Escapist News Network: Kinect the Dots

[mjc0961]

Wait, isn't the Move cheaper if you only buy 1 controller? I'm confused.

Move is cheaper if you're only buying enough to play by yourself, but MS is trying to say that if you buy enough Move or Wii controllers for multiple people to play at the same time, it's going to cost more than Kinect.

Love the bits about Southpeak games. Makes me want to go back and watch Graham tear apart X-Blades on Zero Punctuation... In fact I think I will.

Also the jamtroller comparison chart was great, just barely visible at the top of the screen at the start, "Motion Controls: jamtroller NO others YES"

 

[duchaked]

mmmm jam
(lol fruitier than the Wii, beastly)

um...the controllers I already own are now cost-free and have buttons...and also functionality. sooo I think they are the cheapest and best option already

In the UK selling Predator or any other 18-certificate movie to a kid IS a criminal offence.

Society failed to collapse, hell rockstar even request official certification for their games.

However, Free Speech isn't protected in the UK either. It's a different world.

Well the UK government can ban any site they feel like so we're about on track for 4-chan getting banned next time the government hear about it.

Not really clear on what coldfrog was saying about freedom of speech, But I've a bigger bone to pick: What is the deal with UK gun laws? That kind of restriction just wouldn't fly...

In America

High Urbanised population, hunting reserved mainly for the landed gentry, little to no gun crime.

Jamtroller.

Absolutely brilliant

Dismembering the news is the best way to do it!

Last time they tried that, it backfired with a huge backlash.

Why was I expecting Paul to cover himself in the jam while hes still wearing the suit, and try to play a game at the same time. I swear to you ENN, Everyone would have had a big laugh with that one.

 

[coldfrog]

Oh my god! The JamTroller is the PERFECT peripheral for this game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102293-How-to-Make-a-Sandwich-Like-the-God-of-War]!

Haha, "How low can I go!". Priceless! xD

Microsoft/Sony press announcement tomorrow:
Many gamers have been swayed by the apparent low cost gaming controller alternative "The Jamtroller." While the Jamtroller may be fruitier, more nutritious, and compatible with a multitude of wheat based platforms, the claim that it cost less than a Move/Kinect is simply false. The Jamtroller simply does not have the same re-usability as the Move/Kinect. How many Jamtrollers will need to buy to have a full two player experience in one evening? Maybe as many as three or four, depending on how much your friends like toast. A LAN party could force you to buy so many that you would need to make more room in your pantry to store all the Jamtrollers while waiting for your friends to show up. That comes to a lot of money that would be saved by the infinitely re-usable Move/Kinect.

 

[dex-dex]

does the jamtroller come in different flavours? maybe raspberry? actually how about honey?

I also don't think the Canadian dental association will prove because it has too much sugar unlike the other controllers.

 

[Kilgorn]

haha nice limbo joke i lold

 

[ReverseEngineered]

This has got to be one of your best episodes yet. Well done! All interesting and relevant news items and all well grilled.

So, when will The Escapist be releasing the peanut butter attachment for the jamtroller?

 

[Sheaphard117]

Another brillent episode!

 

[BrownGaijin]

And this is why I didn't vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well, not really, but it is one of the reasons why I frequently face palm at his actions.

 

[Simalacrum]

I have seen the future, and it tastes of raspberries! (or strawberries... or plums... or any other fruit that goes well with jam)

Quote of the day, right here.

And don't forget, the Jamtroller also disables Mr. Radar brand radar systems.

On a different note, I thought Graham was going to note that the Predator movie, starring Schwarzenegger, was A-OK, but the AvP game, not featuring Schwarzenegger, would be restricted, then talk about a conspiracy theory. Although, I suppose the Headshot is a bit more serious than other features on ENN.

 

[The Random One]

I totally expected our anchors to be eating toast when the show returned to them.

MUST HAVE TOAST

Also, I think you underestimated the fruity potential of the PS3 Move's majickal color changing ping pong ball.
