Comments on: Visiting the Village: Episode 41 http://www.mode7games.com/blog/2010/03/08/visiting-the-village-episode-41/ The gaming podcast with intelligence. Each week, we don our utterly metaphorical armour and confront the most intriguing mainstream gaming issues, as well as venturing to the arcane depths of the indie games scene. PC or console games: whatever your favourite species of electronic entertainment, we drag it screaming from the dungeon all the way back to the village.

Just because he can't make a good game for the Wii that doesn't mean the Wii is not a gaming platform. I brought this issue up to point out that you don't have to interview somebody out of "their actual function" to get some 'smart' results.

I’m getting to be like Ian on this – this generation of motion sensing games will be completely boring and irrelevant to people who like games with any kind of depth. Good for party games, bad for “real” games.

-AvP

Yeah, I’ve lost interest.

-Patrick Stewart

This was a perfect example of why interviewing celebrities about anything other than their actual function is a completely ludicrous exercise.

If they manage to pull the motion detection algorithm to be fast enough, lag might go away. @AvP Dunno about it. I can't play the game (an old computer), and unfortunately the game play videos didn't sell it for me. @Patrick Stewart What's wrong with him expressing his opinion? He is allowed to hate stuff. Just that it happens to be video games ... @Natal’s lag:

If you ever tried teaching your mom how to play your favorite game, you'll know what I mean. Even if a game has mechanics you've never encountered before, you're still at a huge advantage over someone who has only played minesweeper.
