At the time, he was interested in a fun way to do some exercise at home. Unfortunately, I kind of rubbished the idea of using the Kinect for exercise - something I now regret doing as, after a bit of consideration, I realised that you can actually get some decent exercise out of Kinect. Anyway, to show you what I mean, I made a recording of me playing two songs on Dance Central 2.
Its noticeable that after just 2 songs, I am already out of breath (but not yet sweating). Granted, this is more due to the fact that I am a fat, unfit b'stad but still...

- Unfortunately, I don't have any way of getting high quality video and audio from my X360 so I had to use the old fashioned way of pointing the camera at the TV. The audio quality, in particular, suffers for this.
- I also wasn't able to align the two videos properly (note to self for future - at the beginning of the next video, leave yourself some kind of visual or audio clue so that you can sync them up properly!!). Still, they are close enough so that you have an idea of how the game plays.
After making this video, I also jumped on line to find some videos of experts playing. Below is a video of the second song that I danced - but this guy is dancing on Hard difficulty. Kinda wished I had done this before actually. After watching him dance, I noticed quite a few areas where I had been doing the moves wrong.
Also, I could have spared myself the embarrassment of my video by just linking to his one instead. Ah well, que cera cera.
Update: If you really want to see me get pwned - check out this video.
