Things like that make me love Netflix.

:) Finally getting internet and cable in the new house today. Been kinda rough without it, especially considering that I need it for work when I get home and have gotten behind.

Same here(in combination with hulu and funimation elite), I still need to get caught up on arrow, fairy tail, one piece and a whole bunch of other shows. Thank goodness I've got a ps3 now and have it hooked up to my tv(even if it's a crt, still looks decent)

:D - officially only have two of my original consoles I wanted before joining this site to get, and finally have a true way(without headphones and trying to watch from bed with how ps4 is)to watch and catch up on tv. Yay for hulu/netflix/funimation :mrgreen:

:D accepted into the school I want to go to. I just got an apartment about 2 blocks away from the school so I can roll out of bed and go to class. I just got off the phone with IT department at school and am getting my email set up so that means amazon prime will be mine soon since I'm trying to get some upgrades for my computer and a monitor because I'm sick of using my tv.

:? I need to move and I hate moving. I find it depressing to box up my entire life and transport it.

Doesn't everyone? I remember having that same feeling almost 10 years ago when we moved out the house we were living in to one closer to family...honestly I miss that old house but I don't miss the school I would've gone too...

Packing and moving sucks, but unpacking and setting up your new place is nice.

Ah Netflix, my golden goose. So many people have been acquiring Netflix in my country via credit card and VPN that they've been saying for a while that they're going to come here officially. We have stuff all in comparison. If we want to watch something like Game of Thrones legally we have to buy a premium package from the local satellite TV provider for something like $150p/m. :lol: What a joke, there isn't even a streaming option ether.

Eh :? : I have to work tonight AND go to school today, but I guess the two things I need the most at the moment is a higher education and money. Go figure.

Smile: Having hours in the morning to fuck around and do whatever I want before the grind is nice, better than waking up and rolling straight into work/school 8)

Well game of thrones here you still have to purchase hbo go if i'm correct(if you want to watch it), I just think it's more important to knock out my more expensive consoles to get first(I'm looking at you wii u, since you're the last) and maybe after I do that I'll think about grabbing that. With the way the streaming stuff is coming it seems that you get more value to stream stuff than have a normal tv package. Plus I'm still waiting on arrow season 2 to come to netflix so I can binge and catch up....

For sure, with streaming you can watch it whenever you want as opposed to whenever its broadcasted on TV. That's always been a big plus for me, I don't want to organise my day/night around when things are on TV.

You are correct on HBO Go being required for GoT. And any other HBO show.

However, HBO Go comes free with any HBO purchase. And they have tacitly approved of password sharing -- the CEO said something really intelligent that basically amounted to "Yeah we know it's gonna happen and we really don't care -- it's gaining us more customers than it's costing us, so go ahead".

Soooo my dad and I have HBO/Cinemax/Showtime (different owner than the other 2 but same idea) courtesy of my brother. It's pretty awesome :mrgreen:
