Mars rover games land on Kinect, in browsers

 @Landsharkk You were discussing facts, I was having fun at your expense. Two complete different things.

Again, because you're obviously tone deaf, you missed the fact that I was MAKING FUN of Kinect by comparing it to something that is naturally laggy given its distance travelled in relation to its point of origin. And in your rush to defend your favorite corporate entity, you missed my sarcasm and started busting out all kinds of space to earth transmission rates for NASA and just generally being really fvcking nerdy, which I thought was awesome.

 @Shame-usBlackley 

Well, my opinion on the game BF3 is 10/10.

But we were never discussing opinions with this article, we were discussing FACTS.  

You said,

"Egghead, what I was doing is analogizing the proven and consistent lag in Kinect as a device, and making an outlandish claim (laggier than space) to make a funny, erroneously assuming that little console warriors like yourself would see it as such. Thanks for the entertainment, regardless. "

When communication fails, who do you blame, the speaker or the listener?

Your cry for attention is rather unfortunate.  When you start calling people names then you are failing at communication.

 @Landsharkk And if you want to talk about something really embarrassing, let's talk about why you gave Battlefield 3 a 10. :P

@Landsharkk

Embarrassment? I think this is funny, because you're too thick to realize when someone is fvcking with you. Do you really believe that I'd taken the time to measure the lag from space to back up an argument about Kinect (you did, however, and I find that fascinating!)

 @Shame-usBlackley 

So, you've taken your original comment of:

"The rover will be impossible to land with Kinect due to the lag. Conventional controls FTW."

and

"Call it what you want, but however much lag the actual NASA equipment has, I'm sure it has far less than Kinect does. "

and turned it into senseless bashing.  You should really feel proud of yourself.  Even when proven wrong you still respond with a senseless and immature comment.

I would suggest that you instead have started off with, "I don't like Kinect".   Straight to the point and it would have prevented further embarrassment upon yourself.

 @Landsharkk So hey, you've finally found something that would be better than Kinect. :P

 @Shame-usBlackley 

Again, ignorant and senseless.

Mars is 35 million miles away.  The communication signal between Earth and Mars travels at 186,000 miles/sec.  This means, it takes 188 seconds (3 minutes and 8 seconds) for the communication that's sent from NASA to reach the receiving device on Mars

(35 million miles) / (186000 miles/sec) = 188 sec.

 @Spartan_418 As if you weren't being dismissive.  I was also unaware gamespot was a classy place. 

 @Rayzakk Being dismissive. Classy.

 @Spartan_418 Drop me a line whenever you get to whatever planet your going to. 

 @Rayzakk "ruined by the short period of time that industrialization has been on the Earth"

This is the standard conservative view of environmentalism, and it's wrong. Humans can have and have had a very negative impact upon this planet.

Mars, as far as we know, doesn't have any existing life or ecosystems for us to ruin, so even if we ruined it, we would be ruining systems that we created. Very different from ruining all of Earth's ecosystems that have existed for millions of years before us.

 @Rayzakk 

You do realize that any and all space and planet exploration benefits all future space and planet exploration, right?  I'm not suggesting Mars, but what we learn about exploring Mars might very well be used in living elsewhere in space.

 @Landsharkk LOL and your suggesting our future is living on mars and we should start preparing for it now. 

 @Rayzakk 

So are you suggesting we wait until the earth is just about dead before we spend time and money exploring other worlds?  By then it will be too late.
