So I had a huge Immunology exam yesterday, and I haven't had much time for gaming. I finally got a chance to pick up Guitar Hero II after the test, and I took it home for what I thought would be a nice, relaxing night with my 360. I was about halfway through Cherry Pie when I heard a loud boom and everything in my apartment went black. For a second, I thought the sheer awesome-osity of the game just couldn't be contained and my 360 had blown the fuse for my apartment. Turns out, there was a pretty bad car accident outside of my building that took out the power for my entire block.

I don't have any candles, and I couldn't find my flashlight, so I sat there for a few minutes hoping the lights would just come back on. But then I remembered! WTF! No, not the popular (yet somewhat asinine) expression from the world-wide series of internet tubes. The PSP game! Work Time Fun may not deliver on its namesake, but it's pretty damn useful. One of the "tools" you can unlock by playing the PSP "game" basically turns the system into a glorified flashlight. So, using the light from my cell phone, I found the UMD, stuck it in my PSP, and was able to walk around my apartment without tripping or falling off of my balcony. Maybe the PS3 can cure all of mankind's diseases, but the PSP can help you see in the dark. And, when you think about it, isn't seeing in the dark more important than curing disease? I knew you'd agree.
