A Gamer’s guide to load shedding

Just because the lights have gone out does not mean you have to stop gaming

During loadshedding, I play candy crush on my phone/tablet as well as Bubble witch saga, yes they are lame games but kills time! - in the evening.


During the day, I will go out and drive my RC car around in the area

This article covered both my go-to's. Vita and taking a nap.

But +/- 6 hours battery on the vita? I don't remember getting anywhere near that much... Never really timed it though.

Game of Thrones – R799.00 (Takealot)
Bioshock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia – R646.00 (Takealot)

for board games!

It depends on what game you're playing on the Vita.
I seem to get around 5 hours when I play Rogue Legacy.

I guess that makes sense. Some games are more cpu/gpu intensive and would require more power.

 

[Ike_009]

I just pull out my Kindle or laptop

 

[Ichigo]

I use my 3ds/ds/tablet when the power is out

 

[Donisia]

I use a book because its easier

What loadshedding? Power goes off, I start the generator and resume what I was busy with in the first place.
