Yeah, none of the commercials I have seen are fun to watch so I just end up muting them until they are over. Hell, even on the pc I have to put up with the same commercials for months, which reminds me; I am really starting to like the idea The Escapist is using with its videos where the ads are on the border of the video, well at least sometimes, hope it picks up.canadamus_prime said:
Are you kidding me? I HATE that! It's f*ing distracting. It pisses me off every time the Escapist does that. Esp. since most of the time they're just promoting their own crap. "Yes I know it's the final round of March Mayhem! Now can you get this shit out of my face so I can watch Zero Punctuation thank you very much?!"JOE COOL said:
Tell me about it. I'm using my 42" TV as my computer monitor and trying to work with Photoshop on it or Flash is a pain. I'd actually like to get a smaller monitor so I can work on other projects.Wolverine18 said:
Aside from using my consoles? Not very much. The tv in my room is solely dedicated to my Xbox and PS3. When I want to watch a movie I go downstairs, with the big ass 3D tv.
As for actually watching tv, no, I haven't done that ever since Scrubs ended.

Not too often. Gaming is an obvious use, but I tape some random shows that are hard to find online. Sports are also hard to find online, so I pretty much have to get my college basketball fix from actual TV. Beyond that, I like to watch Community as soon as possible instead of waiting for Hulu or to watch random reruns while eating dinner.
Haven't watched T.V. in over 3 years. Haven't played my Wii in about a year, but I'll be getting Xenoblade Chronicles on the 6th so that will be changing soon. Other than that, no, there's nothing worth watching on T.V. and I prefer to game on my PC.
The TV in my room gets used pretty often for background noise, but it's rarely actually the focus of what I'm doing unless I'm watching a movie or playing a console game. It's actually kind of a shame; I've got a full 5.1 system, which I actually took the time to calibrate with an SPL meter[footnote]Most people do not do this, and it shows. I have better sound now than most of the local theaters, and I don't have an especially fancy setup.[/footnote], but I haven't turned on the TV its connected to in days, and haven't done any serious viewing in weeks. I've listened to some music on it, but that's about it.
The TV in the livingroom gets used all the time, but moreso by my family than by me. Part of it is because the TV in the livingroom has a digital cable box connected, so it gets something like 500 channels, while the one in my bedroom gets 70 or so on analog cable. Even with the 500 channels, though, there's not much to watch[footnote]Wasn't that a joke on The Jetsons, with the exact words "500 channels and still nothing to watch?"[/footnote]; I get more use out of my modded wii that has access to all sorts of online content portals than anything else. Homebrew is nice.

Yes, I use all of my TVs - one for watching TV/movies and recorded shows and the other is my PC monitor.
I never watch TV except when I'm at someone else's place. I don't have one myself, and don't plan to get one.
Adventure Time, Regular Show, the new season of Mythbusters, Psych, Pawn Stars, the very few amount of actual fucking history shows on History Channel. I use it, not everyday, but probably more than a lot of people here.
