GWAR Test-Drives Kinect
Kinect may require certain conditions to work properly, but will it work if you're sci-fi/horror heavy metal band GWAR?
By this point, Kinect's strengths have been well-chronicled [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/103855-Kinect-Prefers-a-Tidy-Room]. We know if it works if you're sitting, if it works if you have a darker skin tone, and if it works if you don't have quite enough room.
But our colleagues at Game Informer recognized that there was a crucial gap in consumer data: Will Kinect work if you're GWAR [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/12/20/does-kinect-work-if-you-are-gwar.aspx]?
In all seriousness, this video of two members of ridiculously over-the-top performance band GWAR playing Kinect in full stage getup (alien sea monster codpiece and all) may be one of the most hilarious uses of Kinect I've yet seen - serious props to the GI guys for pulling this off. It's also horrifically NSFW, even after they bleep out the swear words.
Seeing GWAR dance to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" - it just doesn't get any better than this. What's next, GWAR singing Christmas carols?
Oh, right [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/106288-GWAR-Horrifies-Entertains-With-Messed-Up-Caroling].
The full video is not to be missed over at Game Informer [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/12/20/does-kinect-work-if-you-are-gwar.aspx].
