Hulu?

The Escapist + Hulu. It would be awesome to be able to flip through Hulu Desktop, sitting in the comfort of our own beds and armchairs as we browse the content. I know that there are text articles and forums and the point is to get the traffic on your site. I get that, but when it comes down to it, we're here for the videos.

This idea of yours is SO great that you should not have to work again, ever. If ever you did. You should be fully funded for life for as long as you live. It would not surprise me one bit if the Escapist mods were all nudging one another right now, saying how the OP has what it takes to become, yes, a mod himself! Put a MF feather in your cap, dog.

Well, for starters, the escapist is international and Hulu is US only, also, people are here in no small part for the forums, so, in short, no it's a stupid idea. In fact, I don't feel stupid covers it, it is possibly the single worst idea I've ever heard there is not one good idea in there, please try again when you have a better idea (well I suppose any idea is better than that one) I like the escapist how it is, and if you're too lazy to come here and watch videos, then don't come here, simple as that.

Most of us don't get Hulu, plus its a bad idea.

What's wrong with Hula hoops? The ones that light up are fun!

 

[Omikron009]

I don't get to experience the joys of hulu because I'm Canadian. Boo hoo.

 

[Space Spoons]

The day the Escapist becomes a website more focused on videos than the insightful magazine that put it on the map is the day I stop visiting.

 

[dududf]

Terrible idea.

Also a very USA central thinking there bub.

Not everyone is American dontcha know. >_>

 

[Candrian]

All i know of Hulu is that the bloody thing won't let me watch the videos my American friends have linked me just because I believe football should involve using your feet. So this could be a really good idea... if it wasn't US only.

 

[feather240]

...No... Have you seen some of those Hulu comments? It's not as bad as you-tube, but still.

If that's the dumbest idea you've ever heard, you doubtlessly don't go to American public school.

"The American Revolution ended in 1781? But wasn't that the war with the battle of Pearl Harbor, and that was in 1874."
All while sounding smug, and like some kind of know-it-all. Sigh...

The Escapist actually is featured on a streaming video service of some kind, there was a news article about it a while back. Boxee maybe? I'm sure you could find the article if you search.

Anyone had trouble with finding Canada or Russia?

Nope, and your hat's stupid.

Just why would we want to combine anyway? You can just use tabs can't you. It sometimes messes up the player for me though, but I'm usually getting popcorn or something well I let it buffer.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I love hulu.

I can watch Scrubs online without feeling like the Hamburgler.

That said, I could easily just switch to my other tabs and put on some Escapist Content. So it seems a bit pointless.

If I was American, I wouldn't be so against it, I live in England so I wouldn't be able to use it.
