Yeah, I mean, I check out my Youtube, listened to radio stations from places I used to live with the IHeartRadio app and found some new ones (all comedy all the time recommended, dunno if its just the Phoenix area), and I've watched some TMZ stuff. I'll be all over Crackle and MLB.tv when that comes too. It's always more fun to watch or listen to things come from your TV than your computer.

Before that, all I used is ESPN (still use, and still don't get why it's considered a 'game').

I have to agree with that but I find that when listening, I much rather play games as well as listening sometimes. 

If I'm doing a simple game, I would want to listen to something, but not if I'm trying to have conversations with people or hear enemies... can't have some comedian telling jokes (then you just miss both of them). 

But yes, for this reason, despite owning a very powerful computer, do not own Mass Effect 1 or 2 on PC... because playing it on my xbox with a 50 inch plasma is so much more rewarding.  I'm playing SWTOR right now on PC, and as cool as seeing the worlds is, it isn't like seeing them on my plasma.  And I have dual 23 inch monitors for my PC.  But not even close to being the same.
