I think this is great. I've got the Production suite which has most programs except Acrobat, InDesign and a couple others. If a project comes up where I do need InDesign I can rent it for a month or two and that's that.
Most arcades ran on tokens. I don't see how a $1 coin would have saved anything.
@Krakenstein:
4) Bono conquers whatever planet he lands on and comes back for revenge!

5) World War Bono!
After hearing the episode name - Who else expected a Eureka-style version of The Prisoner?
This would be a great kinect app for artists who want to teach themselves better anatomy.

Anatomy books are fine but can't show you how some muscles twist and react in many poses.

Damn, can't get "Dem Bones" out of my head now.
@wild homes loves you but chooses darkness!: Call the manufacturer. Ask for Slartibartfast. He will hook you up!
@DingoJunior: No, I haven't. Maybe cuz my side of the planet is facing the wrong direction half of every single f'ing day and I can't see it from that angle. Must suck for the other side if what you say is true.

@cinnamonster The Sun has been operating on "Low" for a while. [www.nasa.gov] With the record temperatures we've been having lately just imagine what it would be if it were on Medium or High.
@ithyphallus, 13382: I think it's b/c the Kotaku folk are more "hardcore-gamer" oriented and Kinect isn't aimed at that demographic. (as you quoted)

Personally I think Kinect looks like a lotta fun, it might push me towards finally buying a console.

I believe a large portion of the way virtual user interfaces will be developed in the future will be traced back to the Kinect. This is where developers will learn what works and what doesnt.
@psychiccheese: Streamed movies are compressed, probably down to around 600 to 800 megs. Not good for your cap, but it's not 9 gigs.
@Robotic-Richard-Simmons: Tempest looks like a tech hero who manipulates weather, you can make out "power pack" in the image. Anyway, other than the hair it's mostly the mask which makes her look like Jean Grey but JG didn't get that mask until Jim Lee redesigned her costume in the early 90s. 10+ years after Kirby created this character. I doubt Lee was ripping off Kirby either, there are only so many costume variations and accessories you can create. Booster Gold and Blue Beetle wear very similar masks and goggles.
Liked the show before but now it's much higher on my list! I'm glad to see the holobands do something more than those killing & orgy rooms. Thank the FSM they didn't use bullet-time. I always assumed it would be Zoe who would become the Cylon spartacus and start the uprising but now that could very easily be Tamara. If so then the first cylon war could be a brother vs sister thing for young Adama. How weird/cool would that be? The second war w/the religious cylons is more Zoe's thing. Almost kinda saddened that this is a prequel to BSG, it should have its own identity. I got a bad feeling the writers will eventually get strangled to death by BSG canon.
@xaotikdesigns: Go easy on them, they believe crackers and juice are flesh and blood too.
@schrodingers-katana: The problem is Lands tracing style. Especially when he reuses the same damn models face to trace for every female character over and over.
@JazzBri: That's pretty cool, I didn't know that. Thanks!
@Bokusatsu_Tenshi: The 2 screenshots are using the same model. DX11 has a sort of subdivision surfacing which smooths out the rough edges of polygons.
MKV subtitle support?! Awesome. Million Dollar question - Ive got my Blu-Rays ripped to ISO so I dont have to scratch them up. Will they play on this device? Even if they don't.. I might just pick up one of these.
So this is what coke looks like on Bizarro world.
It'd better not be the bible. The bible's like what, the best-selling book in all of mankinds history? And after only 30 years only one would be left? I say he's got a copy of 'To Serve Man'
I'd preorder if I had the cash, I hope this offer sticks around a while.
We Come from the Future
