Meme understood.
Tim Schaeffer, you are a genius! Also, really cool too.
That's the most entertaining Quick Look I've seen lately.
i totally had passed on watching this video and the game wasnt even on my radar until i decided to watch it. SOLD. i bought the game on a second tab through the XBLA site before the video even finished. smart marketing to targeted audiences WORKS. also my gf will finally play a kinect game with me and not get self-conscious or annoyed by broken tracking 4 minutes in? MOAR UFF DIS PLEEZ.
I was very disappointed when I bought this game, ran to the ball pit and saw no giant bombs or will balls. :C
All I could say during this was "YES YES YES YES" with the biggest smile on my face. This should be great while heavily inebriated.
I am seriously going to need to try this with the kids at the kindergarten were I work.
This comes out on my birthday! I now know what were doing at my party :D definite day 1 buy for me.
Yawn. I doubt anyone here would give a shit about this mildy-interactive screen-saver compilation if T.S.'s name wasn't attached on it and he didn't provide GB with an in-person demo...
Disappointed by the reaction to the Will Smith balls. I came here just to watch it after seeing ILM. Guess they were all-laughed-out.

Man Tim sorta' looks like a smaller version of Ryan.
It's wierding me out.
I know right? I was thinking that during the whole video.
For some reason Schaffer always looks like he's creeped out by every word in an English thesaurus. I'm sure he was baited into coming by the alcohol. Looks like a fun time for all.
Yep. Double Fine just solved it. Kinect can only reach its potential if developers make games specifically to utilize the sorts of things that Kinect inherently does well -even if those things were in no way originally intended by Microsoft-, rather than trying to force it to kinda sorta half work at mimicking controller based gameplay styles with motion control.
I was just about to complain that they weren't making the obvious Terminator reference, and BOOM, there it is.
From all the descriptions, I didn't imagine it would actually be this fun.

I love how Double Fine makes a tech demo and people go crazy over it.
HURR YEAH IF IT'S ON KINECT IT MUST NOT BE FUN AT ALL
You and I both know that if something like this came from a small unknown company people would trash it to no end. Whether Kinect is fun or not has nothing to do with it, I don't know how you managed to conclude that from my comment.
It's been stated by other users previously in the thread: Nobody except Double Fine would make a game like this and come at it with such a brazen attitude towards the shortcomings of the hardware they're developing on, such a degree of self-awareness and their standard lack of seriousness towards their product. I hold no real love for anything Double Fine, but this looks interesting at least, and they're coming at it on a price point that sounds right with the perfect mentality that this is not a game, this is a set of activities.
And they managed to drag a laugh out of me with a simple achievement name, so, there's that.
I HATE DANCING!
I always thought that I would have to live the rest of my life in sadness and rejection. But now I can dance without having to dance??!!
TECHNOLOGY, HERE TO IMPROVE LIVES!

Tim Schaeffer looks like Ryan with less facial hair.
Also, I'm the editor of most of the TV commercials they made fun of at the beginning :P
That means you must die.
you know im not that impressed with the Kennett stuff some of its ok but this now this looks innovative and a hell of a lot of fun...
If there was ever something that was absolutely necessary wherever alcohol is possibly involved...
I just really wanna cry at how awesome this shit is. Just goes to show that Tim Schafer is still one of the greatest minds in video games today.

God, is it just me or does Tim really look like a muppet?
I really started noticing that after the Sesame Street game.
This.
