As for PC, it's easier to secure your pc than it is securing a console because you have access to all the controls.

Doesn't matter if it's on or not, they can listen to you.

the only way to guarantee it is to pull the battery out.

Reason the phone is usually off is the battery doesn't hold charge very long.

Don't forget Lego Starwars! And Borderlands...and I think Battlefront did it as well...

Oh those games automatically sign into their accounts so they can track their achievements and game play time? Neat-o!

Lego Star Wars does, on the PC anyway. My point is that there are much more reliable methods of doing what the Kinect (supposedly) does with controller detection that have been around for 20 years, and do it better.

A sequel to Halo Wars could greatly benefit from the voice recognition. But that's not really related to Kinect's (unless the device has dedicated resources for processing like it does for imaging).

Its best not to argue with him, I learned this on facebook the other night.

There's plenty of ways to use the kinect outside of it being "for lazy people". I really dont think thats an argument you can justify really.

EDIT: Nvm I'm not even going to bother. I don't have the energy anymore to get into these debates.

Another step in the right direction at least.

Still won't be buying any of these new-fangled consoles. I'm sure my $5,500 PC will keep me satisifed, especially once I duct tape that fleshlight to its optical drive and make an eject/close drive macro.

I mean, what?!

The only thing you'll be missing is next-gen Destiny.
