What Do You Do When You Can't Game?

[Ledan]

Read books. I'm an avid reader, so when the power is out I like to read. Or when my laptop isn't around.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

Sit down on my comfortable sofa, have a snack then nap.

 

[Death Carr]

so does that mean phones/handhelds are out too?

For some reason games are gone, take your pick of disasters. This includes smart phone games.

ok then, ill just have to finish reading "A game of thrones"

EDIT: also, DnD

 

[Laser Priest]

I either read or roam the internet.

The fact that I do the latter at all is probably the reason I've come to be such a hateful bastard sometimes.

Step 1: Stare at ceiling for 20 minutes
Step 2: search for 3 hours in the dark for a torch
Step 3: Begin reading a book just as the power come back on
Step 4: sigh with contempt

 

[Scarim Coral]

Either play games on my DS or just lay on my bed and do nothing but think.

 

[])rStrangelove]

Listening to some of our band songs and trying to find a new guitarpart to add.

 

[Sarah Frazier]

Read a book, clean around the kitchen, gather laundry, cook a snack, or maybe take a relaxing bath.

but now that i have a console i have ot take in all kinds of considerations..tim effort and weird looks from my family..gaaahh life is so complicated

 

[rstan58]

i used to play board games witht he family, but now that i have moved out i has no idea what to do

 

[Zing]

Go out and get food, go drinking or smoke some pot.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I sit in a corner, rocking back and forth and binge-eating hotpockets. Like any respectable nerd.

 

[Scorekeeper]

I read/write when I've no video games to keep me occupied.

 

[IKSA]

Go to my friends house and play there with him.

 

[The Aimless One]

Power outage:
Light a candle, read a book.

Not near my console/PC:
Usually means I have something better to do e.g. chill with friends and or GF/make music/Dance at illegal rave/etc....

 

[Crazy]

Play card games and correct my plans for domination.

 

[TheGreenCube]

Never stop the gaming!

If I cannot game I shall game in my head!
if I cannot game in my head, I'm probably dead!

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

If we are assuming that I also cannot go out to hang out with people, my usual fall back would be to read. I always have a stack of books that need reading.

 

[Crazy Zaul]

Go to Mcdonalds and keep eating till the power comes back on.

 

[surg3n]

Tricky one... I've been in this position and always managed to play games anyway - a fully charged laptop, fully charged portable DVD player, charged up iPod... there is always an option. I'd probably play cards, or go mountainbiking, but totally no games would get to me pretty quickly.
