Xbox 720 Rumors

Just a little Kinect story - not that unusual - but my kinect playing has dropped dramatically since
a) the novelty wore off and
b) I busted my head open and broke 3 lights and the ceiling fan in my room leaping up into it with my melon on accident while playing kinect.

Dude it's ok, everything is wide-screen now.

1) Surely they'll fish eye the lens a little bit.
2) Holy crap you're taller than me?

Damn, you need to post the Kinect replay on Youtube or something.

Yerp, I'm the tallest in my family by about 4 inches. My mom is 5'3" (possibly shorter) and my dad is like 5'6". I joke around that it was the steroids in milk up here in the states before it was removed. My brother is about 5'7".

As for new Xbox, this Kinect condition worries me. And the new controller? I just got use to the current one (since it is now my primary PC controller.)

I have Filipino cousins and they top out at 5' 10.

My aunt is tiny like 5'1 or so.

I'll never forget when my family went to Hawaii. And there were of course a TON of Japanese tourists there (particularly at pearl harbor), investigating their handiwork... or feeling bad about it, either way. I'm 6'3, my Grandfather was 6'2. It was like being king of the Japanese people who all seemed to be about 5'4". And actually my joke earlier is in poor taste. They were EXTREMELY respectful. My grandfather was a world war 2 vet and wore his army hat the whole time and very many Japanese tourists would shake his hand and thank him for his service. It was rather nice actually, a fond memory from a long time ago.

I'm the runt at 6'1. Brother is 6'3, dad is 6'2.

A soldier/warrior is a soldier/warrior in any civilized culture, respect should always be shown regardless of differences.

Now to get tasteless, I'd love to bang me a Jap

Poor taste maybe, but those are always the funniest of jokes. That was some funny ish and also a very cool memory.
