Personal Viewing Habits

When it comes to watching television, I do not normally watch live television anymore. On occasion, I will watch something from Food Network when I am home during break, but for the most part, I watch my TV through online sources. This includes not only normal television shows but also Youtube channels.

Two TV channels I watch online, are SYFY and TNT/TBS







This is due to them playing some of my favorite TV shows that have current seasons running. on SYFY I watch The Magicians. The great fantasy drama always has me wanting more. On TNT I watch the Librarians.


Both of these channels use the same interesting subscription path for you to watch online. Instead of having their own subscription fee to watch them online you have to sign in using your cable/satellite TV subscription. I personally sign in using my families DirectTV account. When watching this I still have to watch commercials as you would with live television. Other than having to watch the commercials, I have little issue with the service. I understand, however, their reasoning for it.



I consume a lot of my media as well through Netflix, as I enjoy their originals and catalogs of older shows a lot. I have highly enjoyed shows like Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Stranger Things. I will easily binge-watch an entire show on a weekend or a day off. I finished almost all the aforementioned shows in a few days. Along with those, I will re-watch Older shows such as Futurama, which is currently being moved to another service. Netflix is also great for feeding my stand-up comedy craving I get every once in a while, as they have many comedy specials.



Hulu also helps when it comes to both current TV shows and catalogs of past episodes of shows. While there I currently watch shows like South Park. I don't have a lot of currently ongoing shows I am watching so I have not been using it as much.



I use Youtube a lot. There I will watch shows like Film Theory and Game Theory.


 I also like to watch different shows about philosophy and logic. Occasionally I will use it to look at game trailers and other such videos, I am not as big on Let's Plays, Markiplier Game Grumps and the like myself.

When it comes to gaming I get a large number of my games from HumbleBundle and Steam. Both of these websites have large libraries and great deals. I am currently subscribed to Humble Monthly which gets my multiple great games for just $12 a month. This allows me to have a good amount of high-quality AAA games to keep me occupied throughout the month.

Between all of these, I consume a lot of media. There are so many outlets out there that it isn't surprising. This helps with boredom that you can get over time.
