I am not sure how long Mark knows about this project before the announcement.

Kind of scary. Of course if I was going to pair Microsoft with a coffee company it would definitely be Starbucks.  I'll keep making real shots on my real espresso machine and save my money for Diablo III, which for my money will be the "number one game of 2009" unless of course it comes out sooner.  *crosses fingers*

LOL I twittered it last week :)

Extensive testing. They had to really seek out the ideal machine to use for this game, I heard some dude in S. Wa State invented it all.

Still not sure if this is a joke, but I am thinking it's not.  Next up should be Dance Dance Barista Revolution...which might be quite entertaining.

To think that I got into coffee(geek) in order to get OUT of gaming, and into the real (physical) world.

It takes an average of 42 beans to make a shot.  Douglas Adams wrote in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that 42 is the meaning of life...coincidence?

Starbucks doesn't grind or tamp.  So you only push a brew and steam button to a beat?
