i guess what google is doing with cardboard is pretty cool in comparison

it's a shame, the oculus DK2 was pretty cool, I am a tiny bit hyped for VR now I have to say

will probably spring for sony's set after a few years if it's got decent games or other cool software

it's probably the way to go if you have a ps4 already because you're guaranteed some degree of support, in the PC space nobody knows what the fuck is going on now

yeah and i really don't have the time, money, or space for pc games at this point

the thing which really made an impact on me was playing a bit of elite dangerous and you look down and you can see yourself in the cockpit. your arms are horizontal and extend forwards parallel to one another to hold two joysticks, but your brain knows that you're actually holding a 360 pad, and you get this almost creepy feeling of wtf when you see your arms in a different position to where your brain knows they are

and that was it for me, I was like okay this is doing something to my brain which I haven't experienced before

ah i see, yeah that's definitely worth it then

i might be tempted to drop some cash on valve's solution when that arrives though, I have this beastly high end PC sitting here which I've not done a whole lot with, it would be perfect for VR really

it's sure to be the popular choice for pc if they do it right

oh man the controllers oculus announced look so ridiculous but they probably make it way more immersive

i guess it would be fun to just go back and play old games again

DJGrenola

2015-06-12 12:26:56 am

lol yeah

elite dangerous was a cool game to try VR with for a few reasons, I think I may have said this before but the fact that you have a cockpit that you're sort of grounded in really helps a lot, it's not like you're playing a FPS or something where I think you'd probably struggle a lot more with motion sickness. whatever speed your ship is going at, the cockpit obviously never moves, and I think that helps a lot\

driving games would probably be similar

red chamber dream

yeah

god i want a star fox game or something similar, fast action in a cockpit

arkarian

red chamber dream

though maybe i would just get sick because it would feel real lol

like i can't imagine doing a barrel roll

DJGrenola

I have a keurig machine. The kcups are way too expensive so I rarely use those. I use those plastic refillable kcups instead.

Got one of those here too. I eventually went back to just making coffee by the pot because of the price of the cups (and how much plastic you waste), but also because the sheer amount I drink makes pots at a time more efficient.

Just buy some refillable reusable kcups and then buy regular ground coffee at the grocery store. Fill the kcups yourself and it's only a few cents per cup vs. 50-90 cents per cup. I actually have 8 of them. Once they've all been used I clean them out and start over.
