Hurm... we don't appear to have a casual game thread, and frankly my productivity is getting suspiciously high. So here's my lame attempt at getting one kicked off and my opening bid is Kick About (as spotted on RockPaperShotgun)
Kick About is a 5-a-side browser based scoccer game, which is actually fun enough for me to play even though I hate the game IRL. It's got a quick match-maker system which gets you into a match good and quick, and a simple customisation system so you can get your team looking all pretty in no time. The game controls are a little tricky to use, but once you've got to grips with them its fast and dirty & has a highly abusable slide tackle function. Games last about 8 minutes, not too long and not too short, and has a good 'drop in, drop out' feel to it.
Downsides are that although it's got different pitches they all play the same and the CPU can be a bit thick, but it's nothing you'll hate. Plus sides are that it's got customisable characters / an XP system and takes no time to get started on.
If anyone is in there look for T_Bird_9000 :-)

Hearts of Iron disagrees with you.
Just casually startin' my helicopter up.

I kind of feel like my life is five minutes emptier.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
For humor's sake, sure, but for making a point that's the best video he could have used.
I'll back him up too.

How... how do you eject from a helicopter?
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
I dont like the word hardcore because it is so douchey.

Funny enough the helicopter in question is the only one that has an eject.
Also that one in Goldeneye. Remember that time Bond was captured and stuck in a helo with that girl and he had to escape? And he was all tied up and had to find a way out and hit the eject button? Yeah? Yeah that was pretty sweet.
Wait what the hell was this thread about?
The Last Guy Everywhere is pretty casual I guess.
*nods* always gives me wierd images when people go "oh I play hardcore FPS". I just expect to see penis launchers and boob grenades all over the place.
