Agreed... just make sure your internet plan has enough bandwidth. Our plan was an older one that had a cap at 25GB and we blew past by like 17GB the first month we had Netflix (admittedly, I probably had an extra 15GB of data transfer that isn't normally there too due to server migration). An extra $5/month to raise the cap 25GB is far cheaper than paying $2/gb for overage.

Watching: Mostly stuff on Netflix. Just finished up Season 1 of Justified. Previously finished re-watching Firefly and Serenity (the best shows always get cancelled early). I can't wait for the the new season of Arrested Development premiering on Netflix in 2013. Maybe the smartest comedy ever made.

On DVD, I spent the last month or so watching all three seasons of Deadwood......spent the majority of that time calling everyone a God damn cock sucker. You can't not like a show that threw out the F-bomb nearly 3000 times in 3 seasons. Next up is Season 6 of Dexter.

Its my GOTY so far.

I highly recommend Sleeping Dogs. It has rejuvenated the open world/gta style genre. Whoever at Activision decided to drop this game is probably kicking themselves.

I am going back through M*A*S*H but without the 70s laughtrack. Fantastic improvement!

Funny you mention Mash, I've been watching Hogan's Heroes the past few weeks. Two great shows. I started playing Journey, really enjoying it. It nice playing a game that is calming.

Better off yet to pay the extra $5 for the US catalog. WAY bigger and better. I use 'Unblock US'. Totally worth it!

Finally getting back into Shadows of the Damned on PS3. Good fun, though it can be frustrating and repetetive at times (especially when you die and have to endure the same load screens and dialogue EVERY. GD. TIME.) Still worth it though, and in keeping with the seasonal mood.

Oh, and watching a tonne of horror movies. Won't bother y'all updating this post with each one (unless you want me to... )

I just finished Sleeping Dogs on PS3 and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys open world games. The story is good and I actually liked that you don't have a gun for most of the game.

The hand to hand combat is similar to the free flow combat in Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.

Geeking out with Crusader Kings 2.

Watching a lot of BBC... new season of Thick of It, QI, few good docs. Will be getting back to Homeland pretty soon. Few shows, like Copper, that I'd like to give a chance.

Playing.. NHL13 (c-naughton) if your interseted in playing online.
Watching.. Storage Wars, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy and the odd comedy.

Watching curb your enthusiasm
preeeettttttyyyyy, preeeeetttyyyyy, preeeeetttyyyyy, pretty good.

Not a gamer, but when the baby's napping in the afternoon, I often catch the previous night's Daily Show...pretty interesting right now with the U.S. election on...

Playing Pokemon Heartgold Edition.

I would have to agree with you 10000%

Ricky Gervais fan, re-watching EXTRAS special & the two series.
