! Don't let their age fool you though, like a fine wine they have aged well.

This website is evil! All of the games are really addictive and most are of the style in which you earn more time by doing things right, so the more you win, the longer you must play! I once spent 8 hours at theis website before I was able to tear my vision away from the screen. Be warned!
