Recently Jon Carnage and I had the chance to check out Yoostar 2, a wild game that will put you into movies using Kinect for 360 and the PlayStation Eye for PlayStation 3.
Yoostar 2 uses the sensors of the Kinect and Playstation Eye to create a virtual green screen; movements are then captured digitally inserted into scenes from blockbuster movies, or scene templates for a type of free-style mode.
I was impressed by the advanced tech behind Yoostar 2, needing only the game and the Kinect or Eye, as opposed to the bulky setup required by the first title. The game also features a strong online component, as players can upload scenes to YouTube and get feed back via Twitter and Facebook.
Check out the interview done by Jon Carnage for some hands-on impressions and to see it in action.
Neranjan Bissoon is the mysterious video editor of Public Access Destructoid. He is also known as Bobby Venom in the roller derby circle and is practicing to become a fire breather to score discounts at Burning Man with people who truly believe they are from outer space. Not a word of this was made up, people.

I cannot figure out who Jon reminds me of, so I've slapped together this small equation representing some of the traits I see in him as embodied by notable people/characters:
Raoul Duke [On "devil" ether]
+ Nicolas Cage ["Face/Off" / "Leaving Las Vegas" hybrid]
+ Tom Green [As seen on his latest talk show]
x [Come-hither face-stubble + greasy-looking "who-gives-a-fuck" hair]
= Jon Carnage [?]
I dunno if there would be any copyright restrictions but this game + Jon Carnage would equal a million views on the Chill Bros Masterpiece Theater channel.
Ok lets see...not your typical PAD interview which i enjoy a lot. But regardless i think you guys did a good job with the interview even thought i am not looking forward to this game...get your Movies out of my Video Games!!!!
I'll just wait for the pr0nz version of yoostar...but i dont know yet if i wanna be the pizza delivery guy or the cable guy....maybe the UPS guy, but then the Dtoid UPS guy would get mad with me...we should make a highlight for him on jtv.
Am I able to Recreate some of My Favorite movies like....Fap to the Future! Or Jurassic Fap. Maybe Boglins 2? Father of the Fap? Or the Last Fapbender?
