Ruined for Life

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

Urge has ruined me. I am now even more of an immediate gratification person. I have now cancelled my Netflix and Gamefly subscriptions for Vongo and Gametap. I definately don’t think this is an optimal choice for everyone in that compared to Netflix, Vongo’s selection is currently very limited and Gametap only has older video games, but being that both Netflix and Gamefly were only satisfying my “I am bored, what shall I entertain myself with now” holes in my life, I found that I never had what I needed when I wanted it. I watch movies way to quick, probably 3 or 4 a day. I had the Netflix 3 movies account and basically I was getting one set of movies a week and then had to wait. While I probably could have prolonged my movies by spreading them out such as every other day, I don’t see the point in paying 25 bucks a month when there is a 10 dollar option for 10 movies a day if I want. The Vongo selection is currently very limited and I am hoping/expecting that the library grows, but right now it totally meets my “let me pick a movie and watch it right now” need. Concerning Gamefly, I actually ran out of games on my queue and didn’t see anything else I wanted. Gametap lets me play a kerbillion games old and new and I can turn around crap games much quicker.

Other things I am currently in love with are my Oral-B’s Pulsar toothbrush and my Ambient Orb that I will configuring to monitor my server and display via my Logitech Quickcam Orbit MP webcam. All of this configuring will make me very thirsty so I will enjoy ice cold water from my new Hamilton Beach water dispenser.
