TV Guilty Pleasure

NBA2k15. I would like to upgrade to a newer version, but I am on the 5th season in my Association and I don't feel like starting from scratch.

What’re you playing at the moment T? Something tells me you’re a PC gamer. I very well may be wrong.​

I’m a fallout and GTA follower almost exclusively. Not because I wouldn’t enjoy other games but because I don’t have enough time.

Yea, I’m that way with the Far Cry series. I also like to veg out with a few rounds of COD now and then. Having no time to play hasn’t slowed down my videogame collecting though.

It’s been fun introducing my nearly 2 year old daughter to video games. She likes to watch me play Flower and Rayman Legends. Rez Infinite too. That one kinda blew her mind.
 
Surprised at how many people here are into games. I meet lots of people IRL who consider it a source of pride that they have never played video games. Almost all of them watch a fair amount of TV. Can't even begin to explain to them that games can have all of the elements of a TV series and it's interactive. Putting maintenance into a character creates an embodiment that a well constructed game can take advantage of.

I watch Alone.
Really like it, although the Mongolian season that just wrapped up was the worst of the bunch in my opinion.

I played the GTA online the other day for the first time. I've never played games online. I had no desire to chat with other people while doing it. I dropped into one place, got fragged immediately and had to listen to the most racist tirade I've ever heard for about 20 minutes straight before I figured out how to report the guy and mute him. Weird, the guys name was "crappy_buffalo_lawyer".
 
I also watch iZombie, I read all the comics too which makes me doubly geeky.

I also have the last version of EA NCAA football that will ever be made. I won like 9 national championships with UConn. I would put them in a different conference every other season.

Bought it for a song a couple years ago off eBay. On my 3rd 1st season and just beat Maryland last night (first one was with Diaco). Mcquillan was such a weapon.

I play NCAA basketball a lot. I have the one with Blake Griffin on the cover. I'm going for my fourth straight title with Holy Cross.

No games, I think last one I played with any frequency was Tiger Woods 98 for a year or so. Not much TV except morning news, UConn and Pirates games and Netflix/Amazon series binges. There is zip on network TV or most all the "free" cable that is of any interest and nothing I'd set aside time to watch on a weekly basis with an exception for BCS.

I used to watch Bourdain with some regularity and was interested in food shows awhile back until they became stupid. Many ideas should just be allowed to run their natural course and go away instead of being propped up with idiotic plotlines and gimmickry.

I am the sort who blames media for the dumbing down of current society :mad:

And I know a whole lot of you were YUGE fans of The Apprentice/Celebrity Apprentice and think it's even better IRL!

I got bored with UConn, so I did San Jose State too. That one took 1 or 2 extra seasons to make the National Title. The Mountain West stadiums have the coolest backgrounds in the game of any conference. I couldn't get to the National Title game until I moved them into the Pac 12. I kept getting jumped by 1 loss P5 teams. The game was more realistic than it got credit for.

I know it is possible to get to the title game out of a non-P5, but I was playing 10 minute quarters, which translates into about a 90 minute game in real time. So each season was about 21 hours, plus recruiting and setup, which takes a while. Round up to 26 hours a season, and I didn't feel like rolling the dice on getting left out, so I moved the Spartans to the Pac 12.
 
One more new one: Dr. Pimple Popper. Don't watch this one on a full stomach.
 
Makes wife makes fun of me because I still watch The Challenge on MTV.

Just watched a couple of these with my daughter. It was surprisingly engaging. You can't help but diagnose when people come in. "Yeah that could be a cyst, but it looks like a lipoma to me."



Also started watching the latest incarnation of Nightwatch.

I'd been enjoying the series, but IMO it went downhill when they turned Seattle into Zombie Nation. I don't even like Liv's character anymore. The supporting characters like Clive, Ravi and Peyton are why I still watch it.

Agreed
 
Bar Rescue - My kids always walk in and say, "Oh, this is the episode where Taffer yells at the guy."

Fixer Upper - I have no defense for this one.
