Hah, and my mom mocked me for all those years of holding my arms out and pretending to be an airplane!

People who bought a Kinect: How many games have you actually picked up for it? Seriously. Or rather, have really been mouth-agape-wowed by any of them? Because I'm pretty sure that if Microsoft would hire these creative, talented, developers, and if they made things like this for my living room, my mouth would be agapin'.
It's flabbergasting that MS would label Kinect pre-release as a revolution, when officially, it's far from it. Hire these guys Microsoft. Do what you said. Don't break it.

@Shadowbender Just give them time, at least wait till after the first year or two before you talk about the games. It's kinda like in 2006 every one was screaming about ps3 not having games. and look at it now. It could very well be the same with Kinect.

I am a father of 4 ,and the "mouth-agaping" moments for my family have happened frequently, but honestly more from the fun we are having playing the games, than the actual games. In the 35 years of my life that videogames and books have been my absolute favorite forms of escapism; I, have to, rate Kinect as the most fun video game esperience I have had the pleasure to share with my family. Moreover, Every hack that I see, gets me excited; because, I know if i can view it, so can all the developers. Am I ready something more adult and compelling? I sure am, but I am patient. I realize that a revolution is often sparked by a singular act, event, person, or even a device, but doesn't truly get underway until others take up the mantle and join. I am excited for whats to come in the next few years, but I have been that way since the commodore vic 20, and those infernal cassette tapes.
Oh did I mention I bowled a 244 from my manual wheel chair, and 227 from my power chair? Dad smoked the kids, great times, great times.

I've bought Kinect Sports and a very glitch filled game called Game Party, seemed like solid mini games but they failed. Even the menus are hard to navigate. Also just rented (learned my lesson) the Carnival Games and its pretty amusing. But no, no games are that amazing. Just "fun." Child of Edin looks like the first actual creative game for it. And I am looking forward to the rumored Gears game.

I love what people are doing with the Kinect, excluding those developing games for it.

That's cool, but who really going to want to control it like that? Give me an old fashion R/C remote.

Agreed. Stuff like this is interesting but not at all practical.

I'm jealous, Tom Zickel. Stop taunting me with your expensive toy that I can't afford.

I want to see what happens if the controller sneezes and quickly covers his/her mouth. Would the drone have smashed into the whiteboard? Lol.
