360 WebCam = 100% fun so far... - Oct 07, 2006 00:50
I popped into my local HMV, to check out what events were going on... Yes, there
were certainly sh!tloads of people queueing to play PES6 on the 360 (not the
PS2 version), so much that they filled the entire floor as a certain
Bobby Zamora, was going to be taking challenges on 32 inch Samsung HDTV' s..

Now the boring stuff is out of the way...

I noticed the 360 webcam sitting nicely perked on the shelf, so I thought to myself
....


Actually, I reminded myself to buy it, as up until that point I completely forgot it
existed!!!

So I took it home, of course I paid a surprising 34.99 for it... I remember reading
somewhere that it was 49.99..

Anyway, I opened the package as you do, and there was... ANOTHER HEADSET!!!!

Wow! It also came with UNO free.. so LAUGHING OUT LOUD to anyone that
bought UNO over X-box Live!!

I turned on the camera and thought to myself... Hmm the resolution seems a bit
odd, but when it comes to these things I usually don' t complain, so I play around
with the dark and light settings, only to find that the picture still stays the same...

O...k?

Totem Ball was the next thing to try out, and as fun as the game is, for GOD' S
SAKE it nearly ripped the arms out of their sockets. So I put the game down, then
I thought:

" Well, the game did recommend to play standing up."

Duh!

It still didn' t make a difference, ok, so it was a bit easier to move your arms up
and down frantically...

After a while I left Totem Ball rolling and rolling into the " delete content" field.
Then decided what to do about this shoddy resolution I was getting from the
camera. So I picked the camera up and noticed that it was getting quite warm...

(Why do all M$ products heat up so quickly?)

It was then i figured you could actually turn the lens to get focus... (Duh! Again!)

So after making a few funny delayed faces... I started contemplating about fear of
a fully naked ecstatic Halo 3 player, and some nut that plays GoW with nothing
but one of those hockey masks on, boxers and a boobtube...

SO far, I am having fun with the camera, I hope a lot of games use it in the future,
ie make your own posters in games and put them for comedic value..

Or something along those lines, the whole camera quality is pretty sturdy for
a webcam, I haven' t really seen a webcam that has as high detail as the Xbox
one..

I also can' t wait to map my face on Rainbow Six, and then map a grenade to Majik' s
face!

Hopefully the weapons in RB6 won' t have underslung grenade launchers like those in GRAW swo you won' t be able to simply fire grenades in my general dirction every time you spot me.

Seriously, we though you were letting someone else play...

Quez was like " that ain' t Tiz, this guy is actually good"

But then the other day you managed to stop me from reaching 50-0 when i was playing Mass. I was like " man, this is EASY until" until you came along and i had 2 enemies to worry about!

I forgot about the camera too. Maybe i' ll pick one up on my way home and dig my hockey mask out of my bag...

lol.

Well, like I said on that day, when I am playing with you guys, I love to relax,
because I know you guys are killing machines, so I just soak up the asphalt
(what the hell is that?) filled scenery, and just kill people that take a wrong turn..

Playing against you guys is a lot harder, so I had to concentrate, yeah, I know it' s
like playing against two different Tiz' s...

Well, the other day with Mass, Mass was doing all the killing and I couldn' t hit squat
so I switched from Rifleman to Automatic I think?

Then we had those 2 accidents at the Temple.

Dear God!

I bought the one with a years Live subscription since they were out of the regular camera packages. Shit, I figured why not? I' ll have to get another next year anyways...I made the mistake of redeeming the code and it didn' t add an entire year, it stopped 10 months short for some stupid reason. The damn thing cost 100cnd, most of that is wasted.

Moral of the story, don' t add a year subscription over another year, you' ll just waste you Live card.

I don' t know what an HMV is, nor a PES6, plus the 360 Eyetoy does not interest me, so I will not be posting at all in this thread. I mean after this post. Hopefully.

I got the Vision cam for the sole purpose of psting my head on game characters, the moronic mini games don' t interest me in the slightest.

The camera' s got different effects as well, one is a negative effect that makes
you look like a demon... it scares most people.

my friends house, I just video conference them, it' s fun.
