XBL Maintenance 16 June, 2009

Post by Knoxximus »

I dunno if you guys got the memo yet or not, but Xbox Live is going to be out of order for the whole day tomorrow, starting tonight at 12:01am Pacific.

http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/69657 ... night.html

So the question is....what do you plan to do instead of Online VOOT play tomorrow?

I have to work the better part of the day, so I won't really feel the effects of this downtime very much...if I do get off at a decent time, maybe I'll use this time to really customize a Virtuaroid. That, or I'll watch replays or do some training. Maybe I'll plug away at Bioshock or Prince of Persia a little more.

Seriously though, isn't the ability to save all the replays you can eat amazing? I mean, it's like your own freaking VOOT on demand cable channel! :lol:

What about you guys?

I was thinking of a quiet evening at home with the, uh, wife. No no, I truely do want to stay home with the... wife.
</simpsons> :lol:

Seriously though, I'll probably take the "free" time to read study material for a Microsoft certification I'm working on, and/or do some practice on my lab.

On a side note, does Microsoft give credit for the Live downtime?

I have plenty to do; read, start a game of GTA IV, or give Quake Live a try (again), maybe unload my frustrations on the CPU in VOOT, watch back episodes of my favorite TV shows, maybe something productive.

I'll manage, I hope...

Edit: Oh, and I have my job to keep me busy for about half of my day.

Argh, I've been flustered ever since I heard the news. Only 'cause Tuesday is usually the prime time for playing anything online 'cause I don't work that day and no one is usually home at that night to bog down my 'net connection.

I really wanted to try Aph B, maybe I'll study up on someone else too (thinking of Cypher, Dordray and Raiden). Probably get in some Raiden Fighters as well...
