This game has achievements, and OH MY GOD

So not even mildly inebriated, while playing the rotation mode, or whatever the hell you call the mode where the game modes cycle, I thought I'd take this big blanket and lay it out on the living room floor. Then I flung the blanket up and after a few tries, the game picked up the blanket as a person and balloons started fucking flying. That was awesome.
Subsequent to that was the lava level. There's an achievement for being totally immersed in lava. That's not actually that hard, as you could totally lay down on the floor and trigger it. However, apparently flapping the blanket about meant the game thought I was the blanket and I got the achievement for flapping the blanket around on the floor. AWESOME. Also, all of the achievements are hilariously worded, and the ruckus that results from trying to a) find your controller, b) turn it back on and c) get to the achievements menu each time a new one triggers is hilarious, especially because it totally makes the game go crazy.

Also, do the worm yo...

If ever there was a game I'd get a Kinect for, it'd be happy Action Theatre.

Gunstringer is actually a pretty awesome game...though sometimes I wish I could play w/ a controller just to give my elbow a break.

I rented that game and got bored of it right quick. Maybe like 2~3 hours in. The atmosphere and the story were good enough but playing the game just became a chore. The moment to moment gameplay just didn't click with me and I felt like I was playing a super toned down child of eden -_-;; I agree with you about the controller bit. If I could have used a controller, I may have finished the game just for the sake of the other things but it asked too much of me to power through.

I wanna try out this happy theater but first I need to clean up my living room again =P

I'm just sitting here thinking about how much blow Scotty Too Hotty must have demolished in the past decade.

I thought you said you were not even mildly inebriated.
