What a twist! Playing Natal makes you look like an idiot!

This is the dumbest goddamn thing I have ever seen. Like, as much as I'm certain Move is going to suck, this... this is so bad. Congratulations, Microsoft. You managed to make motion control look worse than ever Nintendo did.

As much of a non-fan of motion controls as I tend to be, I'm going to blame that scene less on Microsoft's technology and more on the fact that those people pretty much didn't know how to not look like idiots already.

Looks like the eyetoy but more spastic.

Oh wait, it was a writer for Parade magazine and his family. No wonder they looked retarded.

Yeah, it's definitely not Microsoft's fault this time. Sorry, Nonsie.

I dunno man. They're doing what the game tells them to do, and the game is telling them to hop about the room and flail like an idiot. They might look dumber than your average person doing it, but I still don't see a way in which you can do that and not look dumb.

I agree, but I'm waiting to hold off judgment on just how idiotic and shitty I think the whole thing is until I see someone playing it that doesn't write for the world's most mindnumbing weekly publication.

I mean, it's definitely gonna be idiotic and shitty but come on.

Kim · 06-06-2010, 07:56 PM

TBH, I've actually never heard of Parade so yeah.

On the other hand, he ended up hitting his kid in the face, so maybe this will be ok after all.

Okay, the remote is me.

Okay wow, to be honest I'd only heard of Parade from that one Family Guy episode where Stewie's future self reads Parade but that couple sentences made me angry.

The worst part is that the person who wrote this actually thought this was funny.

Fuck you, AJ Jacobs. EVEN IF NATAL WAS SOMEHOW GOING TO BE AWESOME IT NOW SUCKS BECAUSE FUCK YOU

"We were playing Natal" is going to become the new "I fell down some stairs", I think.
