Larkarus Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Given the scheduled maintenance coming up on January 4th, I take it upon myself to provide the SWTOR community with a list activities to keep ourselves busy during downtime. The following list has been tailored specifically for us MMO gamers, and can be enjoyed by both new players and veterans alike. Feel free to add your own suggestions, but please, constructive posts only. -Rent or download a movie and watch it on x10 frame advance. After it is finished, complain it was too short. -Go to your local Kennel Society's weekly meeting. Loudly talk the entire time about how dogs are stupid and your cat is so much cooler. -After finishing your Math/Phys Double Major BSc, sign up for some high school arithmetic classes. Finish a week's worth assignments in 10 minutes, then complain to the teachers that they are diluting the content by catering to nubz. -Accost random women on the street and accuse them of being transvestites. Should you establish that they are indeed female, follow them around with a camera snapping pictures. -Go to your local immigration bureau. Scream at the applicants: "We're full, get out nubz!" (Maximum enjoyment can be derived from this if you are a Naturalized Citizen yourself) -Go to your local emergency room. Sit down and start chain-smoking Gitanes. When the staff asks you to put them out, indignantly tell them that you can do whatever you want because your taxes pay their salaries.(May not work in some countries) -Sign up for your community football league. Given the choice between playing flag/touch or full-contact football, pick full-contact because it sounds so much cooler. The first time you get tackled, start a petition to ban tackling. -Visit another city. Stand in front of a tourist map/directory and ask passerbys for directions to a local museum. When people point out the location for you on the map, yell out "OMG why is everybody here so unfriendly?" Thanks to Penny Arcade for the next two: -Tell random people how high you are right now. -Go to the local court and join a pick-up basketball game. Three minutes in, puncture the ball and leave. -Lastly, call your local library at noon to find out when they close. Get told it's at 8:00pm. Show up at 7:59pm and scream at the librarian about how inconvenient their hours are and why they didn't warn you about it.

Larkarus Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 One more activity: -Take a drive in Manhattan during rush hour. Complain about the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHagbard Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I usually don't care much for real-life-comparisons, because they all are lacking in one way or another, but those are just entertaining to read. Thanks OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battyone Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 One more activity: -Take a drive in Manhattan during rush hour. Complain about the traffic. Not even as bad as you'd think besides getting over the B+T part. Just gotta know when to go to 9th ave or the west side to go south, or FDR/5th to go north.
