How's that work? You have 2 tvs set-up next to each other to watch 8 hours of Supernatural while also playing a video game?

I wouldn't call Bruce Springsteen captivating either. Different strokes for different folks.

Show me where I have said that.

The main point was the second sentence.

It seems like a lot effort to put in just to which a bit of tele.

How do you focus on things TheFreshBanana?

Usually involves a television in front and then have a laptop next to me so I can watch/hear.

Nah, only works with games and TV shows that require half an effort to watch/play.

For example, in The Witcher 3, there's a lot of walking around involved to get from point A to point B, or fighting weak monsters. During this time, I can catch up on shows I would usually get bored if I was watching it by itself.

Another game is Football Manager, where I do all the match preparations, get my team selected, then let the team play while I go watch TV LOL

How do you focus on things TheFreshBanana?

Look... I either have the worst focus, or I'm so good I can focus on two things...

Experience tells me it's the former

Sounds like ADD. Can you sit and read a book in quiet?

 

[TheFreshBanana]

I wouldn't call Entourage 'captivating'.

Great TV show.

Not many shows have 8 seasons of quality.

Yeah I can do that. Used to read a lot as a kid, but don't really read that much anymore purely because there are easier ways to be entertained, and finding a good book is hard.

If it's a book I really like, then usually I can't stop until I finish it. It's why I have a no reading book policy before bed. I remember re-reading the Godfather trilogy, ended up reading the whole damn thing until 8am

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Although, now that I think about it, I remember Mum saying she thought I had ADD.

Not sure if she was joking or not lol

i think multitasking like that is quite common, moreso in Gen (insert letter here). with smartphones, various methods to communicate, there is so much going on. imagine you had the ability and power to see data travelling over wifi. there'd shit everywhere. also, people these days (Gen ???) feel the need to update twitter, facebook or create hashtags for the sake of it. as a result, a simple task like watching tv becomes second thought

I have just set up a schedule for the 2015-16 TV Season. This includes what dates each TV I watch starts, along with the time and any predicted changes to the scheduling. I did the same thing for the 2014-15 Season as well as the current 2015 Season. Once more news about the episode dates arrives, I will mark which dates the episodes will air, and which ones will be missed.

I plan to schedule my uni timetable around this.

Fair point.

Have never partaken in live tweeting but sounds like something that would be up my alley.

You're right, and Entourage isn't one of them.

lol k

 

[akkaps]

I've tried watching Entourage, got to about season 4 [can't quite remember] twice, but found it very boring and uninteresting. It's just a bunch of four guys doing shit all, E was probably the best character and needed better friends.

 

[Cruyff14]

lol k

You'll find many think that Entourage was not good for its entirety.

S6 was trash IIRC
