  2. WE'RE ALL LIGHTING UP
  3. Flying...fucking...avatars in space? Jesus Christ, Microsoft.
  4. Upside down lady again! Bouncing a ball. Upside down.
  5. Man, this is just...what.
  6. Screens coming down, unveiling, like...fifteen floating rooms with families dancing in them?
  7. Picture slideshow thing, from one annoying tween to the other. Now threeway video chat....
  8. Video chat with stupid tweens. But, hey, video chat, I guess.
  9. Hip hop dancing demo. Very boy band.
  10. Creepy tiger touching from the girl.

  14. Mever mind. This one IS live. Beach volleyball. It's all right. Real Wii Sports type stuff.
  15. Hurdles, then javelin, then...bowling.
  16. Most of us are under the opinion these demos are NOT live.
  17. This doesn't look as awesome. Running in place, lawl.
  18. Boys v girls, 2 v 2, in....track and field
  19. Also tai chi. Program checks for proper joint and position alignment.

I've been following this one.

  1. Dollars to donuts, that Star Wars lightsaber battle is a tiny minigame and not a full adventure title.
  2. I am still holding on to a tiny shred of hope that tomorrow's press conference will reveal a killer Kinetic app for the hardcore gamer.
  3. Quote from @dannytrs "is anyone walking out of here saying that was awesome? I have to have that?"
  4. Video chat. Hmm. When Jobs showed that it seemed so cool. But now...
  5. Simon says style dance instructor game. Whitest kid in America demoing it.
  6. Yes, Kinect does nintendogs, too. But it is a tiger! Extreme!
  7. Minority report interface for netflix et al. I can get behind that.
  8. I do not want to pantomime sports that use equipment. Do not want.
  9. Ugh. Wii sports with an Olympic theme in Kinect. Nothing exciting about this.
  10. Obligatory Kinect fitness app. Yoga. Please go back and show more star wars.
  11. Lightsabers in Kinect. I want to be excited!
  12. Racing game, rafting game... You thought wii made you sweat? Kinect is made to kick your jumping waving leaning ass.
  13. Crazy!!! Upsidedown family!!!
  14. Ok this is pretty badass. All our ponchos lot up green.
  15. Kameo 2?!
  16. Thank god! They raised the nets and things got awesome!
  17. You know what wod make this event better, Microsoft? Anything.
  18. Microsoft now has a standing army. http://twitpic.com/1wmt85
  19. I'm trying not to be frustrated here, but I'm behind a freakin net!!! What the fuck is going on?! @dannytrs has given up and playing iPhone
  20. The view from my seat. Yep, those are all people I was standing in line with. http://twitpic.com/1wmr02

Jeff Gerstmann's quote during the Kinectimals demo was hilarious:

JeffGerstmann: RT @GI_AndyMc: Now I know why Robbie Bach quit.

Bit over the line, but c'mon. 



Alright, to me, Kinetic is starting to look like crap, but at least the slim is nice, lol. Is it really 200 bucks?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
