Kinect Has a Terrifyingly Cute Calibration Mascot

[Woodsey]

Good to see Henry Hoover's little brother found a job.

Just seen the Gamesradar opinion on Kinect. It ain't very pretty.

[Flamma Man]

That is the absolute laziest design...I've ever...

Awwwwwwwwwwww...

 

[DaxStrife]

It looks like a flattened "The Merch."

 

[Irridium]

Must... not... look into... eyes...

Can't... fight it... must... obey...

MUST. BURN. THINGS.

 

[GrinningManiac]

D'AWW

So happy now!

Squee

 

[Chibz]

Do I get to punch it? Punching that thing would be soooo worth the price of admission.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

That isn't cute...


This is cute!

That is in no way cute.
OT: well im getting kinect just so kenny knows he has a freind.

Then you sir, have no soul.
Good day!

 

[binvjoh]

It's pretty creepy when you look at it for too long.

 

[Optimystic]

I see your puppy and raise you the following:

Also, Kenny Kinect is Kreepy.

No I just dont like dogs, kittens on the other hand!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I'm fucking sold on Kinect.

Oh wait...I play on my bed 2 feet from my TV.

Shit.

Well, if I had the room, I'd be sold.

 

[Fingerthing]

It sees your SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUL!

I gotta say, this is kind of clever. Rather than having a screen where you hold up a set of shapes (like, say, circles) on a card and position it so it's in a box, they slapped a U shape on it to make a smiley face and made the onscreen box into glasses. "Make the smiley wear the glasses." is an instruction most newbies can follow, while "Hold the calibration card so it fills the box on your screen." would having some people holding up the game box, or holding the card sideways, or backwards, or SOMETHING.

 

[reddfawks]

They should have made the calibration face a cat. It's just as sickeningly-cute, and you ALREADY know it's plotting your doom.



Yeah, she'll kill you, but what pretty eyes!

 

[gamepopper101]

It stares into your soul!

 

[Unrulyhandbag]

If that thing were yellow then it would be exactly like one of my daughters DUPLO bricks. Wonder if Lego will sue.

 

[Macgyvercas]

That thing is somewhat freaky...

 

[Ekonk]

Awwww, I want to take it home

^-^

And go to bed with it.

OP: Well, whatever floats the casuals boat I guess. Eyes could have been better though, right now they're kind of creepy.

 

[De-Moti]

Meh, I've seen cuter things.

 

[DarthFennec]

That's not cute, it's just some circles and a parenthesis ...

This is much cuter.
