For me,
For a day.
from 7:00 till 19:00, due to maintenance to the network.
This will also knock out our phone line and cable tv (same company)

So what should I do on this last day with internet?
Before you mention porn, I may or may not have that covered.

And more importantly, what shall I do tomorrow, when all contact to the outside world will be taken from me.

Yes, I could still go outside, but it's warm and active, it scares me.

All silliness aside, what would you do if you had no internet, phone or tv for a day.
... oh, and for some totally unexplored reason, your consoles don't work either.

I'd suicide.
Nah, kidding, I lived at a hospital with almost zero ways of entertainment for two months.
Maybe i'll play guitar.
Maybe i'll play guitar and actually remember to amplify it, rocking out in all my glory and socks&underpants.
Or, if all else fails, iPod.

Read some books, watch some dvd's, go for a walk (if the weather is good), clean my apartment (it is due time) go on the internet through my smartphone.
There are plenty of things you can do without internet. The worst about a disruption of it (that is not self-planned/inflicted, such as holliday) is the uncertainty about when it is working again I think.

I'd party real hard.

Seriously, go back to the oldest forms of entertainment. Get a Beatles album out and play it on the record player, go to the super-market and get some beer and other stuff, and kick back and party down!

Play one of your favourite single player games, or read a good book.

I do have a plasic bag full of useless decks, I might actually try and make a proper one.
Though I'd probably just look up some cookie-cutter decks onlin- ooohh...

Good idea, good idea. I still have to master a few song.... Okay, okay, I admit, I can only play one or two!

Strangely compelling.

Read some books
Good suggestion, though I fear I'm in need to order some new ones, I know, I'll just hop onto www.bol.co-ooohh... shit.

watch some dvd's
I got some DVD's I haven't watched yet. Heard District 9 was good, friend nearly killed me for owning it but never watching it.
go for a walk (if the weather is good)
Outside?! In the open?! I might get hurt!
I got a dog, so walking is already part of my daily routine.
clean my apartment (it is due time)
Do it yourself, you lazy bum.

Yippy Kay Yay!
It IS a fryday, after all.

It might not be the Beatles, more of a Stones kinda guy, but there will be some music in my day, tomorrow.

Keep up the ideas people, I'm sad and desperate.
And also very much kidding on how serious this is.

Gasp! They still make those?! Are they any good?

OT: Like they said, go play by yourself, you don't need us here to tell you how much you suck or how awesome you are when you get that kill or get killed (summing up the online gaming community, not actually saying this about you, I don't know you therefore I can't judge you...... yet.) or go outside, I'm sure it's a beautiful day out where ever you are.

Not without internet you wouldn't!
How else can you stream videos and watch pictures?

If I were in your position I would write. Narrative, Discursive, Expository, or just record my thoughts. I have my moleskine notebook and a pen, several half baked writing projects and records of my life's events to finish. Twould keep me entertained for quite a long time.
When I get bored of that, draw. I'm pretty shit at drawing but it's fun anyway.

Otherwise... Revert yourself. Be a kid again. Pick up a tube of toilet roll, put a bucket on your head and be some sort of space pirate for the day.

Also, I noticed you own district 9 but haven't watched it. You have until 1900 hours tomorrow to remedy this. That is when the trained assassin's arrive at your door.

play single player video games, or PnP RPGs. Multiplayer is for idiots anyway. Waste a day trying to get through baldurs gate or play the classic might and magic series. Or go to a bookstore and buy a book.

There is this thing called the outside world, you should try it sometime.
I heard it's full of hostile NPC's that cheat and insta-kill you.
I think I need to grind a few more levels before I take on that challenge.
How's the loot?

What would I do on a day off without the internet? Hmm...

Something like house/yard work, followed by a trip to the golf/driving range, then chill in the garden with a decent book, capped off with a visit to the pub in the evening.

Well that was easy.

When I moved house back in 2009, it took a week for my ISP hook up the internet for my new phone number/address. It took four of those seven days for the cable company to hook up the TV, so I didn't even have free to air (reception is really shit in my area, which is 75% of the reason I even pay for cable TV when I could just torrent the shows I want to watch).

I played a lot of offline videogames and watched a lot of DVDs.

We had a pretty bad flood this weekend, didn't have internet for about 2 days, plus a day earlier due to some other problems. I watched movies and played a few of my games that didn't need internet. It sucks that so many singleplayer games are rendered useless without it, my mass effect 2 and New Vegas saves were inaccessible. :/
Our power also died for a night, but luckily it was up the next morning so not much damage.
