TOP TEN THINGS TO DO WHILE THE PSN IS DOWN!

So as most of you probably know, Sony's Playstation Network has been down for some time now. Sony is claiming that they will have the service up and running soon, BUT WHAT DO WE DO IN THE MEANTIME? Well, it's not as easy question to answer, but I've come up with a top ten list that I hope will help some of you in your time of need.

Oh and for xbox owners, please don't rub it in. This isn't funny, thousands of people have had their personal information stolen as a result of this issue. Plus, your undying allegiance to a faceless corporation doesn't make you look intelligent, or witty, it makes you look like a tool.

So with all that said, sit back and enjoy THE TOP TEN THINGS TO DO WHILE THE PLAYSTATION NETWORK IS DOWN!


10. Write A Blog

       Ok this one is kind of a gimmie, but cmon give me a break. LISTS ARE HARD. However, writing is not that bad of an idea. For me, writing serves as a great distraction, and it gives me the opportunity to air out a lot of my thoughts.  SEE I'M NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT PSN HAHAHAHAHA EVERYTHING IS OK!  Writing can be really soothing, and if you do decide to write something, please let us know.

9. Buy Portal 2/ Play single player

   A lot of great games have come out recently for ps3 owners. Most notably is Portal 2, the sequel to probably one of the greatest games of this console generation. (PLUS IT'S ON SALE AT GAMESTOP) While the length of the campaign isn't that long, it's surely going to be considered one of the most exciting rides of this year. The mind bending portal puzzles return, along with a familiar robotic antagonist. The voice acting, and attention to detail, makes up for the 6-8 hour campaign. Besides once the single player is finished you can always play the co-op...Oh well yeah, you can play it split screen at least.....

But what if you don't have the cash for Portal 2? Well you could always go through your old game library and play through some of them again. Maybe you didn't get all of the trophies, or perhaps you could self impose certain challenges on yourself. Ex: Try getting through Metal Gear Solid 4 without getting caught.

8. Help Your Loved Ones

 You know I never realized that my family did things. While I was playing on Psn, I just assumed they went into their rooms and stood still, silently waiting for my return. However upon further inspection it appears as if they actually do things while I'm not talking to them. Sometimes they will even need help! I actually managed to distract myself for a few hours by offering to help them with their small, and insignificant problems.

7. Make Witty Youtube Comments.

Doesn't everyone love a good youtube comment? They are always so funny and original. Missing out on your meaningless trophies? Why not attach yourself to another meaningless points system, the Thumbs up system. Try to see how many "thumbs" you can get by posting hilarious comments. Now with the death of Osama bin Laden, try to work that into your comment to make it extra hilarious. For example "Rebecca Black killed Osama Bin Laden." ISNT THAT FUNNY? HAHAHAHA.

Oh and if you want to add and extra layer to the hilariousness, why not comment on the number of likes or dislikes. Ex: "33 people missed the like button" HAHAHA GET IT? DUDE HILARIOUS

If you are really clever, why not try to combine them all. "33 people are Osama Bin Laden. Thumbs up so other people can know" Hilarious, just hilarious. Wow, after all that laughter, I can hardly remember what I was upset about to begin with.

6. Continuously check

 
   Maybe while you have been reading this, psn has gone back up. It's always healthy to check at least every 15 minutes. It helps keep your heart rate up, and it's really good for your hand eye coordination.  Also, the baggy eyes and sweaty palms that will result from this really help with the ladies.

5. Play your Wii.

Lol Jk

4. Go practically insane, and try to buy games at 711

Yes, I actually did this. After beating Portal 2, and having literally nothing else to do, I ventured to the wonderful world of the 711 used game bin. While I didn't end up purchasing anything, the quality of games was there. You could buy all of the big hitters like "Homiez Rollerz" for the ds, or a perfectly good copy of NCCA Basketball 08. Quality stuff.

Yup

3. Leave a comment?

 Heh, yeah I'm just being a big ole whore right about now, but we here at AOVW really do appreciate your support and your comments. So um comment? It's a good thirty to forty seconds where you won't be thinking about the crippling pain that comes from the psn being down.

2. Bang your head against a wall.

 This will help build up your cardio endurance , as well as help strengthen the might of your skull. Also haven't you been meaning to add a new window? Well, by banging your head against the wall, you can not only get that new window, BUT FOR FREE! Plus banging your head against the wall could help you forget about the psn in quite a literal sense. Just be forewarned that banging too hard could lead to serious brain damage, but cmon stop being a little girl.
