@Ditchdigger: I believe the kinect can only recognize 2 people at a time.

@Orin: A step forward for the industry does not necessarily mean a step forward for the types of games that videogame enthusiasts already enjoy. It could mean increasing the total consumer base, which wouldn't apply directly to anyone who reads this blog.

@TheRealDoshu: Thanks! It does kind of look photoshopped now that you mention it. That's pretty funny. Here's another angle.

@Che-poodle: I can't wait for the new Zelda!

I finished my Link papercraft hat. I made it for fun and not Halloween, but I might consider it for next year.

@samuriwerewolf: Thanks for trolling.

@Kryptolojik: I don't know if the issue is present on online play. I don't really play Rock Band online, I prefer having my friends over to play.

@DrakeDatsun: The spaces for on-screen controller spaces could be an issues, but it's not unsolvable. They could have the singer's controller area on the top of the screen, which would make sense given the layout of the game when playing.

@dondi203: I hate hearing people say that their vote won't matter or they don't like anybody who's running, so they won't vote. The whole point is that even if you don't care what the outcome is of that particular election, future candidates will focus on the issues that matter to the people who vote. So, if more…

I got the Rock Band Keyboard for my birthday yesterday and I'm psyched about it! However, when I went to try it out with my friends, it said that we had to play in "All Instrument Mode" because it can't keep track of 5 instruments. As far as I can tell, it means that the singer doesn't count (and they don't use a…

@RambaRal: This might not be helpful because it's not out yet, but I highly recommend getting Slam Bolt Scrappers when it comes out. It was one of my favorite games at PAX.

@WhatTheFrag: Great deals. I wait for games to go down in price, and then I wait for them to go on sale, so I get most of my games for super cheap. I don't mind having a decent backlog though because it lets me choose a game based on my mood, and only keep playing what I really like.

@a t o m i c: Do you display a high level of professionalism 24/7?

This is actually tempting me considering that Alan Wake is one of the games that I would get a 360 to play. It's nice to see them choosing actual exclusives for their bundle.

@Communist Pope: I drool over the 27-inchers when I'm in the Apple store, but alas, I don't think one of these is in my future. I just can't justify it for my needs.

@cool8man: Whether or not it's a good deal depends on what you use it for. If you are using it for what would be free on other devices, then it's a terrible deal.

@ronaldmonster: I guess I associate HSN along with infomercials as TV "filler" that I watched as a kid at odd hours when nothing else was on. It seems like something that belonged in the past, but that could just be me.

If they are investing that much in permeating the casual market, I think they have a good chance of succeeding, but the X-Box Gold subscriptions are going to really hurt them in the long run.

@grumpydorf: I don't know why, but it fascinates me to see how the the gaming industry reaches out to the general population.

@Frightening Marmalade: Holy crap! That was fast. It took me a couple of months to get to the vault. Of course, given that I only played split-screen, and that I started a different character for each friend that I played with (so that we would be at the same level), it makes sense that it took a while, but even…
