I normally record every Fallon show, along with every Conan show. Fallon is slowly getting better at his job. He's actually a pretty funny guy.

Conan on the Tonight Show is sick by the way. Coco is the shit]]>Jun 10th 2009 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/
I was impressed with Natal. It's nor the real deal yet, and it was still great. I seen the kicking ball thing already at E3, plus they demoed Burnout which was impressive as well.

Well done. Jim from 'The Office' was also there. He's so funny]]>Jun 11th 2009 2:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/
I keep seeing that natal isn't 1:1, guess what, neither is the Wii or the PSMC.

If the Wii was 1:1 waggle wouldn't work, you'd have to do the motions exactly. This means that motion translation programs are sitting between you and your avatar.

The PSMC is practically 1:1 with small, slow motions, ones that are accelerometer dependent. With larger faster motions, the ones that rely on the camera to work, you get lag. Watch the part of the demo video with the laser whip, the animation can't keep up with his motions.

Natal is the least 1:1 out of all the systems, but it is also the least limited in how it can be used. ]]>Jun 11th 2009 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 11th 2009 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/]]>Jun 10th 2009 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 11th 2009 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 12th 2009 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/
I gotta agree with ALBGunner04, Fallon is getting better, of course he still has a long way to go, but Conan wasn't perfect at the beginning either though. Fallon is not my favorite SNL actor by any stretch, but I'm happy he is getting better at his job. The Late Night show deserves a good host.]]>Jun 10th 2009 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/Jun 10th 2009 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/project-natal-prototype-hardware-pictured-on-jimmy-fallon/
