Hey guys, It's Chowderhead. How we all doin'?

I just bought a Kinect, and have no idea what to do with it. I don't know voice commands, all the nuances, and all I know is Kinect Adventures is way better than Wii Sports.

If someone could help me out here (Don't say throw it in the trash) that would be great.

Also, as a joke, I told the Kinect "Xbox! Become Self Aware!" and it gave me an error message. It's trying to throw me off the trail, see?

I would post the collegehumour video about the kinect hack but I can't be bothered.

My favorite is walking past and going (if I remember correctly) "XBOX. SHUT DOWN. OK." or randomly telling it to cancel.

It can be fun I guess on the menu but the novelty wears off quickly. I'm tempted to go tell mine to divide 0.

My friends reckon it works best if you put on a faux-Chinese accent, for some bizarre reason.

Im still trying to think of a cool name for xboxlive, something that has a nice ring to it, but also, feels like a kick in the nuts if possible. Ideas?

Whereupon you take people with you instead of just dying solo.

You guys play BF3 on Xbox right?

Well that's something to get then. Iron Brigade wont last me till Armoured Core V.

And after seeing Kings post... BF3 is what will do that? No...

Pft. Have no fear KC.

I can make you look like a pro in BF3, in two simple steps!
1) You play as a Medic, with a Medpack and Defibrillator.
2) You stay in my squad, when I have 2x Frag Grenades as a Support.

We can be chuckin' grenades so often they'll think it's Easter!

No way man, I wont be no god forsaken medic. Im most likely going to be that crazy bastard surfing on the nose of a jet, with a lit stick of TNT in one hand, and a machine gun blasting into the air in the other. And this crazy train is heading strait at your grenade squad

For those of us with Kids, its actually quite fun stuff Sol.

As I'm what other folks would label a hardcore gamer, I appreciate we don't want dancing segiments in Halo 4. (Or do we ) and games I would consider solo or online multiplayer games focused with competive play such as most Shooters don't want much (ie none) in Kinect compatability. Judgement is seriously still out on Mass Effect 3.

However with family, or even friends around for a few hours, they past the time in a much more entertaining manner than breaking out Monopoly for the umptienth time.

Halo sucks, and I suck just as much at dancing. So no go there
