You know what Jim, I made this account just so I could write this, just for you.
Just to put things in context. Im 37, own all consoles, work in animation and freelance for the industry, oh and teach animation so I know my field, just as you claim to. I have been frequenting this site for years and Zero Punctuation is possibly one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. I watch you on occasion and am amused from time to time.
Recently though, you seem to have made it your responsibility to rag on the xbox one, so I am taking it upon myself to dish out some truth nuggets just for you.
For starters, We all know what turmoil the xbox 1 went through from its initial reveal under the grip of Don Mattrik, we also know how the company changed the proposition to match what gamers wanted, post Matterik. All this sh1t your slinging at them shows exactly what is wrong with society these days. Unashamed, egotistical, demanding, whining little b1tches, who take no responsibility for their own actions. You are one of the many causes for the rampant immature behaviour that is rife across the gaming internet forums. You have a greater responsibility than most as you have a public platform yet you choose to feed your ego rather than use some of that grey matter for good use and start a real debate, as you claim that you are.
They way you present yourself, you leave little room for debate because your so pig-headedly blinded by you self appointed importance. I try to look for the humour in your words but they are heavily laced with venom so the funnies don't taste so good, If you could see yourself from a detached perspective you would see that you are coming across as a whining fanboy that is jumping on the same old bandwagon and beating the same old drum that had been booming since last may. Get over it! We all know the score, we can make up our own minds as to which console to buy to suit out needs. Some of us actually are pleased with what Xbox has managed to accomplish in such a short time since the doombox was announced.
I am a strong supporter of Kinect and use it regularly without issue. But... then again, I am able to follow instructions and speak to the kinect the way It needs to be spoken to. I'm sorry that the Kinect is not aware of your self proclaimed importance so its no wonder it doesn't work for you when your shouting things like: "Dont you know who I am! I'm fuck1ng Jim Sterling, Now play my fuck1ng games..."
I get home in the evening, walk into my living room, say "Xbox on" and smile as I see my tv, surround system and xbox all switch on and greet me on screen. Then depending if I wanna play or watch tv I can then just say "Xbox, play watchdogs. or Xbox, go to 4od, play the it crowd." and blam, I'm in tech heaven. So I can only imagine how you have been trying to interact with your Kinect, actually, maybe I don't wanna know what you do behind closed doors, by the look of it, neither does Kinect
So, anyways. I'm sure none of these word will make any difference to you and I'm sure you will continue to smoke that sony pole. But, while your catching your breath between blowing your move controllers maybe you could do some real journalism and approach this new console generation without Sony's jizz all over your face.
