Fate of the Unwanted

So, I saw a commercial on TV the other day, advertising a documentary about if the world lost all of its electrical power. And how people would react. I've not seen the show myself yet though.Now, since most of the people here are so used to gaming being apart of their lives. And it obviousy not being able to work without electricity. How would you react, and/ or adjust to losing this luxury. And altogether electricity? Panic maybe? Go looting? Stab a granny? (Scrap that last one).Be serious, it's about time we had some sort of "intellectual" conversation here.Ready... GO!

read by candle light and shrug off the loss of this shiny thing that's become a drug

i survied the 2003 blackout.

i try to keep a simple line between gaming and rl. every friday and often saturday i go out and visit them and no exceptions (even if it means hearing jaina masturbating on ventrillio ), so thankfully i have a social life. but life would be boring, and i would smoke even more to keep my nerves cool and i would be getting some proper nights sleep, good grades, good drugs, more sex! and to add to what mus said, i would do what my viking ancestors did.. loot, kill and run away with beauiful women. and to what red said, candels would be nice, and i would probly burn my hand off playing with it.

You lose a huge link to public information (since the web has gone). Now think of how much time these things take up each week, or each day. Imagine all the places you like to go to, to socialise; have shut down because of this crisis. Think of the numbers of jobs lost. And number of possible careers and ways of life destroyed.Where would you really be in all this?

no electricity is good for me, means no security means free food!, oh yea instead of computergaming i'll just go play soccer/football with my friends 8)

No instant access to porn?! Probably kill myself...

No instant access to porn?! Probably kill myself...So, we have to wait for you to take a dive? Shit.

I would move somewhere deep into the fucking wild and shoot shit. Or an Island.

Dude, seriously, I would probably be REALLY depressed and go into like a downward spiral of self-loathing and hate and probably end up with some really uber mental disease and live out the rest of my life in a padded room.....no joke.
