Just curious to see what you guys are watching at the moment.

Mine are as follows,

1. LOST - Seen season 1&2 on release now rewatching up to season 4
2. The Wire (rewatching) - One of the best TV shows I've ever watched
 
I don't watch TV, right now my "TV show" is some ZBrush tutorials and then some Sony Imageworks behind the scenes videos.
 
I was watching Doctor Who but finished off with Series 4 recently.

Now it's on to Series 1 & 2 of Sherlock.
 
during the off season (when they go on break)

I watch all the previous episodes of

The Walking Dead
House M.D
The Big Bang Theory (my favorite)
Game of Thrones
Spartacus
 
Finishing season 5 of Mad Men, about two more episodes to go.

And I dvr Stossel every week. Usually it's worth it lol. Same for Late Late Show w Craig Ferguson - daily.
 
I just finished everything in the entire Stargate franchise. So, I currently don't know what to get into on Netflix - maybe Nikita.

Cable TV shows I try to make time for:
Breaking Bad
Common Law
Cover Affairs
Criminal Minds
CSI: NY
The Good Wife
The Glades
House MD
Leverage
The Mentalist
NCIS
NCIS: LA
Rizzoli & Isles
Teen Wolf
 
Just started up on Lost on bluray (beats the low quality torrents that first got me through the show). Up to series 4 of X-Files, and coming to the end of King of the Hill on my iPod.

Now that Episodes has finished I don't think there's anything left for me. Surely Doctor Who will be starting again soon.
There's a live show about Volcanoes on BBC1 (or 2) tomorrow that might be interesting, trying to do what to geography with what Stargazing Live did for spaaaaace.
 
Oh a weekly basis Suits, and I'm also making my way through Community and How I Met Your Mother.

Love these series, all very entertaining and not too heavy which suits my current mood.

I want to give Breaking Bad a shot which I might do when I get a bit more time.
 
I am watching too many shows!

Luckily, most series I follow do not air over the summer giving me plenty of time to catch up.

Currently, I am re-watching LOST and 24.

In-season, I am a big fan of Modern Family, Revenge, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Louie, and Survivor.

Weeds and Dexter are my true loves, however.

Why are you doing ZBrush for game dev? ZBrush is for high detail models, you're not going to use it for real time graphics.

I've been watching Zoids.

I use it to make high detailed models which I then export to Topogun for retopology and I generate normal, spec, and cavity maps from the high res ZBrush mesh using ZBrushes built in tools (or XNormal) and apply them to my retopologized mesh.

It sounds like a pain but its really not and is a great way to make awesome looking real time renderable models :D

Oh and I watched a TV show! Big Bang Theory. Now I know why my friends call me Sheldon 0_0


EDIT: If I ever manage to get the gun I'm working on finished I'll send you a step by step of what I mean above so you can see how I generate an object from start to finish.

Can't wait for The Walking Dead to start again. I'm also enjoying Falling Skies.

If you don't mind me asking- do you recommend Falling Skies? I only saw the 1st episode and wasn't hugly impressed- does the rest of the season have as much action or at least keep me caring about the character's well being?

Yeah, I think it is a great show. My wife and I really like it.
 
At work, so not watching anything right now. But otherwise - it's the nightly TdF broadcasts. :D

Eh...

If you're working solo, wouldn't it be more productive to do stylized graphics?

I'm not working on any games right now so this is all practice. I've been brushing up my CG skills since I'm finding it more enjoyable than all the programming and math of game development.

I still do the programming and such but I've been having too much fun making assets.
