The 30-Post

Netflix has been getting some great use now that it streams over the 360. Sarah and I have knocked out the first season of 30 Rock and have a good chunk of the seconds watched as well. It's a great show that I am really enjoying. Hopefully I'll finish up the season before the next one starts on TV. I never thought I'd see anything that I actually liked Tracy Morgan in, but this takes the cake (Alec Baldwin is the absoulte MAN in this show though). If I can stomach working the Comcast DVR I think I'll add that and Conan to the to-be-taped list. Currently only Scrubs is one there, but the stupid thing is ridiculously finicky and tapes at seemingly random times and skips episodes on it's own whim. I miss good old Tivo.


When I grow up I want to be just like Jack Donaghy

The Netflix 360 Post

The Xbox 360 is pretty much my entertainment hub for everything besides Blu-Rays (that hat is worn by you alone PS3- I still love you) and it just got a lot more hubb-ier. With the latest Xbox update Microsoft added tones of new features including adorable little avatars of gamers, a new menu and party system and live Netflix streaming. I can add movies or shows to my DVD queue at Netflix then watch everything from a list on my Xbox. I now have full seasons of shows I never got the chance to catch at my fingertips, as well as a large library of movies I can watch without having to wait those pesky disks to show up in the mail. It’s really a terrific service and a nice perk to being a subscriber to both Live and Netflix. First on my list of must-see’s is 30-Rock, closely followed by seasons 2 and 3 or Heroes. Finally my comeuppance for having no television for the past two years! Time to play catch-up!

That’s me in avatar for the record. I know the limited customization doesn’t allow for rugged awesomeness quite on the level I was hoping for, but considering my options I think the nerd-ladies will be pleased.
