So, we have a Kinect, and I'm browsing Netflix via voice. Snuggles is next to me on the couch.

"Xbox, back to browse."

Snuggles: "BACK TO BROWSE!"

Me: "Shhh. Xbox, previous list."

Snuggles: "PLAY THREE!"

Me: "NOOOOOOO!"

Really didn't watch to watch "Girls Gone Dead" lol

Not a fan of the kinect. Although I do see the allure of the ninja fruit slicer game.

If I had that game would laugh maniacally the whole time I played and wear spandex in front of the window so the neighbors could ridicule me.

Aw, thanks Kobby! I'll split it with you if Mustard hit you too.




ROFL!!!


Husband: "Come on, Baby; I'm going to make my move..."

Kinect: "Did you say you would like to watch a movie?"

I never want anything that reacts to my movement or voice. I WANT BUTTONS AND LEVERS, GODDAMMIT!!

I agree. Call me old fashioned but I need a controller!

Yay! Once again I have a moderator on my side!

Imagine having your car react to your voice. Then imagine having a conversation with someone in it.

"So today I left work early and...."

-car turns left into a bus stop-

"Back up two feet while turning the wheels to the left"

-car executes order-

"Turn right out into the correct lane towards our pre-designated destination while avoiding other traffic"

-car executes order-

"As I was saying, I le.... I exited work early and..."

-car opens all doors at high speed to allow exit-


Oh, yeah. I want one of those Especially if it also talks back to you and works like Steam-based games with forced updates and whatnot!

And no, I´m not trying to act superior because I talked down on Steam again so please save it.

I nevr wanted the Kinect, and we both hate it and never use it. I only used it this time because I somehow lost the controller lol

If both of you hate it, why did you get it?

Edit: Oh, you mean the voice control, not the Kinect itself. D´oh.

I'm just waiting for the day that I can wirelessly connec to devices and control them with my mind. Transhumanism ftw!

I don´t trust my mind enough to have things controlled by it without the physical middle-hand. Literally

With my superior mind, however, I would instantly improve any device that I came into contact with.

I don't like anything voice activated. It can never understand what I'm saying, lol

Kobby: "Yo, ah wanna play some Oblivion, britch. Now get your arse in gear and put it on the screen!"

Kinect: "Huh? Er..."


Liz and mALX: "Would ya'll mind gittin' me that there Oblivion game on pleeyus?"


Kinect: "Huh? What?"

My accent is closer to yours and Liz's. I try to use Siri and wierd words come out, lol

Voice activated stuff never work!

It neve understands me, and that pisses me off

I, on the other hand, would activate Kinect like so: "Why, old bean, would you be so kind as to play Mass Effect? One feels in the mood for some space opera."

Kinect: "Of course sir, I shall start playing it immediately. I notice that it is time for afternoon tea; would you care for a hot beverage or a light snack?"

Mustard: "A cup of tea and a scone would be a capital accompaniment to my gaming."

Kinect: "Very good sir. Jam and cream for the scone?"

Mustard: "Why of course, old boy."

Kinect: "I shall do so at once, sir."

Mustard: "Good show."

Well, not everyone has an intelligent kinect, mustard

Especially not an intelligent British Kinect!
