    It turns out that the TV was actually a guy?

    Wait, wrong thread.

    I almost never watch TV anymore. Hell, I can't even remember the last time I used the TV for video games, which isn't to say I'm not playing games, just that I can't remember the last time I played anything on my Wii.

    There's never anything good on TV. Whenever it's on I go into the other room and read a book. Or get on my computer.

    If I was actually aiming to watch a bit of TV, but there is nothing on, then I'll usually grab my book (which sits on the coffee table just in front of me) and go through that.

    I rarely watch TV nowadays though. I sort of skip over the middle man and just go straight for the book most times now.

    Hah, I just went over my actual point for this and I realised how bad an idea it was to actually put this on THIS community.

    Where's the option for 'plot global domination' or 'Torture small baby animals by playing loud polka music'

    I don't watch TV for, like, five years at the least.

    Most things. I don't spend much time watching television. When I do, it's not even television proper, but television content delivered through Hulu or Netflix.

    Tv? What Tv? I currently have a tv, yes, but it's almost never on. Probably due to the fact that I have no cable, what with living on campus and all, as well as that I literally sit by the computer doing school work and there by have no time, and when I do find time, it just ends up me sleeping off those oh so very odd hours of sleep (yay 3 hours of sleep a night!) so back to the question: Tv? What Tv?

    I'm always supposed to work on my novel. Even at this moment I should not have been behind my PC at all, since it's freaking 2 AM, why am I still up?

    I'd like to say I read a book but I only really do that when I'm in bed these days. Instead I just play some video games.

    I very rarely watch TV, so I don't often find myself in this situation. I'd much rather spend my free time on my computer than waste it in front of the television.

    When I get home from work I always watch a bit of TV, either How I Met Your Mother or what ever else there is on the TV.
    But when that gets boring I always go upstairs and turn on my computer, at least there there is always something to do. :)

    Why does TTG wants to mimic TV when TV isn't great anymore? Just thinking...

    Oh and i rarely watch TV, maybe twice or thrice in a month, mainly to watch some football then. If i would have enough time i would have tons of things to do. People who enjoy watching TV will most probably never see this thread. :O)

    I don't actually watch tv anymore. I got tired of them showing repeats when it was supposed to be new episodes, or taking shows off for a couple of weeks and generally messing around. We've put all our media on to a storage device and networked it to all the tv's/computers in the house. I got seasons of all the shows I wanted to catch up on. When I want to watch an episode of something I just watch it. The new seasons of shows on in America and UK I watch online, Dad uses a tv tuner recorder thingy in his computer for anything on here. I don't think I could go back to having to sit down at a certain time to watch something. For the poll I put read a book, but I also surf the net and play games...

    I honestly don't read books in the setting that I'd have that opportunity to watch TV. Reading for me isn't something I really sit and do, it's something I do in-between places. I thoroughly enjoy reading, it's not that it's "slightly less boring than sitting on a bus", but for some reason I've always read in bursts between classes, on public transit, and in other situations where portable entertainment is ideal.

    Hey guys, I kinda found out that in order for this to work the way I need it too I actually need how old people are, so I might s well come out and say that this is for a psychology project, that's not everything you need to know, but I'll reveal the rest of it on friday

    People watch TV?

    On the serious side, I do flip through the channels until I actually find something/get bored. But then I'm just prone to wandering off and going on the internet. :/

    (Also, I'm 19.)

    Does watching a handful of shows via Netflix and Hulu count? If not, I haven't watched TV in a long time. Mine is basically a game and DVD display.

    I stick with movies or games for entertainment. There isn't much on TV these days.

    Oh, age too? 20. There, I said it.

    I game, and I'm 23.

    I'd also like to point out, that this may be the anonymous internet, but this is far from a random sample. Telltale's forums are primarily the 16-30 set, who already have an interest in gaming. Keep that in mind!

    I wanted to post something relevant in this thread all day but couldn't think of a real answer...I watch a movie, or I put on youtube videos, I get on the computer...I don't really game that much anymore.

    I don't think polls can be edited. You'd probably be best off starting a new thread with a new poll. Probably something with a ton of duplicate options, like "Play Video Games (Age 15-20)", "Play Video Games (Age 20-25)" or whatever it is you need.

    Actually, I do this the other way around. When I look at my bookshelf and can't find anything that I really want to read, then I go watch TV.
