As we reported on before, Xbox Live will be going off the grid for a few hours. Zero hour approaches, people, and at 12:01am PST the service will be going down for up to 24 hours. This means you won't be able to use the online features of games, so it might be time to crack open Mass Effect again. On the other hand, if you were thinking about starting Halo 3 or Final Fantasy XI, tonight might not be the best night.

So, what are you going to do with this time? Without Xbox Live I'll likely light some torches, crack out a book, or play some board games. Maybe I'll hunt; you know, like our ancestors did before the glory that was online gaming. I heard they used sticks and crap.

Or, you know, I'll play some Prototype or inFamous. Either of those options work as well, I suppose.
