I used to be pretty good with old video games so that would be a plus for gaming. My interest is in checking Kinect as as new user interface for computer systems.
I have a ps3, not xbox, so I'm not as plugged into what the reception to kinect has been. From what I understand, it has quite a bit of potential as a UI, but it will probably depend on what kind of commercial success it has. If they come out with a true blockbuster game for it, it could be revolutionary...but the gaming world is littered with the corpses of potentially revolutionary peripherals.
If you don't really play video games much, I'm not sure I'd say you should invest several hundred dollars into it. Maybe see if there's any way you can borrow or rent?
I think it would be awesome if they have a martial art fighting game with the Kinect.
I'm pretty sure they do, but the tech is still in its infancy, so I don't think it's that great.

I feel for you. There no good way to deal with this. Class can be taught but lack of class can not be learned. No matter how you try, you can't be like them so you are kinda doomed to be disgusted.
I'm trying to stay in the grateful to have a job in an area I like living mindset. Esp since I have friends who don't have that luxury.
Good idea, Chu. It's really tough out there for a lot of folks.

Here's a question. You are walking down an alley alone with no weapon. A guy approach you with a knife in hand. What do you do?
give him some cheese to cut to eat with some crackers?
Nope. Take your shoes off and use them. Shoes are usually the only think that can deal with the edge weapon in a pinch while your are trying to block the attack and get away.
BTW, once there was a guy in Convington KY with 4 large lumps on the head from the heels of the shoes of yours truly. He was lucky I wasn't a woman. Imagine those lumps if I had been wearing stilettos.

Ask him the julienne the carrots I so happen to have in my pocket.

Good way to look at things.

Well, if he's right there, most of my shoes aren't easy enough to get off that I could just pull them off and use them for self defense...
ETA: Balancing on one leg in heels to pull off the other shoe isn't as easy as it sounds.
It's not always easy though. :(
...and now I want carrot cake...
and I want...never mind.
All posts lead to food huh.
It'll give you an opportunity to learn to confront people without getting upset. After two or three loud belches, you can say 'Geeze, dudes, yuck!!'
Mississippi mud...

You are right. For me it was so easy slipping out of my shoes.

I think that is an excellent idea - mark some boundaries early on
(no, not by peeing into the corner of the room, jeez, Chu!)
Sweet jesus, man, you just reminded me of my favorite desert my mom used to make. Even the thought of it makes me start shaking from a sugar high flashback.

..or go with the peeing.
That would definitely change the dynamic of the belch-a-thon.
