XBox Kinect

[Shlup]

So I got a Kinect for Christmas. It's tits.

My trainer on Your Shape is cruel though. She's all like "Squat loweeerrrrrr!!!" AHHH!! My thighs are warm.

I played Kinect Adventures at a friends house and man was that a work out, but surprisingly responsive and fun!

Kinect looks and sounds like a lot of fun, but not something I'd wanna spend 150 euros on. That dance game looks pretty cool.

Awesome. Guess I'll stick with Mario Kart. xP

My buns are sore from yesterday.

The game tests whether you're too stupid to understand, and if so, it auto-steers for you. It was made for Americans, after all.

@Shlup: Do you have dance central on it?

[Shlup]

My roommate has it. I just hooked the thing up yesterday so I haven't borrowed it from him yet, just been playing Adventures and Your Shape.

I watched my lil brother play this at someone's house about a week ago. I wanted to try it myself.

It's funny how some people are just too cool to play video games without holding a controller. BJ will play Will Sports all day but would barely try an obstacle course on Kinect.

I hate the Wii sports and Move and Kinect. Do I win?

So what are you workouts like?

[Shlup]

Your trainer and you hang out in a pretty area with rose petals floating around and you do a lot of squats.

Also, there is a whack-a-mole type game with your feet that I like. And a game where you hold a board (but not really) and balance as many falling bricks as you can. I like that one the best but I suck at it.

[NorthernChaosGod]

This sounds entertaining. You should post of a video of said workouts. :tongue:

[Shlup]

Yeah. Sure. Totally gonna happen.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Awesome, can't wait.

These are pretty damn cool.

Dude. I so want to play Mario with Kinect. :omghey:

[NorthernChaosGod]

I think the one thing that can make me change my mind about this is being able to play a FPS. I guess the Mario thing is cool too. :p

Dude seriously, why does everyone pull this video of Huxley up everytime theres a thread about Kinect. It's kinda getting old now....Though laughing at Huxley is never old...

[Depression Moon]

Huh, did he really get 3rd place without even moving?

[LunarWeaver]

There's not enough actual games to interest me about it yet. I'll dive in when I can lightsaber battle properly or use it to transform (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQRPQQ4uPLk). Something like that.

My trainer on Your Shape is cruel though. She's all like "Squat loweeerrrrrr!!!" AHHH!! My thighs are warm.

I was like 'how does the computer know you are doing quarter squats?'

Then I realized that it should know the distance the Kinect thing is moving up and down. Bwahaha Mandee is cheating ^_^

ps I have a wiifit but I never use it bc the exercises are too easy. I want different games!

[Shlup]

You do know that Kinect is a camera system that sits on top of your TV, right? You're not holding anything. It knows I'm doing squats because the camera is on me; the Kinect is not moving up and down.

Kinect is a camera. This is how it tracks movements.
