It is a sad state of affairs when there is an immediate outcry from gamers that tears the innermost joy from their souls and rips it asunder over a bed of hot coals. The big switch was just flipped, and Xbox Live is now down for up to twenty-four hours. This downtime includes Xbox.com’s My Xbox section, and the forums will be read-only.
We’ll be sure to let you know when it is back online. Until then, we’ve made a list of things you could do in lieu of LIVE being updated…
- Go pick up Ghostbusters and play it without interruption!
- Check out Up, it is a really great film.
- If you’re able, go swimming today!
- Spend some time with your significant other. Show them your ability to refrain from gaming. (Because you can’t, but they don’t know that!)
- Spend some time in our IRC Chat.
- Learn how to sew a sweater for next winter.
- Sing a song of six pence, pocket full of rye.
- Just go outside.
What’re you going to do all day?

Pool – Cry – Rant on the Forums

People could take the day off to play all those great old PS2 games they never finished, like Okami, and Shadow of the Colossus, and The Red Star. Or they could play offline, you know, like in the good old days when having “friends” mean you actually saw them and hung out with them in real life. There’s always Scene It!
