[PATV] Monday, July 1, 2013 - CheckPoint Season 3, Ep. 3: No One Can Hear You Pee
Yes the xbone keeps asking to be made fun of, but by this point it goes so far beyond just beating a dead horse to the point where the horse might as well be a Michael Bay movie.
I almost forgot about Checkpoint, I've been so deeply engrossed in Feed Dump's archive. Can't stop the news-tainment train!
@cB557: Then maybe you shouldn't watch the show? Just a thought. They don't claim to be 100% factual. In fact, they don't claim any percentage of "fact-ness".
I'm going to be honest - I don't see the problem with having Kinect's microphone being the standard voice chat mic for the Xbone. After all - the most popular SKU's of the 360 didn't come with a headset. The PS4 didn't come with a headset. The Wii U has a mic built into the GamePad but devs don't use it for voice chat.
I just don't see the issue with what they're giving you in this particular instance.
@jedithefreak When you say that you don't see a problem, are you setting aside the obvious problem that you will have to compete for mic time with other people in the room, your washing machine, the neighbor's dog and the game itself(including the other people engaged in voice chat)?
I'm calling it now: if the Metal Gear Solid franchise comes to the XBone, there will be a boss that calls out the voice command to turn off the console. The key to beating him will be to turn off the Kinect mic.
Xbox Live is a vile cesspit of racism, antisemitism, sexism, and deviant behavior... from 13 year olds. I don't want that shit coming out of my TV while my 3 year old is taking a nap. And on the flip side, I don't want to hear every damn thing that's going on in said 13 year old's living room.
If the Kinect shutdown your console every time it heard the words "n", "jew", or "fag", and keeping the Kinect on was mandatory for all online gaming (which honestly, it likely is), it'd be a done deal.
Oh Microsoft why can't you harness your powers of evil for good?
And Grahm will still play Halo 4 months before me? What of it? Some of us are busy doing other things and have a long to-do list. I'll catch Halo 4 when it's $20 new, probably.
I was watching a YouTube of a up and coming game called Lifted. It looked like a lot of fun but the real kicker is I could of sworn I heard Graham and Paul narrating in the background. I tried to confirm it at the game website with no luck. Is that really you guys (Graham/Paul) voicing the narration? I so, congratulations; if not, man those guys sure sound like you two.
If the Kinect shutdown your console every time it heard the words (---), and keeping the Kinect on was mandatory for all online gaming (which honestly, it likely is), it'd be a done deal.

You know, there's at least one sports game that will give you technical fouls for swearing if Kinect is connected (Kinected?). If they started issuing "time outs" for people being particularly abusive, we could probably condition the kids of this day and age to be model citizens.

"Haha."

It's frustrating sometimes, but its still worth it.
I wrote that down.

Or at least to go outside once in a while.
