I lived at a piece-of-shit house during the beginning of my last semester at the university. The people living there never told me when bills were due except during the day before shit got shut off. Our internet went down right after christmas, and I was without direct access to internet for about 2 months before I moved out.
I watched movies when I could, and played fallout 3 a lot to ease the pain of no constant novelty.
Overall, though, I could survive another 2 months w/o internet.

I sit there for a while thinking:
"Hmmm what can I do? Ooo I can go play battlefiled, oh wait I need the internet for that... I can go on MSN/forums! Oh wait I need internet for that."

After this stage I usually either go play single player games or read books.

I play single-player games. Last time my Internet died (for a month or so), I played through Mass Effect and did 100% of the game.

Oh yeah, and "Gently rock in the corner" made me laugh. I don't know why; it just sounds funny.

I'm generally quite a busy person: I could do my homework, practice my Spanish, study Sociological theorems, read my backlog of books, finish my stat sheets for d20 system World War II weapons, prepare for my weekly D&D session, whatever really.

Had an ice storm a few years back... lost power at our house so we went to a hotel that luckily still had power... 90% of the city was out of power so we couldn't really go anywhere... oh, and the cable was out in the hotel... so, I went home and brought my xbox and that was surviving the ice storm... sitting in a hotel room, playing Black all day, and listening to my sister constantly ***** about any game I tried to play... good times...

I have a short list:
Read
Watch T.V.
Play Cricket
Ride my bike
Sleep
Go for a walk
Have a wa...
Play PC games
Drink
Go see my girlfriend

Actually, thinking about it going on the internet is more a case of what I do when I'm not doing one of the above, not the other way round.

It doesn't affect my gaming because I'm much more of a single player type of dude. When the internet goes down, I usually just go find something else to do, like watch TV or play video games.

It scares me to think that 14% of people chose homicidal rampage. It scares me even more that I chose it too.
