I feel the same way. After I beat a game I think
"Were those 10 hours really worth it?"

But hey, make life entertaining.

Yea I don't even have cable any more. Too expensive, and not necessary. I just watch stuff online when I want to. For free. Even watched the Superbowl live online. It's just to the point now that there's no need to pay for cable because of online availability. I find great documentaries online, any TV series you can think of all uploaded on air date, any live sports game, any movie... all free.
So cable?
Pshh... if I didn't have DVD's I still liked, I'd sell my flat-screen.

Internet is so much more expensive than cable here. Its like 85 for the internet and only like an extra 15 for standard cable. So it really wouldn't save much to only drop cable.

Damn... you talking cable internet or DSL or satellite?
I'm about to get up on this cable internet instead of this slow DSL crap and I'm not going to be busting more than 50 a month. Still getting quotes, but where I'm moving, we have a fiber internet provider so I'm looking into working through them so I might get good speeds for cheaper than what I'm looking at...

Plus, I only could do my homework with the TV on... the silence (or a black turned off screen) bores me. I need to have something moving in front of me.
I'm the same way. It's more of a routine sort of thing for me though. When I'm all alone in the kitchen I like having the tv on in the other room to make it seem like I'm not alone, plus it's good background noise.. Unless it's those cheesey commercials that are played 100x too many -

"What was the URL I was supposed to look at? Finallyfast. HEY, my computer is fast - FINALLY~!" ...I'm not impressed that I know all the lines for that commercial. And I kinda really hope someone else knows what commercial I'm talking about lol
