Later next week, America celebrates Thanksgiving, a holiday laden with gluttony, family gathering, and lots of drinking. This, as you could imagine, is the favorite holiday for animal rights organization, PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. In their never-ending crusade to enlighten the world toward vegan living, they developed a flash game with eerie resemblance to our favorite culinary matriarch, Cooking Mama.

It’s an unfortunate truth, but your typical coffee break just isn’t long enough to satisfy your need to break out Madden or Warhammer. Luckily for us all, there are still ways to get your game fix before returning to the reality of your wage-slave life.
Here are a couple of my favorite 15-minute killers:
I’ll admit, I’m not much of a casual gamer. I don’t take the subway or bus, generally don’t have time during work to play Scrabulous (may it rest in peace) or Minesweeper (I’m a newspaper copy editor), and at my local coffee shop, I prefer tinkering with my iPhone rather than my DS or PSP.

If you’ve ever tried to watch a baseball or football game with someone who has a fantasy team, you might understand the devotion of fantasy sports players. To enlighten the rest of the world, Challenge Games has decided to reinvent the wheel, and create a brand new type of fantasy baseball, infinitely more accessible to those of us who don’t have hours to spare at the office to watch the waiver wire.
