Game Over
People always say, why a Roku? Why not a PS3 or a Wii? They stream video and play games. Those people don’t know about my past. They don’t know that I’m a recovered World of Warcraft addict.
I’ve learned, in my ongoing sessions with Dr. Krylon, that it’s important to know your own strength of will. And I’m just not strong enough to look under my television, see a game console with a CD-rom slot, and not be able to insert a WoW disc. Maybe someday I will be, but it’s going to take time and effort. Also, maybe medication to numb the muscles in my thumbs, making the game impossible if I even try to play, but Dr. Krylon doesn’t know if that’s necessary.
So, anyway, until I’m ready, it’s the Roku life for me. And really, it’s not all that bad. After all, it can stream Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Instant Video (all in up to 1080p!) on my TV using my high-speed internet connection. But what really counts is that it helps me lead a healthy, MMOPRG-free lifestyle. Instead, I can fill my time by just watching movies like Mazes and Monsters, Darkon, or The Wild Hunt.
And sure, maybe I watch these movies over and over, and maybe I’ve memorized every character's every move, and maybe, just maybe, I hold a video game controller and hit the buttons at just the right time so it feels like I’m controlling them. But hey, everyone’s got their own quirky movie ritual right?

For HD video, we recommend 5 Mbps (if you’re not sure what your speed is, go to www.speedtest.net and run the simple test). Note that not all content partners enable HD or 1080p streaming video.
