Why do people binge watch TV shows?

Ginsu Victim:
We just binged Game of Thrones, 60 episodes in 52 days. Didn't think we'd get into it, watched one episode, and were hooked.

We'll binge a good show, but shows that don't hold our interest might take longer to get through (still on s1e5 of Daredevil).

Hopefully this mobo differs from the original and lasts longer. It took 12 days from my phone call to getting it back. The longest stretch was waiting for it to get back to them via fedex ground. They shipped me the box and shipped it back to me via fedex air which was only a day or two. It would be faster if you lived closer to Houston.

Luckily they didn't mess with the hard drive so I didn't have to reinstall Kodi and the Steam games I had on there.
It's strictly a console for me, so there isn't any personal info on it.

Finally convinced them to send me a replacement hard drive. Should arrive today. They kept trying to string me out telling me "you have to run the diagnostics and get us an error code so that we can send you the right replacement part". Telling them it can't complete the stupid tests because the hard drive is dying didn't seem to compute for them. Took a while but the new drive is coming. I'm hoping they put an OS on it. I really don't feel like doing a fresh Win8 install.

Is it still on Win8 or have you updated it to Win10?

This was a concern of mine since I'd updated to Win10.
They told me that doing the update converted my old Win8 key to a Win10 key and I could install Win10 using it.
When the alpha was returned to me, in the box there was a CD sized card with a Win10 key on it, but I didn't compare it to the key on the case.

ChadTower:

It was still Win8 because one of my son's favorite Steam apps doesn't run well on Win10.

Just got the drive installed and booted the machine with a net connection. This is so different than when I used to do desktop work. I'm not sure what it had on it already, seemed more basic than Windows, but it grabbed Win8 from someplace. Proceeded to get the appropriate drivers, Steam, Kodi, and everything else from the internet on its own. Here I was thinking I'd have to grab Win8 off Microsoft.com, make a bootable USB image, etc etc and spend all night babysitting the thing. I guess desktop recovery has progressed in the ten or so years since I last did it on a regular basis.

I think I will binge-watch Westworld when all of Season 1 is available.
