Over the past few years (and I’m sure in years to come, we have had powercuts all over the place, so what do we do? Our consoles and TV’s are out so perhaps we must venture into the ‘Dreaded sunlight’. So for those emergency situations I have prepared a few options:


Option 1: The active pursuit.

For the mild gamer.

For the mild gamer among you a powercut won’t be too bad of an occasion. So take a bike ride! Bikes nowadays are cheap really so why not get some fresh air and exercise.

The result:

A sore bum in the morning.

Option 2: Reading

For the mediocre gamer.

Ok so reading isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but hey after a few hours of gaming your brain needs some knowledge.

The result:
More intelligence.

Option 3: Clubbing

For the Avid Gamer

Yes here it is a club, most people need to adjust to the light (or lack of it) not you, after those days of gaming with the lights off you will be right at home. Now as you may not know what a club is (brain rot) you should have a bar which sells drinks. Get some money (Some coins or paper are classed as ‘Money’) and buy some ‘Al-co-hol’ this should prevent you from thinking about- well pretty much anything. Now get on the floor with flashy lights and jump.

The result: A headache in the morning and probably an ugly girl or boy.

Option 4: Gambling

For the Excessive gamer

Hehe gambling you gotta love it haven’t ya’ well providing you have some money (see above) go out and spend spend spend, don’t worry if you don’t know how to play cards just go to a slot machine.

Option 4: Russian Roulette

For the gamer who just can’t go without VR.

Well since your ‘life is over’ why not go out in style?



Ok before you go out you need to prepare. Obviously you need to stretch *Do it now*. Now you are ready to roll.
Before leaving the house you need to eat well (hey you can’t go on an empty stomach can you) TV dinners are advised (quick and easy)

What to do if…

1. You wake up in someone else’s bed with someone else: Pick up your shoes and find you clothes from all over the room. Undo the handcuffs and silently creep out. When the person calls you tell them that you had to move to Guam for business and that you will miss them loads.

2. You wake up in jail: First tell that big guy that’s looking at you that you ‘Are not that way’. Second phone up your parents or partner and tell them that some friends decided it would be fun to play with your OJ and ‘Mix it’ with some alcohol.

3. You wake up with no console and a gym membership card: Oh no you’ve only gone and joined a gym, first retrieve your beloved console and play on it to renew your love for VR. Second melt the card and throw it in a bin. Now go on an all-night gaming binge.

4. You wake up and the power is still off: Well just repeat last night.



So there you have it Dr Fire’s guide to powercuts please don’t drink in excess or do drugs and you should be fine next time you have no power.

Rickoss you should be dead!

*Unbeliever finds Rickoss' still-warm corpse and pumps a few more bullets into it*

Just to make sure. Wanted for suicide? Good.

*Unbeliever wipes his fingerprints off his compact pistol and places it in Rickoss lifeless hand.*

Much better.

*Hands in pockets, Unbeliever whistles tunelessly and saunters away without a care in the world.*

It's likely that the staffies'll get sick of reading spoofs and a normal post will win.
