WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
I’m the one covered in mud and poo because the pigs got out again and their house blew away in the wind last night (not pictured):
You’re all Mr Top-Right. Have fun. It certainly looks like fun.

I’m currently trying to clear the driveway of about 3 metric fucktons of damp slippery leaves. Then I need to clean the chicken coops.
Fortunately, no pigs to deal with, just a dog and 2 kids who aren’t much help. Think I might nip down the Co-op for some Bacon.
Where do I figure in your marketing plans, Microsoft, eh?
EH?
EH?

3,4 please. I can say that because Mrs Finge never reads this.

They seem to have associated some semi-racist jive talk with the only two black people in the photo.
Tut-tut Microsoft…

Which direction are you counting, Sponde Finge?
They all look like you could mash the pictures together so they’re all groping each other, second one especially, is this what Kinect’s for? Some kind of glorified chatroulette app?

Argh, Chatroulette.
Went on there expecting to see boobs, and after the third naked man masturbating I had to go and scrub my eyes with bleach.
I suppose there could be a new ‘Leisure Suit Larry’ game made for the Kinect…

The hack of the Kinect camera (it’s on Kotaku somewhere) shows just how imprecise and slow the technology is. You step in front of the camera and it creates the most basic stickman you’ve ever seen. No hands or feet. And even then it noticeably lags. So you can’t do anything subtle, everything must be body or limb gestures.
Videos of using the 360 menus show that in order to make a selection, you have to keep your hand in the same place for a second or two while a timer fills up. You can’t virtually ‘click’ things because you don’t have any hands.
The voice recognition is meant to be impressive, but it’s still slow. You say “XBOX” and about 1.5 seconds later it brings up an option bar. Am I the only one that thinks speaking to your computer is more hassle than just typing or clicking with the mouse? But then I suppose they don’t make these products with the 1.5% of the population that finds all verbal communication a hassle in mind.
And the IR projection can cause eye damage. Maybe, I have read IR can damage eyes and the Kinect beams it right at you so . . .

I’m closer to square B2. He looks awful; lack of sleep, not eating properly. Except this product isn’t for me. Because I’m not some fantasy demographic with a cavernous living room where I can wave my arms about like a twat without smacking the wall/sofa/other half.
So shove it, Microsoft.

Kinect’s not racist anymore:

I’m the one saying “I’m out of breath”, but they’ve cut off the rest of my sentence saying “can’t I just play something sitting down?” This was followed by “How am I supposed to have a wank with this bloody thing watching me all the time?”

loving it are you buzzing ?I am buzzing.
great fun this is the future of family entertainment
the future has arrived and I am out of breath
The things that came in mind are vibrator, family vibrator and after that incest. Is it only me or is Microsoft on the right bad to conquer the inbred south of US ?
