Quick Look: Body and Brain Connection

Looks kind of fun to me.

" Giantbomb's crew proves once again they don't give a shit about video games, and have no clue about modern systems.  "Durrrr, why this not wurk like super nintendo!?"  Read a fucking tutorial, or a kinect sensor manual, or figure out some basic mathematics before embaressing yourselves *again* and giving out false impressions of the technology again.  Just do it, just once, once ever.  Figure it out.  You're supposed to be a great website about video games but everybody on the staff takes turns being total ignorant tools. "

alot of whining going on - thanks for the quick look gb

Isn't the recognision problems just that it's choosing the one who is closest to the screen as player 1? 
So, if the one not playing were to step out of view for the Kinect, everything would be okay?

Video has been messed up for a few days now, I think they messed up/adjusted something in their encoding method.

Alex and Brad continue to work really well together. Much better than Jeff or Ryan with Brad, usually.

glad to see some people phoning their jobs in in this kind of economy
 
it's so inspiring

User error.
 
Did games writers in the 90s comment on games while choking themselves with the controller and wondering why it wasn't working?

I think maybe you guys should read the tutorials. It would end up taking less time.

Same here, guys. With latest Chrome dev build and Flash versions. "

I literally JUST updated Chrome, but after watching the video. Wonder if it'll help... "

I had to stop the video. It became COMPLETELY messed up when they started playing with Pac-Man.  Also, Brad is great. I love his constant "I'm chilling out, I don't give a fuck" attitude. He's awesome :D  Trivia: "Chaucer", as in "Geoffrey Chaucer", comes from the French "Chausseur", meaning "Shoemaker". "

" It's a one player game, people! Not the kinect's fault if you try to use two people to do one thing. "

" Every time they do a quick look for a Kinect game, they always skip tutorials and they are always to close.  They really should practice these things before recording them, especially if Brad is in the quick look. "

" How often do you need to hear:  "You are too close to the sensor" before you realize you might have to move yourself or  it? "

" You are too close to the sensor. "

" For a site that supposed to know shit about video games, this is the utter most stupid thing i have ever seen.  And i watched the movie Mean Girls...  But seriously, when kinect stuff has been tried before, someone moves out of the way, both should not stand infront of the sensor, this is basic stuff. Just so fucking stupid.  Also brad, im so tired of you moaning with your sleepy voice about directions, when you are fucking skipping every tutorial.  Peace "

" Love Brad and Alex, but the issues with the Kinect were completely their fault.  The game's menus are set up to handle one person, meaning only one person should be stepping forward - not two guys flailing their arms around.  The game itself was even repeatedly flashing messages about you guys being too close, that you seemed to be ignoring. As for not knowing how the games work, you can't really complain when you skip the tutorials.  I think the Kinect is a pretty lame peripheral, but this is 100% user error.  - Scott "

 Pretty much all those. DO NOT ASSUME THAT EVERY KINECT GAME IS KINECT ADVENTURES and that it works in the same way. Try every game before embarrassing yourself. The whole first part of the QL was for ONE PLAYER only. Stay away from the sensor. I'm not saying kinect's perfect, just that you're giving it more shit than it deserves.  "

Yeah I think near the end of the quick look, they start to understand that they should of watched the tutorials, oh well... you live and you learn.

It said who was playing up in the top right

HA HA YOU'RE BOTH DUMB etc.
 
I like how it went "and the top player of the game is. . .no one!"

So people are getting upset about a "game" featuring  
a fake doctor with no proper scientific backing that he ever trained a brain, 
which is controlled via a poor, gimmicky peripheral.  

Clearly this entire experience is meant as a joke, and you can't expect more than this, 
 
edit: Also, the QL was fun! :D

Well, this doesn't look any fun at all.

I think I would rather have hot sauce induced diarrhea than play this garbage.

Jeez this is awful

standing way too close together 

The problem with all these games is Kinect, this doesn't seem bad at all but the Kinect tech is a mess. 

Alex is baaaad at quick math...
 
 
edit: Scratch that. They're both really bad :)

In the 90's we didn't have this kind of patronising saccharine snake oil fronted by a fake plastic doctor set to children's television music. Fuck this abomination. Alex and Brad were right not to care. "

motion games! 

People in America don't use 24 hour clock system? That's crazy.

yup still not sellin me on motion control

What am I?  Whatever.

You are to close to each others, to close to the camera and ofc the dude thats not playing should back off when only one is playing at the same time,,,,,
 
Also why would you use anything other than a 24hour clock for 24hour days and an even better question how could that be a hard thing to understand? :)

I keep reading the title as "Brody and Brain Connection."

That loading icon is the best thing, nay the only good thing about this generic piece of shit.

The best part was the photo. Just look at those two smartie pants...es.

this game looks very dumb and bad

I think Brad and Alex paid enough attention to it to simulate what would happen for a lot of people, who'd end up disappointed. It looks as if it's meant to be a party game, but if it's not immediate then those people won't have fun.

Glasses Glasses!

Brad's calling it, worst Quick Look of 2011.

It's disappointing that this Kinect stuff looks so much like Wii.  You'd think they would at least attempt to differentiate.

Brad's back of the box quote, "I hate this game."

" The problem with all these games is Kinect, this doesn't seem bad at all but the Kinect tech is a mess.  "

Army time is the only time!

What i've learned from all the Kinect Game reviews is that NO ONE at Gianbomb ever reads ANYTHING.

If only you could play starcraft 2 this way. 
EDIT: 
Oh man, now that I watched it , this looks horrible! 
Brad and Alex are a great duo, however.
