Video chat is so true
ReplyThis look's awesome... actually i just want to kick endangered animals in the face, but still this allows me to do this.... I watched the full 20 minutes of the thing and i was very scared during that. Looked all terrible... the video conversation looked like a pair of homeless people were pulled off the streets and read lines one after another pausing for three minutes between each line.... plus when the girl moved her arm onscreen the girl playing her didn't also you can tell in absolutely no way was that actual game play except for 2 of the games showed... what were they thinking.
ReplyIn short this is an overhyped piece of technology that will cost way to much and be a total piece of junk with barley any games mad for it A.K.A: The eye-toy for the ps2 revamped
yeah, i just hope Microsoft doesn't get too much more into this "casual gaming" shit.
Nintenfags are really butthurt, aren't they??? It's not about who gets it first, It's about who gets it better!!! At least with Kinect you don't have to wank a horrible hospital-white dildo to play games that where way much better in the previous console.
Reply Hide All See All 15 RepliesNintendo put the f*g back on games and Sony and "Microscorch" want a piece of the decadence too!!!
Whoever made this photoshop onslaught is a big douchebag because only one can play at abusing animals!!! but hey! maybe he could get a job as game designer in Nintendo anyways!!!
Down, boy.
Well for one I don't even own a Nintendo, and haven't for about 10 years.
#2, I own an xbox 360, and Kinect is a joke, but not as big of a joke as you.
Yeah... My roommate and I where talking about this and he just showed me something called the "Activator" which is probably the first step of the collapse of Sega and now I see how this can fail... fail miserably. Maybe MS can save itself at least some shame marketing this to girls between the ages of 7 and 17, girls between the ages of 7 and 17 with ADHD on lots and lots of sugar.
@franciscojavier: Can you say that again without all the flaming Microsoft fanboyism?
So...what does Steve Ballmer's jizz taste like?
^ Damn it, I really should said that instead!
Really it's just that Knicet is missing its traget audience. They are many years late, and this thing costs. Wii comes now for the price of 199 USD. XB360 comes 250 USD plus 150 for Kinect (Amazon preorder).
When you try to sell a peripheral clearly intended for casual gamers you must keep in mind that
1. No casual gamer has two home consoles
2. They will often choose the one that costs little
3. Most people who want Wii have bought it (I'm exception, I'm still intending to buy it).
it seems that you're a little more butthurt than nintendo fanboys are, either because the kinect failed so hard or because you're being fucked in the ass by the long dick of microsoft. I don't think microsoft is a bad company, they're better than sony, but when microsoft fans hate on nintendo, that's when they become a problem.
Now how about you go and put back on your leather thong like a good slave before Bill Gates comes back and sees what a naughty boy you've been and has to "punish" you again.
The abusing animals part was definitely the best one...
Fool! The Playstation Move will end you all with it's clearly superior technology and not at all dildo-like appearance! MWA HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
wow, so many xbox fanboys in denial
I like turtles. Actually, all of the consoles have their strong points and weak ones. I hope that the new motion products measure up to the Wii. Granted, the Wii games aren't as polished,but those games were intentionally designed to work with the technology. So at least the Wii has that going for it.
It's like politics. You will always have people like "SanFranciscobuttplug" here that immediately jump to calling people names because their opinion doesn't align with his (or hers). By the way - nice grammar and syntax. You sound like Yoda with mild retardation on top of the speech impediment.
That said: My only complaint is that you have to buy each individual console to live-network on the same games. I have a Wii and one friend has a PS3 and another a Xbox360, can't play games online together. Bummer.
Troll you I can, yes! he he! When 6 years old you reach, sound as mature you will not!
I respect Microsoft more than Sony (I like Nintendo the most because of the wide choice of genres and that they make their own games) but I have to say the playstation move is much better than the Wii and the kinect. I still wish they would have at least TRIED to make it look unique from the Wiimote.
