"It did remind me of [Kinect]. You kind of want to scream 'don't over promise these things'...My fear is that when you actually put the device on you're not as blown away as you should be"

I can't either.

What really should happen is that they put a similar amount of money into researching just awesome real world applications that you'll really use and that work robustly and smoothly and delightfully.

This town cannot accommodate the numerical totality of our combined mass.

That doesn't excuse him, mind you.

Griffork: I'm back! Just saw the trailer of Masters of Albion and it's a godgame! Immediately thought of this forum and decided to visit. Aug 21, 2024 7:51:22 GMT

Griffork: I think I've sent you a discord friend request (if I've done it right) Ba'al! Aug 21, 2024 7:53:46 GMT

Griffork: Sorry for being away for so long. The job I had at the beginning of the year seems to be having a full-blown melt-down (and I got caught in it). I'm now at a new place but the new job has been a very hectic learning experience (yay for being on R&D!) Aug 21, 2024 7:55:26 GMT

hardly: Dammit you beat me I wanted to be first to come back just to remark that he’s at it again. Aug 21, 2024 10:08:21 GMT

hardly: Anyway, just wanted to say hi for old times sake. Damn Peter Molyneux. Aug 21, 2024 10:09:55 GMT

Lord Ba'al: lol\ Aug 21, 2024 17:32:20 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Hi hardly! Hi Griffork! Aug 21, 2024 17:32:42 GMT

Lord Ba'al: He is indeed at it again. I read a few lines from some article saying he took something from this game and something from that game and something from yet another game and put it all together. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:06 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Then it mentioned there was this big hand mouse cursor, and I was like, nah, this will be shit. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:25 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Initially it was promising though, as it mentioned he had "put the old band back together". Aug 21, 2024 17:35:05 GMT

Lord Ba'al: By the way, I closed the whole forum for posting, due to the fact that all that was being posted was spam, but if anyone wants to make a post, I'm happy to open it up again, even if that's maybe just temporarily. Aug 21, 2024 17:36:02 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Or... post in the spammer section, and I can always move it elsewhere
