It might as well be the dark ages for fans of online gaming.

Major online poker sites are handcuffed by the Feds while online gamers are minus a pastime (purpose in life?) ever since hackers grabbed Sony’s Playstation Network by the short and curlies over a month ago.

The abrupt stop to these two popular hobbies has forced plenty of pale-skin, socially-awkward people to make eye contact with others as they flood into society, searching for entertainment.

Las Vegas has seen a boost in casino poker room traffic since the government clamped down on big sites like Pokerstars, according to Covers.com Sin City insider Case Keefer.

That trend leaves me a bit worried about the numbers of Call of Duty addicts with itchy trigger fingers since the PS Network crashed. Perhaps it wasn’t an elite team of Navy SEALS who took down Osama bin Laden, maybe it was just some action-starved SOCOM heads desperately looking for their poker room.

Either way, plenty of people are pissed about both situations. No poker and no PS3 makes Jack a dull boy, right?

Which online game are you missing the most: Poker or PS3?