Wii was a joke. Just a gimmick, which happened to do very well, made Nintendo a crapload of money. They announced not too long ago their new system which was long overdue. They need to spend some of those moneybags from the Wii on a system to compete with 360 and ps3. I currently own all three systems, but the 360 is definitely at the top of my list:
#1) The Wii sucks for gamers, while I did halfway enjoy Twilight Princess and a few classic mario titles, 3 or 4 games per console is not a high enough ratio to warrant said console. If that didn't make sense what I'm saying is that Nintendo didn't have enough good games for someone other than a casual gamer to enjoy, thus making the money I spent on the system not worth it (even though it was less than 360 or ps3)
#2)Ps3 has comparable games to the 360, will probably last longer than 360 due to the better hardware. However the online network is much less user friendly and the online download/install times are unacceptable. I don't consider myself a casual gamer, been playing games since the early 90s, but the psn is difficult to navigate. Especially in light of the easy navigation on the 360.
#3) 360 is not faultless by any standards, I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, but it is overall the better buy than either the ps3 or the wii. Even with blue ray capability for the ps3 and better motion controls for the wii. 360 is best available console for anyone other than a casual gamer.
there was a similar but much better comic like this on another site.

no, because VGCats isn't funny.
Take that back before i shove a rat flail up yo ass
still better than anything cody could strain his feeble little head into
ReplyThis was lame as shit. When are these topics going to be good?
ReplyVery funny.
ReplyI want to bone that girl on the exercise bike. There's no broads like that coming into Gleason's Gym :-(.
Reply Hide All See All 5 RepliesBecause they know that you just want to bone them.
Burn! Calling them broads probably does not help either.
I see them there all the time. Maybe you if you stopped fist pumping or icing your bros you would notice them.
Also, I win.
There are* no broads like that
I lol'd
ReplyIt's the 360 copying the PS2 Eye Toy and copying Wii games with Kinect games like "Kinect Sports" just look how similar the game boxes are I dare anyone to. I find this hilarious in hindsight for the the 360 by the "Following the Leader".
Reply Hide All See All 6 RepliesMy God! You're the first person to ever notice this and point it out! Please, sir, have a cookie, and take a rest from your exhausting mental calisthenics.
@sweetalker And how!!!
but, but....its "revolutionary"! The man on the picture said so!
Personally, I'd have said "have THIS cookie" to further suggest it's not just ANY cookie, but a cookie you had reserved for yourself, or perhaps one only rewarded for particularly heroic exploits. :O
I f*****g loved the itoy. That thing was my childhood XD
@ Cheeko--kind of like Steve Jobs said the iPad was "magical." The only revolutionary thing I see about Kinect is how many television screens will be broken due to errant feet and hands, and how many siblings or friends will be in the hospital due to broken facial bones. It's revolutionary I say!
LOL!
ReplyThe xbox video chat one was good, and the guy kicking the baby tiger was awesome!
I love how people like pretending to be fortune tellers when it comes to technology like this, and think they speak for everyone.
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesI love how people take this stuff seriously.
Have fun flailing around in your living room fag.
They are certified fortune tellers. This is what will happen. Take it seriously.
I think I've seen that chart before. It was the epitome of banality and laziness, but to go far enough to actually reuse the lame image for another crapticle? You just hit anew low, cracked.
ReplyI agree that this is spot on, although not front page material. What's more important is how lame the person saying 'meh' is. Welcome to 15 years ago.
ReplyThe chart is dead on. People are really short-sighted thinking they're going to enjoy this for more than 5 minutes per game unless they have kids. They're putting so much time into a Forza game for it when I highly doubt anyone wants to have their arms raised in the air fake-steering a car for multiple races one after the other.
ReplyThe chart was a little funny. But like the reader below me pointed out, this is nowhere near front page material. Very low quality.
ReplyI see Cracked is REALLY lowering their standards for front-page topic pages. Shame.
ReplyIt used to be there would actually be words and stuff, but oh well.
The chart's about a 5/10, nothing special. Meh.
Well, this chart was pretty good, but that world cup one was totally fuck-tarded and didn't belong anywhere near the front page.
Love the chart. That body-motion control nonsense blows my mind. Back in the day when Sega made "The Activator" no one bought it not because it didn't work, it's because anyone who works for a living doesn't want to spend their nights jump-kicking the air.
ReplyWow, this was just pretty pointless. It's not like videochat on the xbox is chatroulette so unless you have friends who show their dicks then you aren't really going to see any.
ReplyThe only really true thing about this "article" is the voice operated menu if you have douchebag friends.
indeed.and i would be a d******d friend the first time and then it would be old
I laughed when I saw the Kinectimals one.
