Welcome to Double Fine's Happy Action Theater

This looks awesome and adorable. Too bad without children it won't be as fun but still an EverythingisTerrible.com style video generator is a fun thing to have.

I can't believe this game was made in San Francisco, don't they know I have no room in my house to play a game like this? =(

Day one!

Looks like an EyeToy game.

I'm sure kids will love it, but come on Double Fine, make an adult game next?

...and the Soulja Boy Game for People Who Like to Drink Beer and Get Drunk or Smoke Weed and Get High of 2012 is...

can i ask anyone who owns a kinect:

how happy are you with your purchase? with the obvious exception of dance central (and gunslinger?!) has anything really justified the purchase price?

Pizza Sphere DLC incoming

Now that's a party game I could get behind!

This looks exactly like that ps2 eye toy stuff from years ago.
I remember that not doing well. But who knows, maybe this sort of thing is cool all of sudden? I don't know.

Wow, a retail Kinect game that's actually just that: A Kinect game. No half-assed "would be better with a controller" stuff, either!

Clearly for kids, but hey - it might be fun.

If you read the video description its actually a downloadable game.

This makes Kinect Fun Labs look like Gameroom.

Haha, I can't think of a worse video game insult.

Wow there is a lot of people hating on this thing who clearly have never been inebriated.

The saddest part of it all is that THIS is what's making me consider buying a Kinect.

Goddamn you, Double Fine.

SOLD!

Yeah, screw the haters; I could totally see myself having crazy, drunken fun with this. The retro aesthetic helps, as well. I don't have a Kinect at the moment, but having *seen* Kinect stuff, and having listened to the Bombcast and what DF seem to be going for, the whole 'just act out in front of the device and have crazy shit kick off' is exactly what is needed I think.

Woa, that is a lot of visual stimuli in one video.

This actually looks fun, but I guess I'm just a kid at heart.

This looks like pointless, silly fun. So much more fun than any minigame collection I've ever seen b/c they realize they can just throw out all the "game" elements and let people screw around. Seriously, if you can't see how this could be a lot of fun, set yourself on fire. I can't recommend it for you highly enough: set yourself on fire.

My kids will love the crap out of this game. They love seeing themselves on the TV so this will be perfect, and honestly i looks quite fun.

So this actually looks like a genuinely fun Kinect game besides Dance Central, Gun Stringer and... and... What else was good on Kinect so far?

Holy crap, so much hate for what looks like a totally legit kids'/party game collection. It's *downloadable*, and it actually seems like something I could see myself booting up if I had some people over, just for fun. No, it won't give you 20 hours of single-player campaign to enjoy, but it could very well be worth ten bucks for a goofy evening with friends.

I foresee a excellent Quick Look from this but that's where my interest ends.

Yo, thats a kids party game folks. Simple as that.

Ok ok, So I just listened to the bomb cast and I think my mind has changed. This would be freakin sweet at a party. Sorta like a rave but with out the stroke producing lights, I think i suddenly like it...

Not for me, but I'm surprised it took someone this long to try the whole augmented reality thing.

Sure, it looks a little rough around the edges in the presentation when you do that, but kids could care less.

Looks like great fun. There really is a large contingent of cold, miserable bastards in this community.

I wanted to hate this but i couldn't. it looks cute.

The only thing I'm interested in this game for is the Quicklook.

A lot of you people whining about the game should go listen to the latest Bombcast to actually hear what it's about. It's not something that's easily explained in this little trailer and actually sounds like a lot of fun.

Looks like Japan

Amazing quick look incoming.

:/

I hate when game developers have children, they always start making games they can play with their kid.

It's like an hd remix of those old ps eye games.

This actually looks like a lot of ridiculous fun to me. Crazy.

Jesus.

These games are great. The only thing I've enjoyed playing with kinect are crazy ass games like these. I know children will fucking love it. I'd love to play this with my godchild.

I don't see why you guys are hating so much on this game. You're not the target; get the fuck over it. Double Fine doesn't owe you anything. They just have ideas and make games based on those ideas. They do all types of games and that's one of the reasons they are so awesome.

at the very least, this made me want to start a family. Also, I like the music.

MONEY GRAB THEATER!

I really dig the concept of floor-based games; Smashing buildings and such. Nobody's really put much effort into commercial augmented reality with Kinect and this looks like a really good attempt at it.

Buy this game then you'll get another Grim Fandango. Double Fine hasn't forgotten their roots, they just need money. Buy their games and then you'll get a quirky innovative game eventually.

Looks like a bunch of screen savers thrown together. However, the kids seem to be having fun. 

Im interested in what sort of impact this has for them i cant imagine it selling super well

I just bit off 129% of my tongue.

So Doublefine is making LSD: The Game?

I know people are taking a shit all over this, but this isn't meant for us. So I'm not going to crap down their throats over it. I'm not bothered by it.

LSD: The Game is technically already a thing, minus the subtitle. But I digress.

If this is the shit that will get them money to make more great games for me, then I am ok with this.

Or it's the kind of shit that will get them the money that convinces them that making even more shit will make them even more money.

Oh man, companies trying to make money! Blasphemy!

Yeah, totally appreciate the negative feelings, but I actually smiled watching the trailer. I mean, the floor is LAVA! Crushing virtual buildings! That's stuff I would have loved playing as a kid, and I would definitely give it a go as an adult. Seriously, the Kinect has done nothing but interrupt my video playback for awhile now (who told you to stop, Kinect?!); I'd love to just goof off with this game collection.

That's certainly a Kinect game

This is exactly, exactly how I imagined a Tim and Eric game would look

finally, my dream of dying in a pool of lava can finally come true.
