Most companies don’t have strong enough lineups to support a solo presentation.
No. Even if we did, the time to apply for this summer would have been, like, January or something ridiculous like that.

I skip meals, but I don’t know that I’d say that I miss them. Usually too busy to notice.
I asked about the controller. Sounds like they don’t have any plans just yet, but are aware that people use the 360 controller a lot on PC. I took that to mean they were too busy to even think about it right now, but that it’d probably work. Or work eventually.
For what it’s worth, the prototype controller I was using for the rumble trigger demos was hooked up to a PC.
No idea about Kinect. Again, I suspect that’s something that will eventually happen.

If those are your concerns, then don’t buy a game console. Any game console.

You, uh, pay for the PC, ya know?
Anyway, the comparisons between PC standards and console standards are interesting because the consoles are starting to become more like the PC standard, where used games don’t exist because just about everything is strapped with a serial number.

They’ll have a bunch of system-level options for disabling voice recognition and stuff like that, yeah.

I don’t know, they’re saying that it supports external drives via its USB 3.0 port, but no idea what you can actually store there. Could just be limited to video or something lame like that.

They have a bunch of noise-canceling tech in that thing to filter out game audio and other stuff that’d be coming out of your speakers.
“Engaged” merely means “looking at the TV” in this case. There’s probably all sorts of weird data mining they could do to determine if parts of games or movies are causing people to tune out. Or they could use their heart rate detection to find out if parts of games are more exciting than others. To me this sounds…
A) Super-fascinating.
B) Completely fucking terrifying.
