After the events which cause SOE to shut down all servers for security issues, the conversation arose.. what is the gamer going to do in his, now copious, free time? Go shopping? Spend time with the kids? Catch up on house hold chores? This song takes gaming geekdom to the extreme as a fanatical gamer snaps from game deprivation!
The Night the Server’s went down at Sony: Parody of “The night the lights went out in Georgia” (Download MP3)
He worked all day long at radio shack
Now in the car, there’s no turning back
A long fought weekend ahead to relax and unwind
But when he got home, his roomate sighed
The rumours where true, he read online
His beloved, his friends – oh the questions ran through his mind
He ran to his room, darkened with gloom
Once warm and glowing, now cold as a tomb
His heart sunk deep in his chest, shriveled and lame..
Try as he may, a hundred times
What will I do? he screamed in his mind
How can I go on, without playing my game..

That’s the night the Servers went down at Sony
That’s the night the Gamers played with Idol hands
Nothing to do, to curb their lust for gaming
What’s a geek to do when denied what he demands..
He threw his hands up, there’s just no use
Must be a joke.. a sinister ruse..
The greatest tragety since that dungeon crawl wipe..
Denile and doubt went through his mind
How can this happen? What will I do with my time?
The loss of his precious surely.. the greatest of crimes..
Then deep in his brain, idea came to life
The madness it came like the stab of a knife
A play that would set him free, like a treasure unwrapped
His eyes darted left, they darted right
Seeing his armor and sword there alright
He jumped to his feet, and his mind snapped
He made a helm and sword with sweat and toil
Made of cardboard boxes and aluminum foil
Threw a blanket on his seat like a noble steed, that’ll do it..
His horse gallaped out to the living room
the rolling of wheels spelled inpending doom
He raised his sword and charged with all of his might..

Nothing to do, to curb their lust for gaming
What’s a geek to do when denied what he demands..
His battle cry rang in the night
His target went down without much fight
His courageous victory would surely be sung by the bards
He jumped as A shout came from the crowd
His room mate glared ‘For crying out loud”
That was my mother’s lamp you friggin tard!
