I find Mario Party to be a pretty fun time killer.

If it's time I need to kill that could be interrupted at any given moment? Peggle. Otherwise World Of Warcraft.

Picture Telephone. Minecraft is also good.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

If I've just got a couple minutes, I usually breed Pokemon or fiddle with a random puzzle game. If I've got an extended period of time with nothing better to play, I'll download some F 2 P MMO.

Eletale Monsters. It's a lot of fun, and is a slow game(but I can speed it up), so it's just nice to have in the background.

iBubble Shooter, on my iPhone. I normally play this when I'm waiting for something, since I can turn it off really quickly (since it's an app) and it's also stupidly fun, even if only for a few minutes.

Angry Birds. It's a nice distraction for those waits in the hospital for treatments.

Traveling? Patapon. Or any SRPG that I have on hand

At home? Killing Floor.

If I'm parked in an uncomfortable waiting room chair and had the foresight to bring my DS along, either Etrian Odyssey 3 or Super Scribblenauts.

At home, if it's time to kill that is likely to be interrupted at any second (it usually is), I'll load up some mindless actiony-shooty-type game

If I need time to melt I boot up a Paradox Game or Total War game. They eat up time like... something that eats up a lot of time.

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.

I used to use Angry Birds to kill time when I out, but I did that so much it became boring.

If I'm at home I tend to jump onto Halo and play a few games of multiplayer if I have time to kill.

I have a podcast! I think that you should listen to it.

Monster Rancher games. If I've got nothing better to do, I can just boot up one of the three portable installments in the series and just spend a few minutes training a monster and/or doing a few battles. If I'm really bored, I might even just try passwords in the GBA games to see if I can revive anything with good stats.

Good old Plant Vs Zombies on my I Pod Touch.

At other times I'll usually be playing Team Fortress 2 or Lost Saga.
