5 Ways To Kill Time Waiting For The Xbox One & PS4 Release Days

Gaming Queue So you're walking round town, with the girl you love, and then you're like....OHMYGODTHERE'SAPS4/XBOX ONEINTHATSHOP (I think that's a better version of that song personally). So anyhow: you've found a store that actually has a next-gen console for people out to play on. After standing behind a gang of kids who just won't let the damn thing go for around an hour, you finally let off a potent but potentially deadly gust of wind and they immediately vacate the area. You're now ready to play on the shop's console. The tension is so thick you can taste it. You reach for the console pad, about to experience next gen for the first time, and are then promptly kicked from the shop because it's closing time. Feeling hurt and dejected, you should now erect a tent outside the store and wait for another attempt at the console. Next day, after nearly freezing to death overnight, you try again. Turns out the manager has put the console away now because it was a one day event thing. You may now proceed to cry into your hands and curse the world. Unfortunately dear reader, I can't make the launch of the console come any quicker. How are you going to spend your time waiting for the new consoles? Let me know down in the comments section.
