When your Internet is down

[Cilliandrew]

Eh, i usually take that as a sign that i need to watch my back log of DVR'd tv shows.

 

[The Last Nomad]

I draw. And i draw alot.

For some reason, I tend to draw while im at my computer, listenin to msic and whatever, unless its art homework, then I do it whenever I can.

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

Read. Write with a pen & paper. Play a tabletop RPG, card game or board game. The list goes on.

 

[The Last Nomad]

I only play single player games on the PC and most of them I don't get around to finishing so I always have something to do.

Me too, for some reason I just never finish PC games... The only one i ever completed was DOOM II i think, maybe Hexen too.
I dunno why that is, I always finish Playsation Games, unless their really bad, but never PC games, no idea why... i've got some good ones alright...

 

[TelHybrid]

I invite some friends over, ask one of them to bring their 360, and have 2 360's running Halo 3 and system link, 4 people on each.

Good times.

 

[Zeraki]

I dust off my Diablo II discs and relive the memories. Normally I would play some old SNES games, but since my dog ate the A/V cables for the system... not so much. Or I go out with friends.

 

[solarsenshi]

I was without internet for about a month when I moved into my new place ^^; so I basically played sims 2 and finally found the chance to relax on my couch and watch tv again (without being on the computer at the same time!)

 

[Ophiuchus]

It doesn't affect me in terms of gaming because I don't play online. So... I guess I'd play more games to make up for not being able to kill time by web browsing.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

I read, mostly.

 

[SantoUno]

If it goes I just try to work on homework, without the internet I would get everything done faster. Or I'll play some games, listen to music, or play guitar.

As soon as it returns, I quickly get on here and on myspace.

 

[Syndron]

Try everything to fix it. Usually involves restarting the router many times over until the internet comes back. My internet seems to like just shutting off for an hour or so lately. It's been driving me crazy! usually when this happens i go play dragon age and when the internet comes back I'll go play MW2.

 

[C0RV4L0U5]

i do the same desktop crawl then i usually end up playing solitare or minesweeper for some wierd reason, they are actualy quiet addicting somehow.

 

[Enzeru92]

I do things i never really do like venture outside jk.....
I usually play any old games for nostalgic purposes

 

[Rock 'n' Soul]

The first and only thing I do is pick up some old games I haven't played in a while. Last week I had that same problem, and I reluctantly returned to "Pharaoh". Then, last night, while procrastinating from writing a paper, I created a character on "The Sims 3".

 

[Woodsey]

I do homework, seriously though the internet is such a distraction for me. Last time I lost the internet I got at least 20 pages of work done. In less than two hours.

I hear that. I always ending looking at tits when I'm supposed to be writing about Vietnam.

you were suprisingly the first person to mention tits...
I figured thats what many people would have looked up the first time they got their internet back after a long spell of internetlessness but tbh most people arnt mentioning what they do when they get it back so perhaps you are just the first who will admit it...

Let's face it, the first thing anyone does (with guys at least) when they get the net back is look up some porn.

Several times.

 

[Kajt]

When my Internet is down, I play Morrowind.

When my Internet is returned to me, I keep on playing Morrowind because by the time my Internet is returned to me I can't stop playing Morrowind.

 

[Spitfire175]

Right now, if my interweb was to die, I would curse and then go mend my car.
Earlier I would have just ignored it and played a goor RTS until it's back up again.

 

[Kiefer13]

Cry.

Or play some singleplayer games. Or read. Or write. Or go out with friends. Or do homework (as if) or...

You get the picture. I am always annoyed when my internet doesn't work, but I am never stuck for things to do.
