Warning: If you’re a fan of video games — even a casual gaming fan — we’re not sure there is anything that can prepare you for how insanely awesome the demo video you’re about to watch is.

Microsoft held its huge press event at the annual E3 conference earlier today, and there were several highlights from the show. First and foremost, the company announced that the Xbox One will be backward compatible with Xbox 360 games before the holidays this year. That was enough to make Xbox fans positively giddy, but Microsoft was only getting started.

There’s plenty to be excited about from Microsoft’s E3 2015 event, but there was one demo in particular that riled the audience up more than anything else: Minecraft for Microsoft’s HoloLens.

Two years ago, Microsoft started hyping up the Xbox One at E3 with what might have been the most disastrous sales pitch for any gaming console ever. In case you don’t remember, Microsoft introduced a bunch of new restrictions for the Xbox One that didn’t exist with the Xbox 360 — such as a requirement to log onto the web once a day to play games and restrictions on selling used games — without giving any sort of coherent explanation for why those new rules had to be in place.

There are so many ways that the Apple Watch is a very different product compared to anything else the company has released before. It’s Apple’s first wearable device, its first luxury product, and the Watch is really the first device to bridge those two categories. Those are all good things, but there’s a flipside to this coin.

Apple’s Watch launch has been a complete mess, and there are other problems we’ve spoken about at length. Let’s focus on one in particular: the device itself is far more complex and, in some ways, far less intuitive than other mobile devices from Apple.

Case in point: No one I have come across with an Apple Watch seems to know about one of its most important little tricks.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho has an iconic murder scene that doesn’t need any introduction, and you’ve probably seen it at least once even without actually watching the movie. As terrifying as the original shot might be, a black and white version starring two cute kittens is significantly cuter, but still a bit freaky.
