Does Kinect Work If You Are GWAR?

Update: Today we mourn the loss of Dave Brockie, known as Oderus Urungus, the creative genius behind the legendary metal band GWAR. As a tribute, we are sharing this video of GWAR in the Game Informer offices, playing Harmonix’s Dance Central.

GWAR has been rocking the world for 25 years, leaving concertgoers drenched in fake blood and other bodily fluids. They slay monsters on stage, mock celebrities and politicians, and promote mosh pits that could rival a battlefield. But as a gaming journalist, I couldn’t help but wonder if these alien creatures, adorned with spikes and alien sea creature codpieces, could ever experience the wonders of Kinect for Xbox 360. So, I decided to put it to the test and invited them to our office.

To the surprise of my colleagues at Game Informer, lead singer Oderus Urungus and bassist Beefcake the Mighty eagerly accepted my invitation. I wanted to see if Kinect could sense their unique presence and if they could enjoy a game of Dance Central like the rest of us.

Watch the video below to witness the Kinect test and an impromptu tour of our office, which was invaded by GWAR.
