Braindead TechCast EP 81: Moronic Monday & why no kudos for Microsoft

Posted on June 14, 2010 by Steven Hodson
Comments off

Normally Monday’s show is dedicated solely to all the moronic things that Sean and I have stumbled across in the previous week but this week we’re doing a bit of a switch-up. The first few stories will of course be of the moronic level but the remainder of the show is all about Microsoft’s announcement at E3 today about the new Xbox 360 with Kinect.

While Sean and I are honestly quite excited about what the new Xbox means as far as our living room entertainment hub bot of us were perplexed why there doesn’t seem to be any – holy crap Microsoft, you actually have done something pretty damn cool.

In fact other than the typical live blog type posts of the events as they happened the response has been the typical lukewarm *yawn* type of thing. Oh well I can say at least that both Sean and I pretty well have our Christmas shopping figured out this year.
