"The biggest lie of my childhood"

Not gonna lie, Kinect Adventures (Even though it wasn’t what it was told to be) was still one of the most fun childhood game memories I have, I remember playing it all the time and loving it.

I feel like I'm the only one who has good memories with Kinect.

You’re five years younger than me, but you look like you could be my dad.

Fun fact: Kinects are actually kind of useful for VR now because they can be used for a cheap (but kinda janky) full body tracking.

I had a kinect growing up and loved it, I remember it not being able to track my body perfectly but considering it was new tech i think it worked pretty well. i think it was probably better for kids who were new to gaming (like me) because we didn’t know how advanced games could be at that age

Every time I run out of money I think about how much money I would have if I had never bought a Kinect.

Wow, it's amazing to see Eddy talk about the Skate game "demo" where you could scan your skateboard and it would appear in the game. THAT is litterally the reason I convinced my mom to buy me a Kinect when I was a kid, it was the main reason I wanted one, being a skateboarder growing up. It's crazy to see Eddy talk about that years later because I've thought about it for so many years and as a kid I was so disappointed and felt lied to, even waited for that functionality to "come out", and soon after getting it the Kinect ended up put away and collecting dust because it simply couldn't do what they promised. And that's actually really shady, because kids can't tell the difference between a "tech demo"(which it actually wasn't even that), and the real thing, so kids see that and like me, beg their parents for one, while it actually can't even do a fraction of what was advertised, and that's extremely shady and dishonest. Fruit Ninja connect was pretty fun tho.

Eddy : "I'm not a nerd, look at me."

I reckon Milo was a hope for lonely kids to have a friend

i feel like i am in the wrong timeline because i distinctly remember playing these games (the animal one and the adventures one) and having a blast with little to no problems... like am i crazy or?... i mean i know it definitely happened because it is actually what got me somewhat in shape as a kid but this makes me think i am in the wrong timeline

I feel like higher-ups genuinely thought it was possible and promised it to the public before ever consulting the dev team if it was even possible. I can imagine the horrified dev team seeing the E3 presentation and cursing at the screen.

Eddy: "I'm not a nerd"

I grew up with the Kinnect ( being too young to understand or see the marketing) and me and my friends found an endless amount of fun from it and loved it for what it was, and to be honest it wasn't that bad

The Kinect hardware was amazingly solid, companies like auto desk did some super cool stuff for it, but for gaming it was a gimmick for sure

Dude I had the same experience with being fooled by the advertising growing up. The crazy thing is, the technology of the kinect

As a game developer i have to say the kinekt was pretty awesome and i still have 2 lying around. Not for the kinekt games ofc but for things like cheap motion capture usw with offbrand drivers ^^

i remember playing all sorts of kinect games and having a blast, granted i was young but i do specifically remember playing the kinect adventures game and an x box sports game that both worked fine. maybe im from another, brighter timeline lol

“I am not a nerd” sounds like something a nerd would say

Eddy wearing Drew Gooden's merch is such a power move.
