Kinect Is Your Mom…

…and the bitch won’t shut the fuck up about cleaning your room. Or at least, won’t stop making it a way to blame YOU for anything that goes wrong.

This is why having a glowing ball at the end of a wand may LOOK silly, but it’s actually better overall. If you played Tony Hawk’s Ride (we sorry bastards), you know how fucked up these req’s are. Hey MS, what about my checkerboard carpet?

To the extent that they again seem to be biting off more than they can chew as well as feebly trying to one-up the un-one-uppable, this just might the relevant formula:

Kinect = Microsoft Bob + Games For Windows

Have fun having fun with that.

Can I Get A Hell Yes?

Filed under: Games,Music Games — Tags: Games, SingStar — Saint Waldo @ 9:33 AM

SingStar is going full-online (finally) with a head to head battle mode. Time-to-Helicopter will likely be NIL, but, hey, if risk of crotch shots be the price we pay for progress, I say the toll is easily handled with reflexes and a palm to the face. In other words, you’re too damn slow if you just saw my penis…

I must say, the way this title has grown since release just amazes me. I thought the awesome might have stopped when they put carousel mode for PS2 versions in the PS3 version. I was wrong. Head-to-head, with a camera, will make my conversations with my Dublin singing mates just THAT much better. And recordable.

Oh, and if you don’t have SingStar but want to take on me (take on me), I’ll be home, with a red mic for you. And my pants on, I promise.

MMORPG Slot Filled

Filed under: Thoughts,WoW — Tags: Games, Thoughts, WoW — Saint Waldo @ 10:38 AM

So, I play WoW. If you’re interested, this is me:
Lupus
I play on Shattered Hand, currently with an endgame PvE guild, Cold Blooded. I used to be more PvP oriented (I started Panther Moderns in Shadowbane and we moved to WoW when it released), but the arenas pretty much killed that for me. I prefer larger scaled encounters, and even 5v5s are too cramped for my style. They just don’t make PvP for AoE mages, anymore.

My /played is approaching a full year. For those not in the know, that doesn’t mean I’ve had an account for almost a year. It means, quite literally, that I’ve spent almost 365 real days in elapsed real time playing this game. That’s roughly 80% of full “expert” status, according to some.

Yes, I just tri-meta’d grinding. Pretty neat trick, non?
