Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[E3 2011] MICROSOFT - Post-keynote wrap-up and discussion here!

Someone needs a new franchise/IP to work on...
I strongly suspect he was thinking 'Hoo boy that's a big bag of money they're offering me. Yes please thank you very much.'
WiiU: JamWarrior
Exactly.
Mutually beneficial for both parties, right there. It doesn't matter if Minecraft can run on any computer, there are leagues of gamers that don't touch their computer (or don't have one) for gaming.
Yeah that was inevitable. :^:

Because they showed kinect games at E3?
Nintendo Network ID: unclesporky
hahahahahaha
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.

Haha, does he not know what a headset is? Apparently headsets are now microphones!
Edit: Though I wonder if he's actually confirming that a headset works, or just saying "you could... but we didn't." Because if it supports the headset, lol? What is the point of even saying Kinect support there?
I don't know, if I woke up heavily injured and hanging from the ceiling, and I had to get out while people were chasing me, I'd be babbling constantly.
What are they doing to it?
it sounds like one woman recording lines in a booth and another woman going through these actions and gestures on screen.
because that's how they did it. it's disconnected, unrealistic, and unfortunate. other older games do it better and now everything else is a disappointment in comparison
and Operation Flashpoint: Red River code to trade/sell
and Halo: Reach code
and Portal 2 code
why would you not mention this during your press conference
According to Edge, it was all temporary voice work
Jesus no kidding. That's pretty huge.
It is astounding to me that Microsoft can introduce a feature that is simultaneously AWESOME and will help prevent piracy.
Really? I thought it was sort of the definition of a success. Everyone expected it to not do well and it made them a ton of money.
Really though, your post is bordering useless and spam, I have no idea what you are talking about.
I don't know, Best Pun of Show in my opinion.
In the interest of having rational discourse, I've fixed up your post a bit to reflect how you probably actually feel.
I get the feeling that the only people who don't rage against Kinect are the ones who understand the concept of families, or having one. Yeah a lot of the Kinect stuff is kid appealing, but isn't that the main point? Yes, they push the unit on anyone buying a 360 currently, that's the wrong kind of market-maneuver. But the option of not having it is still present.
Games not requiring Kinect still exist, and they are still being made.
Kinect functionality being added to things like Mass Effect 3 does not mean NEEDING Kinect. It's optional support. If you want to get into a slippery slope argument, go for it, but if the slippery slope argument was true they would've done it already since many games are going whole-hog on Kinect controls.
So I dunno. I'm not asking people to like Kinect (shit, I'm not interested in having one still), all I'm asking is to chill out with the really insane shit people say. "Epic fail," and other shit like that, is pretty much "I have nothing of interest to say." And people were going nuts in IRC, multiple people repeating "Video games are dead" or other comments like that. It's insanity. It's a chant that's been rant for like two console gens now, but video games are still around and still good.

Epic "flail." I chuckled.
I don't disagree that it made money, but anybody who knows anything knows the Kinect is a joke.
I'm waiting for the day when I can simply upload games directly into my brain, but until then I'll stay on the couch.
It's obvious Microsoft designed the Kinect to steal sales from the Wii. The current excitment surrounding it seems relatively similar to Hollywood's 3-dimensional movies.
I admit, Avatar looked pretty good in 3-d. Maybe something good will be designed for the Kinect, but don't expect me to be jumping around on rabbits any time soon.
Well, you're right. Pretty much ALL family-oriented stuff is hilarious to me, not just Kinect.
Tomorrow I'm gonna do a run on all these threads to start putting in this sort of info.
