As some of you remember, my in ternet was scheduled to be shut off the first week of June. It was a bit later than that but it did get shut off.

I couldn't check e-mail, couldn't check the weather, could check movie listings, couldn't look up things on the internet, could research problems I was having with programming, could transfer files.... the list just goes on. Needless to say I couldn't take it. I'm back, made a deal to split the net bill with my Dad. Also to help me with the withdrawl I went though for theose weeks of hell, I decided to upgrade my internet while I was at it, so now it's 2x faster than what it used to be. Now running at 5000kbps down and 1000kbps up.

I'm back baby!!!

See...this is why I stock up on stuff to do either around the house, away from the house, or the easy cut and dry method of on-the-computer...if I had to I could last for months.

Anyways...glad to see you back I guess...just don't hurt me or anything from that withdrawal stuff.

Um, welcome back I guess.

I personally would probably do what I did in the few days between leaving GameFAQs and returning here: Record some music, practice playing instruments and the like.

Around 500kB/s eh.. nice enough . No internet = many lose, especially without a console and for extended periods of time. Glad you fixed it though :].

Your not the only one who have been without internet for awhile, thought I was only away for five days...

So, what did you do instead of surfing around? staring into a wall?

I truly dont how long I could go without being able to go online, maybe a few weeks. Anyways ive got DSL and to me its made a huge difference from dial up,either way I imagine your doing more than browsing the web with a 5000/1000 connection.

I pay half the net bill with my father also. Its better then not having the internet at all. Two years ago I spent the whole summer without it. So I know how it feels to get back online. Welcome back.

i lost my internet the first couple of weeks in June or was supposted to but i didn't get it back until the beginning of July. i went crazy BUT i found a solution. i hadn't quite finished a number of PS1 and PS2 games so i finished a couple of final fantasies and Price of Persia and i beat SOCOM 1 and SOCOM 2 all the way through and all the difficulties. you could say for awhile i was go hard gamer but things have settled down and i'm back into the groove nicely now too.

When my interweb got shut off for a while, I beat every snes game I own. Super mario world was most frustrating.

Snes games aren't all that you could beat. We still have all those Sega Genisis games.
