That would be Kinect being so advanced that it can in fact make the on-screen character move even before the person controlling it did the movement!!
So I just went and looked it up, and apparently Kinect is a controller technology... so the implication, here, would be that the person in front of the screen is controlling the character on the screen.

OK... so that would explain the confusion where I couldn't understand why someone would want to stand in front of a big screen and copy what the character on that screen is doing, but all that would do is beg the question of whether somebody is seriously trying to claim that the person in front of the screen is controlling the character on the screen. It looks nothing like, and I don't believe that anybody could be fooled, and I don't believe that anybody else could believe that anybody could be fooled.

I don't believe that's what's going on. Is there evidence?

Not broken here, but then I'm using RefControl in Firefox, so most 'broken' images in this thread work fine. :wink: :)

Nah, you're getting it all wrong. It's a movie, and you're awarded points for moving in exactly the same way as the character on screen.

What bothers me is there are injured and/or dead on the ground that thing is coming in towards, and its landing gear breaks, which means it's going to smear them.

I quite carefully wrote "tao", meaning a tao, way or path, as in Ju-do/dao/tao, Karate-do/dao/tao, not to imply The Tao, which is The one, The best, of many possible paths. Lord Vader's path, as described, is clearly not the best.

The Firefox spell checker reckoned it was wrong. So I let it have its way.

I've now added "tao" to the dictionary, so it'll stop moaning, and I'll know better.

That's what I get for violating the rule that quotations must be verbatim, mistakes and all - which I've always religiously followed. But seeing "lord vader" made my blood boil, because I'm fucking tired of people not knowing the difference between a common and proper noun.

But we all know the law, as set out by gods of irony. Whenever you correct someone else's spelling or grammar, you will inevitably make a spelling or grammar mistake yourself in that very post. Correcting the failure to recognise a proper noun, I was, of course, predestined to then erroneously make a proper noun out of that which wasn't. :roll:

Oh I know the difference alright, but having never watched a Star Wars film in my life I just assumed it was his name pretty much. :-)

You're doing that purposefully to troll me, aren't you? Names are proper nouns!

Nice one, Rib! :wink:

Anyway, start of a new page, so pictures are mandatory:
